SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year - - fl 60 Six Months - 75 Three Months - - 50 - The County Fair. The county fair has become rec ognized as an important factor in the life of the farmer, in stimulat ing his ambition toward the better cultivation of the farm product or the raising of high bred stock. That this is true is apparent wher ever the custom prevails of the yearly gathering of the farmers and their families in a certain district during the several days set aside for fair purposes. It may lw that you remember in your boyhood or girl- hood days the rambling building, decorated with festoons of bunting, with many stands and shelves each given over to the display of some choice culinary dainty, fancy needlework, or mayhap the spaces on the floor occupied by the exhibits of manufactures or the product of the garden, hugh squash and pump kins surrounded by vegetables of lesser size. Then the grand stand, the judges Btand, the long rambling nheds where are displayed the fatted , hogs, the wooly sheep and the high J spirited horses or blooded . cattle, j you all know the picture, the noisy cries of the various venders, the , music of the merry-go-round and 1 the many smiling and happy faces and joyfull salutations. It was ( great wasn't it? And you went home and wished you could wake j up in the morning and have it all happen over again. But another year was to pass lefore the recurr ence of the jubilation. During that year mother and sister made great efforts in the embroidery line, with the object in view of capturing one of the prizes, and father and brother planted more intelligently and bred more carefully with the same end in view. Yes it was the county f;iir that inspired these efforts, and , who can measure the vast amount if good it accomplished .-Kelsonian Now what Lincoln county needs is a county fair to awaken the. far mer to compete with the brother farmer to -show him that he can raise just a little tetter vegetables, nicer and redder apples, fatter and sleeker cattle and horses. Something tj stimulate him to do just a little tetter each year, why that will be the test advertising Lincoln county c mid have and that is all that Lin coln county needs, is to be 'adver ted so as to get more people to come and make homes hero. To clear up and cultivate its fertile val leys, we do not want people to come hew ju4 because it is easy to make a living in Lincoln county, but we want people with push and energy who will help to develop the re s iurcos of the county. The Toledo Development League has taken up the county fair pro lxwition, so let us all Wst all we cm to have a county fair in Lin coln county. " George B.

I am a candidate for Joint Sen ator for the 24 district, comprising, lincoln, Yamhill, Washington and Tillamook counties, on Statement No. 1. Oak Nolan. Voters. j Having asked to be considered by Republican voters in naming a can didate for assessor, I believe it my duty to make the following statement. I believe there is no office in the county of more far reaching influence than the assessor's. The general up building of the county, the county buildings, the roads, and the schools are directly and" vitally effected by his work. I do not believe with the taxes in their present unsatisfactory condi tion, that the precedents established in this office would be a safe guide. In fact the only guide I would fol low would be that established by the State Legislature when it form ulated the tax law. 'When per plexed as to procedure on any sub ject, instead of consulting old re cords to see what others have done, I would consult the best legal ad vice obtainable.
