At this season of the year Dus- lness is usually quiet at all the seaside resorts. People have gone to their homes and persons out of employment go where they caa get work. Wages are good and hands are scarce in the cities and on the farms of the Willamette valley and no one need 'o be Idle who desires to work. "Idleness is the devil's work shop" and all who are out of employment are conjuring up some devilment. Such persons are always a nuisance to the community. Industrious people are always contented and happy while the idle, listless, lazy folks are always discontented and un. happy. A person who wants to : succeed must work. i This ruthless world war that was brought on by Prussian militarism headed by the Kaiser must be fought to a finish; al though it cost millions of lives and billions, of money.

REPORT FROM LAND SHOW No doubt the readers of the "Leader", especially those who sent exhibits, will be glad to hear from the show. Lincoln County is well represented In nearly all of its resources. Special word was given to bring out the dairy Industry and we made the high est score of any county in thla line making 10.5 points out of a possible 15., while our next closest competitor scored 9.1. We also scored well on orchard products making 8.8 out of a possible 10. Our total score was 68.03 and gave us second prize while Clatsop got first with a score of 75.83. We should con sider this a very good score as three counties scored below B0. We got into special money four times as follows: 1st Early Free man potatoes, W. F. Wakefield. 1 1st. Gold Coin potatoes, O. W. Crocker. 1st. Spring Wheat, James Franks. 2nd Climax oats. E. T. Raddant. The idea of a coast county winning a prize on grain has caused a great deal of comment among grain growers. The manufacturing exhibits are fl.ie and the musical con certs are also good but with the exception of the fruit, the agri cultural exhibit at the State Fair was better than at this show. The crowd is rather small ex icept evcni.igs. The free ad j mission for soldiers brings quite I a good many of them and the I jitney dance every evonln'g helps to draw a crowd. The management is fine and everyone seems to feel at home. If you come to Portland before the show is over, don't fall to make it a visit. The location Is on Third Street between Claj and Market. Open from 1 :00 to 11:00 P. M. Resp. yours, i C. H. Wakefielu. ELEVEN YEARS AGO Items taken from the files of the Leader of that date which may be or Interest to our readers new and old.
