As the time neared for the train to depart Ishbel MacDonald. who alone of the three girls was ac companying her father to the United States, reached from the door of the car and nervously plucked him once or twice by the sleeve, urging him to step aboard. Her flushed face betrayed excite ment. Her eyes sparkled in antici pation.

Arron Frank and the Carnation Farm stables took seven places each but Carnation stables placed three firsts to Franks two. The Judging moved slowly, perhaps because the stakes were large; however, the crowd did not seem to mind but sat In quiet ad miration of the lovely animals which behaved themselves so ad mirably in the ring. The horse show crowds have been much larger and much more enthusiastic this year than in past years; for the most part the sta dium is full and the audience keeps its place until the very last event. In the first event Friday night, hunters both heavy and light weight entered and displayed some fine work. The glorious Humdinger .belonging to Mrs. Alma S. Rosenkrans and. admir ably ridden by her won first place. Second was won by Loughs pring owned by Aaron M. Frank. Third to Kula Kula owned by Alex J. Young, Jr., and fourth to Gold Thorn owned by Adolph Spreckles. The crowd as usual was .wildly enthusiastic over the sleek, broad hipped draft horses. After rather quiet maneuvering the four-in-hand teams were placed with first place to Carnation Farm sta bles, second to A. C. Ruby; third, McCroskey and White; fourth, A. C. Ruby; fifth, Carnation Farm stables; sixth, A. Schab. Five-gaited mares won much admiration, and they gave the crowd plenty of performance to applaud.

Speaker Here States "All Quiet on Western Front" Strong Sermon for Peace "The greatest sermon against war that has ever been preached." That was the description given by John F. Logan, prominent Port land attorney, in his address at the Lions club luncheon Friday, of "All Quiet on the Western Front," story, by Erich Maria Re marque. Mr. Logan at the time did not know that this story was ap pearing serially In The Statesman. The speaker was describing conditions as he found them in Europe on a recent.trip, and he mentioned that the sentiments against war found in this book are typical of the spirit of Ger many today. No soldiers are to be seen, and the Germans are devot ing their energies to constructive pursuits. Their government Is socialistic but not communistic Yet lures Big Crowd Perfect Weather Still As sists in Bringing Huge Attendance Hundreds of Young Visitors Put in Appearance For Parade Four down and two to go at th Oregon state fair and still V.z, flawless sunshine continues apd the crowds pour in.

Wis. t the Roguelea Farm; a Holstein calf from the Falrvlew Holstein Farm; and a Guernsey calf from the Oregon Guernsey cattle club. Judging was almost complete yesterday, the afternoon enter tainment again played to a park ed grandstand, and the exhibit buildings were crowded with in terested spectators. Yesterday waa pressday, and newspapermen from all over the state were in evi dence to witness the 68th Ore gon state fair. The three vaudeville acts went off with their usual snap in frost of the grandstand, and the Vet erans' Fife and Drum corps played old army tunes. Miss Eva Roberta sang two vocal selections and the Portland Police quartet sang a return engagement. Guy Frisco, the R. A.

All teachers of the county are required by state law to attend the annual institute, and since it in terfere with opening of some f the schools, Mrs. Fulkerson says it is advisable for book lists to V given out Friday, October 4, that students may be ready to start classes the following Wednesday. "Never again will there be an autocratic sovereign in Europe," Mr. Logan said. However, be des cribed the burden of large stand ing armies which is still being borne by the nations which were on the allied side in the recent war. Persons who are so unwise as te pay $12 a quart for Illicit liquor In this country, may hare the sat isfaction of knowing that whiskey costs just as much in Germany. said Mr. Logan. However the nigh price there Is explainable by the high tax: the govern went profits Instead of a group of law breakers. Everywhere In Europe, said Mr. Logan, a gap in the ages cf men Is noticed: few are to be seen between the ages of 28 as 40. . .
