BILL-BOARD stands out on the street or in an obscure place on a country bridge till it fades, a fit tiling for nerovus horses to shy at while the driver and occu pants of the wagon go hurriedly by, The poor! old weather-beaten board stands many years after the firm whose name it carries is out of busi ness. Look at some of those in Dal las vicinity if you disbelieve this as sertion. Ihe newspaper goes into the homes and is read by the whole fam ily and some of the neighbors. It is estimated that every country pa per that js well printed and well ed idted has five readers every week. How many, pray, has a bill-board f It is the same proposition in the city. People stop and shiver, if it is shivering time, to learn what might be on the board, but the newspaper could furnish a service ten-fold bet 'ter at a less cost, if all the expense and loss were counted. The idea that abouj so many poeple will visit your place anyway, is obsolete. There is very little of (the bill-board work done in these days among progressive business men. I am not shooting this dart in any but a general direction and can verify every statement. To be exact, the country newspapers, according to the latest census, reach 65,000,000 peo ple. The statisticians made no rec ord of the numler of bill-boards the people reach. This is not important. The local paper gives the greatest possible publicity at the least cost in time and money to the advertiser. RICKREALL r (Too late for Friday.)

Jim Morton i iniKl to f on his ridil rmite Wednesday, on ac - ;n,f i.f a 'is 1 tM,!h. Orval Price In a circular issued from the State Suprintendent's office, he savs: "Last year, as near as we can set at it, there were about 60,000 chil dren engaged in makinsr or raisina" something with which to compete for prizes in the industrial contest. That was only a little start in the work, but it was a great stimulus to effort. As a result of the inspiration gained last year we hope to have practically every one of the 125.000 school children of the state engaged in some phase of the work this year. "To those who did not get inter ested last year, and are not familiar with the rules of the contest, we wish to say that they are very simple. The most important one is that the children must do the work them selves and that the parent or guard ian will be required to sign a state ment to tnat effect, in raising gar den, some one else may plow the ground and harrow it, but the child i must do the rest planting, culti jvating, harvesting etc. In raising 'poultry the child does not have to own the parent flock, but must set !tho eggs and feed and care for the chickens they exhibit. "One of the main objects of these contests is to get the boys and girls interested in doing something. To teach them to do something practical, something worth while, something by which they can earn a living when they grow up to manhood and wo manhood. And the only way to learn how to do something is to do that thing with your own hands. If you show something that some one else has raised, or made, .you are cheating yourselt out of the most valuable part of the contest the experience gained by doing it yourself. "Not only that, but in showing something that is not the product of his own effort he is practicing decep tion, cultivating dishonesty and lay ing the foundation tor a life of dis honor and trouble. He may be suc cessful in deceiving others. No one but himself and the members of his own family may ever know that he has cheated, but that is enough. In doing what he knows is not right, he loses respect for himself, and that is a long step in the wrong direction. When a person loses respect for him self he soon loses th confidence and respect of others. "To thy self be true, and it follows as the day fol lows night that to no other man thou canst be false." Every child should early in life get this principle firmly fixed in his mind, and" through life never depart from it. "Parents, don't think you are fa voring your child by giving him something to take to the fair to win a prize with, for you are not. On the other hand, you are doing him an ab solute injustice. You are cheating him out of the valuable experience of earning how to do something, and at the same time educating him to be dishonest. Character building is the most important part of the early education of the child, and the great est value in these industrial contests is along that line forming in the child habits of industry, economy, system, honesty, self-reliance and all of the traits that go to make up the good citizen. "There will be jnany valuable prizes for the childnT at the State Fair again next year, but none of them will be worth. ,a much as a clear conscience amU'the experience gained by raising or making some thing with which to win the prizes." ...w otivii, yui iney were deter mined to remain until a good view of the country could be obtained, and will no doubt remain in this section of the state. MAY REVIVE BASE BALL Six-Team League Proposed, to In clude Dallas; Players Must Be Actual Residents. According to reports from Mc- Minnville there is a chance for the organization of a baseball league, in eluding in the list of cities on the route, Hillsboro, Forest Grove, Cor nelius, McMinnville, Sheridan and Dallas. So far nothing has been done at this place toward getting in on the proposition, none of the base- oailists having been approached, hut at Hillsboro and McMinnville the or gaziation has reached the prelimi nary stage. In speaking of the move ment a Hillsboro paper sasy : w. it. Adams, of McMinnville. was in Hillsboro Wednesday investi gating the prospects for the organiz ation of a baseball league for the coming season. Mr. Adams believes the inauguration of electrical service by the Southern Pacific has an im portant bearing upon the success of tne movement, and that there is no reason why a league which shall in clude Hillsboro, Forest Grove, Cor nelius, McMinnville, Sheridan and Dallas should not be organized and be a success. His plans include con fining the personnel of the clubs to actual residents of the towns, and says that the importation of outside players heretofore has caused great dissatisfaction in McMinnville. A meeting will be .held at McMinnville Feb. 15, at which it is planned. to have Fielder Jones present to make suggestions. Wiliams' Jubilee Singers. Will be at the high school audito rium Thursday, Jan. 23. The enter tainment will begin at 8:30 p.m Hear -what the critics say about them: "I have had the rare pleasure of listening to the Williams Jubilee Singers. Their singing is an uplift as well as a refined entetainment. I gladly commend them to my friends across the sea." Gipsy Smith. "The Williams Jubilee Singers gav.e an entetainment in Trinty Methodist Episcopal church, Denver, which gave the greatest satisfaction. I take pleasure in recommending them as a first-class musical organ ization who will give pleasure every where." Louis Albert Banks, Den ver, Colo. "An audience of more than 1200 people greeted Williams' Jubilee Singers at the Whte Temple Satur day evening, and from the great ap plause, everyone was delighted." The Oregonian, Portland. The program consists of: Jubilee songs, plantation songs, negro melo dies, camp meeting songs, negro lul- labys, negro comic songs, cabin and river songs, sentimental songs, bid- lads, ragtime songs, classic selec tions, sacred songs.
