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place anyway, is obsolete.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.

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.

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

NO man ever becomes really great who does not give
himself to the service of others; and the truest
fame and the greatest honors are for those who give
most freely.
Robert E. Lee gave himself utterly to "the
cause he believed in; and thousands of those who
agreed with him, and thousands of those who
did not, honor his memory.
He was a great man; greater than his time; a great
soldier, a great American; and best and greatest of all, a
real gentleman. His fame will endure.
