It is going to be something unus ual and something you cannot af ford to miss. It will be enter taining, instructive and patriotic. This latter feature is being em phasized in a great effort to as semble the finest agricultural, horticultural and live stock dis play ever snown, with a view to encouraging a greater production of food, w'hich is already recog nized as our country’s second line of defence in this world war. Realizing that under the great burdens and sorrows of wuir, en tertainment and recreation are more necessary than ever before, the government is spending mil lions of money to re-create the bodies and minds of its soldiers. The necessity for introducing an uplifting mental stimulus at this time among the civilian popula tion plunged into thevottexof war work, is to be met at the Oregon State Fair by a larger, more comprehensive and finer art department t h a n e v e r before. Works of art include anything of beauty which is well done; oil or water color paintings, por traits, etc. that the owner deems worthy of a place in such an ex hibit. The department is housed in a new brick building, the ar ticles are well cared for and care fully packed and returned to the owners.

Loder Everyone Urged to “Come Through” A representative audience as sembled in the High School aud itorium last night for the Loyally League rally. The proceedings were opened with the singing of the national anthem and America, after which the pledge to the flag was given. Mayor Bartlett presided and as the speakers from the county seat were late in arriving, he called for impromptu speeches. These were made by Guy Gra ham of the class of 1914, now on leave from Kelley Field Camp, San Antonio, Texas: Prof. Guth rie now a Y. M. C. A. Secretary at San Pedro, California; and W. Givens. Their remarks were all apt and to the point. By the time these were over, the adver- itsed speakers had arrived. Dr. Milliken delivered a most masterly address in which hi* contrasted the two governments of Germany and the U. S. A. He analysed their respective con ceptions and principles and con sidered which would be the Let ter one for the world. He had no difficnlty in settling this ques tion. Attorney John W. Loder of Oregon City followed Dr. Millikin, who unmercifully held up the slacker to scorn, unmasking his camouflaged excuses. He show ed the nec-.isity of the draft to mobilize democracy for the main tenance of its own principles. He urged all to stand back of the boys and not to put a stone in the path of any one wanting to enlist. We must all recognize our personal obligation in thr (Concluded on Pa^e 3)
