COOS II THE FAIR 4-H Club Contestants and Coun ty Display Reported on by George Jenkins * S' 441 club members from Coos coun ty attending the state fair in Salem this week have again won their ahare of honors, according to Geo. Jenkins, who returned from the fa|r grounds with the judging and demonstration teams Wednesday evening. Sidney Cadmpn, who won a regis tered Holstein calf last year at the state-fair, as a prize for being se lected as. the most, outstanding Hol stein calf club member in the state, won first place in the Herford show manship contest this year. Teddy Cad man, hie brother, won fourth place in the Holstein showmanship contest. Coos county’s livestock judging team, including three boys from the Coquille calf club, placed seventh in the judging contest Over twenty teams competed and the Coos county teams made a total «core of 1905 points. Members of the camp cookery club in the Roy district gave a demonstra tion in packing an overnight kit at the state fair. Although the definite placing of this team had not been an nounced Wednesday it made a very creditable showing, according to County Agent George Jenkins. In addition to the honors won by the club members through participa ! tion in judging and demonstration contest, livestock taken to the fair ! by these boys from Coos county did its share of winning. Ten head of , registered Duroc Jersey hogs were entered*15 competition by the Cadman i Brothers. . These hogs are the offspring of , stock which these boys secured from A. E. Doerflor, of Silverton, who is ‘ one of the prominent breeders of the ' state. On this lot of hog« a group of four won first place in the breeding litter class. Both of these classes are in Division I in 4-H club work. One of the bogs shown singly as’a junior boar won third place in open class competition. The other animal, a junior sow, had not been shown when the group returned from Salem. Th,« wrilw heifers and one grade Herford calf completed the livestock exhibit from Coos county. Teddy Cadman won second place on one of the Holstein heifers and in open class the three heifers won fifth, sixth and seventh respectively. One of those Holstein heifers was won by Signey Cadman at the state fair last year. The Club delegation left Coos coun ty for the state fair last Sunday, ac companied by Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Cad man and Mr. Jenkins, where living quarters and meals were provided for 441 club members entered in these contests by the state fair board. Dressed in His Best Clothes Health Assn.

Miss Dorothea Francis Stops Lease on Community Building Given Up by Chamber . Overnight at Mayor Berg of Commerce Home—Been to Alaska Mayor and Mrs. J. A. Berg had as At it« Tuesday evening session the When Lou Hazard appeared down town Monday morning in a different suit than he usually wears for busi ness,- some people may have thought he was getting extravagant in blos soming out with two new suits in one summer. Such, however, was not the case. He was only wearing his best suit because his business suit had to go to the cleaners. Here’s why. v Out at the Kanu Klub Sunday, Mr. Hazard attempted to <tep into a boat tied in front of Mrs. Sherwood's cab in, or at least he thought it was tied. He placed one foot on the prow,.pre paratory to stepping in, and the boat moved out from shore. Lou couldn’t get his balance to step back and as the boat moved-out into the East Fork the distance between his feet became greater and greater, until he could stretch no further—and then he sat down. Standing, the water was only up to his chin, but his business suit had gone wet even before the eight eenth amendment is repealed. 1888 RECORDS —-*■ Of the Coquille Literary Society Dug up by J. J.
