the couuly court to the man and
the boy in each of the three districts
within the county who have the
best corn exhibits a: the Coos-Curry
fair in Myrtle Point next Septem­
ber.
The three districts are Coos Bay,
Coquille Valley and Myrtle Point.
The purpose is to stimulate interest
in the growing ot coin, a campaign
lor which was started last year by
County Agticulturist J. L. Smith,
who organized the corn shows
which attracted so much attention
last fall.
In addition to this the county
court has also agreed to send a
Coos county exhibit to the state
fair at Salem next fall, following
the lair at Myrtle Point. This will
he the first time this has been done.
It is now understood, also, that
one ol the displays will be about a
carload of cheese and butter sent

Association.— Marshfield Times.

It was a good job well done on
the school grounds Friday and now
they are in shape for further im
provement. Early in the morning
the workers commenced gathering,
and soon the grounds were covered
with groups of busy workers, dig­
ging flag, grubbing stumps and
trees, clearing away trash a n d
otherwise preparing the gtound for
the plow. By noon the trees and
stumps had all been removed, and
a good start made on the plowing.
By the time the noon whistle blew
everybody was ready to eat. The
ladies had been busy for some time
before preparing the lunch, and
basket on basket of good things
were carried into the school house,
each one indicative ol (he feast to
come. Nor were appearances de­

The S ate publication of the
elementary school books is one oi
the most important subjects engag­
ing the attention oi Oregonians at
this time.
Commercial Bodies,
Parent-Teacher Associations, the
Granges, the Unions, Legislators
and the citizenship generally are
becoming more and more interested
in this plan for saving money for
the school patrons, simplifying the
work of the teachers, giving more
work for Oregon workmen.
Two states are operating plants
tor printing textbooks.
California
is the more notable as an example,
as its plant has been established lor
years and the experience of that
state has been most varied and pro­
fusely commented upon.
After
years of political strife and bicker­
ing, the printing plant of that state
has made good, despite its detract­
ors and critics.
The savings last
year to the people of that slate.over
•he retail prices charged by the
bonk publishers for the same texts,
amounted to over $250,000. With
the same ratio of saving that Cali­
fornia has effected, Oregon would
have spent $70,000 less lor text­
books last year than she did. Kan
sas has established its plant but re­
cently and, on accouut of the state
being under contract with publish­
ers for many of their texts, only a
small percentage ol the books are
now printed in the new plant The
savings made for the five months
ending December i, 1915, were
over $30,000. The percentage of
saving is approximately the same
as the present experience of Califor­
nia and with increased production
the percentage ot saving will natur­
ally increase. From the experience
of these two states Oregon, if State
printing of texts is adopted, will
save at least 40 per cent on the texts
she is using, which will amount to
$60,000 to $70,000 a year.
In addition to the actual saving
of thousands of dollars, there must
be taken into consideiation the fact
that all the money paid out for la­
bor and some ol the materials used
in manufacture will be kept within
the State of Oregon, helping to
build up the State and improving
industrial conditions, not alone at
the capital city, but at the paper­
making centers.
The table below gives the com­
parison ol retail prices of Oregon
books with the cost of producing
the California set. It shows clearly
the saving fchat can be made thru
the State publication plan, should
Oregon adopt it:
