THE FAIR
Judging by tho way UiOvSubscrlp
lions have poured In since Monday
morning, by. tonight there will have,
been pledged the $20,000 which tho
directors of the Commercial Club
have t set ns the amount that Bend
should offer for tho establishment
of tho Unschntes county fair here.
The raising of such h sum goes far
toward removing the charge of In
difference and of dog in tho manger
attitudo with which tho town has
hitherto been chargeable.
Once the machinery was set in
motion tho town showed in n re
markably speedy manner that It
.was interested In tho Biipport of a
fair. Slnco Tho Bulletin's criticism
has' been that there was no interest
shown before other than to keep
tho fair away from Redmond, it is
now ready nnd glad to offer con
gratulations on tho new spirit In
dicated by the subscription.
Taking It now for granted thnt
Bend is a squnro shooting contender
in tho field against Redmond, thero
remains only to be considered tho
jiereon with the chief interest in
tho sort of fair which wo, assume
is intended nntnely, the farmer.
Redmond has tho machinery of a
lair already set up; Bend has tho
means to set It up. That placo
now favored by a majority of tho
fanners, as contemplated by the
county fair law, ought to get tho
fair, land getting It ought to put
on a good ono.
The $20,000 subscription Is Bend's
bid to tho farmer to favor her for
tho" fair. Other considerations which
ought to hav6 weight aro tho various
p'rojocts for the benefit of tho fnrmers
set In motion In the past year by tho
Bend' banks. While the.se have been
matters of Individual business Initi
ative, rnt her than of community ac
tivity! they have served to tlo to the
townjccrtaln lines of agricultural de
velopment, especially .the. pure bred
livestock business, which should havo
weight In tboi decision.
. Indeed, with the money for a fair
subscribed, the town may well go
ahead to secure, grounds, erect build
ings and plan an exhibition. Whether
this Is or is not called the county
fair is of little Importance. There
should be an airplane landing field.
Possibly the experiment station
under discussion last year might bo
connected in some way. There should
be especial attention paid to live
stock exhibition, with opportunity to
bold sales. There should bo an ath
letic field. Other features will de
velop, and. .these things can bo done,
now that tho town has shown tho
necessary interest, without selfish in
tent and without violating any of the
rules of nelghborliness or fair play.

of tho crafts elect ono or more of
their number; to tho local soviet, nnd

' SOVIETS!!. '
..t
To those who are not familiar with
the Russian system of soviet govern
ment a recent article by Represent
ative Barton L. French, of Idaho, ap
pearing in tho magazine of tho Cham
ber of Commerce of tho United
States, furnisher a good deal of in
formation and considerable food for
thought.
"There is no magic in the word
'soviet'," Mr, French points out. It
means .merely a council, a legislature
or deliberative body. Anyone of our
American governing bodies, from a
city council up to the national Con
gress wpuld be called a soviet in Rus
sia,,. vTho thing of importance is how
tbo, representatives in theso Soviets
aro chosen. When one comes to this
"CHARITY SUKFERETH LONG."
From several different and unre
lated sources come requests that wo
take notice of an article In the latest
Issue of tho local labor paper charg
ing tho 4 1.8 with failure to give aid
when requested to tho family of a
member who was in need, nnd Im
plying, also, that tho Red Cross had
been derelict In its duty ns tho local
charitable organization. Some want
the -1 Ls defended from what is called
a baseless and malicious attack;
others ask that the connection of tho
Red Cross with the case bo mndo
clear and the impression that it has
failed to servo not bo permitted to
gain currency.
So far as the 4 Ls ls concerned
we think It amply ablo to defend It
self and wo print In this issue com
munications which cover its rela
tion to tho matter.
It may be that the words of the
article In question wero not Intended
to slur tho Red Cross. They como
at the conclusion of tho article after
mention has been mado of help given
Th- 'writer has beoil Impressed by
tho broad mlmlod attitudo of solim
of Bond's cUIkoub regarding tho lo
cation of thb, county fair. Redmond
Is slucero na nro tho above mentioned
people, of Bond In bclluving that
Redmond Is tho center of an otilt In
nii otherwise desolate, frosty, and
unpeopled county. Tho writer htm
iuoYg thnii oncu heard tho query in
Redmond what Is to become of lleud
In several yours whon the timber Is
all out. Even our roprccjitutlvc Don
ton O. Burdlck entertains the s.uno
opinion, that excepting , Redmond
territory nil tho country Is n bairoii
waste. At a banquet given R. E.
Struhont nt tho Emblum club, Mr.
Burdlck ns sponsor for' Redmond
called tho attention of tho dinners
to tho excellent quality of the pota
toes which formed n part of tho
menu, ns evidence of Redmond's
Agricultural resources. But those
potatoes wero grown by thb writer
two miles from Bond
Tho premise upon which (he argu
ments for tho fair at Redmond are
based in false. Redmond Is not now
able, ns sho has been In the past, to
boast of agricultural lesourees that
nro greater than those ofjfiUctid to
nny appreciable extent. Much land
Is being reclaimed, to tho soVth and
east of Ilond. Lender tho Arnold alone
eleven hundred acres hnvo been set
tled up by small farmers fin llttlo
htoro than a year. Up tho river,
around' La Pino nnd upon iho high

and stockmen.
When two cars loaded with "Des
chutes Gems" roll away from the
station at Bond 011 tho 17th it will

according to tho por capita consump
tion In the United States, a town with
n population of six thousand will use
twenty-four cars. Thereforo thero
the family by tho Hod Carriers have bee.n produced 4 4 car loads of
Union and arc. "This also is n case potatoes adjacent to Bend, about
for Red Cross and others who aro

need It." If no criticism of tho Red
Cross in Intended all well and good
If it is Intended then' it is duo that
organization and especially Its de
voted civilian relief secretary. Mrs.
V. A. Forbes, to havo it told that It
has helped the family In question In
every possible manner, with money,
with food, with clonics, and with
other assistance.
"Others who nro inclined to do
good," havo helped. Tho county
court has given this family more
than any other family which has
asked for aid. A lodge that wishes
its name to remain undisclosed has
helped. We know of individuals who
havo dono thejr share.
There Is no place for criticism
here. Most of these facts could havo
been discovered by a slight effort at
Investigation. If they we.ro not well
known it is because, in the words of'
the apostle, "Charity Vaunteth Not
Itself." It will also be remembered
that "Charity Suffereth Long" nr.d
