Prairie boys are pretty much
like boys everywhere certain-
ly no worse, possibly a little
above the average. They need
a little looking after, just like
other boys.
There is a curfew ordinance
and they are supposed to be
the streets by eight unless they
have business or are accompa-
nied by an older person. The
marshal is making an effort
to enforce this ordinance and
some of the boys who insist in
staying out after hours stand
and excellent chance of run-
ning foul of him.
Considerable mischief has
been done by boys this sum-
mer, come of it involving quite
a fi nancial loss. A favorite pas-
time seems to be heaving rocks
through windows and this is
rather expensive. It is to be
hoped that some of this sort
of mischief can be stopped.

The 4-H club work has sup-
plemented the school work
and so combined they make a
fair in and of themselves.
The fair will offi cially open
on Friday morning with the
school children’s parade and
out of the 1,600 children in the
county there will be more than
1,000 in the parade led by the

The various schools com-
pete with their stunts in the
parade is held on Saturday
at noon and Manager Carl
Driskill says that she has ev-
ery assurance that there will
be a wide variety of fl oats
and that they are going to
considerable work and ex-
pense in preparing them.

ticipating in the Pendleton
