LINN COUNTY INDUSTRIAL
FAIR.
To the Citizens of Linn County:
The boys and girls of Linn county
are learning many valuable things at
school. There are, also, many valu
able lessons they may learn at home.
To this end, I am planning for this
county a contest in gardening, poul
I try, mechanical and general indus
I trial work in the home. In many of
i the most progressive states the school
j children have greatly increased the
I wealth of the state. We can do the
: same in Oregon. May we have your
: support?
In doing these things the children
will learn to respect labor, to use
their hands as well as their heads, to
make practical application of the
things learned from their books, to
see nature unfold, and to become
successful men and women.
I In order to encourage them in their
work at home and in order to bring
the home and school closer together,
nnd to make them appreciate country
life, believing that the country in
Linn county is one of the best places
in tue world tor boys and girls to de
i velop, we have planned for an In
dustrial Fair to be held about the first
of September. At this fair the chil
dren may exhibit the best of what
they have raised or made. I believe
that home work in co-operation with
the parents will help to solve the
problem of finding profitable work for
the town boys and girls as well as
for the country children.
The garden and' animal competition
is open to both boys and girls. Each
is to do the planting and cultivating
of the produce he or she exhibits.
Prizes will be offered for the best of
the following: field corn, sweet corn,
pop corn, muskmelons, pumpkins,
squashes, potatoes, cabbage, grain
selections, bird houses, water melons,
cale, labor saving devices, pieces of
furniture, mechanical toy, bread,
canned fruit, jelly, mending, darning,
aprons, dresses, flower exhibits, chick
ens, ducks and pigeons.
The girl's skill in sewing is to be
shown by exhibits of aprons, each
apron being made by and for the girl
exhibiting it, good work and neatness
being the test rather than elaboration
and costly material. In cookery each
girl may exhibit one loaf of bread, one
pint or quart of fruit and two glasses
of jelly, or any or all of these. All
work exhibited must be done by the
girl without help.
For this contest the children will be
divided into two classes, those twelve
years and older and those under
twelve years of age. I wish to say
that contributions will be thankfully
received, by the committee, from
those who think this enterprise should
be encouraged and who feel that they
can give something with which to
purchase prizes. A number of prizes
have been offered. The business men
of the county will be solicited to offer
prizes from their stock in trade.
A prize will be offered for the best
miscellaneous exhibit by any citizen
of Linn county. We hope to be able
to report the prize list within a few
days. We solicit the support of every
citizen of Linn county in making the
enterprise a success.
Verj- truly,
W. L. JACKSON,
County Supt.

A whole week of rousing, radical reductions in all chil

in need of shoes. We also feel sure that if you knew about
the low prices we are offering first-grade footwear at you
would not hesitate about buying your present needs. Pos
sibly the savings will look so good to you that you might
even" supply future needs.
Our big sale has been on one week and manv shoes
have been sold. We find that we are still long of chil
dren's shoes from the smallest ones up to Boys' and Misses'
sizes. Special effort will be put forth to make the prices
so attractive that you will buy these shoes this week. It's
the LAST CALL of this big shoe sale. Will you allow
such opportunities of saving step by unheeded? There
will be a number of children's shoes placed in our windows
along with other shoes that will be marked FREE, provid
ing the ones calling for them can wear them. Who can
tell, you may get a pair free; any way, better keep watch on
our windows.
Don't forget that our entire stock is on special sale,
all greatly reduced. Men and women as well as the chil
dren can be fitted and the savings will mean something to
you. Don't delay, this is the last week of these reductions.
