SOMETHING FOR BOYS AND
GIRLS TO DO.
SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS.
Slatq Superintendent L. R. Alder
man has addressed a letter to the
boys and girls of Oregon who have
decided to grow some garden pro
duce, raise some chickens, or pigs, or
ew, cook or carpenter for their local
fairs or the state fair, in connection
with the great state wide scries of
agricultural and industrial contests
this year. The young people are re
minded that their schools are closing,
a hot and tempting summer is ap
proaching, and that the rewards both
in prizes and in good habit cultivation
will continue as big as they arc now
although the number of contestants
to claim them may grow smaller. In
his letter the state superintendent
sajs:
"Your schools are now closing and
many of you will hear the call of the
swimming pool and the shady woods.
I hope you respond to these calls of
nature with a right good will, but do
not forget your gardens and your
pigs and poultry. Jf you fogret your
gardens, the calves, the chickens, or
your little brathcrs and sisters arc
likely to disturb them. If you neg
lect your pigs they will squeal on
you. Stand by the work you have
started. The number of contestants
may grovy smaller but the value of the
prizes will grow greater, for those lit
tle lambs, goats, and pigs to lie given
for the best vegetables are fattening,
those Shetland ponies arc getting
more glossy, and that thousand dol
lars in cash is looming up like the
mountains of Midas. At least $20,
000 in cash and merchandise will be
given in prizes to the boys and girls
.of Oregon this year.
"Perhaps you would like to hear
what the schools in the other counties
arc doing. You may easily guess this
from the fact that there are to be
over 85 children's fairs. liy county
the number already reported to my
office is as follows:
Baker 1, Benton 1, Clackamas 10,
Clatsop 1, Columbia 2, Coos and Cur
ry I, Crook 2, Douglas 6, Gilliam 1,
Grant 1, Harney 1, Hood River 1,
Jackson 1, Josephine 1, Klamath 1,
Lake 1, Lane 7, Lincoln 1, Linn 3,
Malheur 1, Marion 2, Morrow 1,
Multnomah 2, Polk 1, Sherman 1, Til
lamook 2, Umatilla 7, Union 7, Wal
lowa 1, Wasco 1, Washington 3,
Wheeler 3, Yamhill 1.
"We think there will be several
others but the first reports show the
above as certain. From the middle
of August to the middle of October
the work of boys and girls will be the
center of attraction at these fairs.
Isn't this a line race? Now that you
are fairly into the game show your
grit and stick to it to the end."
The political pot has boiled fierce
ly this week. In fact there has
been a hot old time in the country.
One Teddy Roosevelt, and one Bill
Taft, according to the street par
lance, have been having it. It has
reached the name calling, with
prospects of an upper cut or two when
the . opportunity offers. The week
ends with Mr. Roosevelt decidedly in
the front of the race, though there is
a difference of opinion as to the num
ber of inches of space. The gain has
been tremendous.
On the democratic side too there
has been some sparring, with Clark
somewhat ahead.
The final plunge towards the goal
will be still more interesting, who
ever is nominated.
The inculcation of a spirit of pa
triotism into the minds of school
children is a good one. Most people
