The Sixth Annual Morrow County Fair has come and gone, and this year it ws perhaps somewhat dis appointing owing to many adverse circumstances, not the least of which may be stated the big fire of July 4th at Heppner, which de stroyed the hotel and many res idences, and left the little city in a condition unable to care for a large number of outside guests; and then, the war activities, unfinished har vest and adverse weather all colu mned to keep people away. Con-! sequently the attendance was the lightest ever experienced since the air was organized and gave its first exhibition six years ago. It had been planned to have the pavilion well filled with exhibits this season, and Secretary Smead in conjunction with Agriculturist Brown had figured out just how this was to be done. Brown took sick and was unable to carry out his part of the program, therefore much of the plan for getting in the display had to be abandoned for lack of time and sufficient help. However, what was displayed In the agricul tural and horticultural lines was the very best, and fair demonstra tion of what might have been placed on the tables had it been gathered in. The grain display this year was perhaps the best showing ever made, both as to variety and quality. And fruits and vegetables came in for a good showing. Both Irrigon and Boardman, the Irrigated districts in the north end. were on hand with booths filled to the brim. Their displays of grapes, prunes, vegetables and watermelons were very fine. From Irrigon also came the best display of field corn. This booth was in charge of Farmer Smith, Merrill Doble and Hueh unmm, ana no pains was spared on the part of any of these gentlemen to make known the good Points ner- lainmg 10 tne irrigon section. 0. L. Blaydon and C. C. Payne were in charge of the Boardman display. This display also included some very fine corn, showing what can be done In that line in the sand and sage brush country.

Enlisted as a Private in the early part of the War in Canada in the Mounted Rifles. Was In France within two months from date of en listment. It was found that there was no practical work for the Mounted Troops, so his Unit was split up, and he was sent to a Tunsellng Company as a Sapper. Tunneled all one winter under th German Unas. While at this work h tanned by a german shell. Was promoted In the field to First Lieutenant for gallantry and vm afterwards attched s a Transport Officer. Was covered by explosion of shell and was invalided back to England. Took passage on the Hr. pital Ship Lanfranc. Ship blown up in the English Channel on April 17th by a Submarine. The ship carried 300 British and 150 German Drlson- ers who were wounded. Thirty of the British were lost and 60 Ger-. mans. ' While in Belgium waa the guest of the King and Queen and while convalescing In London was commanded by the King of England to visit Buckingham Palace, with other Canadian Officers. Was also guest of Rear Admiral Goodnough In the North Sea, where he spent ten days on a cruise. Was honorably discharged and sent back to Canada having done twenty-two months ser vice in France. Was raised in Alberta stock raising part of Canada, and alwava took a very active part In everything that had to do with horses. That is why he choise the Mounted Unit for Oversea service. His father was one of the old stock men of the Cana dian Northwest. had a fine display of canned fruits and vegetables In this booth. The industrial club display In charge ot Mrs. Shurte was one ot the leading attractions and many blue ribbons adorned the various articles on the shelves here. The Junior quilt, offered by Dlst. No. 51, frame extra gooa stock and if yon are work of local government uuuuug some very nne milk cows. At the Capital Provost Marshal they wUl be offered at this sate. General Crowder.with a force of Mr. Akers has aken special care of forty officers perfected the plans and his milk stock.

Adv. ... hy thirty thousand civilian officers ond was administered hv people, friends and neighbors. It was the finest demonstration ever made of local self-government. As to the cost, it is to be noted that the bill for the draft is far less per man than for volunteering. In 1314 it cost 124.48 for recrultlne a man Into the volunteer system: in 1915 It was $19.14, and for nine months just before we went to war it was (28.95. During the first vear of the war down to the seventh 01 April, 1918, official reports show that the cost for registering each man was 54 cents. The cost for each man called was 1.69, and the cost for each man accepted for service came to $4.93. x The appropriations for the Provost Marshal General's office were $19. 34,903, and the expenditures were $13,054,634.44 and included anion its largest items the salaries of local and district draft boards $4,210,000;. salaries of clerical assistants to dis trict and local boards $3,900,000 and $2,548,413 was spent for print ing and other expenses. Our Army, Is, every American be lieves, the finest body of human beings the sun ever shown on. It Is fit to fight that the world may be safe for democracy, and It is built strictly on the lines of democracy. The millionaire and the humhlfiat laborer march side by side. Officers are drawn from every walk of life. No man is exempted because he is rich. None are drafted because they are poor. Men are measured by their capacity. Past, or caste, or creeds are not taken into account. Thus the selective draft has be come a badge of honorable service.
