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-

L. Blaydon and C. C. Payne were in

This display also included some very
fine corn, showing what can be done

Has been identified with a number
of patriotic drives. Came down from
Canada to work for the Red Cross
In Seattle, exhibiting some War
Relics.
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

his milk stock. There will ha directed the work assisted by five
many useful articles and implements hundred clerks, mostly women. The
SOld a E-E. Mlllor to thwMctlos- selective draft was put into effect
eer. 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.
