So while you may be attracted by the amusement features, and these, by the way. promise to be good, come prepared to see a fine exhibit of the products of the county. And while you are about it, don't over look anything good that you may have porduced on the farm and in the gar den this season and prepare it for the fair. Primarily this is what the fair is for: to show what you have been able to excel! in during the year in production on your farm. Bring in your prize grains, vegetables, stock and poultry and show your neighbors what you have; don't come to the fair to find fault with what you may see, and make a lot of talk about what you have left at home that was so much better. By bringing in your stuff you will add to the volume and attractiveness of the exhibits and the interest and istructiveness of the fair. Tax money is not spent on a county fair just altogether for amusement. The fair is an educa tional institution well worth while and it should be freely patronized as such. V m unanimous.

It has been a real joy to the citi zens of this town to have so many of the streets sprinkled this season. The dust has been kept down very materially and the air cooled and the joy of living considerably enhanced thereby. During the week a commit tee of the council has been making the rounds of the citizens and busi ness houses in order to get their con tribution towards paying for this ser vice and we have not learned with what success. We presume, howev er, that the necessary funds were raised, and hope that it was enough JUST TIME- to have that new suit ready for the FAIR and ROUND-UP See our snappy patterns from $30 to $40 LLOYD HUTCHINSON Cleaning TAILORING Pressing Dying Rtpairing Central Market ( I FRESH AND CURED MEATS 1 Fish In Season 1 Take home a bucket of our lard.

Such actions are narrow mind ed, small and unpatriotic. Perpetual ly carrying on a political campaign is a curse to the country. Central Ore-gonian. boosting the affairs of others. Somebody suggested that it was time for the newspapers of the coun try to adopt a week in which their own business should be given pre cedent, and the Gazette-Times thor oughly endorses the idea. The date set is the second week in November, from the 7th to 12th, including the great world event, Armistice Day. The official title for the week will The Sales Tax There are many effective argu- ments. of course, to be urged against jfce ..Subscribe for Your Home Town the proposed sales tax. One of the strongest is that the poor widow is thereby mulcted of part of the mite she is compelled to spend to feed and clothe her fatherless family. Nevertheless, the bald fact re mains that the nation needs addition al revenue, and must secure it some how, somewhere. Any sort of tax is objectionable, and the problem be comes one of choosing the least of evils. To us is occurs that the sales tax has some features to recommend it as less inequitable than others. For one thing it ought to come nearer than other systems of taxation to tax ing the citizen in proportion to his means. The man who is able to spend five thousand dollars a year would pay five times the tax of his neighbor who spends only a thousand dollars. The very poor who can expend little would pay little. The prodigal whose principal object in life is to get rid of his dollars would contribute to the government a pre mium on his extravagance. The thrifty man would be afforded an ad ded incentive for thrift. The spent dollars would pay the tax, not the conserved dollars so vital to the country's industrial and commercial welfare. It seems to us that the farmer ought to favor the sales tax, more especially if it exempts, as in Can ada, the products of the farm. The farmer bears his full burden of state and county taxation by reason of the fact that his land cannot escape the assessor. It is more difficult for him than almost any other class to evade Paper Week." Thousands of papers will join in this event, and our readers will hear more about it as time goes on. Ever ready to help in any cause that is in the interests of a better community, better living conditions, and better government, we now ask the readers and advertisers of the Gazette-Times to turn in and lend a hand during Subscribe for Your Home Town Paper Week," and boost for us. For Patriots Who Think We doubt if the average citizen realizes the tremendous growth that the Boy Scout movement has made in America of recent years. Do you know that there are sev enteen thousand, seven hundred troovs of Boy Scouts in this country so that there is not a city and hardly a town or village wihtout one or two troops? And do vou realize that the num ber of uniformed Boy Scouts in good standing in those troops is now well over four hundred thousand r i Wherever you find a Boy Scout you also find a manly, reliable, self- reliant boy who is anxious to ao gooa deeds in this world. Judge Daniel B. Trade, of Chicago, says that of the thousands of boys who have been brought into his court, not one has been a Scout. Juvenile judges an over the country make the same re- oort. Boy Scouts graduate into Amer ican citizenship in a few short years, and fine citizens they are, a most Morrow County ' r lilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 1 ll p 3 lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilll!
