Some people jumped at conclu Bions about the fair premium mon ey and some ill feeling has been engendered. Anyone who knows the infinite patience necessary to get the premium checks made out has a feeling of sympathy for the un fortunate treasurer. Some errors were made and because Mrs. Isom and the treasurer went away soon after the fair it is taking longer than usual to rectify them; but please do not judge harshly, and assist in spreading false rumors about, for if you won a prize you will get your money eventually. The rumor that there is not enough money for the premiums as so much went for the grange booths was perfectly absurd and without foun dation. Please remember that the members of the fair board spent days and days of their time and strength, gallons of gasoline all for the benefit of the fair without one cent of recompense, and do not be so quick to find fault Also spare venting your ire on Mrs. Root who was not even a member of the board and who has received the benefit of all the disgruntled prize winners for that which she had nothing to do, but was kind enough to give out the checks that were on hand.

THE time has come for a change in Oregon's political and econ omic affairs. It is time to place in the executive chair at Salem a gov ernor who has the independence, the courage, the integrity and the ability to brifig about the success ful execution of a comprehensive and constructive program of vitally needed reforms. Future prosperity of the state and the welfare of its people depend largely on the man selected at the coming election to take over the reins of government in Oregon. Without an aggressive, fearless executive of unquestioned integrity, the people of Oregon can hope for little from the state house during the next four years. Those splendid qualifications can be found in Julius L. Meier, one of Oregon's leading business men who was nominated independent candidate for governor at a state-wide mass meeting at tended by 5,000 voters. Mr. Meier brings into a political campaign a new type of candidate. He is primarily a business man. His interests have been far from the field of politics as he has builded a iiiiiiiiiiiiiitimiiiimiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiH IIIIIHIIHIllllll mercantile institution second to none in the west Mr. Meier was drafted Into this campaign. His business associate and intimate personal friend for 35 years, the late Senator George W. Joseph, won the republican nomin ation for governor of Oregon on a platform of defiance to the power interests throttling state develop ment. When he died before attain ing the honors the state was about to confer upon him before he had his opportunity to carry out the pol icies for which he had made an up hill fight for many years, the people of Oregon looked for a man to take up the fallen standard. The repub lican state central committee scrap ped the Joseph platform and nom inated their recent chairman. The supporters of Mr. Joseph were forc ed to look elsewhere for a man to carry on his principles. They found that man In Julius L. Meier. The state which had been kind to him, in which he built up a personal success, the people of that state whose cooperation had con tributed to his outstanding record, were in need of a man of courage and independence. His closest friend for many years was gone but his work was unfinished. Julius Meier believed he owed a service to Oregon its people and their late champion. He agreed to rum The issues have been clearly de fined. Of primary importance is the need for federal, state and mu nicipal development of water power that cheap power may be made available for domestic and indus trial use. This program of Mr. Meier's is being fought by lavish expenditure of funds for propagan da by the power interests. There are many other principles tor wmcn ne stands but in the fore front is his pledge of strict economy in public expenditures and a busi ness government with efficiency the sole criterion for employment of public servants. Only a real bus iness man such as Mr. Meier can make such a pledge and live up to it It is more than words with him. The emoluments of the office mean nothing to Mr. Meier. He is in the race solely from a desire to serve the people of Oregon and to carry out the principles of his lifelong friend. The people of Oregon have offered to them in the candidacy of Julius L. Meier an opportunity to obtain as general manager of the state's business one of its outstanding bus iness leaders. It is a most unusual offer and places in their hands the possibility of bringing into public service the same high degree of honesty, courage and efficiency which makes for success In private life. The future of Oregon depends on the voice of the electorate No vember 4. (Paid Advertisement Meier-for-Governor Committee.) FARM POINTERS. Nearly $300,000,000 worth of barn yard manure is wasted annually in the United States, according to re ports to Oregon Experiment station. Although the Oregon Experiment station knows of nothing to indi cate that molded clover hay of the red, alsike or crimson varieties is injurious to livestock, it suggests that farmers who suspect such hay may try it out on rabbits before feeding it to the dairy herd. The rabbits will react the same as cattle with less monetary loss. Spoiled or molded sweet clover has in some cases been known to Cause a spe cific cattle disease known as sweet clover poisoning. When exposed to leaching in hu mid sections, barnyard manure loses as much as one-third to one half the total plant food content in six months. In this period of low prevailing prices for wool and mutton the wise flock owners are attempting to in crease income and lower overhead by rigid cullings, endeavoring to raise more and better lambs from fewer ewes, rather than by using cheaper rams and neglecting such important items as proper flushing of -ewes before breeding, says the Oregon Experiment station. Due to the fact that they have less capacity both in stomach and intestines than most farm animals, pigs require a greater proportion of concentrated foods for fattening. They are unable to consume enough of the bulky feeds those contain ing large quantities of fiber or wa ter to provide even sufficient nu trients for growth, says the Oregon Experiment station.

People in this community were interested to hear of the marriage of Miss Mildred Schmidt to Walter Wigglesworth Sunday at Walla Wal la.

Smith, county agent, was a visitor at the Alpine schoolhouse Thursday from his home In Hepp ner, trying to organize clubs in the schools.

Miss Mary McDaid and Bill Mc Daid made at short visit In Port land Sunday. Mary will remain there for a while. The community was very much October 2, 1930. HOWDY FOLKS Neil Shuirman, the new physical instructor, is tell ing the story about the old maid who had a birthday party and when the candles were lit six guests faint ed with the heat. And then Ed Gonty says it is his theory, born of an observation spread over a number of years, that a man who is always on his toes is seldom out at the heel. All W. Tread sez, "When you hear a girl say that all men are alike, you can bet she isn't in tending it for a compliment." THEY'RE ALL ALIKE. A STATE MENT NEVER MADE BY GOOD YEAR TIRE USERS. THE REA SON? GOODYEARS ARE FAR AND AWAY THE BEST BUY FOR THE MONEY. There is only one sure way to keep the book agent from your door burn down the house. Then there was the Scotch physician who charged his best girl two dollars a visit Which further reminds us of the absent minded professor who ac tually discovered what makes the absent minded professor absent minded, and then forgot the answer. At the age of forty, men in variably decide to begin saving next month. And a woman is always shy in telling her age anywhere from ten to forty years shy. Columbus was no doubt proud of the fact that he discovered America, but just think how the poor fellow would feel, if he could come back now, and see what we've done to it Right now is the proper time to have the car greased. A thorough greasing now forces out all the sum mer accumulation of dust before the fall rains cause it to turn to mud and nothing clogs up the steering gear, brake rods, etc., like caked mud. Our high pressure greasing equipment is the best that money can buy and you may be sure the job will be expertly done if you bring it to us. AIN'T JT THE TRUTH? As soon as the day begins to dawn, The meadow lark starts singing; As soon as the evening comes, a star, The angel's lamp starts swinging; As soon as I am in the tub The telephone starts ringing. My idea of a swell husband, says Mary, is the fellow who will take his wife to a football game and answer all her ques tions without getting sore. THE ANSWER TO THE QUES TION OF WHAT KIND OF TIRES SHOULD I USE, IS SIMPLY THIS USE GOODYEARS. Statistics show that one fourth of the United States is covered with forests, and the rest covered with mortgages. We had another Ktory to tell you but we forgot what it was so may be next time.
