The Community Fair is a thing of
the past but will be remembered
with pleasure. Although just a com
munity affair the project was well
represented and shows what may be
accomplished in such a short time
when one has the soil, water and
climate that we have. The children
of the school clubs exhibited sewing,
poultry, livestock and vegetables.
The best adult exhibit was made by

He is what we term a good citizen

sufferer from diabetis for a long
time. She was laid to rest in Mt.
Scott Cemetery near Portland.

Oregon, formerly a popular teacher
in Boardman, has been here several
days this week, renewing old ac

PLEASING PROFITS
Every fanner is in business for profit. He
is interested in anything that will increase his
profit. He knows the importance of good seed
and well bred stock. He has been talking
about it for years.
Thought and a little investment pay big
dividends in buildings as in stock and seed.
When good farm buildings will pay for
themselves in the saving of grain, stock, feed
and machinery in one season—surely they can
be called a good investment.

bills of material free to customers.
