UregoD Subscription Rates: One Year, (¿.00; Six Months, 91 00 VIEWS OF THE FAIR In line with its policy of giving its Traders the pros and cons of the 1925 fair question The Herald printed lust week an editorial from the Madras Pioneer which supports the exposi tion. This week we print an article on the other side from our Umatiila county contemporary the Athena Press, which represents what is un doubtedly the prevailing sentiment in this county at the present time. What the fate of he fair will be is btlll a question. The indications are that if it gets before the people this year Its boosters will have to use the initiative. And unless economic conditions improve the people are not going to be willing to saddle upon themselves anther tax. Yet the fair idea has a lot of merit und we believe it will win out. But Portland will have to pay more of the costs. A moHt excellent newspaper was the Oregonian of Monday, Junuary 2. It was the annual New Year’s edition and it maintained the high stand ard set in other years. If there wa.- nnything lacking It was that the so called "back country,” which needs the advertising most got least—as usual. We reprint an article from the Prineville Central Oregonian on the business men's Tuesday noon lunch in that city. Their custom is simil ar to the one prevailing among the ! commercial ciub members here. Every live town needs an active com mercial club and the noon meeting serves the purpose , admirably. A , good new years resolution for every man in Hermiston would be (and its not to late to begin) to be present every Tuesday at the commercial club meetings. • Speaking of the new year did you notice the big crimp the resolutions didn’t put in the cigar industry? Did you write it 1922 the first time? ADVERTISING NEWS Billings (Mont.) Gazette It is a safe venture that 80 per cent of the readers of news read the adver tisements also sbeerly because of the general interest to be found in them. There is news value in a well-written advertisement, which is a thought for the consideration of those who' think on advertising contract Is something of a speculation, or who are careless in the preparation of their ‘‘copy.” An attractive advertisement com- bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb asaann b s a b b b M b b b b b b b b i Yoil’ll Save Money — —— by — Remodeling Now a ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ You who have been waiting for lower prices before you laid that hardwood floor, renewed those old walls and ceilings, re-roofed the house or barn, or built the garage—this message is directed to you. Do you know that lumber and building material prices are down 50 per cent? Do you know that you can repair or re model cheaper than at any time in the past ifve years? Do you realize that every day you wait not only inconveniences you but cost you real money? Building material prices may come down more—we think not—but every day you delay in getting the new garage deprives you of the use of it, and causes you to pay out money for garage rent. Every day you delay roofing the barn and the home, makes your property more liable to damage from storm. Every day you put off in side repairs the trouble increases and the total expense becomes greater. Do your repairing and remodeling at the present bargain prices and get the benefit now. Come in today and let us figure your job. Begin getting the benefit now. BAPTIST NOTICES R. V. Ashmun minister. Residence midst of an interesting news item, first house east of library. Phone 31.
