BXA9 TŒ5 WAJH AM ¡a A ffo 'h and G ood A tte n d “Something to interest everyone.” The above is the motto that has been followed by the board of direct ors of the Hermiston Dairy and Hog show in preparing the program for the 14th annual show which will be held here Friday and Saturday, Oc tober 8 and 9. The prize list offered for products of the farm and home this year am ounts to $1,200, and indications are that there will be competition in every class, directors of the show said. The showing of dairy cattle is expected to be, the bigy est in the his tory of the show. Breeders who have heretofore remained out of the ring with their stock, have in many cases expressed a determination to com pete this year. Holsteins nre expect ed to be out in force for this year’s show. The black and whites will have the same prizes to compete for •that are offered in the Jersey classes. Prizes will also be offered for sheep, hogs and chickens. Farm pro ducts will be displayed for prizes, and sewing and cooking work will have special attention where liberal offerings have been made for prizes. More .attention has been paid this year than ever before to nmusement features with the result that a num ber of attractions have been secured. Savage’s shooting exhibition will be here for both days of the show. Mr. Savage was for years on the stage and is a trick and fancy shot with a big reputation. , George Cortello’s acrobatic and dog show will also be here. A. W. Agnew, member of the board of directors of the show, saw the Cor tello show a few weeks a.fo when a search for entertainment features was being made, and lie enthusiasti cally recomemnded the offering to the board. Mr. Cortello is clever as an acrobat, and his string of dogs is reputed to be able' to do about every thing but talk. Little Rosella Matott, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Matott, will be on the! program in her acrobatic dancing number. She has danced for several big shows and celebrations in Ore gon thia year and has proved a sen sation wherever she appeared. On Saturday afternoon football lovers will have a chance to see a tough game when the Pendleton team will invade the local field for a con test with the Hermiston high aggre gation. Coach Higbee is pounding his team on the back every afternoon to get the team in the best of con dition for the fray. The American Legion will give dances on both Friday and Saturday nights.

A new linotype to serve the needs of the Hermiston Herald in compo sition work was purchased last Fri day from the Mergenthaler Linotype company. The machine is what is known in the trade as a model 5 and will be equipped with two maga zines so that the variety of type faces used in machine composition will be twice that available with the old machine that has been in use in the shop for a number of years. Delivery and installation of the machine from the San Francisco branch of the Mergenthaler company is expected to be made about October 10. After the new machine arrives the use of hand set type in which the news columns have been set during the past few weeks will be dispensed with and all composition will be done by machine. Due to the fact that news has been printed in hand set type in greater part recently, it has been impossible to print as much lo cal news as has been given subscrib ers in recent months, but as soon as the new linotype arrives and is set up it will be possible to increase the volume of local news.
