“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.

of the Hermiston Herald in compo

company. The machine is what is

and will be equipped with two maga

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.
