This board will serve without pay, giving its time and energy to the attention of an enterprise which should receive the whole-hearted support of every project farmer and citizen of Hermiston. Whether such support will be forthcoming will be decided later when the active cooperation of the community is asked for. If past records mean anything, it is safe to predict that this board will not be backed up with any degree of enthusiasm. The fair was carried on for several years by the busi ness men of this city, assisted by the farmers. But the show soon became a burden, and Hermiston business men withdrew, more or less, their support. The past three years the Umatilla Project Fair has been under the lead ership of farmers, and the undertaking, although half heartedly backed by the community, has proved a finan cial success. Reliable information that the business men of Pendle ton are anxious to see this enterprise carried on and event ually developed into a county fair, has been demonstratec by the support coming from that city. W ith support from them, and the interest and support of Hermiston, this can be done. But without the backing of Hermistonians the whole proposition might just as well be thrown over now. It is a useless waste of time and energy to continue the Fair under the present existing attitude of indifference The meeting Saturday will offer the people of this com munity an opoprtunity to decide whether or not they w a n ; to continue the undertaking. If they express willingness to back the fair and the men they elect to the board, then the co-operation of all community interests, and a sub merging of petty differences will make a fair that any community might be proud of. This represents an oppor tunity that can mean only loss to the community if it it disregarded. It is not only a m atter of individual inter est, but of co-operative interests of civic and other organ izations. If the people of Hermiston want the Umatilla Project Fair to continue and prosper now is the time to start, and pledge their support to the new fair board that will be elected Saturday. We might add—when a mule is kick ing he is never pulling.

No, that isn’t Foolish Question Number Umpsteen.” There are nine million homes in America without bathtubs, according to the Statistical Abstract of the United States. Only two houses out of three have them. A few years ago, as time oes, nobody had bathtubs. There was one ip the White louse when Lincoln was president, and when President Cleveland wanted to have a second one put in members or Congress made speeches denouncing the bad example of luxury which the President would set I The first bath tub with fixed plumbing was installed in Cincinnati less than 100 years ago and physicians denounced the habit o f bathing as injurious to health. Times change and luxuries multiply. Today 15 million homes have electric flatirons, 7 million have vacuum cleaners, 5 million have washing machines, nearly three quarters of a million have electric refrigerators.
