Tillamook,.Oregon, Friday, May 12 ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ❖ ♦ SALVATION ARMY GUERNSEY FANS IS IT DESERVING? PLANNING FOR CO. EXPOSITION prizes have been increased ON STOCK TO FIVE—NEW AR­ RANGEMENTS ARE MADE ON GROUNDS. BEING The purpose of the Salvation Army can best be -expressed by the motto of the organization: “The world for Christ and Christ for the world,’’ as well as by the charge given by its founder to go for souls and go for the worst. Touched by the awful conditions of the masses Of darkest England, and later of all lands, General Booth believed the salvation of God to be the only pan­ acea for existing conditions. The results accomplished during the intervening years justify the claims of the Army that the solu­ tion of present and social and Indus­ trial evils is to be found in the ap­ plication of the principles advocated by the lowly Nazarene. which is first, loving God, and second, loving your neighbor. The spread and growth of the Sal- uation Army since its inception in 1865 has been nothing short of mir­ aculous. From the lonely figure standing on Miles End waste in Lon­ don, dedicating his life to God and the saving of mankind, it has spread to all the corners of the world. Without previous plans, men and wpnten touched by the same spirit, but moving from England to their parts of the world, continued their work for “OTHERS” thus planting the Army’s flag. It was the Shirley family of London, having settled in the City of Brotherly Love, who started the Salvation Army in the United States, in a deserted chair factory, and who finally induced General Booth to send a small party of his officers to officially open the work on this side of the Atlantic; the start of this work on other con­ tinents was accomplished in similar ways. The Salvation Army operates to­ day in 72 countries, and colonies and preaches the gospel In 42 dif­ ferent languages. It works in 11’- 000 different cities and has more than 18,000 commissioned officers in its ranks. Truly it can be said that the sun never sets on the Sal­ vation Army. It should be borne in mind in con­ sidering the grov^h of the Salvation Army that it was accomplished in the face of much and serious perse­ cution. The privilege enjoyed to­ day by the Salvation Army, of preaching on the street corners of the cities of the world, and doing its great work among the poor and fal­ len was gained only by enduring the hatred of the mob as well as the contempt of the so-called respectable element. It was nothing new in the early days to be covered with mud from head to foot, to be stoned while marching the streets, or having every window of their halls and building smashed by the angry mob. To be stoned while doing good was a new experience, and in some in­ stances, members of the Army gave their lives while trying to help the helpless. To be tn prison and sent to work on the rock pile was en­ joyed by many ot the Salvationists. In spite of all this opposition and persecution the Army was able to advance. What may not the future hold in store in the matter of progress with a generous and sympathetic public to stand by and assist with money and time so much needed. May 18, 19 and 20 have been set aside as donation days to this wor­ thy organization. The Central Com­ mittee of Tillamook County, of which Sheriff Aschim is chairman, requests that every one contribute what they can. The money so con­ tributed will be used only for wfirk in the State of Oregon. A com­ mittee for every district in the county has been appointed, and will call on you. Every one contributing will be given a receipt and button. Give whatever you can. help the Army that helped win the war. The ninth annual Tillamook fair will be held on September 12, 13, 14 anil 15th of this year, one day earlier than the initial date of last year. The management hope to make it the best fair ever held here, and will bend its energies to that end, with the cooperation of the pub­ lic. Much responsibility will rest upon the public, as it will have to furnish the exhibits, and it is hoped that every one will have something in stock, farm products, poultry, culinary or other exhibits. The achool exhibits will also form an important part in the display. An important change this year will be found in the increase of the premiums for stock. Where former­ ly there were three prizes, this year there w'll be five, and the first prize will be increased from $8 to $10; and so on in the same ratio down th' list, the fifth premium being $2. In the awards for young stock the first prize will be $8, and the fifth prize $1. The milking contest has been eli inated for this year, and the i ney will be used to increase other prizes. In the vegetable and horticultural di , , tments, a sweepstake prize of $; will be offered to the person or in ims taking the most premiums in hie departments; this means that if the exhibitor or exhibitors take worth of premiums, and more than other exhibitors, ths win- i.< will get the $25 plus and addi- tt aal to the regular premiums offered, which should be an addi­ tional inducement for good-natured competition. In the textile department a total of $100 will be offered for prizes; $50 for the first prize, $25 for the second, $15 for the third, and $10 f< the fourth. They will be Ju Iged as to display, quantity, qual­ ity, and as to neatness and at i nngement. In the floral department, some of th«' money has been taken from pi. iliums heretofore offered which It. 1 tided flowers not widely grown in this country and this money has been added to premiums represent­ ing flowers of more importance tn the coast section. It has been hinted that Fred C. Baker might take over the matter of th. business men's concessions, and it is believed that such arrange­ ment with him vfould result in a creditable display by the local busi- ness men of their goods and Indus­ trie; The fair will receive added impetus and importance should the business men decide to make a general display, a the one held at the last fair session was a decided attraction. It is understood that there will bo but one main entrance from the road to the fair grounds this year, instead of two. as was the case last year. The new gate will be near the center of the enclosure. The gate for stock, and for the feed trucks will be changed so as to di­ vert al) such trafle through an open field direct to the stock sheds, thus not interfering with the crowds, and lessening the dust clouds. It ; also rumored that a pure bred stock sale will be had at this year on the last day of the fair, but th' ha i not been definitely settled. The fair book is now ready for the Printer, and It is hoped that this year', ’ iks will be available by the MAY OPERATE PLANE AGAIN first if July, as there would then be two month's tn which to study the The big bi-plane owned by Lieut.
