has passed into history as
the most successful ever held On
der the auspices of the oranges
Of Gillian and Wheeler counties.
The fair closed Friday evening
with an old-fashioned dance
where jollity reigned supreme as
scores OF dancers tripped the
light fantastic" bidding the big
event farewell.
Proverbial Mayville hospitality
was everywhere in evidence and
the visitors were made to feel
ut home while in the thriving
town.
Splendid exhibits. big horses,
hne fruit, clean sports and happy
crowds-these were the features
Of the county fair.
Fine Exhibits
Congressman Ellis in his ad-
dress complimented the fair
management on their efforts and
the unqualified success of the
enterprise. DIR. Jas. Withycombe
who has attended fairs held in
livery county in the state, praised
the agricultural and livestock ex-
hibits in no uncertain terms.
Such comments mean much tc
those who worked faithfully tc
make the fair success and give
renewed encouragement for the
preparation of future fairs. The
wheat exhibits for a dry year
demonstrated the fecundity Of
the soil of Gillian county anc
the fruit displays were a revel'
alton to those who did not know
that this county can produce fine
fruit. The exhibits in the hal
were not so numerous as last
year but the quality was equal II
every respect. Rock Creek fruit
growers had exceptionally fin,
displays and the high land or
chards of the Ferry Canyon anC
Mayville districts astonished thu
Willamette people who for th'
first time saw the possibilities o.
this section for orcharding.
Next Year--What7
The executive board of tn
fair was pleased at the interes
which Condor citizens showed il
the fair, on both days strong del
egations of Condonites were il
attendance. Thursday, tn
Condor boosters with badge
printed in red, white and blue
were at the fair shouting for th'
good Grangers, and the enter
pfising citizens OF May
vile and boosting for the Whea
City. They were there, thirt.
strong. There were others fror
Condor, too. Some of the Whea
City enthusiasts believe that tn
fair should be held here mex
year as the accommodations fc
visitors would be more adequat
and the fair could be reache
easier from Willamette vale
and eastern Oregon point
because of the railroad. Ground
m and an exhibit pavilion, a hal
monious, pull-together spirit wi
be necessary.

REMEMBER

If you have Eye Troubles you
crn have your eyes tested by a
Graduate Optician entirely free of
charge.
If DIR. Keene says you must
wear glasses, Mr.. Pauling says
they must give entire satisfac-
tion or you get your money back.
If your children are backward
in their school work it may be
caused by some unsuspected af-
fection of the vision, now why
not have their eyes examined
when it costs you absolutely mo-
thing.
In examining children's eyes,
DR.. Keene uses the Ophthalmom-
eter, an instrument which records
the retroactive error without having
to rely upon the Judgment Of the
child at all. This accounts, to
some extent. for DR.. Keene's re-
markable success in fitting child
rem with spectacles.

the SCHOOL ELECTION
Eight Months Of School This Year and Levy
Of 81 on the 500 Valuation

There were two tickets out in tn
school election held last Tuesday
The old members of the board stand
ing for reelection were G. G. Big
ger and l.. T. Rowland. The op
position ticket was E. E. Toothakel
and j. B. Carothers. Toothakel
defeated Rowland by eight votes
and Bigger and Carothers tied. The
proposition for an eight months
school and levy of one dollar on
the $1O0 assessed valuation of the
district carried by good majority.
Mr.. Bigger and Mr., Rowland as
well as the entire board have been
diligent in the discharge of their
duties so far as the management of
the school is concerned and have
built up splendid school, the chief
opposition to the old board being
the secrecy surrounding the finan-
cial affairs of the district. For
years the people have voted and
paid the highest levy the board has
asked for, yet the board has neglect
ed and refused to make financial
statement. There is no charge of
misappropriation of funds, the peo-
pie having the highest regard for
the personnel of the board, yet
the people have a right to know
just what the school is costing them
and for what purpose the funds are
being used. Section 9977 of the
revised statutes of 1899 provides
that a detailed statement of the re
ceipts and expenditures shall be
made and posted or published an
nually before the 18th of July each
year. This years statement will
be due in June and THE BLADE
will gladly publish it free if the
board will prepare it, and thus do
what it can to allay the antagonis-
tic feeling toward the board that
has been growing for several years
and that will ultimately result in
injury to the school.

there is grace that all are stingy

yet it is one with which we ought
to be lavish. Why should you tell
your friend that her bonnet is be-

this to your sister? Why should
you 60 out to tea and praise your
neighbor's mullins, when you have
forgotten to tell mother how good

much you appreciate his wisdom?
You keep your ability to discover

that should look for virtues is clos

wait till some one is gone from you
to tell their virtues. Don't wait
until your sister is far away in an

how pretty, or how courteous she

A good wife is to man wisdom

No condition is hopeless when the

outward prosperity which can
counteract Incidence, folly and ex-
5ravagance at home. No spirit can
long resist bad domestic influence.
His home must be to him place
Of repose, of peace, of cheerfulness,
Of comfort, and his soul renews its
strength and again goes forth with .
