LET US PLAN FOR THE FAIR.

The wise husbandman provides
ahead for the rainy day" The
thrifty farmer plants crops which are
demanded by the world. The pro-
gressve architect originates plans
which will attract customers. The
successful merchant fills his store
with goods which his trade wants and
so on down the line, every industry
which is successful is guided by wise
and masterful foresight.
With the idea of making each sue
ceeding district fair better than its
predecessor, the management of the
fair and the people of Umatilla and
Morrow counties which compose the
district, must also build in advance
for the success of the event. There
must be plans in advance. foresight,
continued agitation. continued inter-
est persistent activity to make the
fairs better.
In fact, it will require herculean
efforts to make each far better than
the preceding for the reason that the
first fair was of such high standard,
but Pendleton has always made good
with every undertaking in which she
has engaged and so the success of the
fair is assured.
But now, in the middle of the win
ter, before any crops are planted, is
the time to begin planning for dis
plays for the next fair. Now is the
time to think of special features,
special exhibits, special attractions
which will add TO the interest of the
fair and show more fully the marvel
Gus resources of the district.
Let us have an aster show during
the fair with a portion of the pavilion
decked with asters of a thousand
hues. This can be done by the wo-
men and children of the district. They
can grow asters enough to cover the
pavilion from end to end without
much effort or expense and what
would be more beautiful than this
feature?
Let us have a wheat float, a great,
display of wheat from the
sprouting seed in the warm earth to
the flour ready for the larder. We
boast Of raising 100000 bushels of
wheat and Yet last year We had but
a handful of wheat samples. Let US
build a wheat palace in the pavilion.
a palace of growing wheat, threshed
wheat and wheat in every imaginable
form to make good our boastsl
People came here from every part
Df the state last year expect ng to see
unique and wonderful in
he way of a wheat exhibit, but wheat!
Why that is so common in Umatilla
county that we overlook it. But the
vorld at large comes here to see
wheat. We must make our wheat ex-
1ibit something attractive, something
of that one predomi-
hating industry in the district.
Now is the time to plan for the
exhibit.
