There are three kinds of success
for Fair and Festival.

after the result of the enterprise is
known and one says to the other,
Was it a success2" and the friend
replies, 'Oh yes, l suppose so-it
all went off pretty we'll" We all
know that kind of success" spells
failure.
Another kind of success is when
the answer comes "Well, pretty
well, OH the wholesome things
did first rate, but people did not
take much stock in the others, and
there wasn't much interest taken
beforeh and to get ready" That

sort OF success is first cousin to
failure for that kind of game isn't
worth the candle.
The third sort of success is re-
corded in this fashion. well, it
was good all round. The folks were
fairly surprised to see what had
been got together. The stock was
fine, the fruit and vegetables were
just surprising, and, as for the peo-
pie the wonder was where they all
came from. The youngsters had a
fine time, and there were all kinds
of fun with the shows and games.
Which of these three kinds Of
success is to wait on our Lincoln
County Fair and Festival depends
simply and solely on the people Of
the county themselves. Associa-
tions may be got together. Execu-
tive and other committees may do
their very best, sparing neither time
work nor money. Money may be
subscribed, and every paper in Ore
gon may display our advertise
ments. But unless everybody in
Lincoln County takes it up as his
own or her own interest, neither
the pleasure nor the profit to us
all will result. The best kind of
success awaits us when we I'll pull
together and only 50. We all know
what came of it when the feast was
prepared, but as for the guests that
were bidden they all, with one con-
sent, began to make excuse.

A number of Portland boys have
been in camp near Keady's. They
are John Rathjen, Harry, Everett,

C. R. Evens returned Sunday
from trip to Toledo. AS soon as
Dick reached the sandspit a mile
from town the lookout reported
that Evens was coming with fire in
his eye. Those who ventured to
approach learned that Dick had
been "fieeced" while in Toledo and
had not been able to locate his false
teeth which he had carefully placed
on the window sill upon retiring.
He thought they had fallen out of
the window and been carried off by
dog who would probably not know
how to properly feed the teeth.
Dick had been home some time and
the teeth had missed seven meals
when Dicks wife discovered them
in his vest pocket.
A. l.. Finley and wife, of Port
