1t will be seen that the difference
between the Oregon constitution
and thatof our proposed amendment
is as wide as that of the poles. The
former requires the action of a ma.
jority of the people of the whole
state, whereas the latter requires
only a majority of the people of any
county, town or city to make or UNI
make any law, and to change or
abolish the entire constitution so far
as that particular county. town or
city is concerned, or any part there

all, as it may choose Never has
any such government been in force,
or perhaps even been thought of
before in any civilized community.

Such fairs as have been given in
Mena can only come through a work
of self-sacrifice on the part Of many.
The business men of the city have
given, some freely, some le0s freely
and a few not at all. But, when the
days and the crowds came, many Of
these received all back and more
from the immediate business returns.
But those who. after all sacrifice
most, are the men and the women
who leave their business and their
homes and day after day go to the
various departments, without pay,
and do hard physical and mental
work to make everything go right. =
In most part their only reward is in
work well done. To give the names
of these workers here is unnecessary
and if it were tried the hardest
worker might be overlooked. But
when you scan the headings over the
lists of premiums you win recognize
some who have done their part year
after year. and win be willing to do
it again when occasion calls. To
these. as well as the chief officials,
Mena and Polk county owe sincere
thanks.

while it is difficult matter to get the
older pupils to read much. No better
evidence can be had than that. TO
teach child to read and not teach
it what to read is a crime, since the
reading habit must be established in
the lower grades. Teachers, you owe
it to yourselves, to your patrons and
to your pupils to inculcate this habit.
