Demonstration
Train Better
| than Ever.

The second visit of the demon
stra ton train that has been in
auGerated by the Oregon Short
Lile Officials and the Utah and
Idaho Agricultural Colleges was
moke improved than before and
far greater interest was manifest
ed n1 it than heretofore. That
the speople of these sections are
wakening to the value of the
moving exhibitions is clearly de-
moastrated by the excellent show
ing St the station on the arrival
of tSe train into Oakley a short
ting ago.
Ehe only Objectionable feature
that could be offered is the short
tirpe allotted to each place. but
d6ubtless this obstacle will be
overcome as it becomes a perman-
ent thing each year.
S The demonstrations presented
kwere of the kind most convincing
land the lectures given by the
professors in their respective lines
were uncontrovertable and in
many instances several jolts were
handed out to stockmen and
rancherS for the careleSSneSS ex.
hibited on almost every hand in
the methods they employ in hand
ling their farms and stock which
is a source of financial loss each
year when it ought not to be. By
the exercise of little care the
work would not be increased but
systematizedo and the yield and
income doubled many times over
in turn forethought and care.
The very pleasant feeling mani
tested in the suggestions offered
are indicative that they were well
received and no doubt MANY IDEAS
were advanced that will find
Judgement and bear fruit IN I'M
proved methods IN all lines of
diversified farming.
Prof. Ball Of Utah gave a very
strong recommendation of the
benefits to be derived from Beet
raising and we think that it went
far toward the encouragement OF
that industry in this section as
Mr.. Ball is authority on those
subjects.

Speedy Motoring by Four of Oakleys Citizens results

County Fair Associations
versus the Farmer.

If the farmer deriving the bene-
fit from the fairs that should be
due him for his labors?
The primary object of an agric-
ultural fair is to encourage the
farmer, to stimulate him that he
may grow larger, better and more
marketable crops. 1t is the time
when the farmer and his products
should always hold sway. 1t only
happens once year and the farm
er is entitled to at least that much
recognition. The farmer is there
to learn wherein he has mades his
mistakes, and how and where he
can and should rectify them.
RACING FEATURES TOO
PROMINENT. The premium list
originally introduced to attract
the farmer to compensate in part
at least for the time, labor and
money spent in growing, select
ing and preparing his articles for
exhibition have so deter1orated
that at many fairs they have be-
come farce. This is especially
true in the crop department. of
many of the fairs. However, the
racing end of the fairs has had it's
premiums increased until at some
ofthe largerfairs, single premiums
as high as FIVE hundred dollars
have bee listed. This would not
be serious if the farmer had his
premium lists increased in prop
ortion. But instead his premiums
have been decreased in order that
the racing premiums might be en-
larged. AT some of the fairs the
agricultural side has in a meas
ure been practically disregarded.
PREMIUM LISTS NEED RE
VISION. Premium lists have
been Jumped off in punches with
out any regard as to the crops
grown in the community nor the
value OF same to the community.
The same premiums are paid for
freaks and curiosities that have
no commercial value, as are paid
for crops that are widely grown
in the state and recognized all
over the United States as the best
of their kind produced.
The fair associations should
know which crops are most pro-
fitably grown in their respective
communities and then encourage
the commercial production of
that crop by offering larger prem
iums for same.

The Holiday Bazaar
was very successful.

The four days the Bazaar was
held during last week proved
very successful and considerable
interest was manifested it also
showed the many articles that
can be made by home genius.
All kinds of fancy work was
displayed in numerous articles,
beside many useful pieces of wood
work ard other valuables made
by the manual training depart
ment of the Cassia Stake Acad-
emy. The more staple articles
were sold as soon as they were
exhibited and the remainder were
disposed of at public sale on the
night of the dance Friday evening
Many things sold for more than
they were worth while it was off
set by many that were sold for
far less than their actual value.
Several hundred dollars were
netted from this move which will
go to the Improvement and bene-
fit of the School.

Is found by the heroine, Mrs. 'Ypres.
She loses her head over him, and her
heart to him, at once, and the task of
the novelist is to bring success to her
without too much risk to the conven-

personal selfrcspect, and without an
moving the conscience of the captain.
All this is brought about very deftly
and handsomely, and the Captain finds
himself just where be would have been
most happy to be if he could have had
the choice himself. The story is one
of great charm, as this author always
makes her stories, for she is one of the

FROM DAVID GRAHAM PHILLIPS.

The Conflict; Novel. BY David Graham
Phillips. Published by z. Appleton and
Company. New York,
The author of this work, it will be
remembered, was killed in New York
last year. But the publishers, in or
der to remove any erroneous imprcs
sion, state that not only was this work
death, but that this is not the last
book by David Graham Phillips which
is to appear. Mr.. Phillips, as ey-
planned, made il his business 10 do an
enormous amount of literary work ev-
cry day; and his methods were such
that he frequently engaged in writing
several novels at one time, ''resting'
from one piece OF work by turning to
another, II is, therefore. as they claim,
quite reasonable TO believe that Mr..
Phillips sometimes had on hand as
many as six completely finished novels
waiting publication. and that at the
time of his death there were four book
manuscripts ready besides "Thc Grain

short stories, and some uncompleted ma.
