ITO the public and all those who
assisted in the District Fair which
has Just closed, and particularly to
the ladies who were so self-sacrific-
ing and efficient in making the ex-
hibits unusually attractive, l desire
to extend heartfelt thanks, trusting
a reward may come for their fidelity
and labor.
There have been a good many
comments relative to the closing OF
the fair on Saturday and allowing
the exhibits to be removed in the af-
ternoon. Believing that most people
who are inclined to criticise this ac-
ton have not considered the detailed
cause, | will state that it should be
remembered that usually, in holding
fairs, the first day is largely taken
up in arranging exhibits so that only
the latter half of the day can be
opened to spectators, and the last
half of the last day necessarily is the
breaking up day, and that ticket sell
ing stops as soon as exhibits are
broken into. The fair management
had hard work to keep exhibitors
from taking out some of the exhibits
on Friday evening and Saturday
morning, but did so by insisting that
until the fair closed they should not
remove the exhibits.
1T was foreseen that exhibitors
from neighboring places as far away
as Grants Pass would be forced to
remain over. as long as Monday If
the fair was kept open and exhibits
kept in place until Saturday night.
Draymen would not be available on
Sunday, and, moreover, some people
would prefer not to take part in the
cleaning out the exhibits on Sunday
This would necessitate breaking into
the next week following the fair. In
addition to this, past experiences
have proven that the Saturday after
noon and evening attendance would
not pay the expenses. In this case
under our contract, we would hav'
had to pay additional rental and ex
penses. Conceding, however, tina
the fair might have netted a prof
of $25, which is doubtful, over an,
4 above the cost of music, rental an'
+ hired help, it would hardly be con
sidered reasonable to ask all tn
tired people who had been at worl
gratuitously during the week, to con
tinue over Sunday for the sake O
accommodating a few late conner
and the bringing to the association
a very small profit.
n Il trust that those who have bee

the utterly bad were cast as rub
Dish to the void.
No scheming promoter or "Not
sufficient funds" man had ever
put it over" on Jarnigan. He
had the record of the bank for
sizing up borrower just right,
and shutting him off dead short
at the first hint of shrinking de-
posts or insipid collateral. Two
or three cases in. this category had
passed the shrewd cynosure of
the efficient cashier that day. Jar
nigan had been congratulated for
discovering a defect in a bond is
sue the institution had come very
near handling. He felt pretty
good, and rubbed his hands TO-
gether with a pleased sense of be-
ing a strict follower of banking
ethics, with no sentiment stand
ing between his good judgment
and the best interests of the bank.
A bank book was passed across
the counter slab and directly I'M
der his eyes. Usually chary of
glances or greetings that took
time, and therefore cost money,
as was his wont, Jarnigan was
about to give the case the atten-
ton it might require, when he no
ticed that a shapely gl0ved hand
had pushed the book over to him.
The bank man looked up sharp

Americas corn yield of $500, 900. 900
bushels this year is great, perhaps su-
p~erabundant, but man cannot live by
corn alone, and the prices of foods
mount higher and higher. Perhaps a
solution Of the ever present cost of liv-
ing problem will be found in the efforts
OF the bureau to introduce new and
hardy sources Of food supply of high
yield. Already the bureau has brought
nto America, in its fifteen years of
existence, many varieties of vegetables
and fruits which are finding favor.

With the decline in commercial prop
