ELMA GETS THE
COUNTY FAIR
Public Spirited Citizens Agree
to Get 20-Year Lease
on Site
WANT COUNTY SUPPORT
Harbor Cities Will Blu Urged
to Give Support to
Project

At meeting of the stockholders
of the Chehalis County Fair associa-
tion, held at Elma, Saturday, that
city was selected as the permanent
home of the Chehalis county fair, and
the expositions will be held there in
the future. The meeting was live
ly one, and although every effort was
made to show the Elma people that
the harbor would be pleased to have
the show another year, but the pub
lie spirit manifested by the people
of that community was too great to
deny them the fair
The citizens of Elma agreed to Sc
cure a 20-year lease on tract of
land, to build race track and fence
the grounds. The Chehalis county
Fair association then will erect the
necessary buildings and grandstand.
While the association had eXpend.
ed great deal of money in erect
ing buildings at the local park, which
were to have been used next year.
Manager Zimmerman of the Electric
company told the board that the
grounds would soon become too valu-
BILE to be used for fair purposes and
that it would be necessary for them
to secure another location.
The best of harmony prevailed at
the meeting and when the location
was finally decided on it was agreed
that all should get to work and pull
for the purpose of making the second
annual county fair success. Situat.
ed right in the heart of the Chehalis
valley, Elma is the logical place for
the fair, from an agricultural stand.
point. At this time the population is
none too large, but with an undivid-
ed support from the harbor cities,
there is no reason why Elma should
not make the fair great success.
Its merchants are enterprising and
the quick way in which they raised
$4,000 as a bonus for the fair, devel-
poes the fact that they are in the
game to the finish and will carry out
their part.

CONTRACT FOR
CITY PRINTING
Cosmop0lis Awards Alb
erdeen Paper, Court
Injunction Issues

An injunction preventing the town
council of Cosmopolis from
awarding to the Quick Print company
of Aberdeen, the contract for the city
printing, was issued in the Superior
court Saturday, the injunction being
secured by A. j. Harder, owner of the
Cosmopolis Cosmopolitan. The writ
is returnable next Thursday.
At recent meeting of the council
Harder presented bid for the city
printing, which was accepted and sew.
eral ordinances given him to print.
Later the council asked the Quick
Print company to bid and rescinded
its action allowing Harder the con.
tract, and awarded the printing to the
Grays Harbor Post of Aberdeen. This
was done for spite work, says Harder,
but the councilmen take the stand
that it was necessary for them to ad-
vertise for bids outside of the Co.'S
mopolis papers. and they sought to
give it all to the Aberdeen paper.
The law in the case says that the
printing must be done by paper in
the city, or one printed outside with
general circulation in the city" The
point which the courts will be asked
to decide is. whether the council can
award the contract to a paper printed
outside it's limits when there is one
in its city. The matter of price is
not to figure in the case as the law
specifically says that no bid shall be
more than IS cents per inch.
The whole acair is the result of
politics in Cosmopolis. assert those
who are in position to know.

SWEET SUMNER SCENTS

Gather We roses while we may"
and store the precious odor for flu
ture use. 1t is very fascinating to
make your own perfume and extract
1t from the blooms you have tended
in your garden.
There is a very simple process by
which this may be done. Select the
flower of you choice and strip the
blossoms from the stalk, or, if roses,
pull off the petals. Gather on a dry
day, n don't wait till the flowers
are half over. Choose them when
at their best, and their odor will be
stronger.
Have a jar three parts full with
olive oil. fill up with flowers, tie down
with paper, and leave it for twenty
fou hours. Then take a coarse cloth
and spread it over the basin. Turn
the contents of the jar into this and
thoroughly squeeze all the oil away
from the flowers, and return to thhe
Jar.
Cast away the used blossoms, and
with newly gathered flowers repeat
the process at least three or four
times till the strength required has
been obtained.
When the oil is thus perfumed it
is mixed in equal quantities with
pure rectified spirit. and Will require
to be shaken every day for a fort
night. After this 1t can be bottled,
and II the oil is inclined to rise to
the surface in the bottle, shake we'll

With a band of pearl beads about
your head. long p-erl eardrops and
two or three strands of pearl beads
about your neck you can wear a very
simple evening dress of either black
or white, and yet present an indi-
vidual appearance that will make the
girl with diamonds look vulgar.
There is nothing which makes the
flesh look prettier than pearls, and as
there are no precious stones that are
initiated with better effect, almost
any girl IA show off her fair skin
with a string of pearl beads.
During Queen Victoria's reign these
beautiful gems We're not in fashion,
as Victoria was superstitious about
them. She called them frozen tears
and declared they brought bad luck.
Few women would refuse a string
of them today on that score, as they
are the most expensive as well as the
most fashionable aof any precious
stone.

The girl in the picture has added to

by using a band of pearl beads laced
together at the side with strands of

than the old knot we used to desig-

OF course, you have noticed that we
have been cutting our front hair
