On Friday evening, February 14th,
Theobaldi, the great Norwegian vio-
linist, accompanied by pianist and
singer, gave their entertainment at
the court house. We believe for a
classical entertainment that this one
is the best that has ever been given
in this city. Theobaldi is musician
OF rare talent, he has played in Eu-
rope and other noted places and we
heard many people say that they were
exceedingly glad that the entertain
ment course were fortunate enough
TO secure this company, as these en-
tertainments are not usually heard
outside of large places. Theobaldi
entertained his audience with a great
variety of selections all of which
were classical and showed the great
skill and talent of the musician, he
was wonderful and the people enjoy
ed him immensely. His selections on
the zystrum. an instrument not play
self, were very sweet and musical and
were of much interest as well as
pleasure to his hearers. Miss Keller
the pianist of this company was with
out doubt the best that has ever been
in Wa-Keeney. Her touch, technique
and Interpretation is wonderful. She
il a pianist out of the ordinary and
the extremely difficult music which
she played with such ease and skill
was much appreciated by the audi
ence- Miss Henry, the singer possessed
beautiful soprano voice which was
rich and strong and her singing was
enjoyed.by all. The Theobaldi Con
cert Company is all they claim for it
through the press, and just now Wa
-keeney is congratulating herself that
| our people through the medium OF
the Lyceum Bureau are able to be
brought into touch with such high
grade musical talent as visited eul

Egyptian Justice.

In ancient Egypt all court business
was carried on In writing, in order
that the decision might not be In
fuenced by oratory or personal ap'
peal. The laws lay before the judges
upon table, and the accuser declared
In writing how he had been injured
whereupon the defendant stated in
writing what he had to say. Then
came a rejoinder from each party to
the case after which the judges de-
liberated among themselves until they
had hit upon the proper legal penalty
for the party who had in the mean
time been adjudged guilty. This point
being reached the president OF the

WORLD OWES DEBT TO WOMAN
Fostering Of Agriculture Has Been
From the Beginning Of Tine in
Female Hands.

Agriculture today depends chiefly
upon the work OF the primeval woman.
We are Indebted to the nomad's wife
for the greatest of all economic serv-
ices. She tanned the young Of thu
more tamable animals, gave them to
her savage husband, and made Of him
the more civil herdsman who for
ages followed his tlocks after the man
ner Of Jacob and Lot and Job. This
fertile wife Of the nomad became the
wife of farmers, and she made farmer
of her son by placing in his hand the
precious seed of the grains, the pres,
ent basis of agriculture, the bread of
man. and the concentrated food Of all
our domestic animals.
Where did this ancient mother gst
these precious seeds? In many cases
we do not know. and cannot even
guess. She found some plant with
one or two rich seeds, planted them,
and then generation after generation
her descendants picked over their lit,
tie grain patches. selecting seeds to
be previously preserved from the har
vest festival to the next spring
planting festival. which we now call
Easter. By this process running On
through unknown generations OF men.
the plants became so changed by .hs
artificial application Of Darwtn's law
of selection that now no botanist darea
suggest what plant or plants were the
wild forebears Of some OF the present
grains from which the world today OBJ
tains its bread.
We are indebted to this cave Or
tent dwelling woman. But shall wa
accept her work as final? Can science
do no better than follow along tbs
path she laid out? The fact that az
ricultural science Is today doing lit
tie more than this ts one OF the pa
thetic illustrations Of the smallness OF
our view.-Prof J. Russell Smith. IN

MORROW COUNTY WILL
HOLD ITS FIRST FAIR
Financial Campaign Very
Satisfactory; Portland
Band to Play.
From Sundays Journal.

Morrow county is progressing so
rapidly ia it's financial campaign for
its first district fair to be held Sep
tember 25 to 27 that the residents are
wondering why they did not take up
the idea before.
Portland will furnish a band and an
airship will fit through the skies
daily. Prizes for exhibits have been
literally offered and farmers from all
over the district are preparing to send
their best prducts.
The fair will be a celebration IS
we'll as an exhibition. Morrow
county is out of debt for the first time
and the city of Heppner, the county
seat where the fair will be held, has
surplus in its municipal treasury.
With a smaller total acreage this
year than last the modern dry farm
ing and intensive methods have pro-
duced a most satisfactory crop The
second crop of alfalfa was heavy and
the third corp promises to be better
than usual. The increasing number
of automobiles in the county has
caused agitation for better roads and
the fair board will have a special de-
partment for the road movement 1t
is expected that All expert will be
sent to the county next season and
that extensive appropriations for road
Improvement will be ma le
One OF the new features of Morrow
county agriculture to find q place at
the fair will be the dairying industry
More COWS, mostly of the Jersey breed
are being imported and it is believed
that large cooperative creamery will
be established at Heppner next year
The county is entitled to $667 so
from the state for the fair fund and
the county has appropriated $83S 40.
The city of Heppnel has given $500
and the business men and others from
Heppner, lone, LexinR ton, HaEdman
and the small towns near bv have
added extensively to the total.
The erection of a pavilion. grand
stand and race track is planned by
the fair board as one of the improve
ments to be added to the fair equip
ment. The Portland Commercial
club is offering what aid it eau to the
project and adviues received at the
club indicate large attendance and
wide variety of exhibits.

To The Boys And Girls.

The earlier school fairs are already
being held and at the end of another
month most of them will be matter
OF history. Every one connected with
the work is anxious that that history
read satisfactorily. This is about the
last opportunity we shall have to call
your attention to your exhibits for
most of your work has arleady been
done.
Just few words about exhibiting.
As we have often said. the intrinsic
value OF the prize you are competing
for is Of little Importance compared
with the habits of industry you are
forming. and the experience you are
gaining in learning how to do some
practical thing well. If you borrow
something to show or take smething
to the fair you have not raised or
made, you will fail to get the value
out Of it that you should. Now, do
not understand me to say that you
ehouIu NV ShAC al hJthluR W thO AoiA
that is not entirely the product of your
own effort. Some of the fairs,
especially those that we're arranged
for late in the season. do not require
yon TO do all the work. Where this
is the case | would urge you to take
everything you can under the rules
that will make good showing. Take
pride in assisting To make your fair a
success. But where the rule is that
you do all the work yourself, as they
do at the State fair, do not tly to
evade them. We might deceive evrey-
one but ourselves. but a clean con-
science is worth everything If we
never do the first little dishonest trick,
we will avoid lot of trouble in this
life. This is on the same principle
as never taking the first drink to
avoid being a drunkard. 1t is a safe
rule.
Do not overlook the county and
district prizes at the State fair. 1t
is fine thing to cultivate local pride
and patriotism. Team work aids in
developing this spirit so join with
your fellows and do your part to help
Your district and your county to have
the banner exhibits. Co-operaton is
becoming more essential every dav
and you can not begin too early in life
to practice it.
Wishing you all suot es. and hoping
to meet a great many of you at the
Fair, l remain,
Yours for better boys and girls,
n O. MARIS.
