DATE FOR THE
SCHOOL FAIR SET

The date for the school fair of this
county has been set for Saturday. Sept.
IL. Members of the committee are re-
ceiving queries from the children of
the county as to the work and an active
interest is being displayed.
The following communication, sup
aementing that of last week, has been
received from N. G. Mars, field work
er for the industrial fairs:
Last week ! reminded you of the
near approach of the state fair and
your home fair. hope you have got
ten busy with your gardens, your bird
houses, your tables, your poultry, your
sewing, your baking, etc. If you do
not have copy of the state fair prize
list, call on your county school superin-
tendent, or write to State Superintend-
ent j. A. Churchill. Salem, Ore, and
he will send you one. Read the prize
list through carefully and see what you
can do best, if you have not already
done so, and select the classes you are
going to compete in. Do not overlook
the special prizes in the back part of
the book. You will find some very at
tractive prizes among them, including
the Shetland pony for the best live
stock exhibit; a cream separator for
the best two pounds of butter: Scotch
collies for the best fat lamb an incu-
bator for the largest and best poultry
exhibit, ETC., etc.
If you are going to enter the pig
feeding contest it is time you had your
pigs on full feed. There are two valu-
able prizes offered in the pig feeding
contest, and the boys who enter this
contest will gain valuable experience,
besides making good money out of their
pigs. With pigs selling at $40 hun
dred, you are almost in Rockefeller's
class, If you own two or three pigs.
There are three nice prizes for the
best SOW and litter of pigs, the first
being hundred dollar Jersey calf. We
hope to see large exhibit of pigs and
poultry at the state fair this year, as
wei as at the local fairs. In keeping
account Of your pig feeding, and fur
nishing statement of the same. as
required in the rules, you will get an
idea of keeping accounts, and of what
1t costs to produce a pound of pork.
This is all worth while. The pig con-
test is open to girls as we'll as to boys
so look out. boys, for some girls are
good pig feeders. At some of the local
school fairs in Oregon last year the
girls beat the boys with their pigs. 1t
was ''tit for tat" though, for the boys
sometimes won over the girls with
their bread, butter and jelly.
Oregon boys and girls led every state
in the Union with their school fairs
last year, and we are expecting them
to keep up their record this year. |
am sure you are too patriotic to dissp-
point US.

O.-W. R. & N. READY
FOR BIG BUSINESS

One thousand new freight cars or
dered by the O.-W. r. & N. Co.. in an
ticipation of heavy demand for cars
to move the large crops this fall, are
now being turned out by the car build
ers and are arriving at the various re-
serve stations of that company in Ore
gon and Washington at the rate of 50
cars day. The delivery began on
August and the entire 1000 cars will
probably be ready for use before the
harvest.
with this order of 1000 new cars, "
says F. W. Robinson, assistant traffic
manager, ''and an additional 1000 Just
delivered to the Union Pacific, we are
confident that we will have plenty of
rolling stock for all emergencies this
year.
"The greatest need for cars in crop
moving time is about the middle of
October. AS delivery of all the new
rolling stock will be made by Septem-
ber J, we expect to be ready for any
contingency.
"The new boxcars are all 40 feet
long and of 100000 pounds capacity.
This is the standard size adopted by
the company.
"The Pacific Fruit Express has also
ordered 1000 additional refrigerator
cars, which will bring its total number
to 1900. This will greatly facilitate
the moving of the fruit crop.
At present the 0.-W. R. & N. Co. is
arranging for the parking of freight
cars at points where they will be
quickly available after the harvest.
A most favorable omen in connection
with the important problem of car sup
ply is the better understanding that
now prevails among shippers in gen.
eral in the matter of capacity loading
and reduction to minimum of lost time
in loading and unloading.
70 bring this about most persistent
and far reaching propaganda has been
conducted throughout the year. not
only by railroad traffic departments in
the way of direct instructions to
agents, but by traffic bureaus in all
large commercial centers, and by the
Bureau of Railway Economics at the
national capital, till it is fairly safe to
say that every shipper and agent in
the land is alive to its Importance. 1t
is believed that the indifference and
thoughtlessness of past seasons will be
supplanted this year and in future
by hearty cooperation, and that car
shortage, except on extraordinary oc-
casions, will be largely obviated.

new DEVICES SAVE
WORK FOR WOMEN

Efficiency, and its kindred phrase,
scientific management, come readily
enough to the tongue of every we'll in
formed person nowadays. Those early
experiments of efficiency engineers
which showed how easy it was to elm
mate waste motion in such simple
tasks as piling up pig iron or laying
bricks the right way also suggested
that efficiency methods could be en-
ployed in every form of industry with
great consequent gain in time and la
Dor saving.
So the efficiency idea grew, and was
put into practice here, there and every
where, until it became a common topic
of conversation. Yet, strange to re-
late. although husbands talked business
efficiency over the dinner table with
their wives and guests, the idea that
there could be such a thing as house
hold efficiency never seemed to occur
to anyone, at least for a long time
But there was just as much innate
logic in household as in industrial eff
cheney: some one made a CHARGE allu-
sion to it somewhere, the germ of the
hold efficiency has been put in to prac-
tice i'll so many progressive homes that
well defined principles for doing house
work with the greatest success and
with minimum time and labor are
available for every housewife.
The first step of standardizing house
work is not nearly as difficult as it
seems on the surface. Once a woman
realizes that it is very awkward and
wasteful method to wash dishes with
the drainboard on her right and the
dishes piled on her left, she will have
the drainboard changed to her left and
stack her dishes on the right hand side
where they will be most quickly get
at-able.
Studying kitchen arrangement should
lead to fruitful labor saving in any
home. For standard kitchen arrange
ment means keeping all the cooking
and cleaning utensils in compact space,
each where it is always at the workers s
elbow at the moment it needs to be
used. 1t means, as one household etfi-
cheney expert points out, the arrange
ment of utensils in relative groups,
thoss that are used in preparing the
m eal, together; those that are used in
cleaning up after the meal, together.
1t means having everything at the
proper height for easy reaching, and it
means well lighted surroundings, it
being borne in mind that the central
station in every modern town stands
ready to suggest how every living and
working room can be electrically light
ed so as to afford every possible help
to efficient housework.
The selection of tools that will best
eliminate waste motion is just as i'm
portsnt to the housewife as to any
other worker. 1t is now generally con-
ceded that electric equipment make
the most efficient tools for the mistress
of the home to work with. An expert
has devised tentative list of electric
home appliances in what she considers
to be the order of their efficiency. The
list includes the electric iron, the cleo
trio washing machine. the sewing ma
chine, the electric sweeper, toaster,
grill, coffee percolator, freless cooker
and electric fan.

Qaeer Ernit al CalfaX

A remarkable freak in fruit was
brought to Colafx. Wash, recently and
is attracting a great deal of attention.
The fruit appears to be cherry, but
is not quite the shape or color of a
Bing cherry, which it strongly resem-
bles. Growing on the same limb with
the freak, which is dark red in color,
are green gage plums.
The tree is 80 years old and was
planted by DR.. Lewis, who owned the
ranch nearly 30 years ago. The leaves
are plum leaves and the tree has al
ways borne green gage plums until
this year, when it is covered with the
strange fruit. which has a seed like a
plum. 1t bore prolifically of this
strange fruit, and scattered over the
limb is liberal sprinkling of regular
green gage plums. No one there has
ever seen anything like it nor can ex-
plain the cause of the fruit.

Heat a Menace TO
Lives of Old Folks
Sickness and Misery Result
from Clogged Bowels
in Hot Weather.

People advancing in years should be
very careful OF their health during the
hot months, as heat has very ener-
waiting and weakening effect on them.
One has only to look at the daily list
of fatalities to elderly people reported
by the papers to realize that these are
the hardest months for them to over
come.
The easily dIgested foods should be
eaten, and then only sparingly, and
alcoholic beverages and iced things
should be avoided as much as possible.
Exercise should be taken daily in the
shade. Most important of all in the
maintenance of health and vigor at
this time is to avoid constipation, with
its accompanying headaches and mus
cular and blood congestion. This is ac-
complished by the timely use of a gen.
tie laxative like DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin. 1t is the ideal laxative for
elderly people. as II is mild, tastes
pleasant, and does not grippe. Best OF
all. IL contains valuable tonic proper
ties that build up and strengthen the
system.
Elderly people should avoid strong
physics, cathartics, purgatives, salts,
and pills. as they are a shocks to the
system. In the opinion OF reliable peo-
