The county fair officers and the local business men interested in making the 1913 exhibit, the 59th in the society g history, the biggest thing this part of l the state ever had, are putting in long hours and a great deal of hard, con- certed effort to make the 20th century fair all that it's promoters have prom ised it shall be.

 worth while this year. and the racing committee feel justified. they say, in having raised the purses 25 Der cent, to get faster set ef hefsss thaH the

 For 40 years or more I've been ar ranging vegetables and fruit in the building" said William A. Gallup of the Salem turnpike, and it's seldom that Tve seen a scrimpy show in that part of the fair, though of course we often got more stuff in the old days, when
 the fair didn't open until about the 22d of Septemb Der. We shall have quite a job this year. for 1 understand the

SATURDAY NIGHT
CLOSING TO GET
FRESH IMPETUS
Plan Will Be Boosted In Mass
Meeting Called BY Retail
ers' Bureau
BOUND TO BE GENERALLY
ADOPTED, SAYS HICKEY
Merchants Who Have Ad0ptod
Reform Declare Sales Have
Not Dropped OF

New enthusiasm for the cause OF
Saturday night closing Of the down
town stores will be aroused by q
mass meeting of merchants which
is planned by the retail bureau Of the
Board of Commerce. The movement
for closing the stores Saturday night
was supposed to have ended its ex'
perimental stage Sept. 1, and there
were q few merchants who wanted to
go back to the old system OF Satur-
day night shopping. The leaders
held out against any change. how
ever, and the present month Is con
sidered the critical time. No date
has been set for the mass meeting
but 1t will be soon.
The only stores which are actually
breaking away from the reform are
a few owned by outside capital, par
ticularly shoe stores, which refuse
to sympathize with local movement
Some credit furniture dealers are
also keeping open Saturday nights
but they have been against the move
ment from the beginning.
I'VE are having oWpegular meet
ings OF the retail bureau every Tues
day noon now," said e. j. Hickey
chairman of the committee, land
whenever the subject has been dis.
cussed the merchants have agreed
that their weekly sales have not fallen
OF, a. people are learning not to do
any night shopping. We are going
to begin . new campaign Of adver
tising for the scheme, and will try
to educate people still further II II ID
necessary.
I'VE hope to get people 30 out OF
the habit of Saturday night shopping
that they will not come down town
Saturday night expecting to buy, and
then even the merchants who do keep
open will do no business, and will
come over to the side Of reform"
