Field Worker of Industrial Fairs.

Two weeks ago the Capital Journal
told its boy and girl readers, especially
in Marion county, about the industrial
fair to be held in the Salem armory
September 20, 1914. Throughout the
state, similar county fairs will be neld.
This year many of the extension course
members will send their exhibitions to
the Oregon state fair, which will be
held September 2S to October 3. Entry
blanks will be sent upon application
to the secretary, Oregon state fair, Sa-
lem, Oregon.
Entries Are ALI Free.
There will be no fee charged at the
state fair for entering exhibits in these
contests. The fair officials will also
give TO each boy or girl who enters an
exhibit a ticket to the state fair, good
for one day. The Southern Pacific, the
Oregon Electric, the United Railways,
and the Astoria Railway will all carry
free of charge the children's exhibits
to and from the fair, provided they are
congregated at one or more points and
shipped in the name of the county
school superintendent, teacher, or other
authorized person.
Scoring high in popularity is the state
fair school camp. This camp is com
posed of the two boys from each county
who have won the greatest number of
points in the projects exhibited by them
in the county contests. The state fair
board has appropriated $500 to cover
the expenses of boys camp during
the state fair. The boys in uniform
and under military discipline will be
the guests of state fair committee,
and nothing will be too good for them
during the fair week of sightseeing.
Among the premiums offered to CON
testants at the Oregon state fair will be
$1,000 in cash prizes, appropriated by
the state fair board to be used for the
juvenile contest, and besides the fine
premiums, from books to porch swings,
offered to the special project contesters
will be-let the children hold their
breath-a trip to the Panama-Pacific
international exhibition at San Francis
co during the summer Of 1915, with all
expenses paid.

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood Il q try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial Of strength, and when 1t Is over
her system has received shock from
which 1t is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
Of caring for the child, and a distinct
change In the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, rost valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

CLOSING OLD BUSINESS
IN THE PATENT OFFICE
Commissioner Directs That Applica-
tions of Five Years Standing
Shall Be Made Special"

In order to dispose of pending busi-
ness, Commissioner of Patents Ewing
has ordered that examiners make spe-
cial every application for a patent
which has been pending for five years
and every application purporting to be
a division Or continuation of an
application which has been on file
more than five years.
After November so, no amendment
or other paper presented by or on be-
half of an applicant in any such appli-
cation shall be entered without having
been called to the attention of the
commissioner
After December /, each examiner
must report to the commissioner the
applications falling under this order
which are pending in his division.
The adoption of this system of clear
ing up the long-pending applications
in the United States patent Office where
a continuous series of amendments
has been filed from time to time will
no doubt tend to close out much old
business in the patent office and clear
the way for a more effective and
speedy contamination of the new and
current work of this branch of the
public service

SAY MANY PUBLIC PARKS
ARE "DlsGRACE TO CITY"
Members of Southeast Washington
Association Criticise Conditions
in Recreation Spaces.

That many of the public spaces IN
the southeast section of the city look
more like commons than parks was
the declaration of W. H. Pyles before
meeting of the Southeast Washington
Citizens Association last night, held
at Donohoe's Hall, 314 Pennsylvania
avenue southeast.
Mr.. Py1es declared that the condition
of many of the parks was disgrace
to the city. He said that in some IN
stances they are used for dumping
grounds. Other members coincided and
suggested that something ought to be
done to make the parks i'll the south
east section of the city more beauti-
full. 1t was decided to call this alleged
neglect to the attention of the super
intendent of public buildings and
grounds or the District Commissioners.
Boy Scouts Make Suggestion.
Secretary L. R. Brooks read a COM
munication from the Boy Scouts of
America in which the association was
asked to appoint a committee of three
to cooperate with the officials of that
organization with view of organizing
a council in the southeast section of
the city.
Some members favored the aiding OF
the boys organization, while others
opposed it. Some of the members de-
clared they did not know anything
about the objects of the Boy Scouts
and desired to be enlightened before
definite action be taken on the sub
ject. At the suggestion of President A.
G. Hermann the association decided
that it would be well to lay the matter
on the table until the next meeting.
President Hermann announced that
the annual meeting would be held next
month, at which time officers would be
elected and committees for the year
named. Mr.. Hermann is also to make
a report of the progress of the associa-
tion the past year.

Keep Smiling

Keep smiling, It's better than
building a fame as kicker or fret
ter who's sore on the game.
There's no sense in winning that
sort OF renown; far better go
grinning all day through the
town; from Office to tavern, as
gay1y you chase, display a glad
cavern dividing your face: all day,
as you teeter from courthouse to
jail, smile sweeter and sweeter,
and utter no wall; and as you're
ascending your wearisome stair,
Your smile should be lending its
warmth to the air. Your troubles
are frightful? Well, wearing a
frown won't make them delightful
or batter them down. Old Trou-
bic keeps piling its thorns on my
head, but still l keep smiling, and
will till I'm dead when I'm in my
casket. all finished my trips, I'll
smile like basket of hickory
chips. Keep smiling, It's wiser,
through all the long year, than
being a niser with chirrups and
cheer. Why is the world dingy
ard dismal and gray? Because
we are stingy with messages gay.
We groan and we grumble, we
whine and we wheeze, and don
take a tumble to facts such as
these. It's every mans duty to
chortle and grin, and thus fill
with beauty the world we are il.
