the Fair at the head of Main street
has been going merrily on this week
and a goodly force of laborers are
now getting everything down that
way in ship shape, making wonder
full change in the appearance of the
lots and doing away with lot Of
rubbish. The grounds will certain
ly be very appropriate for the accom-
mediation of the fair. The feed lot
for the use of the public at large has
heen transferred, as it were, to the
Matlock lots on Chase street and
hitching racks established there.
The lumber used in the pavilion
and for other purposes last year is
being hauled onto the new grounds
and sorted over to get all out of 1t
that can be utilized In the new build
ings and from now on the work Of
getting ready for the fair will be
pushed so that all things will he
ready at opening time.
In this connection it is not amiss
to call attention of our people to the
matter of exhibits. Are you getting
ready for your part in this fair? Are
you going to be there with something
worthwhile to show your neighbor
what you can do? 1t is not too early
to be preparing the samples Of grain,
grasses, vegetables, fruits, ETC., and
getting the horses, colts, cows, calves,
sheep, pigs and chickens in shape for
the show. There is promise of big
showing all along these lines and
your exhibits can be properly cared
for. This fair is an educational prop
osition; 1t is to be contest where
the farmer, the stockraiser and the
artisan can exhibit the fruits of their
labors that their neighbor may be
benefited by the comparisons offer
ed. So don't stand back with the
thought that you do not have any
thing worth while to exhibit, for you
have If you will get it ready. The
Morrow County Fair this Fall is to
be Bigger and Better"
Furthermore, the best of our eX-
hibits at the home fair are to be TAX
en- to Salem for exhibition at the
State Fair. All arrangements are
completed to have this carried out.
And this is not all. Space has been
reserved at the Manufacturers and
Land Products Show to be held at
the Armory in Portland from October
26 to November IA. A space 10 Is
is selected for this purpose and the
exhibits will have prominent place
there. After this, comes the Chicago
Land Show and the exhibits are to
so there along with the best from
every part of the state. Care Is to
be taken all down the line in the
selection of the show stuff and the
advertising value to our county can
scarcely be estimated.
Attention of those who contem-
plate showing cattle at the fair is
called to the fact that they must have
their stock pass the examination of
the vetrinary and obtain his certifi-
cate to the effect that the exhibits
are free from tuberculosis. This is
absolutely required by state law and
the Fair Board are compelled to act
accordingly. Last year this examin-
alton was made free Of charge by
the Office Of the State Vetrinary but
whether it will be the case this year
we cannot say.
Special features for the entertain
ment of the fair visitors are being
arranged for and should be announ-
ced in very short time. The pre-
MUM books are on the press and will
be ready for mailing out within few
days.
