THE OREGON STATE FAIR
(Pendleton Evening Tribune.)

(Pendleton Evening Tribune.)
When Providence is kind ant
favors the willamette Valley with flint
weather during the week of the State
Fair, visitors are always assured 9
high order of entertainment and q
high class of exhibits. No state car
excel Oregon in productions of the soil
None can present finer show animals
The management has always been
broad, liberal and just. Exhibitors fee
assured that they will receive an hon
est vehdict from committees of award
and that every reasonable courtesy will
be accorded them.
The Autumn charm of the western
portion of the state lures many from
the vast interior, and from the south
ern portion of the state, but the mas,
of the vast crowds who visit Salem al
this time, come of course. from Port
land and the valley counties. 1t is q
season of well wishing, harvest OF
festival indeed.
There is no public money more wise
ly appropriated than that which main
tains the annual fair. There is NJ
private money more happily expended
than that which takes the family to al
exhibit such as is being presented al
the capital of the state this week.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

OF finance they are and what
an important factor they will be
in making this country the most
thrifty in the world?
1t is the home economies that
loom up large and in this way one
learns the truth of the saying:
Small things are not small il great
results come OF them"
Thrift, in the home, should have
as its highest exponent, the wife
and mother. Her aim should be
always TO conserve and to improve
living conditions by the strict prac-
ticc OF home economies. She should
study the markets each morning
Just as her husband does. she
should watch the pennies as the
business man watches them in his
transactions: she should keep a
family budget and personally do
her own marketing. She should
learn TO cook and serve the foods
she buys without waste.
What do the little savings care
fully boarded from these small
economies of the housewife amount
TO? a visit to the Probate Court
will give answer more graphically
than any written word. Ii is the

FAMOUS PICTURE DREW BIG
CROWDS TO GREENWOOD

"The Birth of a Nation" the
gigantic perturbation of d. w. Crit
iith's, which filled the bill the past
weekend at the Greenwood Theatre,
was certainly a crowd-bringer for
Greenwood.
All of the matinees and night per-
formances were shown to crowded
houses, the wonderfulness of this
picture having attracted to Green
wood visitors from all over this Sec
ton of the state.
AS a result from these big crowds,
the hotels, restaurants, delicatessen
shops, and merchants enjoyed an ex-
cellent trade from the visitors in the
city those days. The largest crowds
to witness the pictures poured in on
the trains, owing to the inclement
weather.
Greenwood enjoyed their visit, and
is always glad of the pleasure and
honor of entertaining crowds of this
kind, and Manager Schilling of the
Greenwood Theatre is to be com
mended upon his success in bringing
such attractions to the city.

and the immaculate appointments Of this
magnificent home with it's glittering ar
ray of cut glass silver and rare flowers
and ferns. happy laughter and joyous
voices mingled with the soft strains of
the Edison. The family portraits of
past generations seemed to smile on the
pleasant scene. The punch bowl was
presided over by Mrs. Ben Terry and
Mrs. W. S. Marye, two opposite types
of Southern beauty, and admiration
was equally divided between the soft
blue eyes and golden hair of one, and
the flashing orbs and dark locks of the
other. The elder Mrs. Marye, a lady
of the old school, moved among the
guests with characteristic easy grace,
