GLAD TO MEET YOU.

With this issue of The Observer the
undersigned is casting his lot with the
good city of Dallas. We came here
after visiting many other places, be-
cause of the splendid climate this
community enjoys, the promising fu-
tme this valley appears to have, and
because the city of Dallas itself is an
inviting one in which to have home,
not forgetting the fact that we also
wanted to make money, although we
can give you assurance that no coun-
try newspaper man expects to amass
fortune in his line of work.
We expect to continue The Observ-
er, as it has been in the past, news
paper which is in keeping with this
progressive little city. We are inter
ested in the upbuilding of Dallas in
an industrial and commercial way;
we stand for the advancement of the
community in a moral, social and in
tellectual way, and shall endeavor to
make the paper a factor in all civic
and community enterprises which bet
ter these conditions. The Republican
policy of the paper will be sustained.
We are new here and will make mis-
takes, for that is the way of humani-
ty. These, however, will be uninten-
tional and without thought of doing
injustice. No doubt our readers will
overlook some of these errors at least
until our newness wears off. And we
want you to know that our latch
string is always out: we want to meet
you and become better acquainted and
will assure you that all favors extend
ed us will be appreciated and an hon
est effort made to merit your good |
will. H. W. BRUNE.

BOOST THE COUNTY FAIR.

The fall fair season again is AZ
hand in this part of the country,
which is a reminder that our own
county fair is only a few weeks ahead.
Preparations for this annual event
have been under way for weeks AMI
the managers of the fair are working
hard to make this years meet anoth-
er record breaker. They also declare
the prospects for carrying out this
plan are excellent. The fair itself
will be unusually attractive, they say,
while there are encouraging indica-
tions of public interest, augmented
by conditions of good crops and the
fact that this is a political year,
which always adds interest to public
gatherings of this character.
Public aid and cooperation, howev-
er, can do much to add to the success
of the coming county fair, and the
management of the latter relies on
the people of Polk county to do their
part in advertising the fair and there
by help to increase the patronage. All
that is necessary is an occasional re-
minder to friends and acquaintances,
and if this plan is followed everyone
in this section will soon be talking of
the county fair and planning to at
tend it. The date of the fair is Sep
tember 10 to 81. and it therefore is
time to put forth your efforts in max
ing the biggest fair the county ever
held, 1t has always been one of the
best fairs in this part of the state and
deserves the aid and patronage of ev-
cry resident of the county.

Old Age is no Bar to Work.

Mr.. F. A. Patterson of Indepen.
dence is criterion which any man of
his age, and even younger men, might
pattern after with profit. Mr.. Pat
terson with his life partner, lives in
a neat little home in a fine residence
district in independence, where he is
surrounded by lifelong friends and
relatives. However he is not content
to sit and pass the time in reminis-
cences of early days as many men of
his ripe old age are prone to do. but
keeps busy greater part of the time
i'll his large garden which covers fully
half an acre. On this plot of ground
he raises vegetables of many descrip-
tions and the ones that are growing
there now are an entirely new crop
He has planted and raised two COM
plete gardens this year. One would
judge by the appearance of his onion
bed that this crop is to be a profitable
one. Mr.. and Mrs. Patterson have
been blessed during their married ex-
istence with ten children, who are all
living. For these stalwart sons and
daughters Mr.. Patterson still spends
many hours in his little work shop
back of the house. fashioning a last
remembrance and souvenir of his ae-
tive working life and ingenuity. He
has selected pieces of white ash from
ordinary cord wood and out of this
raw material he has fashioned rock
ing chairs which would grace any par
lor. About a year ago Mr.. Patterson
conceived the idea of making each of
his ehSdren a present of a rocking
chair of his own make and design and
it took him IS hours to perfect his
plans. Then he went to work and he
has now about finished the ten chairs.
He shipped one away to a son last
week. One of Mr.. Patterson's sons
offered him a chest of fine tools with
which to work, but he refused. saving
that he wished to make the chairs in
his own way. a very primitive one.
the only tools being a small saw, file
and iacknife. The chairs are fasten-
ed together with wooden pegs. Mr.. |
Patterson keeps as mentally active as
he does physically. He is a stauneh
of the old school and a be-
liever in woman suffrage. His broad
high brow shows the possibilities Of
an intellectual Development which has
not been neglected.

Patterson who viii be fortunate
enough to receive a rocking chair are:

THE DANISH ISLES.

There has been a disposition in
sme quarters to eriticise the price
which this government has offered for
the Danish West Indies. 1t is argued
that the islands are intrinsically
worth but little, and that S25, 100000
IS an exhorbitant price to pay for
them, even though this nation can
make good use of them as a naval
base, and further eoneeding it would
be unpleasant and highly undesirable
to have them pass under the control
Of some other European power, which
might cause them to be a menace to
American interests at some future
time.
No matter what basis is used for
estimating the value of these islands,
however, a little study of the ques-
hon VIII convince any fair-minded
person that the price which has been
offered by the United States IS not
excessive. when compared with what
it probably would cost to ACQUIRE
them by the ancient method of con-
quest. And While we speak Of this
method as ''aneiert, 4" it by no means
obsolete, for it is followed even 70
the present day by most nations. and

Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1916-09-05

has something to do with the present
great conflict in Europe.
Nearly every nation engaged in
this war, in fact, is counting on get
ting share of territorial spoils, pro-
viding its own side wins and a chance
is thereby provided to make new in
ternational boundaries and a redis-
tribution Of foreign colonies and is
lands. Yet it would be far cheaper
for any of these nations to pay a
round price for the territory it hopes
to acquire, for the actual cost of war
will make the cost of any territory
gained terribly expensive. England,
for instance, is paying something like
$30,000,000 for each day of war, or
considerably more than the criticised
price offered by this government for
the Danish isles.
War, in fact, is almost invariably
the dearest and most expensive way
Of getting what a nation wants. And
it is matter of no little satisfaction,
in this connection, to note that onr
own government long ago set the
style of bargaining and paying for
territorial acquisitions, rather than
