ON THE MARX.

Oregon's Fourth Liberty Loan managers
plan to put the state "over the top" by q
m, September 18, the day on which the cam.
paigu starts in other states. That aim and
purpose is the biggest possible aim. To make
good on that purpose the banks of the state
are to open at Z a. m. to list the subscrip-
tons.
There is no reason why this can not be
done Everyone who can possibly buy bonds
at all knows today just as well as he will
know month from now how much he can
spare from his necessities to buy Liberty
Bonds. There is really no need for the TAX
ing of hundreds of hours from the work DAYS
of business men to be used in urging citizens
to buy Liberty Bonds. AS one such, you,
Mr.. Reader, should realize that. This is your
war as well as that of the Liberty Bond sales
men and local committees. Since you are
not called upon to aid in planning the cam
paign, listing the subscriptions, arrange for
the advertising and the hundred and one
things that must be done, the very least YOU
can do is to come forward with your sub
scription, after being notified of the rating
given YOU by the local committee.
This word is added concerning the rat
ings. They are made up bv the local com
mittee which has before il the total quota Of
the county and district. 1t is made from the
best available knowledge. If it is too low you
as good American will voluntarily raise it:
if it is too high. take it to your local commit
toe some time between now and September
81 and have it adjusted. But do nj
knock" do not complain that YOU have
been asked to do more than Your share.
Think what the bows ~ the trenches MUST
do for YOU. Then be man and dc your part
checrfully.

PAIRS VALUE SHOWN.

There is no doubt concerning the value of
the Malheur County Fair. The fact that
thousands of citizens came to Ontario to see
the exhibits and enjoy the program demon
strates beyond cavil that it is filling need
in the lives of the people.
\ This is a sparsely settled country. Op.
portunity for social relaxation after hard
years work are few and that the week spent
here is beneficial to all who take part can not
be doubted. If such events were not sched-
uled their loss would be more apparent. 1t
is a case of "never missing the water until
the well runs dry"
7 Of course one of the material benefits
and that is what most people desire from
such an institution is the development of the
spirit of friendly rivalry between the hun
dreds of exhibitors and the various commun-
tiles, in their efforts to bring forward the
best products This effort stimulates intel
hgent effort and adds to the prosperity Of
the county.
How would the ranchers of the Brogan
region, for example, know what can be done
in the Adrian section were it not for the an
nual Fairl How would the Dead Ok Flat
learn what is doing along the Boulevardi
In marking the passing of the 1918 Fair
an injustice would be done if public recog-
milton of the work of the board of directors:
President A. l.. Cockrum, Vice President +.
A. Fraser and directors, III. III. Tumy, p. j.
Gallagher and were not given.
Similar appreciation should be given Secre-
tary &. NJ. Stearns and his assistant III. II.
Douglass, as well as the superintendent and
assistant superintendents of the various de-
partments.
Without the mtiring work of these Off
cials, to whom countless details were re-
ferred during the rush of preparation, the
fair could not have been held. Then. too. the
exhibitors. especially the men from Adrian,
the Boulevard, Brogm and Dead Ok Flat.
are entitled Ia special word of praise foy
what they have done Ia make the Fair a sue
cess They have proven that they are 1.-The
salt of the earth. " ready and willing at great
inconvenience to themselves and with great
labor "a bring together the exhibits and ar
range them with artistic skill.
After viewing the great crops that those
who exhibited produced he would be q
strange farmer indeed who would not be in
spired 10 20 home and make an effort 10
equal or surpasS the result next year
IL is truism that country like an indi- z
vidual cannot stand still Ii must either 90 I
forward or backward and without the incen- I
tive of the annual Fair with It's competitive
spirit the county would be more apt To go
backward than forward.
This is especially true in a county which
has no County Agent Ia bring Ia the atten-
tion of the ranchers the advanced ideas that }
are constantly being developed in agricul-
ture.

rHESTS or ELEPHANTS
STIR SLAMS OFFICIALS
Se" and Stringent Measures Are
Taker to Stop the Growing
Evil Turnout Country.

london, England. Aroused nv the
cteady increase in thefts of elephants,
the principal beast OF burden in the
country, the authorities Of Siam are
taking stringent measures to stop this
evil. II would seem that an elephant
would be about the last thing in the
world a man would be able to steal
Yet in Siam one must keep a careful
watch on such elephants as he may
own, ne matter what their size.
Elephant stealing in Siam has al
ways .becn more or less prevalent and
for some time past been a source Of
much anxiety 10 the officials, Reeu.
lations were drawn up about fifteen
years ago by the British and Siamese
authorities with a view TO the sup.
preston of this offense
Later these were supplemented by
additional regulations, embodylng
definite rules for The purchase and
sale Of elephants, and imposing pen
allies on all persons in possession of
elephants who are not provided with
sale papers properly executed before
the local authorities.
notwithstanding All these precau.
lions elephant stealing continues in
siam, and in ono year alone fifty
elephants were stolen from British
foresler3, representing q loss Of some
$4,000.
The Karen tribesman are tho chief
Offenders; but, tho their somewhat in.
accessible villages are well known TO
the near kwen, or district Official, in
no single instance has the assistance
rendered by the Siamese officials led
TO the discovery OF the elephant stolen
or of the thief.

AMERICA SENDS
FIGHTERS FOOD

True, British and American sea'dogs
hunted the submarine; American ship
builders launched fleets whose sheer
numbers made ii impossible for the
Hun sub-sea terrors to sink all oil them;
British land CONSUMPTION turned hun
dreds of thousands of acres OF parks
and hunting preserves into crop-pro-
ducing areas; Hoover and American
food economy saved millions of BUSH
els of wheat and shiploads of meat for
fighting men and civilians in France
and England.
But in the last analysis it was the
farm and the. farmer of America that
kept allied hosts on every Western
front in plenty and added despair OF
victory to the pinch of hunger behind
the Hun lines.
His bumper crops jolted hopes at
Potsdam and Vienna as severely as his
fighting sons jolted Teuton generals at
Cantigny and along the Marine, since
expectations of American crop failure
were based with Germanic COM
