COUNTY AGAIN RETURNS
WINNER FROM FAIR
Averitt Hickox and Katherine Bos.
we'll Maintain Records Set by
Previous Contestants--Take
Two blue Ribbons.

That Malheur county won two blue
ribbons at the State Fair Is the in
formation that comes from Mrs. Fay
Clark Hurley, county superintendent
of schools. Averitt Hickox and
Katherine Boswell who represented
the county in the competition with
the other boys and girls of the state
proved worthy successor of the pred
ecessors from this region. In tel
ling OF their work at Salem, Mrs
Hurley says:
"Averitt Hickox and Katherine
Boswell the two Malheur County
club members who won the free trip
to the State Fair were both awarded
blue ribbons at the state Fair and
are entitled to attend the boys and
girls summer school to be held at
o. A. G. next June. Averitt won
over all OF the corn club boys In the
State OF oregon and Katherine over
the cooking and baking club girls.
Hundreds of children we're compet-
ing for these prizes. The fact that
our Representatives were State Fair
winners certainly justifies the judg-
ment OF our own county fair judges.
For one hundred per cent of the
Representatives from any county to
carry away capital prizes at the
State Fair Is very unusual and we
should be proud of these bright
youngsters.
Perhaps you do not know that
business men OF Portland pay for the
summer trips taken by the kiddles
| am sending a little club bulletin
with a marked page that should be OF
interest to you. Just feel that II
every man and woman In the county
really knew what these youngsters
we're doing they would support club
work to it's last need"

LAST OF FIRST GROUP OF
VOLUNTEERS BACK IN CITY

Herb Paul, the last of the first
group of stalwart volunteers who
left Ontario on April 10, 1917, to
can the Kaiser is back on his old job
at the o. s. l.. freight station Paul
is the only one of that group who
wears scars OF battle wounds, and he
has a pair of them.
The story of his second wound is
one of the most thrilling, at the same
time humorous that the boys OF on
tario have brot home with them II
happened thus:
with a bunch of his pals he was
lying behind little ridge In the Ar
gonne with Boche planes bombing
now and then from overhead, and
Boche artillery landing shells too
close for comfort An old German
piano was located in the open a few
yards to the rear, and the boys thot
that a safe place for concert--at
least II was no hotter than the hole
behind the hill--so they gathered
around while one of the Jazz artists
of the group tickled the iyorys and
the rest did barbershop chord. The
harmonizing was given an exit cue
by Heinie flyer who dropped a
bomb on the opera troop. A she'll
frangment sent several of the boys
West" but Paul escaped with a
wounded thigh which sent him back
to the hospital.
