School Industrial Exhibit
On Friday, November 21, the
school conducted an industrial fair
which, with its many unique fea
tures and generous attendance,
was a pronounced success.
The bad weather which pre
vented a school parade that had
been planned did not keep a host
of parents and other interested
persons at home. An excellent
dinner was served free by the do
mestic science department, and
was done justice to by an appre
ciative host of school patrons.
The manual training depart
ment was in full blast and full of
interest. Bootjacks and darning
balls were being manufactured
and distributed as souvenirs to all
visitors. At 1:30 a meeting of
the parents was held to discuss
school matters. Addresses were
given by County Superintendent
of Schools Martha A. Boardman

Thursday evening a school pro
gram was held as a part of the
fair. It consisted of folk songs
and dances by the primary chil
dren, and a well rendered play en
titled "Eine Muss Ueiraten,"
given by the German class of the
high school. Negro folk dances
given in costume by the seventh
grade was an interesting feature.
Seventeen dollars profits were
realized from this entertainment.
The fair exhibits were judged
and prizes awarded by Mrs. C. R.
Fish, Mrs. Edward K. Jacobs, Miss

Boost For Tour Town.
Are you helping to build up
your town and community? If
not, why not? Do you speak
favorably of your business houses,
and do you patronize your home
institutions and enterprizes? Do
you believe in the capabilities of
tilings and people here? Do you
applaud the person who is trying
to build up something for your
town's betterment ? Do you do
your share of the public dead
work, h certain amount of which
exists in your community? If
you do till these things you arc
assisting in the material up-build
ing of your community.
If you buy your goods from
money order houses that should
be bought at home, if you talk of
men and cnterprizes just from
petty jealousy or pure cussednesq,
if you refuse to give your tim«
and talents to help public move
ments only to criticize those that
do, you are not assisting in the
betterment, of things. Your ideas
may differ from others, but let the
public have the benefit of them,
but don't sulk if they are not ac
cepted. The majority is more
liable to be right than you, so let
majority rule.
The man who sits in his chair
and snarls at public officials, busi
ness, at the schools and how the
board of directors take charge of
things, at the different societies,
at everything but himself, is
neither useful nor ornamental to
his community. He neither helps
nor adorns the town where he lives.
Be a booster and boost for your
town, and try to be other than a
knocker when something is being
started for the benefit of your
solf aud your community at large.
Don't be a dead weight, but be a
helpful citizen.

Orient and Vicinity
The vicinity of Orient is becom
ing more and more an agricultural
and fruit raising country. The
district tributary to Orient is rap
idly forging to the front during
tfhe last few years.
There is a good deal of fine fruit
raised both in Orient and the ad
jacent country, There has been a
great increase in the acreage of
alfalfa and corn: 100,000 bushels
of grain probably grown, 1000
tons of timothy hay and 300 tons
of grain hay.
Three years ago there were but
two cream shippers in the country
around Orient; today there are 25.
Three years ago there were prob
ably only 200 hogs; today there
are 1000, and five times as many
cattle.
Hungry Hill, which is north
east across the river in Stevens
county, is "going some" agrieul
urally. Jim Smith of that place
planted one sack of Blue Stem
wheat, from which he received 45
bags of grain. The sheaves aver
aged five and a half feet in length
and it was hard to put them
through the threshing machine.
His oats yielded 148 bushels from
Jess than one and one-fourth acres
of land. J. Mean had 400 sacks
of potatoes from one and one-half
acres of land. Mr. Sackett raised
550 sacks on a little less than three
acres. Hungry Hill was so named
because the first settler nearly
starved to death. There has been
quite a change in affairs since.
In October the school held a fair.
The children also gave an enter
tainment and after it served re
freshments, consisting partially of
"pumpkin pte like mother used to
make."
Orient can justly be proud of
her school and the work of its
children. An autumn drill by the
tiny ones in which they were
dressed in autmu leaves deserves
mention. The school work ex
hibited measured up beside any of
like kind given anywhere. The
freehand drawing from nature is
worthy of especial remark; there
were vegetables, friiit, flpwers, an
imals, drawn very true to nature,
and some of them were colored.
There was a very fine exhibit of
colored drawings from the Rock
eut school.
The agricultural exhibits were
good and there were certainly
some immense vegetables shown.
There was also some fine fruit.
Ribbons and cash prizes were
awarded for the following: Best
and second best ten ears of field
corn, best display of alfalfa, best
display of clover and other
grasses, specimen of native "pea
vine, sample of wheat, sample of
oats, for best and second best dis
play of plate of apples, best of
pears and peaches, on squash,
pumpkin, potatoes, carrot, stock
beet, cabbage and tomatoes and
beans. Also on an immense sun
flower, seven inches in cir
cumfrence, grown by the lady jus
tice of the peace; also for the best
canned fruit and pumpkin pie and
for the best floral display.
The display was left in the hall
as the Holden Inland Empire al
falfa demonstration train was
coming through on the next Sat
urday. When they came they
proceeded at once to the hall
where a lecture was given. Be
fore that they thoroughly exam
ined the exhibits. The school work
was highly praised and declared
that some of it was better than
shown at the state fair, and some
was taken away to "be shown at
the state display in Spokane. The
agricultural displays were appre
ciated and during the lecture the
speaker praised a sample of corn
that had failed to receive a pre
mium; said it was worth a dollar
a pound to this community. He
werit to the little girl in whose
name it had been entered and of
fered her a dollar, but she being
honest did not take it, as she said
her father raised it, until he told
her to do so and raise some her
self next year.
