Some special arrangements may be made during fair time, although nothing definite along that line has been -announced by Superintendent Cook. At a meeting of the school board Friday, it was decided to let the old Cascade school building stand, as there may be use for it as an emergency building, or a few of its rooms, and it has little if. any sale value at this time.

Superintendent Cook reports all school buildings cleaned and renovated and in good condition for opening of the school year. It was also reported that the under-drainage for the new Cascade school grounds is completed and in working order. High school students entering school this fall should register on August 25 and 26.

Spe- cial features for the clay will be under the auspices of County School Superintendent Miss Z.

May Meighen, and Superintendent J. Kirby Smith of the Doty schools. One reason for changing Children's day to Saturday is because the Chehalis schools begin fair week. For the first, time this year there will be an admission charge to ihe grounds in the evenings. General admission to the fair -will be 50 cents this year; children under 14 years, 25 rents.

No half-fares. After 5 o'clock each evening, 25 cents a head admission will be charged. The big addition to the fair grounds purchased the past year will be used for parking purposes. The north gate will l)e used for autos for parking only. The central gate for physicians, heads of departments, etc.

The south gate for stockmen and delivery entrances only. Every mail brings Manager Walker letters referring to the livestock department, which indicates the largest stock exhibit in the history of the fair, and the record in that line was broken last year. There 'will be especially fine displays this year in beef cattle. There are two added classifications for. awards this year which has greatly increased the interest, es- pecially among livestock men out of the districts, as well as among local breeders.

There will also be a record-breaking display of poultry this year. Ed Schoel of Albany, states he will bring a carload of hogs and sheep, and many other breeders of hogs anil sheep say they will be on hand. Interest in the Better Babies contest continues great, and every, mail brings inquiries either to Secretary Walker or to Mrs. J. M.

Sleicher, superintendent of the department. Mothers are realizing that no better opportunity can be offered to get first-hand expert knowledge on the physics 1 1 condition of their free of charge, than this contest at the fair. Secretary Walker received his premium ribbons this week, and they are the finest the local association has ever had. The commercial booth space has all been taken. The race track is in most excellent shape, and i a very large list of race entries have been received.

With auto polo every day and a special horse show as new features'this year, every forecast indicates the biggest and best fair the as! sociation has ever staged. Mrs. M. C. Lowry, who was head of the--'- culinary department, has resigned, owing to other matters requiring her time, and Mrs.

S. Sonneveld, 522 North Rock street, telephone il47-M, Centralia, is taking Mrs. place. State's Report on Chehalis Schools The state checking department has' made its report to Mrs. A.

C. St. John, clerk of the school board of Chehalis on the finances of district No. 3 for the year ending June 30. -The report shows the district spent $4117.95 less than the estimate for the year and $2827.48 less than the actual money available.

The warrant reduced $20,130.60. The expense per capita for average daily attendance was increased over the previous year. This increase was due to added cost of instruction, and interest on bonds of the new Cascade school building.

The net debt of the district is and the net assets The operation of the schools for the year cost $80,359.05.

Clarence Alyn of Tacoma is visiting at the home of Mrs. Fred Long. In spite of all that has 'been said and published about registration, there are many who do not yet understand its provisions. Under the pres- i'eiit registration law, which -was amended by the last legislature, all voters within incorporated towns aud cities must re-register this year if they would vote at the primaries and general election. Registration is not required of voters outside incorporated cities and towns, providing they registered four years ago and voted at the last election.

Registration books close August 22, for primary registration.

Citizens' Glub committees will get busy at once on local plans. This is the largest state park created so -far, and the state already has available money 'to use in developing the tr'act. It is the only body of natural Washington timber in all its variety and beauty that is now left on the Pacific highway in this state.

It is a beautiful body of timber, is unusually well located, has plenty of very fine water for development purposes, and will be comparatively easy to improve. A comprehensive plan of entrances and exits, parking spaces, camping spaces, is being worked out, and the state park board intends to let no delays interfere with the early development of the tract. Every facility possible for the convenience and comfort 'of tourists and automobile parties will be provided. Nearby communities will take a hand in assisting in this work. Chehalis people will especially appreciate the location of this park near this city, and the Citizens' Club and the citizens generally will enthusiastically lend every aid possible to make the Lewis and Clarke State park one of the famous stopping places in the northwest.

The Last Call Only four more days until the registration books iu riichalis close. The last day you can register is next August 22. If you have not already done so, register Avithout i'urther delay, and do your share of nominating the men who will hold public office 'for the next four years in Lewis county. The recent legislature lengthened the term of office for county officers to four instead of two years, and among the men or women nominated at the primaries will be the ones who will hold those offices for the coining four years. It is highly important that the most capable be chosen--the candidates who will give the most sincere and careful service.

You should have a share in the choosing, and you it to your neighbors to accept your responsibility. It is of especial importance that republican voters register, because there is a multiplicity of candidates for most of the offices, and in most cases nomination will mean election at the general election later. If the best men are not named the offices, and you are not registered and cannot vote at the primaries, then you not only have no criticisms to make when they are elected, but you also must bear some of the odium of giving our commonwealth inferior officers, should tliere be such, because of your "indifference. A light vote is neither fair to the candidates nor to the general public. Therefore, don't delay, the important duty and privilege of registering and taking a part in the primaries.
