TIE organization of the Shulls-
burg Driving Park and agricultural
association, is one worthy of imita-
tion in any community. The paper
of that place assures its readers that
the organization will be of mutual
benefit and interest to town and
country, and it is an enterprise
worthy of the support and encour
agement of all. No man who is in
terested in the welfare of the village
or the convenience Of the surround
ing country, should shirk in any de
gree fl ON doing his duty in the pro-
motion of this worthy object. The
impression that this effort is making
solely in the interests of horse rae
ing and horse jockeys is an errone-
Gus one and should be dismissed.
The intention as implied in the arti-
cles of incorporation is to provide,
as well, the opportunity for making
competitive exhibitions of all sorts
of hand work and produce, and
to establish regular market days for
the sale of the same. Here on reg
ular days set apart for that purpose,
the buyer and seller can depend on
meeting each other.

The following taken from the col
umns of an exchange is worthy of a
peruSal, we give it for all it is worth:
Gan editor died and slowly wended
his way down where he supposed
warm reception awaited him. The
devil met him and said: 'For
many years thou hast borne
the blame of the bad spelling that
the printer has gotten off in the
paper; the paper has gone out for
$3.50, alas! the $3.50 has often
failed to come in. The printer has
often bedeyiIed thee for wages
Saturday night when thou hadst not
a darned farthing to thy nasne. Men
'have taken the paper without paying
for it, and cursed thee for not get
ting up better one. Thou hast
been called "A dead head by the pas
senger conductors when thou hast
shown thy annual pass, and for $5
theatre ad. been compelled to attend
the performance on a gallery ticket
while your unfortunate wife stays at
home to mend up the children's last
winter apparel for future use. All
these things thou hast borne in
silence Thou canst not come IN
here And he fred him. As he
did so he murmured to himself-
Heaven is his home, and besides if
we had let him once in here he
would have been dunning delinquent
subscribers, and thereby creating
discord III my kingdom"

AN attempt was made by the
school board and principals of the
West Side schools, at Fan Claire, to
reopen the buildings Monday morn
ing, but policemen, by order of the
Mayor and in behalf of the Board
of Health, interfered and kept the
teachers and as many of the pupils
as possible from entering. The
schools, which were well attended
by over fifteen hundred scholars,
were closed by the Board of Health
on the Tuesday before, fearing a
spread of diphtheria, thirty four
cases being already reported. The
School Board protested, and hence
the war. The school officers will
have the policemen and other dis
rurbers prosecuted, and an interest
ing and important litigation over
the affair viii be the result.

All people who eat are indebted to the
Royal Baking Powder Company not more
for having perfected and prepared a leaven-
ing agent that is pure and wholesome beyond
a question than for its exposures, 30 boldly
made, of the numerous impure, adulterated
and injurious articles that are sold under the
name Of baking powders bread preparations,
etc, in this community. In making these
exposures the company has, of course, made
itself the target for all sorts of counter at
tacks but the snimus of these attacks has
been perfectly understood by the general
public and by their virulence have served
to more prominently call attention to the
good work of the Royal" Company.
Food frauds of the usual GLASS; such as
wooden nutmegs, chicory coffee and water
ed milk, although they are swindles in a COM
mercisl sense, are often tolerated because
they do not particularly affect the health of
the consumer. But when an article like
baking powder that is relied upon for the
healthful preparation of almost every meal
is 40 made as 10 carry highly injurious if not
rankly poisonous elements into our daily
food it would seem TO be the duty of the
press as well as of criminal authorities to take
cogniZRnce of it.
In the fight for pure food made by the
''Royal' Company some time ago, when its
guns were particularly trained against the
alum DhklnB powders, IL was nOuced Inat
the most Trustworthy scientific authorities
were emphAtically upon its side. So in the
recent contest with the lime and other i'm
pure baking powders the result has proved
that every statement made by the Royal
Baking Powder Company, both as to the
purity of its own and the adulteration of
other baking powders on the market, was
fully authorized by the most competent
chemical and medical authorities of the coun-
try.
In this contest two facts have been pretty
conclusively settled in the minds of the pub
hc-the first, that the Royal Company has
found the means, and use them, TO make
chemically pure article of food, and the
other that the average baking powde +, no mat
ter how strongly endorsed by the "eommer.
cial" chemists, is an exceedingly doubtful
preparation.
Pure baking powders are one of the CHIEF
aids to the cook in preparing perfect and
wholesome food. The recent controversy in
the press has left il no longer a question
with those who desire purity and wholesome
ness of food what baking powder they shall
use

The season of the annual fairs is again At
hand. So far as these tend to promote i'm
provement in agriculture and afford an OPP
portunity for association and innocent recre-
alton to class that have too little of it, they
have a civilizDg influence. Those that would
discourage anything of an opposite or de-
moralizing tendency can, perhaps, do so most
cfTectunlly by their presence on the ground.
On this question an exchange sensibly re-
marks:
1T has been said that agricultural fairs are
most potent and permanent educators; that
they stimulate friendly rivalry and beneficial
ly affect the agricultural condition of the dis
tricts in which they are held. Much Of this
is true, though their good effects are some
times transient and there are Objectionable
features connected with some of the exhibit
tons. But leaving these out of the account
(snd we think they are becoming less in num-
Der every year, there is little reason to doubt
that the annual fairs are of substantial bene-
fit to farmers. At least it gives them an OPP
portunity to meet, compare notes of their
farm experiences, and in other ways to get
more of practical instruction in week than
they could obtain at home in six months. II
the farmers would display as much enthusi
Rsm in contributing to the success of the fairs
as those do who are interested in the horse
racing, which ia prominent feature of so
many of them. we feel assured that the prac
teal benefit to be derived from them would
be much greater than now. Let the farmers
show the most and best they are able to do
and the fault will not be thei rs if the result l.
not entirely to their salts faction and perma
nent advantage"

The Homestead compIains that

''The itinerant speeeh-maker and politi
clan now blossoms out in all his glory. From
the bombastic Dr. Lorng at Bangor down to
the pettifogger who holds forth Mt the local
fairs in October, the agricultural atmosphere
is laden with praise of the farmer and smooth
compliments on the dignity Of his vocation.
1t is not many months before election, and
the present state of politics gives the far
mers' vote unusual Importance. Hence the
agricultural fair orator may be expected to
be unusually persuasive this season, with
great emphasis assuring his hearers OF his
devotion to their interests. The agricultural
fairs will be worked this fall for all they are
worth by this class Of politicians Farmers,
however, Judge such chaps at their real
worth, and we have no fears that such rural
eloquence' will blind farmers 10 their own in
terests Farmers must look out for No. l. )"
This is adapted to Massachusetts time.
Our biennial elections make it less applicable
here in the of year. Yet the orators al the
fairs will indulge in extravagant praises OF
the farmer and his vocation all the same
Though this line of oratory has been worked
until it has fearful lack of originality, W.
are still bound to hear it again and again,
and not alone from lawyers and politicians.
