forming number of roomy pockets. A

ABOUT THE FAIR.

During the past week encouraging news
comes from numerous points relative TO
the District fair A correspondent reports
that when at the recent farmers picnic
held at Cheney he had the pleasure OF
listening to an address by President Glover
in which this gentleman strongly urged
the farmers to turn out this fall and
bring their exhibits and attend the fair,
as the management was largely IN the
hands of the farmers and its success
would reflect special credit on them.
ENQUIRIES by the farmers on the edge OF
the audience could be heard as to the eX-
tent of the premiums offered and the
probabilities of who would be the lucky
one for this prize or that one, and many
were heard to say that they were
going to get ready for the 1alr.
The same correspondent Is OF
the opinion that President Clover's speech
to the farmers wherein he stated that this
was farmers district fair has done more
to bring strength and harmony than any
other event that has happened so lar
There is no question that the farmers OF
Sedgwick and adjoining counties have the
ability and disposition to hold successful
discreet fair. When such a fair is based
on honest principles and IN the
hands of honest, competent parties.
Secretary McNair has succeeded

Low Wages and TIPS.

It was the opinion of John Stuart Mill
that tips tended rather TO lower than to
raise the average of wages. Some light
was thrown On this subject by q case heard
at Thames police court, whore a man
named Brown; a porter at Feuchurch Street
Railway station, WIS charged with desert
ing his wife. It was stated shat defend
ants wages were 18s. a week, but that tips
from passengers brought up his income TO
GO. Substantially this was correct, for
Brown admitted that On an average gen
erous public contributed POS. weekly toward
his pay. In his case Stuart MilPs theory
received some confederation, for, being a
steady man, he was now employed as a
timekeeper, and getting fewer presents was
worse off than be would have been if the
tipping system did not exist. 1t will con-
tinue all the same, notwithstanding its in
congrlities, which led the magistrate to re-
mark that if promotion for being steady
led to diminished pay, it seemed rather the
interest of the men not to be steady.-Lon-
