FINANCIAL aid IS ASKED
County Fair Association Makes Showing
Before Supervisors,
WANTS MONEY TO WIPE OUT ITS DEFICIT
Law GoverninG Holding of Fairs Il
Cited, but No Action Is Taken
Upon Application, other
Than to Refer.

The Pottawattamie County Fair associa-
tion Of Avoca, which was incorporated in
August, 1897, is seeking financial assist
| ance from the county. A petition signed by
G. Diedrich and Roscoe Barton, president
and secretary, respectively Of the associa-
ton, was presented yesterday to the Board
OF County Supervisors, asking that 1t ap-
propriate 81, 900 to wipe out deficiency Of
s903S0 at present existing In the associa-
tons treasury. Under the new code of
1897, Boards Of County Supervisors are
permitted under certain conditions to ap-
propriate money for such purposes. The
section OF the code is as follows: Section
1660-When a county agricultural society
shall have procured in fee simple free from
incumberance land for fair grounds, not
less than ten acres in extent, or hold and
occupy such amount Of land by virtue OF a
lease, and own and have thereon buildings
and improvements worth at least $1,000, the
Boards Of Supervisors Of the county may ap-
propriate and pay to 1t . sum not ex-
ceeding 500 for every 1000 inhabitants In
the county, to be expended by 1t in putting
up or purchasing such fair grounds, but
for no other purpose, but the aggregate
amount SO appropriated shall not exceed
81 900 to any one society"
The Pottawattamie County Fair associa-
tion Of Avoca was incorporated with $780,
900 capital. and the petition to the board
sets up that the association has not only
spent this sum in purchasing land for the
fair grounds and in carrying out the nee
essary improvements, but has expended
$9O3S0, besides. which represents the de-
iciency in the associations treasury. The
petition further states that the association
has complied with all the requirements of
section 1860. This is the first application
made to the supervisors under this law and
no action on 1t was taken at yesterdays
session.

when mans intellectual powers are most

that this is not likely to correspond to the
age when he Is in the acme OF physical
strength.
Tests to determine when a man is at his
best physically and mentally have recently
been made in London. relates the New York
Herald. and the results have caused deal
OF astonishment to those who believe man
Is in his prime between the ages OF 40 and
80. Tests OF strength. mental and physical

these are given as the average figures for

The committee consisting OF Thomas Bow
man and Spencer Smith, appointed last Oc-
tober by the county supervisors to check
the books Of the county auditor, county re-
corder and clerk, presented Its report to the
board yesterday morning. The investigation
made by the committee only covered the
eleven months from January to December

that the clerical help in the county Offices is

the board at the time Of it's appointment the
committee makes several recommendations
The report was adopted by the board, but the
recommendations were referred for further
and more extended consideration.

The news comes across the water from
the Philippines that the men OF he
Yorktown, who were captured by the
Filipinos some weeks ago, are receiving
most cruel treatment from their captors.
This is in violation of the law of nations
and very plainly shows what kind of n
condition of affairs would exist If Aguin-
aldo were allowed to set up n govern
ment of his own. The current facts OF
history are making the position OF the
little Americans rs pitiable as it is con-
temptible. The United States would
deserve the scorn Of the civilized world
if it allowed these people to be left to
themselves. 1t would mean their de.
struction.
