The Forty Second Annual
: fair of the Harrison County
Agricultural Society a Fin
ancial Success
The forty second Annual fair,
held under the auspices and super
vision of the Harrison County
Agricultural Society is now only
q memory. To some thatmemory is
actuated by divers sore spots, to
others by that dark dusky taste,
while to the fair officers it is the
memory of asteady mass of people
clamoring for admission to the
domains of the association
While he waanot able to make any
definite statement regarding the
affairs of the association, owing
TO at present the incomplete con-
dition of the reports of the differ
ent officers. Mr. b w Carlisle
Treasurer of the Fair association,
this morning stated the fair, from
a financial standpoint would UNI
doubtediy prove an immense sue
cess, a sufficient sum being real
ICED to settle all the associations
obligations contracted during the
fair which ended yesterday and
yet leave a balance sufficient to
take up a small debt the associa-
ton owes from last year. On
Wednesday the total paid adj
mission amounted to S935:25
while on Thursday the sum of
$635.45 poured into the Golfers of
the association from the entrance
gate. This sum taken with the
numerous other features of the
fair such as amphitheatre adj
missions, concessions, entrance,
money for the races etc. will
bring the sum up considerably,
but exact amonnt will not be
known for several days. The
people of Harrison County may
we'll feel proud over the success
of the fair.

Travelling men and others who
travel over the state and visit the
different towns give Loganscr
for doing more building this year
than any other town of it's size in
Iowa. Logan is certainly waking
up to the needs of the town and
that is more residence,houses. A
greatmany houses have been built
this season and every few days we
hear of some one who is going to
erect yet this season residence.
All the honses are being taken as
fast as completed and there are
calls for more. Farmers want to
move to town to educate their chill
dren. The Logan schools are a.
mong the best in the state and the
people are fast finding it out.
From present indications the
building boom will continue until
the little white flakes fall and many
are arranging build as soon rs the
robins return in early spring time
Let the good work continue.

rison are doing lots for Logan now

Five small boys residing in this
city have suddenly lost their taste
for ripe peaches. Last Friday one
of them sneaked box out of a
pile in front of Yarrington's store
and hid il under a bench, but the
clerks discovered it when closing
the store and, leaving it as a bait,
secreted themselves in the store
armed with couple of revolvers
loaded with blank cartridges.
About ten o'clock one of the lads
appeared on the scene and was
met with a fusilade of shots that
caused him to drop the peaches
and make rapid transit down the
street Another of the boys was
captured and gave the plans away
and Monday the crowd had trial
which resulted in fine of ten
dollars being assessed against the
boys who Gifted" the peaches
while the other swere. discharged.
But those boys have all lost their
appetite for peaches. -Woodbine

Barry, the most famous st Ber-
nard dog in all Switzerland, is to
have monument to his memory.
Barry lived ten years with the
monks, and in that time saved forty
lives. His most credible achieve
ment was when he found a child
of 10 years in the snow succumb-
ing to the fatal slumber which pre-
codes death. The dog first warmed
the child with its breath and
licked it until it awoke. Then, by
lying on his side, the dog gave the
child an obvious invitation to ride
The child mounted on his back
and Barry carried it to the con-
vent. The dogs death was due to
the timidity of a man who fancied
that his open mouth looked
threatening and hit the dog on the
head, killing him.

Nicola Reporter: cit is to be regret
ted that people generally look upon
drawing as a luxury, something that
does not directly influence PERSONS
Observation-Disclosures earning power. Cor
rect drawing implies the power of see
ing exact, see them as they are, see
their relation to other things. This
power of observation alone would COM
pensate for the pains taken. Other
things being equal the boy who can
draw will make much better mechan-
&c than the one who can not. He has
learned to use his eyes, to see the pro-
portion Of things. Other things being
equal, he will make better farmer,
because he has learned to use his eyes,
he will more quickly see the good point
of horse, COW or hog, he will also use
better judgment in regard to the bull
dings he wants. There is more likely
to be an air of comfort and beauty
about his home"

cessful fairs ever held in the county
and President T. + James and Score.
tary w ii Withrow are happy today.
They have worked early and late for
the success of the fair for the last
two months and much of the success
of the fair just closed is due to them.
As regard the number in attendance
and the finances taken in the fair was
q record breaker. Everything went off
smoothly and everybody went away
feeling that it was the best fair ever
held in the county.
The flower carnival was all that
could be expected and was the most
beautiful sight ever seen on the fair
g. ounds. The success of the flower
carnival was in great measure due
to the work of Mrs l. N Goodrich
She has worked necessarily FOR the
success of the carnival for the past
three months.

Profitable Skill.

If the dairyman is Il skillful farmer.
he can so manage his cows that thew
become fresh in August or September.
Then he can give the calves Taised by
hand, of course) good start with new
milk, ana in week or two after the
cows come fresh he can begin to make
putter-that is to say, when he cannot
make 1t more profitable than to sell
milk. If he can sell milk at fair prices,
he saves labor and time, and that ia
money. Dairy products in the United
states pring more money, according to
Verlhed statistics, than raising cereals.
