 @ HE country fair is the harvest WV time for the genial faker And
 now dealers in crooked appa-
 \a ratus for aeecing the farmers are sending out catalogues of their wares. One such circular tells in so many words that when the harvest moon hangs low in the west and the frost is on the pump kin and the corn is In the shock, then does the faker go out to reap a bounteous store of nickels and dimes to put away against that time when the snows shall pile deep and icy winds shall blow.
 The faker is not husbandman and he BOWS not, and neither does he gather up and bind into bundles, and yet, when the harvest season Is over the faker has more money than the honest farmer who has filled many golden acres.
 For the faker gets up early in the morn ing and goes to bed late at night, and he makes money all the live-long day.
 Yet the faker is not an unpopular vis- itor to the country fair. On the contrary, a country fair at which was not heard the stentorian shouts of the faker to ''eome on. boys, here's the chance to make your fortune" would be considered a dismal failure. The temptation to get something for nothing, or at least much for little, to fiirt with coquettish fortune, is irresistible. Though a man knows full well that the faker Is not at the fair merely for the sake of his health or for a pleasant outing, and that his tricks put to shame those of the heather Chinee, still the victim will take the one chance out of a million of beating the game. He doesn't beat 1t, for the game wasn't rigged up so that he could beat it. Still he Is willing to take the chance, and he suffers no disappointment when he fails.
 Chief among the catchpenny attractions of the faker is the cane rack. The coun- try cousins eye Is caught by the sight of the array of canes which seem so easy to secure. A cane is something that he thinks would add much to his cityfied ap- pearance, and besides would be useful In punching the cattle around and in slap ping his friends playfully across the back.
 The cane rack outfit does not cost the faker much. A net rack may be bought

in which the destructive flames were only
driven back after hours Of hard fighting.
Friday the fire was turned back south

townships. Hastily plowed fire breaks
and the gathering of nelghbors at points
of eminent danger is all that saved the
loss sof.numberess farm homes that lay
in the path of the fire, Many of the new
settlers report the loss of everything else
except their buildings. The hay loss is
