6bo RACES.
THE WORTHINGTON DISTRICT
FAIR WILL GIVE A CLEAN
EXHIBITION. NO POOL '
SELLING.-

A feature of the Worthington Fair
will be the speed contest. Good
purses, guaranteed by the business
men of Worthington will be the
prizes sought.
There will be two trotting races
and at least on running race each
afternoon of the second and third
days.
What is more animated than the
rhythmic even movements of the
iron muscles Of well--trained hard
ened, thorugh bred horses It, is
no hardship for them either; after
their months Of practice they are SO
toughened to the work that racing
horses move off as easily as a
machine. The care and training of
racing horses is reduced to an exact
science and they do their work
with such ease that itisa pleasure
to see them.
The management will not allow
pool selling nor allow other gambl-
ing devices on the grounds. Patrons
of the fair may expect to see clean
sport, as far as it can be made such.
The Fair commences September
10th and continues the 18th and 18th.
Reduced rates will be given on
the railroads. 49,.
For good clean exhibition come
to the Worthington District Fair
Sept. 10th, 18th, and 18th. -.

TURERS COMBINE.
BY the combining of all the lead
ing harvester manufacturers of the
country 4 great change will b<
brought about in the selling Of
binders and great army Of can
vassers will be laid off and compelled
to seek other kinds of employment.
The men whose services are to be
dispensed with are the canvasser<
and travelling salesman, whose work
has been to solicit orders for machin.
cry personally from all retail dealers
and farmers and among whom there
has been much competitor in behalf
of their respective houses including
a slashing Of prices, amounting in
some cases to from 10 to $25 on q
single machine.
Thework of these men in the main
has been made unnecessary by the
information of the combine, one OF
the avowed objects of which is to
abolish competition. T.
What ever work is necessary fo1
the companies to do in the field here
after will, according to the instruc-
tions just forwarded to the general
superintenents be done through the
permanent block men, by which
is understood those men who have
heretofore superintendent the labors
of the ,,canvassers and travelling
salesman having their headquarters
in the large towns in each of their
respective districts. y s.s,ss,
''Forced" sales will be abolished,
according to present plans, this
being understood to mean that no
inducements will be offered through
personal solicitors. or other wise
to farmers to purchase machinery.
The number of block men, can
vassers and travelling statesmen now
in the field is estimated as follows:

400 block men, 1000 canvassers and
travelling statesmen. Deering

THE WORTHINGTON DISTRICT
FAIR

THE WORTHINGTON DISTRICT
FAIR.
/ The dates for the Mobiles county
Fair are Sept. 10, II, and ~.
That every person in Mobiles
county is interested in this Fair goes
without dispute. This fair is given
under the newly organized corpora
ton called the Worthingon District
Fair Assertion.
e Nearly every business man in
Worthington, many others and
lots of farmers have backed this
Fair by putting into it and taking
stock The new grounds are centr-
ally located, in fact right in town,
about three blocks from the school
house and away from all railroad
tracks, deing away with the risk
Of runaways by frightened horses.
The new buildings consist of a large
we'll lighted main building or
!"Floral Hail. conveniently located
near the track and stock buildings.
Next is a 20o-foot long double
stock barn with alley down center
Tor fast and fancy horses. The
track is being given the finishing
touches, and work on it will continue
up to tho time the Fair begins.
y An examination of the Premium
Fist, reveals that any ambitious
person may find something to
exhibit. If he is not the possessor
Of animal or product, something of
his own handiwiork, though
common to his line, would interest
others, and bring to the man suit
able reward.
@s STOCK EXHIBIT.
4.s The towns of Mobiles county are
all country towns" because they
are dependent on the stock an farm
ing interests. A trip over this and
surrounding country will satisfy
anyone that in addition to the best
of field products there is fine stock
in plenty. Prize winning horses,
cattle, hogs and sheep may be found
by the hundreds. Farmers and
stock breeders get the benefit from
a fair more than any one else.
Don't, in these times of plenty. and
prosperity of high priced and fat
fields compare the thoughbred ex-
hibition stock Of today with that of
few years back. Then there are
the numerous fowls of all kinds. If
you have fine birds of any breed,
make up a coop and bring it in the
first day of fair Sept. 1912. Pet
ANIMAL thoroughbred dogs, rabbits,
colts, calves, pigs and lambs are
good to interest the boys. OF course,
comparisons will be made, but it
will be of no help to this fair to
compare it with any of the Mobiles
County Fairs. The old fairs had
their place, they accomplished some
thing, and the management did all
that coud be Gone with the means
at their disposal. Now, the country

FREE SCHOOL BOOKS.

citizen who has recently had
children in the grades Of our
Public Schools received copy Of
the following circular. Some ot
these may have been over looked
and some others may have books
they are willing to turn over to
the Board of Education. Let
every citizen do what he can to
make success of this undertaking,
for 1t means a grand advantage for
our little people. q
Dear Friend: AT q meeting Of
the Board of Education Aug. 16,
by unanimous action it was decided
that if the patrons of the school
would give to the Board the grade
school bucks they now have, here
after the Board would undertake to
supply all pupils below tho High
School with such books as they
will need, free of cost.
If our School District should take
this step and be obliged to buy all
books new, it would be very expen.
sive; but it is believed that the very
widespread advantages of Free
School Books may be gained by
our village without serious outlay
if you, and your neighbors generally,
will give all the school books you
now have, books your children
used last year or earlier and younger
children might use this year, and
which, if this plan succeeds, will
become utterly valueless to your
home.
Under the Free School Book plan
the books would each be labeled
the property of the School District
and lent to the pupils from time to
time as they may need them, under
the suitable regulations for their
preservation and return. This does
not refer to copy books, drawing
books, or other books that can be
used ony once but does include all
substantially bound books except
dictionaries required by pupils
below the ninth grade. The plan is
A general practice elsewhere and is
universally popular.
Next Saturday representative
of tho Board will call at your home
for such books as you will give up
under this plan. He will make a
list of just what books you hand in.
If the scheme should fail of
sufficient support, these books will
be returned to you. Have your
books collected and ready by eight
o'clock next Saturday morning,
Aug. 23,and 50 do your part toward
giving this splendid advantage to
our public school children.
Respectfully,
G. J. Smallwood,
E. A. Trip,
In behalf of the
Board of Education.

Base Ball at Bisbee.

Sunday next will be a -ed-lctter day
for Bi-bee in the way Of base ball.
Arrangements have been made for Two
games-one in the morning and the

able that the first game will be in
the nature OF an exhibit, As the
Clifton boys arc noted Tor their sport
ing qualities and viii play nothing
bat 4 match game, no matter how
many innings are played.
Tho Review Of Tuesday last stated
that the Bi-bce team had been greatly
strengthened with several Southern
California "leagucrs." While tho
Clifton team = somewhat weakened on
account Of the departure Of several Of
it, bet players, the boys have gather
ed MP the best team possible and ex-
pcct to give the Bi=bec professionals a
chase FOR their money.
An excursion rate Of 80 for the
round trip will be made from Clifton,
leaving Clifton Saturday morning on
the regular train and returning Mon
day night, giving the people chance
to sec the town OF Bi=bee in addition
10 a good game OF base ball. 1t is not
likely that very large crowd will
take IN the games, due to the dis
several weeks ago. How
ever, a good game OF base ball and a
Jolly time generally is in store FOR
those who do attend.

Rev. Ayers, pastor of the MethO-
dist Church, left Clifton Saturday last
for Flagstaff to attend the conference,
and was not sure that he would return
to Clifton. The facts are that the rev.
crend's labors in Clifton did not yield
fruit, at least not in any great album
dance, and the reverend was not very
enthusiastic over his work here. The
field is large and there are sinners a
plenty, but the church could not get
land upon which to build in any CEN
trail portion OF town, and without a
church ediiice it is hard for minister
to make much Roadway. The rever-
end is Il good man and good preach

regret his departure.
