A Cambridge, Ill. paper has the
following to say of this company:
The engagement of the Van Dyke
& Eaton Co; opened last night to an
audience which taxed the seating
capacity of the opera house. The
cozy theater was packed-there be-
ing nearly l,200 people present.
While the audience was not only
large, it was made up Of the best
elements of the city's population
rather unusual occurrence on the
opening night of repetoire com
pany. Their plays are new and of
high class The advertising meth
dds of the company appealed to the
public, the use of superior printing,
the bona fde endorsements of this
worthy company prove them beyond
doubt the peoples popular favorites.
The wonderful moving pictures,
illustrated songs and other special
ties between acts are alone worth
twice the price Of admission charged
and if you want to get more than
your moneys worth, go!"

The County Fair.

Fair season will soon be upon us.
The corn is laid by, the harvest is!
already or soon will be gathered, and
after the farmer has tucked in the
corners Of the seasons work he will
have things in shape to take day or
so ofwithout having the feeling con
stantly with him that he ought to be
at home. The county fair offers one
of the opportunities for taking the
family and going off for days vaca-
ton. 1t gives one the chance to meet
friends from different parts Of the
county with whom stress Of work
prevents frequent visiting, to make
new acquaintance, to rub up against
other folksand brighten again the
spots rusted by six months Of hard
work. Fit is the kind Of fair it
ought to be there wall be exhibits
wellworth studying. There will be
cattle, horses, hogs, poultry, and
other stock, better than you have al
home. Better because better bred
and better fed. There will be ex-
hibits Of grain, of the garden, Of the
tree and vine, better than yours, aid
for the same reasons. It is worth
your while to study these things and
to talk with the men who produced
them. If you do not learn a lot more
than enough to repay you many times
for the time and expense Of attend
ing it will be because you do not
improve your opportunities. And be
sure to have the boys with you
when you are making the rounds of
the stalls and pens andsthe agricul-
tural exhibits. A day we'll spent in
this way may mark the turning point
in the boy II may give hin
aeHaidaas Of the opportunities Oh
the farm.
Unfortunately, not all county fairs
teaeh-the lessons they should. Some
~effhem teach lessons they should
not. The Midway Of the Worlds
Fairat Chicago started "a wave Of
immortality which has swept ovel
the western country like plague
The management Of some Of on,
county fairs have rendered them un
fit for decent people to attend by
harboring disgustinga and demoraliz
ing.Midway shows. 1t is time tn,
farmers Of the west took hold Of thi
matter. 1t is disease that must b
stamped out as mango and scab i
stamped out. If to do this it i
necessary to dip some Of the fai
managers, let them be dipped, AM
that thoroughly. The future Of tn
county fair as an educational inst
tuition is too great to permit it to b
perverted into a corrupting side
show. AS reflector of the agri
cultural life and conditions of tn
community the county fair is emit
tied to the hearty support Of ever

him insist in the most vigorous mar
ner possible that it be kept decent
and the time to make his influene
