The Mountain Advocate has correctly
measured the constitutional knocker:
'No one is obliged to live where he is
not suited. If one hasn't an encouraging

up and go way back and sit down.. If
things don't suit you, move to where

STATE FAIR NOTES.
Active Preparations Have Begun
For Kentucky'S Big Event
Next September.

The Kentucky State Board of Agri-
culture, Forestry and immigration, un-
der whose auspices the Sta,e Fair will
be held at Louisville. September 1921,
has completed the classification of pre-
miums for the next State Fair, and the
same is soon to 90 to press for distri-
button among over twenty thousand
prospective exhibitors. Any one inter-
ested in exhibiting live stock of any
character, poultry, woman's work, pro-
ducts Of the field, orchard, garden or
dairy, or the handiwork of children,
will confer favor upon the board of
agriculture by forwarding his or her
name to the secretary, K. +. Hughes,
Louisville
Twenty-Five thousand dollars is being
offered by the State Board of Agricul-
ture in premiums and purses for the
Kentucky State Fair to be held at
Louisville, September 1921, The State
Fair offers to the breeder of all classes
of live stock an excellent opportunity to
bring his stock ty the public's attention
in way that no other occasion offers.
Nstiello's band, a premier musical
organization with fifty all-star artists,
will furnish music for the kentucky
State FAIR, to be held at Louisville, Sep
TENDER 1921. The State Board of Ag-
riculture is negotiating with the famous
Knabenshue, to bring to Louisville his
new passenger carving airship, together
with his captive balloon, and the bal
looms with which two members of his
aeronautic company make races, as
some of the big attractions of the State
Fair. Kuabenshue has a reputation
that is worldwide. He was the first
American to make a successful flight in
an airship, aud has been perfecting the
machine that penetrates the skies, ever
since his first fight at the St. Louis Ex-
position in 1904, until now he has a We
hicle soaring the air, which carries ad-
ditional passengers.
Negotiations are now on with all
railroads entering Louisville, where the
State Fair will he held September 16.21,
to announce very low rates with liberal
extensions as to time
The personnel of the State Board of
Agriculture, Forestry and immigration,
which is directi g the Kentucky State
Fair movement, is a guarantee that the
State Fair for 1907 will be enc in every
way in keeping with the progress of

SEMI-MUNIcIPAL OWNERSHIP.
Partnerships Between Cities and Com
panies Are Bad.

panies Are Bad.
Whenever in these days an electric
light company is unfortunate enough TO
have a street lighting contract expire
lr a city where the municipal owner
shlr Of the street lighting plant has
been agitated there sometimes comes
forth out of the chaos of ideas as to
how the municipal ownership business
should be handled some proposition
from a private company which pur-
ports to have the welfare Of the city
rather than any private gain at heart
This company, with great love for
the commonwealth. either real or as
sumed. usually comes forward with q
proposition for a kind of "semi-munici-
pal ownership" the company to per
form the work Of lighting the city for
a number of years at a good round
sum and at the end of the contract the
lighting plant to be turned over to
the city free Of cost and payment for
the plant to be made out of the regular
monthly payments of the city for its
lighting. such monthly payments being
Invariably a good round sum per lamp.
Now. such propositions as this may be
made in good faith by a company Of
public spirited but misguided citizens
who really wish to serve the city, and
there are usually some respectable
names connected with an enterprise of
this kind when 1t is launched. How
ever there is usually an African some
where in the woodpile or at least a
strong possibility that there will be one
before the game is through.
It seems remarkable that any munic-
lpallty in this day and generation can
be deluded into the belief that any
such scheme of semi-municipal owner
ship can compare for a minute with
good. straight. short contract at rea-
sonable rates with a corporation al
ready in the lighting field. After all,
redeeming feature to this scheme Is
that at the end of a term Of years 1t is
fairly certain to bring home forcibly TO
a municipality the depreciation due to
advance I'm the art as well as the de
probation caused by wear and tear

At 10 o'clock this morning rs the

county, and who presided at the first

and hand down his decision on the
motion for new trial filed by the
defense in the case of Ohio VS.. ex-
Cashier Bachtel of the Canton state
bank.
The motion was argued and submit
ted to the court several months ago
and just why decision in the mat
ter has been so long delayed is not
clear. Up to the present time three
of the indictments against the ex-
cashier have been tried, the Jury's
verdict on the first trial being guilty
and the latter two mot guilty"
The public seem to have manifested
great interest in the efforts of Pros
ecutor Upham to punish the guilty
parties, IL any, but there seems to
have been many legal obstacles placed
in the way of justice to the many
unfortunate depositors of the late Can
ton State bank.

class vaudeville he has been Offering
to the theatre goers of Canton and
vicinity. Not content with having a
minstrel show last week he put on
number of specialtles that were very
good. One wonders how vaudeville
such as Park theatre patrons have
been witnessing. can be put on the
stage at such low prices, namely 10.
20 and 80 cents. but 1t Is presumed
Mr. Harris would sooner give a good
show and draw large number of peo-
pie than a poor show and small at
tendance. The bill next week looks
like a good one. II II comes up TO
the past bills It Is all that could be
asked as the attendance this season
shows for itself the popularity of the
entertainments given.

COUNTY BOARD
Of ElectionLikeIyt to Meet
Today For Organi-
zation.
TANCLE ON CLERKSHlP

The county board Of elections is
scheduled to meet for organization on
Monday but the members of the board
have been called to Canton for a. IN.
saturday when 1t is anticipated that
the board will organize.
The faction in control of the Re-
publican party and Postmaster CLARK
are into a hot fight for the selection
of the clerk of the board. Overtures
have been made by the friends of
Schauf, the present incumbent, to the
Democrats as II is admitted that un-
less he can get Democratic support
that he will not be reelected.
Some OF the prominent Democratic
leaders have succumbed 10 the pledges
and are reported being industriously
at work in the interest Of .Clark's can
didate.
If the board votes on party lines
and fails to select for five ballots the
question of choice of clerk will have
to be decided by lot.
The anti-Clark Republicans are OF
the opinion that Schauf's name cannot
be placed in nomination unless by
one of the Democratic members OF
the board and such open playing into
the hands of the enemy is hardly
looked for by any one.
Now that the Republican factions
are disagreeing It would appear to
be good politics for the Democratic
members to stand by a Democrat for
the position until the fifth ballot,
when II will be an even chance as
to which party secures the position.
The section Of the law governing
this Is as follows:
Sec. (2966-4) Sec I. The deputy
state supervisors shall, within fifteen
days after their appointment, in each
year, meet in the office Of the county
or in counties contain

for such officers shall commence at
Or before 1 o'clock D. M, on the day

shall be taken every twenty minutes
until such organization Is effected.

he votes OF at least three MEM
)ers. aud IT, after five ballots no per-
