WHAT is the matter with organ
ling a county fair association and
purchasing 40 acres of land for the
same while it can be had at a rea-
sonable figure? We believe there
are 100 men in the valley that will
each take four shares of SIS each
make SO, 900; we believe another
100 can be found that will take two
SIS shares, making $4,000; and
another 100 that will take one SIS
share each, making 81, 500, grand
total of S17, 500. The land would
cost in the neighborhood Of IS 900
and shaping the grounds and the
construction Of buildings will cost
as much or more. When the in
stitutlon is once established, it
would doubtlessly be self-support-
ing with an assured and constantly
increasing patronage. 1t will be
worth to the county its cost every
year. It would be a source of pride
to one and all. These are our
ideas, crudely expressed, and
we would like to have your views
on this subject condensed into 100
words. Who comes first?

SGccial 10 Tie Washington Herald
Annapolis. Md. Nov 29.-The football
team composed OF fourth-class midshlp-
mon defeated the eleven Of Baltimore
Polytechnic Institute here by Is to O. II
was the annual game between the two
teams and was the principal sporting
event connected with Thanksgiving Day
in Annapolis
The ''Plcbes' greatly outweighed the
Polys. but the latter played a plucky
game throughout. especially during the
second half. holding the middies down to
one touchdown. whereas they had effected
two scores in the first period.
The Plebes' first touchdown came early
in the first half and was the result OF a
long forward pass from Erwin 60 Cobb
The second score was made toward the
close Of tine half after the Plebes had
worked the bail for distance Of about
40 yards on straight line plays. Jouett
made The tally on plunge through the
center OF the line. The second half de-
loped some more spirited work on the
part of the BaltimOre8ns. but the Plebes
managed To get a third touchdown after
a fine run Of 90 yards by Flint. Erwin
kicked one of the goals
Although the Polys kept plugging away
and made fairly good gains at times. they
could not keep the good work going. and
at no time did they seriously endanger the
Plebes' goal line.
