Fair Notes.

Those who know a good race say
the races were extra good this year.
In some races there were as many as
nine starters.
Mrs. B. U. Wells, we'll known in
musical circles, presided at the piano
in the exhibit of A. r. Cowles on the |
grounds last week.
Premium awards, summary of races,
and the baseball score will all be found
in this paper. II you think this does
not mean lot of work, come ard stay
at the MONITOR Office some fair week.
By the chug- chug where the gaso-
line engine demonstration was held
we should say there were at least 100
different engines working over time.
There really were half dozen kinds
represented.
A novel demonstration was made
at III. T. Seaver's booth Thursday
when 25O loaves of bread were baked
from one hod of coal in a Sterling
range and given away. The -four was
furnished by the Tower Co. and was
their Regular" brand.
The fair association wish to state
that the report circulated Wednesday
night and telephoned into several
towns in the county that the admis-
sion price on Thursday would be 25c,
was not authorized by them but was
started by some irresponsible person,
and they take this method to clear
themselves of all blame.

SEAFoRD, Del, May 4.-EarIy this morn
ing while fishing with wire nets between
here and Vienna, Md, James Bennett,

out. Spear purchased the sturgeon and
the roe.

too. As soon as he came up he called to
the men standing around to coine to
his assistance. He declared he would
swim across the Nanticoke river With the
sturgeon in order TO save his money.

WHEAT PROSPECTS AND PRICES

Advance reports indicate that the crol
bulletin Of the government, to be issued
early in May, will make it necessary tc
scale down previous estimates Of the pros
pective wheat yield of the country. Cur
rent reports concerning the condition ol
the winter wheat crop are not as roseate
as the returns in April indicated, the con.
tinued cool weather having retarded the
growth OF the plant, although it is yet toe
early to ascertain what permanent dam.
age has been wrought. However, the
crop raised, whether larger or smaller
than the record-breaking production OF
last year, is practically certain to COM
mand a higher price. This is assured by
foreign crop advices.
According to reports from abroad, the
wheat outlook in the United Kingdom,
France and Germany is far from promis-
ing. UnfavorabIe weather has stunted
the growth of the plant and the estimated
yield in those countries is fully 80 per
cent. less than the normal. The winter
wheat crop has deteriorated about 20 per
cent. in Austria-HunRary, and is almost
a total failure in Ronmania. Russia,
Americas greatest competitor in wheat in
the European markets, reports most un-
promising outlook. Cold weather and
high winds have greatly damaged the
crop in the wheat belt in Southwestern
Russia, and in other sections the wheat
crop has been neglected on account of
political troubles among the peasantry.
Russia is now importing American wheat
fer its own use, instead of being in the
market as a seller, as is usually the case.

Dear Sir: Not one man in ten know

he paints. 1t depends on the paint.
With one paint, your job will take II
gallons and cost $50 for paint and labor;
with another IL and cost $50;
with another IA and cost 70;
with another 16 and cost 80:
with another Is and cost 90;
with another 20 and cost 100;
with another % and cost ITO;
Here's an example. Professor Irvine
of the Academy, Mercerburg, Pa, painted
the floors of his dormitories every year,
one year with one paint, next with the
paint OF the other dealer thereto divide
the business between them-till Devoe
came to town.
The job took 80 gallons; takes 60 Devoe.
The difference, 80 gallons, $3.50. He
didn't know he was losing $3.50 a year

What is commonly called heartburn is

CONTRIBUTIONS OF PARTIES

president Roosevelt, it is said,
is considering the advisability OF
asking Congress to adopt a law
by which a national appropria-
ton shall be made to pay the ex-
penses of political parties during
a campaign. The idea seems odd
at first, but there is considerable
merit in it. There is much dis.
satisfaction because of the pres
ent method of raising money.
Candidates for Office and those
who enjoy place, because of their
partisanship, are called upon to
supply most of the funds needed,
and other contributions are Sc
cured from wealthy men, most OF
whom expect something in return
or have some personal interest
in the result of the balloting.
"The expenses of campaigning
are so heavy that it is practically
impossible for a man of very linn
tied resources to aspire to po-
itical position. Even in a nomi-
nation for Congress, in most
cases the wealth of the prospec-
tive nominee and his ability to
swell the campaign funds of his
party are considered. This is
one of the reasons why our ma
tional Congress contains so few
representatives of the wage earn
ing class, although in European
parliaments this element of citi-
zenship always has very large
representation in the national
law-making bodies.
Doubtless the corporations
and the very rich men who have
been carrying the burdens of po'
litical campaigns would not OBJ
iect to a plan that would relieve
them of such responsibilities.
The idea of government contri-
buttons or appropriations is a
new one that will not, because of
its novelty, make much headway
at first, but it is a notion that is
we'll worth considering. Reform
in the matter of contributions for
campaign purposes is impera-
lively needed. Rich men, be-
cause of their wealth, should not
be looked upon as mere sources
of money to be tapped on all oc-
easions by political managers and
workers. ."-EUening Journal.

FRAUD ORDER FIGHT
ON IN THE HOUSE
Crumpacker Advocates Judicial
Review, While Mann Thinks
Law Should Be Rigid.

WASHINGTON. -. O.. January THE
House to-day passed bill providing for
% judicial review Of orders excluding per
sons from the use of United States mail
facilities. after debate extending over
the major portion Of the day.
I'm presenting reasons why the bin
should be passed. Mt. Crumpacker tIu-
dianal said the power given the Post
naster-General under the statutes TO issue
fraud orders WIS not at all an admins
trativo discretion. 10 rather partook OF
tho nature NJ 90 police power for tho reg
ulatio1 of The morals of the people OF the
country.
Mr. Crumpacker contended that the
whole fraud order law was an unusual
proceeding. that II It had been confined
ID institutions and practices that were es-
seutaiiy fraudulent or We're Inherently
bad and criminal. "such as green goods
concerns. lotteries. ny-by-night institu-
ti0us ert-rich-quiclS establishments" as
originally contemplated by Congress, there
wolld bee no complaint against IT.
Mr Mann Glinois) read several ad-
vert isencuts. which ne said seemed to
show that concerns We're stin doing bus
mess that ought 90 come within the
scope of fraud orders. Tie said the bill
was defective. and that there should be
no letting down Of the bars 20 permit
doubtful concerns TO fleece the public.
