hard at it to make this years fair
the best ever held on their grounds,
and have secured for the free at
fractions some of the best acts that
the b. f. Keith Co. ever introduced
in their several vaudeville show
houses. The Bessie Veldare troupe
of bicycle riders are without doubt
the best of their kind in theworld
today, and with DeVelde & Zelda
&the artistic equilibrists, present.
ing a superb demonstration of
their equilibrium, with electrical
effects, are sure to make the stage
attractions worth the price of ad-
mission. They have also secured

parachute drop and trapeze acts
IN mid-air. Geo. C.. Cary will show
his big four year old steers here,

5000 lbs, and are vary closely
matched.

bucking broncos, Indian war dance,
etc., is unexcelled. Another fea-
ture worth the 25 cents is three
cracking ball games. Barton has
got together the champion team
she had last year and will play the
strengthened Lyndonville team

Commission Rule and Graft.

The Galveston idea of municipal rule
by commission has taken deep root.
1t was born of necessity and put to the
severest test in recrcating the ruined
city. Other cities adopted it as Il
measure of reform, principally because
it made graft more difficult than be-
fore.
The commission plan in some form
is likely to be adopted in the large
cities where graft is intrenched and
powerful. If either Boston or Buffalo
Or Chicago shall succeed in reducing
graft to Il minimum under commits
sion rule the people of other large mu-
inequalities which have long been ours
ed with misrule will insist upon a
change. Reform parties have often
proved disappointing. Reformed sys-
TEN is worth trying.

Food at Any price.

Attention has recently been. called to
the enormous earnings of the beef and
milk barons. Various explanations
are made as 10 the reason for high
priced food. Perhaps 1t would be
cheaper but for the greed and ambi-
ton of certain men. but primarily the
cause may be found in the changed
conditions Of American life. When
cotton was king food IA cheap.
Before we were a manufacturing
people the products of the soil were
a drug OH the market. 1t didn't pay
to raise meat. vegetables. eggs and
milk for the market. There were then
too few depending daily upon the mar
ket supplies to keep prices active. The
rich acres Of the south produced u sta
pie that all classes used. So cotton
was king. The number Of toilers who
do not produce food yet must eat has
increased many ~hundredfold. This
class is now relatively better paid than
ever before and creates a demand
which spectators can count upon.
