BingviIIe Is Saved From Eternal Dis

tIGkieTS Below

Well, sinst the last ishue of the Bugle
appeard the Bingville annual fai- has
came and went. It occurred last Wens-
day, Thursday and Friday and was a
turrible sucksess from every pint Of
view In fac<t them as was present was
unanimous in the opinion that it was
one of the best county fairs ever held
in Bingville and that's saying a good cal
becus Bingvillc fairs have been helt in
our midst ever sinst Heck was a pup
and for some time before that A full
acct Of how the fair come TO be held
after it was a nounced in last weeks
Bugle that il wouldn't be held this
year will be found in the able editorial
on this same page Of the Bugle. Alas,
how often It happens in life that them

proves to be more of a bowling sucksess
than them as you have prepared long in
advance and fused over and lookt for
ward to only to have them turn out to
be fizzles haT the time Sich applies to
the Bingville Fair-although got up on
the spur of the minnit as you might
saw it was nevertheless big sucksess.
When Hen Weathersby, Eph Higgins
and Anne Hillyer read our red hot edi-
torial in last weeks Bugle they felt
stung to the quick, as you might say. so
they calld a meeting immejit and desided
to hold the fair right off, 50 they come
TO the Bugle offs and had a lot of
posters printed in red ink and several
thousand dodgers to skater around and
then they lit out from Bingville in three
different direckshions plastering every
barn and henhouse and fence within a
radius of ten mile of Bingville They
sent fair bills to the co seat and every
buddy they met coming or going on the
they road they would boiler, "They's A

The Leading Paper of the County
Observation-Disclosures

Last week or the week before,
we forget which, we had editorial
in this collum to the effeckt that
there wouldn't be no Bingville an
nual fair this year owing to the
turrible human apathy on the part
of our Bingville Fair committee,
consisting of Hen Weathersby, our
merchant prince & prop. Of the
Bingville gen'l store; Eph Higgins,
our accommodating postmaster,
and Amos Hillyer, our talented lor-
yer, legal lite, J. of the P, Notary
Publick, insurance ag't, and other
things too numerous to mentshion.
In that editorial we took occa-
shion to rip the members of our
fair committee up the back and
down again for their delinquency
as you might call it. We said that
it was a burning shame and dis
grace and a dark splotch on the
fair eskutchun of Bingville that be.
ing as Bingville has held a annual
fair for 10 these many years it was
a sin and shame that this year
we would have to pass by without
a fair. We askt the pertinent quest
shion, What will Hardscrabble
think about u.s." We perdickted
that if we did not hold a county
fair in Bingville this year as usual
that that pusilanimous sheet knowd
as the Hardscrabble Banner would
come out in big type making fun
fof us becuz we had fell down on
holding a fair-the two-faced ed
itor of the Hardscrabble Banner
would point his editorial finger of
skorn at us and hold us UP to the
riddykule of the whole, entire
world.
Well, all we have got to say is
that the red hot editorial we wrote
has bore fruit. Not only did it wake
up the members of the fair COM
mittee to a sense of their response
bility, but woke EN- up to SIGH a
extent that they not only pulled
shoulder to shoulder, but ackshual-
ly worked like dogs, and it gives us
much pleasure to a nounce that
sinst the Bugle containing that
scorching editorial appeard the
Bingville annual county fair has
been held & proved to be one of the
biggest fairs ever held in the his
tory of Bingville. Hen and Eph
and Anne covered theirselfs with
Iglory-they ariz to the occashion-
they done noble! And this only
goes to show what folks kin do
when they are suddintly awoke to
a sense of their responsibilities

As Rev. Moore pasd outen the store

BY this time Rev. Moore was almost
outen hearing and after the pastors de-
parture Bill he pasd around the Jug and
them as was present TUX a nip until the
contents Of the jug was reduced to the
minimum as you might say-in other
words there wasn't a drop left in it.
Them as heard what Bill said 10 Rev.
Moore was Of the opinion that Bill was
right and the parson was wrong. They
patted Bill on the back and told him
that he had made a good speech and had
said the right thing and this proved to
be correct when on the folIering Mon
dy Rev. Moore cald on Bill at his black
smith shop and told Bill he was sorry
for what he had said and asked his for
giveness. Bill, he says, Now your
talking. Parson," and they shuk hands
on it. Bill says he kin be led by most
anybuddy but he'll be goshrammed If
anybuddy kin drive him.

Pertinent Personals

There amt much room left for per-
sonals in this ishue being as too much
spase has already been TUX up by our
editorial on the Bingville Fair and the
acct of the fair itself, also the tilt be-
twixt the Rev. Moore and Bill Hepburn.
However, perhaps this is jest as well,
becuz personals is very skeerce with US
anyhow this week.
Perhaps we will come acrost some per-
sonals before the next ishue of the
Boogle appears. Be Assured that if we
do you shall have them, Dear reader.
It's a turrible queer thing about per-
sonals-now some weeks there is lots
OF personals, in fact more personals
than we have room for and then suddint
there will come week when personals
will be skeercer than hens teeth.
However, we persoom this is as it
ort TO be-we can't expect personal items
to run the same week after week. Some
weeks the demand exceeds the supply
and some weeks, vice versa.
And yet the general average on per
sonals is very good, all things con,id-
cred.
We allus like to give as mary per-
sonals in the Boogle as possible becuz
folks allus likes to see their names in
the paper, and if they don't see them in
the paper they allus sit insulted and call
and ask for their paper TO be stopt
coming.
If you happen to hear of any person
ais from time to time why don't you
inform us of same? We would take it
as a great favor even if they are about
yourself
1t amt very often that we write as
many good personals in the same amount
of spase as we have did above.

vitals and feel the lash Of publick

vitals and feel the lash of publick
sentiment on their lazy backs.
We regard this fair being held as
a great triumf for the Bingville
Bugle. If we had not of lit into
the fair committee as we done there
wouldn't Of been no fair, but becuz
we showed them up before the
folks of Bingville and surrounding
country they become spurred on to
SIGH extent that they went right
ahead and give a far that was a
large success.
All praise and credit to Hen
Weathersby, Eph Higgins and
Anne Hiliyer, becuz they suckseed-
ed in giving the Bingvillc Fair af-
ter they had give up giving it. We
wouldn't be surprised if the names
of these gents would go laundering
down the corridors of time becuz
of what they have did.
A full acct of the fair apears in
another collum of this ishue of the
Bugle and in closing this editorial
we might add that now is the time
to subscribe for the Bugle and also
the time to pay cash for your sub
scripshions in advance no others
need apply-them as have not paid
any cash in advance and have
therefore proved to be dead beets

erus and we don't want no more of

THE NATIONAL CANDY BILL.

Not very long ago the use OF candy
was confined to children, matinee
girls and their mothers. but recently
men have been INDUCING their sweet
tooth, with the result that Uncle
Sans candy bill is now s130,o00,000
year. 1t is said by experts that the
enormous increase in the use Of
candy is the direct outcome of a cor
responding decrease in the use OF
alcohol. If this be true, and it prob
ably is, there are worse things in the
world than the candy-eating habit.
Physicians are pretty generally agreed
that the two tastes are Numerically
opposite, though alcohol and candy are
near relatives from a chemical stand.
point Alcohol, 1t is claimed, destroys
the taste for sweets, and it is rare
to find heavy drinker who cares for
desserts, let alone giving himself up
to the delights of candy Correspond
ingly the heavy candy eater is not
likely to be the person who has
strong liking for whisky, beer or wine.
A foremost expert on health, and
the reasons for it, Dr. Woods Hutchin-
son, has lately written most entertain
ingly of the beneficial results OF the
generous use of candy. In his argu-
ments he combated some of the old
time ideas of our grandmothers, who
held that candy did not compose a
proper food.

ties with parents for as much candy
as they deemed proper for the child

the word of the learned physician that
it produces muscular activity, nerv-
Gus energy and creative faculty nee

solely as an article of food, candy is

THE GUARANTY KNOCKOUT.

In the federal district court OF Ne
braska sitting in Lincoln two judges,
Circuit Judge Van Deyanter and Dis
trict Judge Munger, have just concur
red in decision declaring the
state law compelling all state bank
ing institutions to contribute to
the deposits-guarant fund to be
unconstitutional, null and void.
Nebraska was one of the first
states to enact such law, its basic
principle being the enforced contribu-
ton by every bank to a common fund
for paying the depositors of failed
banks. The two judges in their decis-
ion hold that this is depriving one per-
son or institution of his or its money
to pay the debts of another and that
it is taking such money without due
process of law, thereby violating the
constitutional guaranty of rights. The
state, which was the defendant in this
suit, will appeal from this decision to
the United States supreme court The
reasoning of the federal court is de-
clared by the New York Commercial
to be sane and its conclusion logical
The same paper says:
The ruling appears to be logical,
sound and altogether reasonable and
is in strict accordance with the pre-
dictions BY many bankers and lawyers
that the compulsory deposits-guaranty
laws would never stand the constitu-
tional test when once they got before
the federal courts. 1t appears to be
as plain as a pikestaff that bank that
protestingly and against the will of
its officers is compelled by law to
draw money from its vaults for the
payment Of another banks obligations

lated. Exactly how the state expects
to defend such law before the Unit
ed States supreme court is not easy
to imagine.

week, may prove notable and his

committee, composed of ten leading
members of the denomination in Iowa,
that it will be able to draft report
which will be adopted by the state asso-

If this is done the entire polity of the
Congregational churches of the state
of Iowa will be radically changed. This
report will be printed and sent out to
the churches and ministers for their
consideration and will be discussed
and acted upon in tae spring meetings
of the local associations of which
there are twelve in the state, and then
will be presented for adoption at the

ton.

churches into closer touch with each

somewhat similar in effect to what
they formerly got from tobacco or
from whisky.
In the manufacture of candy the
United States leads the world both in
the quality and quantity of the pro-
duct. American mechanical skill,
which has brought pre-eminence in
SO many directions, has had its in
fluence here, and candy, so largely
hand made in other parts of the
world, is machine product in the
United States. The result has been
the opportunity OF cheapeniag the
cost while at the same time maintain
ing the high grade Of the materials
used. Moreover, this has helped in

make candy much more cleanly as
the amount of hand labor is decreas
