SOME GOOD EXHIBITS
AT COUNTY FAIR
There is Room for Much I'm

The Bear flake County far
opened We lnesday, the 22nd, a,

the opening, due no doubt to the
equinoxial starm havil lg thrown
damper over all concerned. -,
President Yeung and Secretary
Holmes stated that owing to the
very busy season with the farmers
few entries had been made.
The fruit exhibit was very
creditable showing, and is conclu.
siye evidence that few sections. can
raise finer qui lity of apples than
was on exhibition at Paris this
week. Oae will find upon examin-
alton of the vegetables some of the
finest grown in the Rocky Noun
tain region, and if the county had a
fair building, as it should, greater
interest would be taken by all con-
cerned and this county could and
would have fair second to none in
the state. The exhibit Of fancy
work deserves more than passing
notice.
The exhibit Of stock is not up to
the standard this fall and it is with
regret that we notice that more in
tsrest is not taken by everyone in
the county.
The race program was enjoyed BY
all present. "Teddy" owned by f
Strong of Montpelier and driven by
Miss Gertie Mcclure won the first
two beats in the mile pace. Miss
Mcclure showed great skill III
handling her horse and out.claseed

RUCTION
And Death from the Domestic Use Of
GAsOlene.

oOCVACuOe
In the United States no hou,
passes without a house beng sci
atre by a gasolene explosion.
The igniting of the vapor from
gasolene burns to death more
than twenty persons every week
and dangerously burns more
than sixty. Its burns are sc
deep they leave ugly scars. 1t
has married the beauty of many
a maiden, but most Of the burned
were mothers
The gasolene sounds a fire
alarm IN advance, and the bis
tered person whose carelessness
caused the explosion runs
screaming for help. This brings
the neighbors and the fire de
partment at once. The fact that
the alarm is given quickly, and
the added fact that the heat from
an explosion is sustained but for
an instant, so that only light ma
terials in which a blaze is easily
extinguished are fired by it, make
the average loss from gasoIene
fires but $3.50, which is less than
one-fourtn the average cost of
all fires. Still the annual loss
from gasolene fires approximates
"a, 900, 600.
DANGEROUS FOR USE IN HOMES
Gasolene is the highest and
most dangerous fluid derived
from petroleum. Naptha, which
is little less dangerous, is usually
called gasolene. Both continu.
ously give off a vapor that makes
an explosive of the air with which
