IACLEDE FAIR SEPTEMBER "a
Everybody Win Help to Make It the Best Ever
Held Here and All Will Be Welcome

The fair meeting in the park
last Saturday afternoon was more
largely attended than usual and
everybody present was enthusiasts
tically in favor Of holding one this
year. New officers were elected as
follows: Geo. w. Anderson, presi-
dent; H. C.Lomax, vice-president;
May Jones, secretary and Hal w.
Lomax, treasurer. This is a
splendid corps Of officers and every
one is a hustler and is determined
that the fair this year shall be the
best ever.
But while the officers are willing
to do their share, and more, it is
not right to expect them to do all
the work that must be done. Let
us all do all we can to help make
the fair this year one that we will
be proud Of. Our fairs are always
successes, but this year we can do
better than ever if we will all do
what we can. Boost the fair.
Help advertise it. Let's have the
biggest crowds, the best displays
in all departments and the best
time we have ever had.
AS everything is free, it will be
necessary to raise the necessary
money by subscription, so when
the committee comes to you, re-
spond literally, and make this
great event more your own affair.
The more money raised, the bigger
the premiums and the better the
display. Do your part and it will
encourage others to do theirs.
Those who wish~to offer special
premiums should see the secretary
at once, so that their premiums
may be published with the rest OF
the list, which will be printed
within few days.

Death Of Mrs. H. S. George

Mrs. Ell. S. George of Gorham,
Colo, who had been here some
time caring for her father, the late
J. A. Woollen, during his last i'll
ness at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
2. R. King on route one, died
very suddenly of dilation of the
heart at the home of her brother,
Isaac Woollen, near Meadville last
Friday, August 10, and was buried
in Laclede cemetery Monday,
funeral services being held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Wool
len.
Mary Belle Woollen was born
Aug. IL, 1854, and was married to
Ell. S. George Aug. Is, 1875. To
this union were born six sons,
three of whom have gone before.
A devoted husband, three sons,
Ira of Boulder, Colo, Ralph of
Cripple Greek, Colo, and Edwin
of Gorham, Colo, three sisters,
Mrs. Ella Dickhut of Fowler, Ills,
Mrs. Lizzie Warner of Meadville
and Mrs. Eva King of Laclede,
and two brothers, w. F. Woollen
of New London and Isaac Woollen
of Meadville, are left to mourn her
loss.
She was converted and joined
the M. E. church in her youth and
was one whom to know was to love.
She had many friends here who
sincerely mourn her untimely
death and extend their sympathy
to the sorrowing family.

Canning Compounds and Acids

y
From Wallace's Farmer Des Moines. 10.
In reply to a recent request for
information on canning vegetables,
one of our subscribers recommends
the use of tartaric acid and another
recommends the use Of a CONNER
cial canning powder, which is one
of number that have been ad-
vertised in various mail order
papers.
It might not be out of place to
warn our readers against using
canning compounds and powders,
also the use of any acids which are
used as a preservative. The use
of tartaric acids in foodstuffs
offered for sale is prohibited by the
pure food laws. Medical uthorities
consider it injurious to the health.
The same thing is true in general
way of any canning powder or
fluid which acts as a preservative.
These preservatives keep the food
from spelling, but they do it be-
cause they are germ killers. The
only safe preservative, SO far as
we know, are the things our
grandmothers used, which were
heat and sugar. Amy canning
compound should be looked upon
with very grave suspicion, and
if there is any doubt, sample of
the compound and a statement Of
the facts should be forwarded to
the food commissioner at the state
capital, with request that he report
ON it. 1t is a very grave mistake
to use preservative to save a little
time and labor at the time of can
ming and thus endanger the health
of the whole family.

Opening Of School Postponed

On account of the extreme heat
and the illness of Miss Jardine, as
sistant in the high school, who is

phoid fever, the Laclede public

Der u, one week later than had

BE TESTED

The case OF the City against F. j.

this morning. but, by agreement OF
counsel, 1t was continued until next
Tuesday. at whioh time, the city at

facts.
This VIII be done to expedite mat
ters and bring the cnse to the atten-

II Is stated that the street vendors
OF the city. are determined to test the
constitunonallty of he law, and 10
this end the parties will agree 10 the
facts and submit the question TO a

ton. that the matter may be settled

The contention on the part of the
street vendors is that the llcense
charged them for doing business Is
discrimlnauye. In that they are not
licensed according to the amount Of
capital stock involved. as are other
business concerns, and that the tax
against them is so excessive that II
is virtually prohIbitive.
