DOINGS FRIDAY
Inter County Fair Association

The sixth annual Watertown Inter
County fair was launched at a largely
attended meeting in the city hall last
evening in which local business men
predominated while the country dis
tricts were fairly well represented.
The meeting was an enthusiastic one
and many matters pertaining to the
welfare of the association were taken
up and freely discussed. The secre-
tary's and treasurer's reports were
read and showed the finances to be in
a healthy condition. 1t was the sense
of the meeting, however, that the
grandstand should be enlarged this
season and more room added in at least
one of the exhibition buildings. To
meet this expense ways and means
committee was appointed which will
sell stock and solicit funds for this
purpose.
Three directors were elected at the
meeting to replace those whose terms
had expired w. A. Beurhaus was
elected to succeed himself Charles
Harte was elected in place of John G.
Cruel, who has removed to Canada,

was elected to succeed himself. All
the other officers were reelected. Fol

for it's prairie dogs and buffaloes had
a lawyer for a citizen who made use
of the natural waterfall in the Mis-

This small beginning grew to such

SOME IDEAS ON POLITENESS
Reasons for Display Of Good Breed
ing, Which is Divided Into
Two ki.ae

P~oliteness consists in ~concealing
from other people the fact that they
annoy you, says Thomas L. Mason In
L~ippincott's.
If a mar springs up from his seat In
a crowded car to give 1t to a woman
that Is politeness. II he permits his
wife to drag a chair form one room
into the other, while he Is smoking
and reading the evening paper, that
Is innocent absorption.
II pays to be polite-when it doesn't
cost anything.
Politeness originated in the garden
of Eden, when Adam fell merely TO
oblige Eve. (And yet they say h a
man Is selfish!)
We should always be polite to our
inferiors-in the presence of our SUI
periors. Nothing is more effective.
The man who is truly polite never
forgets himself. Such a man, II ne Is
obliged to kick another man down.
stairs, will always see that his hat ID
sent out to him.
Children are naturally impolite, I'M
I'll they are taught that they cannot
hope to make much money without.
Always be polite when you are bor'
rowing money from a friend. Remem-
Der that it doesn't cost anything to
give him the impression that you are
going TO pay him back.
There are two kinds Of ~politeness;
politeness to yourself and ~politeness
to others.
When you come home late at night,
for example, even if you are very
tired, always remove your hat and
coat before getting into bed. 1t Is
little attentions like that that consti.
tute you a gentleman. At the same
time, do not disturb your wife If you
can possibly avoid it. 1t is the height
of rudeness to awaken a sleeping
lady.
The polite man is always welcome
everywhere. That is, almost every,
where-except at a bargain counter, a
fire or a financial panic.
Then he is de trop.
