NOISE AND THE NERVES.

We have recorded the case of n
tradesman who was indicted at the
Surrey Quarter Sessions for having
attempted to commit suicide. It was
pleaded on his behalf that he had suf-
fered from insomnia brought on by
the noise made at night by the motor
omnibuses and trans which passed
the premises at which he resided, and
he stated himself that he had been
unable to sleep owing to the trafic.
This was an extreme case, perhaps,
and possibly this particular victim Of
street noises was q man of abnormal
ly nervous temperament.
But no mans nerves are entirely
proof against the sapping influence OF
disturbed and interrupted sleep, and.
unhappily, cause and effect In this
case are very apt to react upon and
intensity each other. The nervous fear
OF not being able to sleep Is often
enough the primary cause OF sleepless-
ness, and thus an irregular series OF
intermittent noises tends to induce,
especially In sleeper awakened by
them, state OF nervous apprehension
which may lead In the end to severe
and pronounced insomnia. This 10 q
very serious matter. not merely for
bad sleepers themselves but for all
who have to depend on their services.
No man can do his work efficiently by
day IL he cannot sleep at night, and
when public servants like Sir Henry
Morris and other of our correspond
ents tell US how great and growing
the evil IL, It Is high time for to be-
stir itself and insist on a remedy being
found and applied.
or course the trafiic Of great city
can never be entirely stilled. There
must always be occasional passfngs
even In the quietest streets. These
we must put up with as best we may,
as we must also with the continuous
roar of the great thoroughfares W
to a late hour OF the night. But these
are not the enemies OF sleep Of which
Sir Henry Morris specially complains.
II is the multiplication OF the motor
car and the Needless sounding OF Its
raucous horn In the small hours that
Justly provoke his Indignation and re-
Observation-Disclosures Times.

THE PEOPLES THANKS

The county fair was a success
this year. Whya Because the
people woke up to realization of
all the good that comes from an
annual gathering that brings out
the people and encourages them
to take greater interest in the wei
fare Of their community. Besides
this the fair aroused greater inter
est than ever in putting before the
public exhibits of the products OF
the valley. and it can be stated
here that the exhibits this year OF
farm products. farm machinery,
fruits, flowers. women's work and
the work of the pupils Of the pub
lie schools, were the best ever seen
at a county fair that is practically
in the experimental stage.
Last year the fare was held for
three days. 1t was good fair
and the exhibits were specially
good. This year the fair was held
under different system, one that
was nearer to the people and put
into their own hands the means
whereby they could feel that it was
a real occasion for their personal
activity and interest. And this
was brought about by the board
of supervisors, who showed a very
commendable spirit by taking the
county fair into their own hands,
as the peoples representatives.
The appointment of fair COM
mission was a master stroke. lhe
people became interested at once
and everyone felt that he or she
was a partner in proposition to
do great things for the entire COM
munity. and with such a feeling il
is no wonder that we hear words
of praise for our second annual
county fair and for the board oi
supervisors and the fair commits
sion.
1t is no easy task to get up q
county fair and there are many
trying moments in arranging the
details of an affair of this kind
which must be managed in bust.
nesslike manner in order to secure
success.
The fair commission worked
hard and faithfully. They gave ur
their time, day after day, planning
for successful fair under the
auspices of the people themselves
They showed commendable pub
lie interest by the manner in which
they carried out their program
and they earned the thanks o
every man and woman in the
county, for the successful manage
ment of the county fair Of 1911.
We are glad to give the thanks
of the people of the valley to the
board of supervisors and thei
very efficient fair commission, ane
we feel what has been done thi,
year can be repeated next year
under the same commission and {
greater and better county fair vii
be the result.
