Madero's meeting with President de la
Rarra at the National Palace was I'M
nressiye The former rebel chief had
never before met the President. and as
Seror de Ia Earra entered a corridor from
his office. escorted by his military staff.

cf the triumphant chief Of the revolu-
tion. Both men. short Of stature, were
overshadowod by the guardsmen of Ma

Executive. The two men talked for a
few minutes.
"a great deal has been done" said
President de la Barra, but there IS much
ahead Of us. From the way in which you
have been received in the capital | am
confident all will be accomplished that
should be. and with the support of the
populace."
Madero expressed his confidence in
President de la Barra, saying he was
glad that Mexico had so eminent and
bonorab BILE a man at the head OF its gov
ernment.
The parting Of the two men was cor

the venturesome colored boy who pokes his head
through hole in sheet. The time-honored side
show" or carnival is there with its snake charm
ers and giants and dwarfs and the fortune tellers
and popcorn vendors have the old elusive way OF
inducing you to part with your coin. Even the
fans and badges and tiny flags and gold" medals
of yesteryear look and cost the same as they did
far back as memory can carry you. About
the only new things at the county fair intact are
the moving picture shows in their somber black
tents and the ice cream cones that have sup
planted the onetime "fve-cent dish with two
spoons.
The men who have been conducting county fairs
long enough to make comparisons will tell you
that, all in all, it costs just about much TO
hold fair nowadays as 1t did a decade or two
ago, presuming, that is that you hang up" about
much in prizes for the show and speed classes.
Some items have been cut over the expenses in
the old days whereas other OUTLAWS have in
creased, owing to the increased cost of living
some other influence. For thing, the
fair managers save some money in heralding the
fair. For the sentiment of the thing. they still
have to make of some of those gaudy posters
in blue and red and yellow that from time out Of
mind have filled childish dreams every autumn.
but they don't spend money to plaster these
posters on every barn and fence and covered
bridge in the county, they wont to do in
the old days. AS the number of country news
papers has increased they have provided a better
and cheaper way of telling the people of the de-
lights Of the coming fair. On the other hand.

wants to be right up to date and have an arship
flight each day, will cost more than in the old
days. A parachute jumper an acrobat who
did the thrilling slide for life" did not demand
half much money, usually, as the expert aero
pianist who wants fee of $500 and upward
feature of the county fair that hasn't changed
with the lapse OF time is the season for holding
the event. The conclusion of the harvest which
leaves the farmer comparatively care-free and
let us hope, with money in his pocket dictates the
date of this annual festival. In parts Of
the country September is the favorite month for
fairs, but elsewhere October has the call and
quite few of these agricultural shows and trot
ting meets are held in early November Active

brand won't be the least bit like the od-time
event that was awaited with more anticipation
than was bestowed upon the Fourth of July
or the annual visit of the monster and mas
todonic united shows" Perhaps this cherished
idol of youth may not have been a really and
truly county fair" for not all county fairs
enjoy the prestige of location at the county seat,
but aster all. that is minor matter in the eyes
of the outsider and no man can ever be convinced
that the world ever held a more important "agri-
cultural exposition" than the at which
youngster he exhibited his chickens peddled
peanuts sold scorecards.
That, as has been said fhe od-fashioned county
fair hasn't been changed beyond recognition, even
to this day, is all the more matter of surprise
when we take into account the revolutionary
changes that have taken place in other phases
Of rural life. The introduction of rural free de-
livery, for instance has done away with the
necessity and the opportunity for those friendly
gatherings at the crossroads store when the farm
ers who drove over for the mail stole a little
leisure in which to swap stories. Similarly
monograph in every farm house has somewhat
dulled the appetite for those periodic concerts
at the little red school house. even the presence
on the roads Of those tipping, screeching automo-
biles has knocked all the romance out Of those
buggy rides in the moonlight when old Dobbin
allowed to find his way and set his own
pace.
Not only has the county fair withstood the
ravages Of time and the onslaught of modern
invention, but in some respects It has benefited
by lapse Of time That is, many fair Of the
present day is vastly bigger and better than
the corresponding event on the same grounds
score or more of years ago. 1t is not due solely
TO the natural increase of population, ethics.
yet TO that "backto-the-soil" crusade which has
swept over the land. The latter has helped how
ever, because 1t has added to the population of
many a rural district men and who are
engaging in farming for pleasure as well as for
profit and who enter their products at the
by fairs a matter of pride just a breeder Of
fine dogs will travel all over the country to dis
play his blooded CANNES at the big dog shows
though the prizes would not pay the express
charges on the animals
The automobile despised though 1t be In many
quarters, has had a big influence in bringing
greater prosperity to our latter-day county fairs
The advent of the horseless vehicles and the fad
for touring taken in conjunction with that i'm
provement of country roads which has been go
ing on this past decade SO, has made 1t possible
for farmers to travel greater distances to the

for the use of farmers, take in" anywhere from
three to half dozen fairs held within a radius
of say twenty or thirty miles. OF course. this
swells the gate receipts and it also results in
the exhibit classes being better filled
On the other hand, the motor car has brought
to the county fairs certain patronage from city
folk who almost never attended these rural exhibit
lions in the old days. Some of the city folks
those who have friends relatives in the country,
with whom they hold a reunion at the fair.
Others one-time rural residents who, having
gone to town and made their pile" find that
they come back via the automobile when
they would not take the trouble if it meant getting
up early in the morning to catch excursion
train. And finally there are the city folk who
have neither kith nor kin the ties OF old
associations to draw them to the fair, but who
motor to the autumn mecca as sort of lark
and who find 1T quite novel experience in
its way the rural resident does to journey to
the city to inspect exposition or great amuse
ment park. This latter portion of the influx from
the city may not add to the gaiety of the occa-
sion, particularly for the country people at the
county fair but their contributions at the ticket
wondow we'll worth having and generally ap
precated, for, be 1t known, the average county
fair is conducted by farmers and other members
Of the community who can't wholly overlook the
financial side
Yet another new influence that has helped the
county fair in our time is the suppression Of
betting and the abandonment of racing at most
of the race courses the large cities. Racing
of one kind or another goes on at almost all our
country fairs and whereas 1t is not supposed to
be accompanied by betting there opportunities
for quiet wagers whereas the mere racing in itself
is sufficient to attract horse owners and others
who love the sport for itself Just here, it may
be added that most fairs throughout the United
States are now conducted on a clean, moral basis
Liquor selling on the grounds or nearby has long
been prohibited in most localities and outand-out
gambling devices have been barred from many
fair grounds these many years. but latterly, in
response to the moral awakening that has swept
over the country. fair managers are showing a
disposition to keep out most Of those raffes and
games of chance which, perhaps innocent
in themselves, might have bad influence on the
youthful mind.
This Punishment of some of the old-time catch
penny schemes has not, however, so altered
things that the man who has been out in the
world cannot recognize the county fair OF his
youth when he comes back to 1t. He will see at
the old stand all the weght-testing and lung
testing machines, the oldfashioned merrygo-round
and the stands selling peanuts and sandwiches

Indeed If person is ambitious for success in
the competitions at the county fair, II is abso-
lutely necessary to be forehanded in preparation
This applies with equal force whether it is case
of John seeking blue ribbons for his sheep and
cattle or Mary seeking the grand prizes for her
cakes and pies and preserves. And OF course 1t
