BOOSTING
Started For This Years Knox
Co. Fair
Which Promises To Be
Better Than Ever

On behalf of the Board of Directors
of the Knox County Agricultural So
ciety, desire to announce to the peo-
pie of Knox county, that very salts
factory lease, for a term of years,
has been secured from the owners OF
Lake Hiawatha Park, thus assuring to
Knox county and vicinity fair to be
held annually.
The fair this year will be held Sep
tember 70, 10, ID and Is. While this
may seem a long way off to some, yet
now is the time for everybody to COM
mence making preparations to make
an exhibit at the fair. Every farm and
every household has something worthy
of exhibition, so commence your prep
arations at once and assist the Board
of Directors TO make this year great
success
Last year, if you remember, you
were tolu through the columns of this
paper that Knox county would hold
the best fair that was ever held in the
county. Were you misled by that state
ment? We think not, but we will leave
the matter 70 you, and after you have
passed Judgment we feel sure you viii
agree that it was as we said it would
be, "The Best Ever"
This year again we have a Board Of
Directors that are fun OF ambition,
energy and ability. A director in
charge of each department has been
appointed the various committees in
charge Of all the detaus that go 20
make up a great far have been set to
work, The premium list, which has
been greatly enlarged, especially in
the children's department, has gone to
the press and wnl be ready for dlstri-
button within the next few days. Drop
the secretary line so that he may
send you copy
In conclusion, let me say that the
board Of directors are determined to
use the same motto this year as was
used last Better Than Ever" but
the entire populace Of the county must
help in order to accomplish this
So let everybody boost the Knox
county fair and thus show to our sis
ter counties that we are no longer be-
hind the times.

turns a lot OF common things into gold.
The way of the transgressor is hard,

Some people might do great things, IL
it didn't take them forever to hit the
nail on the head.
You will never come back with the golden
fleece, unless you go after it early in the

The preaching can be lodged in a thou

Labor Waste.

On an average of $4,000 workmen
in the United States are idle every
year as a result of strikes or lockouts.
The suffering and misery this entails,
to say nothing of its economic effect
upon the country, are entirely too
great to attempt to estimate. It ought
to constitute a very effective argu-
ment for Industrial peace and for
arbitration as the means of settling
labor disputes.
In no way can this enforced idle
ness be other than viewed as economic
waste. The country is simply throw
ing away that much of its natural re-
sources. Labor is the last thing in
the world that should be destroyed or
paralyzed. We may talk of "scien-
tific management" in business all we
please, but we will make little real
Roadway toward ideal management
until we have eliminated this tre-
mendous element of labor waste. And
what are we doing to eliminate It?
Strikes or lockouts are just as liable
to occur today as they were ten or
twenty years ago, so far as any eff
fective legislation the people have
taken to prevent them is concerned.
But Europe's waste in this regard
is far greater than ours. According
to recent statistics on strikes and
lockouts in the old countries, an aver
age for Four years shows that in the
three countries, Great Britain, France
and Austria, about 100000 days
work are lost from these causes. That
must be one of the causes of poverty
in those countries. Europe's loss,
however, is no valid excuse for ours.

Breadth of view.

One of the chief obstacles TO the So
luton Of big problems is the lack of
breadth Of view. Too many people
look at every question through a mar
row slit which prevents them from
seeing more than one side and often
more than a part of that side.
truth, which is not sufficiently
recognized and appreciated, Is that
human vision is at best limited and
circumscribed II we look at the
heavens with the naked eye we see
certain stars and planets. II we look
again through a telescope we see
many more objects in the armament
not previously visible. AS the lens of
the telescope is perfected and becomes
stronger we see farther into the
reaches of space and make constantly
new discoveries.
So with the capacity of man to
view and grasp all sorts of subjects.
There are folks who can never see
farther than their own immediate
whose vision can take in city or n
state. Those who can view a question
from the broad standpoint Of national
welfare are comparatively small in
number, and those who have ability
to grasp a world problem and trace
cause and effect for all humanity ex-
tending through the years and many
generations are, rare, indeed
One of the needs of the day is
greater breadth of view. No one will
deny that in this respect our twentieth
century will average higher than any
preceding era of the worlds history
and that the main factors in this
change have been spreading intelli-
gence, popular education, books,
newspapers, travel and improved COM
munication. These factors are still
at work, still widening our breadth of
view and are the best promise of the
continued progress of mankind.

in His decalogue of prohibitions the
bearing of false witness, and Solomon
and Shakespeare alike agreed on the
priceless value of a good name. The
former said It was rather to be de-
sired than great riches" and the
great poet esteemed money as but
trash IN comparison. The modern law
recognizes this ancient standard of
value when 1t fortifies the name and
reputation of the individual by every
legal device consistent with reason
SANDER and libel are severely dealt
with and the tendency is toward more
restrictive laws for the punishment
of printed falsehood.
But the false witness in private is
often more subtle and insidious than
the one that comes out in public ex-
preston, for the latter is more likely
to be corrected or retracted. Some
times the most innocently intended
gossip leads to far-reaching evil con-
sequences, so the safe thing to do is
to form the habit not to speak i'll
about people and never to repeat what
you do not know to be the truth.
