A very interesting meeting WAS held
in the new church chapel on last Tues
day afternoon. The subject Of unfer-
mented wine was discussed. The fact
that the Savior never used the word
wine 10 his instructions and preparation
for the sacrament was emphasized. He
always used either the fruit OF the
vine" Or the cup in speaking Of this
most sacred OF all emblems. ARsin,
wine was used in the admonition.
Look not thou upon the vine when i
is red, when it giveth its color in the cup

HEBRADFORDFAIR

Tuesday, the opening day of the Fair,
saw a light attendance, but the grand
show got under way, which is all that is
expected the first day. The morning was
entirely occupied getting the exhibits To-
Gated on the grounds and otherwise get
ting things ready. The Green Race was
the only race of the afternoon, but it held
fair amount of attention although it was
not very exciting. An innovation was
giving the stage attractions on Tuesday,
but the shows were a pleasing interlude
during the afternoon.
Like Tuesday, Wednesday had typi-
cal Fair day, hot and clear, the attend
ance reached around 1000. The general
features were the same as on Tuesday eX-
cept that a few extra vendors of fair pro-
ducts were to be found, and the noise of
fair whistles along with toy balloons
transformed the upper grounds into
child's paradise. The morning was quiet

when the horses were brought in front of
the judges stand for judging, and the an
nouncement of prize winners. The cattle
followed the first of the afternoon before
the racing began. The procession of sock,
cattle and oxen, headed by the Band, pa
raded in front of the grand stand, and re-
ceived much applause as did the two span
of Morgan horses driven by Mrs. Hall and
Robert Niblock and owned by A. Fuller
ton Phillips. The racing and the special
ties took the time until late in the after
noon.
Thursday, although the last day of the
Fair, was well patronized as the intense

Working the way through col
lege is still open to the ambitious
youth or maid but it is attended
with more difficulties than in the
old days when it was considered
quite the natural thing for the
boy who wanted to go to college
to work his way. In the first way
place the expenses of living have
increased fifty per cent in the last
twenty-five years and the wage for
labor has not increased as much, so
more work goes into the process
than formerly. 1t is still possible
feat and particularly in the smaller
colleges but it means that pure grit
will be needed by the boy or girl
who goes to college that way.
Some of the western colleges are
giving the matter especial attention
with the result that dining clubs
cooperative rooming houses, etc,
cut the cost considerably. The
University of Missouri has a spec
tally Zine record IN this branch OF
economic education so that a
course can be taken very comfort
ably on from three to four hundred
dollars year. OF course the sum-
mer vacations are the money
making times for the students and
this is the time that it takes the
least out of them to work and
work hard for the coming ischool
year. This fall is the time for
the seniors in the high schools all
over the land to begin to think
seriously whether they will golto
college, trade schools or begin at
once to earn a living. Hap-hazard
planning just at this period in life
is liable to spoil whole life.

Thaw is quoted as saying re-
garding Evelyn Thaw and her
return to the stage 81 have lost
all that is dear to me in this world"
Considering that his mother has
weathered ten years of storm and
stress which his actions have caused
to rage about the Thaw name,
considering that his sisters have
gone to him at every important
turn in his case, this is about the
gratitude one would expect him
to show. 1t is the way of the
world fortunately that mother love
needs but little to feed upon to
flourish.

School began Monday. 1t is a
big school in point of attendance
and we trust that the years work
may equal the attendance both in
quality and quantity. Bradford
has an asset in her schools which
ought to be appreciated. A town
without good school facilities can
not expect to grow and prosper as
live blood is not going to locate
where the educational advantages
are small. Don't think of the
school tax as a burden, think of it
as a fine investment not only for
the coming generation but for the
material prosperity of the place.
