RECONSTRUCTION
BACKBONE OF STATE AND ITS

Public Service Corporations Will Re-
quire Millions to Replace Damage

Columbus, O.--OhiO faces the laTg-
est problem of reconstruction and re-
financing it has ever met. Every pub
lie service corporation has been hit
and hit hard. Every county has met
with a staggering loss Of property.
Every municipality has had its burden
doubled or quadrupled. Indicative of
the situation, Franklin county has lost
46 bridges, which will cost n million
to replace. similar situation exists
in every county in the state, differing
only in degree. This does not include

voters vsting in the last Presidential
election for Wilson and Marshall as the

want it understood that all young DEM

in August 1914, are also entitled to
vote, and are solicited to come to the
polls and exercise their right OF ballot.
In other words large vote is desired
by the candidates. Those who are

voters, and those who arernot SO fortu-

An incident not so unusual and yet
lifted above the ordinary things Of the
week for obvious reasons was the resig-
nation OF Sunday School teacher. For
thirty years Mrs. NJ E. Edwards con-
stantly and patiently devoted her time
on Sunday morning and during the
week as we'll to the baby class at the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church. In
her splendid intelligence and mctherly
tenderness has been Feposed the conf-
dence Of the mothers OF Union City for
generation almost. The class has been
almost invariably large one, and no
class in the Sunday School has been
better conducted nor filled place OF
more importance. The tender period
10 the lives OF the little ones, when
their minds are receiving the first and
more lasting impressions, has been par
tally entrusted to Mother Edwards.
What trustl And what more inter-
esting than the little flock, full Of trust
ing innocence and, purity. This has in
deed been life work and remarkable
one. In the cosey little corner Of the
Sunday School room every SUNDAY these
little ones have gathered for thirty years,
the nursery Of the church, and it was
left to this good woman to lead them.
Since the class was instituted some OF
them are grown, some married and
I-have little ones OF their own. Some
are probably laid away in the embrace
Of death. How many remember the
beautiful lessons from the patient good
woman, with heart full OF love and a
soul full of Christ We know her and
we know nearly the heights OF nes
beautiful character. She has other work
in the world, but none which will ever
bring her more lasting gratitude, more
enduring friendship, sweeter remem-
brance and greater reward, both ID this
and the Beautiful Land OF Some-
where, = where the children OF the pass
ling years Of this remarkable class will
be gathered again in a cosy corner
around the Great White Throne.

iected. The response came gradually
and satisfactorily everywhere else but
Union City. This year 10 order to over
come this trouble we organized home
coming, but it failed ike everything
else. The Union City people didn't 60
to the fair. and why9
We don't say this as reflection on
people elsewhere. They come to the
fair because it is thoroughly advertised
and boosted. But Union City fortunate
Iy or unfortunately has been accustomed
OF late years to chautauquas and class
OF entertainment that so far excel in
character and merit that the midway
andsother attractions outside OF the fair
proper became distastefuI. Very few
people there are who do not like the
old custom OF annual reunions and as
sociations at the county fair, but many
of them do object to rabtle Of cheap
fakirs and gamblers, say nothing Of the
immoral element following these'exhi-
billions; they do not want to be crowded
away from the shade and the retreats
of the fair grounds by such an aggre-
CATION; they do not want to rub up
against these people at all. And II we
do say 50 they are about right about it.
They want the children TO have all the
riding and pleasure devices that can be
had, but they do not want the blackleg
gambler and fakir with them. They do
not want the snake charmer, the mum
my. eltish magician, and the five legged
calf. They want either the use Of the
ground or they want something there
Of much better character.
Union City people are demanding in
ducements OF some kind for their at
tendance at the fair and with this solu-
ton is involved the success of the fair.
II our judgment is wrong then some-
body had better get busy and locate the
trouble, for Union City people must
be attracted 10 the fair before It will
succeed.

The Fair.

At the meeting OF the stockholders
OF the fair association Monday there
were numbers Of suggestions offered TO
remedy the losses sustained at the fair
held this year, and it looked like every
one Of them went very wide Of the
mark. One man said cut the expenses
half in two, but he, didn't tell us how
he expected to make the receipts twice
as much as the expenses. Allow lcf
unnecessary expenditures and cut the
fair half il two and how does be expect
the same attendance oregate receipts.
A big show always attracts more peo-
pie than little one. So his philosophy
was full Of punctures Another man
said let every stockholder constitute
himself a policeman. Suppose they
did how much money would il sase.
Another man said let the association
assess itself enough TO pay off the debt,
bat that could not be done legally. The
stock is non assessable. So a number
of them kept on shooting at the stars.
They couldn't find target nearer home.
The fact is that the directors got q little
careless this year aud allowed too many
orders to be given and improvements
made that we're not altogether neces-
sary. But for this there would have
been enough to cover everything and
pay the interest on the note. Any other
set OF directors, after buffeting against
the i'll winds for several years, might
have done the same thing. Then too
rnuch license was given to exhibitors.
Al number OF animals were entered 10
too many rings. The same animal
should not be allowed to take the bulk
of the premiums. This could be pre-
vented. But to cut the fair would be to
kiln it. A county fair without horse
show, trotting and pacing meet, wo-
MANS and an agricultural department.
would be poor makeshift indeed. AS
well go out ofbusiness entirely. 0fcourse
this should be lesson to the directors
20 tighten up the reins. They should
start with the fair earlier every year
and give themselves time to look after
every detail. See that all the corners
are. properly attended to, that no SUPER
lluous orders are issued, and by that
means keep track OF everything.
R..t with all this no fair can provide
against the rains. and there was rain

STOCKHOLDERS MEET.
Change Of Management of the
Union City Fair.


see Fair Association met at the Mayors
Office on Washington street last Monday
afternoon, the 18th inst Mr.. Woosley
read report OF the last fair, including
an itemized statement Of its finances.
The expenditures we're about three hun.
dred dollars more than the receipts, all
told, and the meeting, the best OF all
the fairs in the county, showed loss
of that amount.
This, added to the years interest on
1.-The fair debt, made the years deficit
about six hundred dollars.
The matter was taken up and dis
cussed blythe stockholders, some offer
ing one thing and some another as the
cause OF the loss. The principal cause,
however, was lack Of the proper atten-
ton to details and the expenditure OF
several hundred dollars for improve
ments that we're not altogether neces-
sary.
The discussion resulted in a change
OF the management, authorizing the
election Of finance committee OF three
and giving them, with the President as
an ex-officio member, practically SUI
preme control of the fair.
The officers were then elected as fol-
lows. President, w. G. Farris; Secre-
tary, J. w. Woosley; Treasurer, II.

A motion was then adopted to amend
the bylaws to provide for the election
Of Finance Committee OF three by the
Board OF Directors and to define the
powers Of this committee. The amend
ment drafted by Seid Waddell is as
follows
That the Board OF Directors is author
lied to select three Of the members Of
the board as Finance Committee, and
this committee, subject to the super
vision and ratification OF the board,
shall have charge OF the financial man
agement and expenditures OF the asso-
citation, and that no claim or charge
against the association for expenditures
OF money shall be paid without the or
der OF a majority of said committee.
Said committee shall have charge Of the
formulating and fixing OF the premium
lists and making rules for the operation
OF the fair meetings, such rules, ETC., to
be ratified by the board and do all and
singular through its Judgment such
things as may be deemed best for the
interest Of this association. The Presl-
dent shall be ex-ofiicio member and
preside at meetings, and the secretary
shall keep an accurate record of all the
proceedings and orders by the said COM
mittee and file same with the board.
Said committee shall meet as often as
the business Of the association demands.
The meeting was then adjourned and
the directors Immediately convened and
in pursuance OF the amendment elected
the Finance COMMITTEES as follows: J. A..
