 The new report cards are out Some complaint that too little praise is given the good pupil. Our answer is that we consider everybody in school good unless the contrary quail ties are proved and we think parents should adop the same rule. If a pupil has faults that interfere with, his school work, we indicate that fact; otherwise We make no comment We hope it will prove far easier to point out the faults than to enumerate the virtues. Is it not easier in the ease of your child?
 The school supplies, ordered at the opening of school, are beginning to come .in We shall soon have every thing in hand ;,

FAIR NOTES.

l. k. Douglass & Son have a large and we'll arranged exhibit of farm implements and harvesting machin- cry on the grounds.
 Everybody's comment on the car. nival shows is that they are the cleanest and best attractions ever shown at the county fair.
 With so many interesting events occurring in rapid succession, no one seems to miss the aeroplane flights. Everyone seems to understand that it IS no fault of the fair association that the flights were not given and no criticism against the officials is heard.
 Franenthal 6 Schwarz have a big display of vehicles and implements which attracts many visitors.
 The only difficulty Wednesday was the crowd was so large and dense that the shows could not accommodate them, Many waited until Il o'clock or later to get chance to get into some of the exhibitions.
 The motor-dome continues to be the big drawing card.
