Without any desire to oppose really
needed court facilities, the Democrat
would call attention 20 some things in
connection with this bill.
In the first place, ii is provided that
the act shall not take effect until APP
proved by the majority vote of the vOt-
ers OF the town at a town meeting
doubtless of the town of kumfOrd,
though that is not specifed) No refer
eudum is allowed TO the people of the
county, but the act becomes mandatory
on the county commissioners as soon a.
it is approved by the people OF Rumford
The county now furnishes room for
the Rumford Municipal Court, and last
year paid the sum of 800 rent therefor.
Also the May term of Supreme Judicial
Cocr. FOR the county is held at Rumford
aud has been for some years. For this
also the county last year paid $500 rent,
making a total of S400 for rent of Rum
ford court rooms. The longest term OF
May court has been eight days, and the
shortest four days.
If building were erected strictly
within the terms of the act, the expeudi-
ture of the county for construction
would be S25, 900, the interest on which
annually at four per cent would be
$1,000. To this half the running expense,
repairs, etc, would add a number OF
hundred more, so that, allowing fair
rent for the municipal court room, the
county would be paying at the rate OF
somewhere between $3.50 and 800 per
day for the use of court room for the
May term.
All this on the supposition that the
cost is kept within the limit named.
There have been cases where this has
been done, but every body knows how
rare they are. Oxford County now has
q set Of buildings which were to cost not
over thirty thousand dollars. When en-.
tirely ready for the purposes for which
they were built they represented an ex
penditure of at least s45, 900, and as they
stand at present they represent more
than S65, 900 in construction. Only a
chronic dyspeptic would say that we
have not set OF county buildings which
are a credit to us, aud worth what they
have cost, but the cost is there just the
same.
There are also some considerations IL
favor of building at Rumford, if the
court is to be held there, such as thC
present difficulty In finding suitable
quarters, and the advantages which
would be realized by permanent habita
ton. bur the question is whether these
advantages are worth the great expense

PRIZE WINNING
ARTICLE is BY
EDWAROLURTON
YOUNG STUDENT OF HIGH SCHOOL
WON FREE TICKET IN TELLING
WHY PEOPLE SHOULD GO TO
THE INTERSTATE FAIR.

Edward Lurton, Is years of age, son
of J. w. Lurton, division passenger
agent of the Louisville & Nashville
railroad, wrote the article in the stu
dents contest which was adjudged the
most worthy of note and expression on
why People Should Go to the Fair"
His article was under the nom de
plume Of Guy Fairfax" and done out
side of the writer perhaps knew who
the author was. The article is print
ed below because of the many reasons
advanced by the promising youngster.
The article is as follows:
Why People Should Go to the Fair.
Knowing the many benefits that could
be derived, the Tri-County Fair AssO-
citation was organized in 1909, and the
first fair was held at Pensacola the
same year The fair has been i'm
proved from the first, right along, year
after year, by this association.
This year the purg ose of the fair is
TO promote the highest development
and best use of the natural resources
o. the county; to teach how modern
ma chinery increases production and
lightens labor: to illustrate the ways
in which the wealth in lands, forest,
waters minerals animal life and hu-
man eff cheney may be more effectively
utilized, and how many things that
now go to waste may be converted into
sources of revenue.
There are many reasons why people
should go TO a fair buc the main one
should be for information
To the young it is q source CT edu-
cation. 1t opens their minds 10 the
wonderful things evolved from the
minds of those who are older and Of
mere ripe experience. 1t incites them
10 imitate-then excel.
To the older it is source of larger
education, in that it not only encour-
ages agriculturists to develop the
species of crops planted. improve the
Quality of grain. vegetables, etc, but it
enables them to study the cost of pro-
GEction, ana how to develop the best
Use Of the MATERIAL resources at their
hands. Farmers who have become dis
Courag ea over the failure Of their crops,
by visiting a fair, are given opror-
tunities to compare notes, and exchange
IDEAS with others who have been more
fortunate in their operations and thus
getting ideas OF the methods of plant
ing and cuItivating.
1t provides the stock raiser with an
opportunity to avail himself of re
sources or information as to the de-
Velopment Of grades in live stock which
he could not gain through any other
source at so small cost or through
so pleasant channel.
1t encourages the farmer and live
sleek raiser alike AMI places them in
competition with each other, and
touches that feature of human nature
Which makes one want to do as good
a his neighbor.
As method of advertisement. it ac-
qraints the local community with its
own resources, for it brings to a GER
tain point, where, on a small area u
space is shown the products of its own
locality. There are no persons who
visit a fair but have their eyes open ID
to many things grown in their county
