Splendid EXHIBITS, GOOD, JOL-
LY CROWD AND IDEAL wEA-
THEIR MAKE TWO BIG DAYS

This years county fair was favor
ed with ideal weather thruout, and
4 this fact contributed much ITO the
enjoyment of all visitors. The ex-
hibits were the best i'm the history
:. of the association, but the attend
ance was only fair, at least not what
was expected with such glorious
weather and the fall work so far ad-
vanced.
That Marshall county is Capable
of producing all kinds of small
grains to perfection no one who saw
the exhibits can doubt for mo-
ment. And this year especially,
the quality is the very best.
A better exhibit of corn has never
been shown at our county fair, thus
proving beyond "a doubt that Mar
shall county is in the corn belt.
In the vegetable line there was a
large display Of everything general
iy grown in the temperate zone, in
Guiding watermelons and ripe toma-
toes. Our soil is specially adapted
for growing vegetables of excellent
quality.
In fruits, also, the county lis talk
ing strides forward, as was evidence

The pantry and kitchen depart
ment was more complete than at
any former fair. Delicious pies,
cakes, cookies, jams and preserves
tempted severely every visitor to
this department..
In needle and fancy work there
was a large and varied display, evil
dence of the skill and deft fingers
of the women of the county.
That livestock is coming to the
front in our county was demon
strated by the many exhibits of
pure bred horses, cattle, hogs and
sheep brought ITO the fair. Better
stock is the slogan of the progress
siVe farmer in our county. The
poultry department also was very
good. .*5$ = "

Four Hundred and Eighty three
Mines Show Expense Of
$74,o71, $50. q.

=. The Labor World readers will be
interested in a report just issued by
the Department of Commerce. at
Washington. which shows the re-
markable development of the iron ore
industry throughout America during
the past ten years.
It is shown that the total number
sof iron mines in the United States. in
1909 was 483. The number Of per-
sons engaged in the industry on De-
cember is, 1909, or nearest*represen-
tative date, was 55,176, Of whom So
230:were wage earners, The expenses
.of operation and development
amounted to $74,o71,sao, Of which the
payments for salaries and wages con-
stituted somewhat less than half.
=. There was an exceedingly rapid in
crease in the iron mining industry
from 1879 to 1909: The gross amount
:of ore produced was more than eight
times as great in 1909 as In 1879; and
the expenditure for salaries and
wages about three and a half times
as great. The production of ore
more than doubled between 1879 and
1882 and again more than doubled
between. 1888 and 1902, while between
1902 and 1909 there was an increase
of 46-1 per cent.
-. Four operators, each with more
than $4,000 acres, controlled over
three fifths OF all land connected with
iron mines, and eleven other opera
tors. holding more than 10000 acres
each, control1ed nearly :one-fourth of
the total acreage. The very large
5holdets.s however, usually have a
great deal of land not yet proved to
contain iron ore. Moreover, of the
known mineral land controlled by
such operators a greta deal is held In
reserve. The small, holders, on the
other hand, are, in general, mining
out their. ore at relatively rapid
rate. -. i" >. ), ~:
+ = The ten-hour working day (for all
or most employes) is customary in: a
large majority of the iron mines of
the United States, and: in 1909 was
the rule without exception I'm the
States Of iowa, Kentucky, New Mexi-
co, New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Texas, West Virginia, Wisconsin and
Wyoming. On the other hand, the
eight-hour day was reported for all
mines in Utah, five mines in Alabama,
six In Michigan, three in Minnesota.
two in. New Jersey, and one each in
Pennsylvania, Virginia and Nevada.
The greatest degree Of concentra-
ton of wage earners was reported
from the Lake Superior district,
where ten operators, with over 500
wage earners each, employed $3.50,
or: over five-sixths Of the total number
Of wage earners for that district. In
the Southern and other: districts. be-
tween two-f1fths and one-half OF, all
wage earners were employed by oper-
ators employing more: than 500 wage
earners each. On the other hand: in
each district operators employing 20
wage earners or less reported: but a
small percentage Of the total number
employed. 1882 -: - - =: !:

Washington, June 4.-Henry s. Graves, head of the bureau of fores- try, who was placed under fire by the attack of William E. Humphrey of Washington in speech before the House, resented the accusations and said it was for political effect. MT. Humphrey alleged that the forestry department was conducted for the benefit of a. few railroads and lumber people and the g1orification of so call ed conservationists. He charged that the Northern Pacific, the Santa Fe and other railroads had received hun dreds of thousands of acres of va1ua- bIe timber land, worth millions of dollars, in exchange for land that was either vaIueIess or worth only from 5 to 40 cents an acre. He asserted that most of this land had passed from the possession of the railroads into the control or ownership of the Weyer- hauser Lumber Syndicate. He de- manded an investigation of Chief Graves department.

GIRL HIT BY TROLLEY AND
 BADLY INJURED
Stratford Letter Carriers Daugh- ter Laid Up As Result of
 Accident

 EfraSford June 4--El1a ErVins the : Ifttie s-year-old daughter of Robert Erwin. one of the Stratford mail car rfers was badly injured when she was struck by a speeding trolley car on Stratford avenue near the plant or The Baird Machine Co.,, Monday even ing The little girl was accompanied by her 6-year-old brother and the wonder is that both children were not instantly killed by the trolley car.
 The children were going along Sfratford avenue and were about to turn down Eleanor street to go home to supper when the little girl spied tsorne flowers growing by the roadside across the way. She decided to get the flowers and so darted across the street, her brother following closely at her heels
 She did not see the trolley car com ing along the track from the direction of Bridgeport and the car was almost upon her when the motorman saw her, and damned on his air brakes. He was too late for the fender struck the chold and threw her with terrific force to the ground. She rolled over and over in front of the car her face; shoulders and limbs being badly bruis- ed A piece of flesh several inches in length was torn from her hand and z she received scratches and decorations all over the body.
 The car was finally brought to a stop and the injured child was pick ed up from the road. When 1t was seen what had happened one of the women passengers on the trolley faint ed and two others went into mysteries
 In the meanwhile the little boy had run home and informed his parents that his sister had been knocked down and killed by a trolley car. The pa rents came rushing out of the house but were relieved when they saw that the child was only slightly injured She was taken into the house, the wounds were dressed, and she was put e 10 bed where she is now resting com 1ortabIy-
