County fairs have enjoyed great
prosperity during the past few years
IN Missouri. They have, to a remark
able degree, aroused an enthusiasm
and interest in breeding profitable
types OF animals. The educational
value Of those county exhibitions has
contributed largely to the reputation
enjoyed by Missouri live stock. They
have contributed to the development
and improvement Of all kinds of live
stock. No other single agency exerts
such marked influence in fixing def.
mite standards for the best types of
the domestic animals. Experience long
since demonstrated that Improvement
in breeding domestic animals IL i'm.
possible unless breeders have a def.
mite, lXed type In mind The live
stock shows have done much toward
fixing IN the minds of exhibitors the
,est type of animals,
These fairs exist for the betterment
If their respective communities. While
;hey have been called agricultural
fairs, and have in truth been agri.
cultural fairs In the majority of cases,
yet they have given inspiration and
enthusiasm 10 not only those of agri-
cultural pursuits. but to those living
IN towns and cities as well
There must he two primary objects
of every county fair: First, education,
second, amusement. TO secure the
proper balance between these two oh.
,acts without the smothoring OF one
aud the excess of the other has been
the difficult problem. Fairs which
have been out OF balance in either di.
rection have failed to accomplish the
people. The fairs of Missouri, them.
selves. stand today as convincing
proof of the good which they have ac-
romplished.
The success of any fair depends in
large measure upon the stockholders.
AS general proposition We believe 1t
advisable TO limit the number Of
shares that 1t is possible for any one
stakeholder to own, Also, 10 make
the value OF each share not less than
So nor more than $50. The more good
men whose interests can be enlisted
In the enterprise, the more strength
will come to it. One Missouri county
fair has 500 stockholders. This means
that there are about 500 families with
n personal and pecuniary interest in
the success Of the affairs of the asso.
citation A "one.man" fair, or fair
run by just a few individuals, usually
finds ii harder TO secure the active
cooperation OF the community such

II is notable that year which has
cut short most of our forage crops

alfalfa. The field was not cultivated
this year and is yet practically free OF
weeds. The drought has kept the
weeds down.
The reason that alfalfa is growing
while other plants are whitening is
that Il has unusually deep roots. The
roots continue to grow year after

Wednesday afternoon a Greek, who said his name was "LaZar" applied to Magin for work, and put up a strong plea for an opportunity to make an honest living. Magin told the man that he would give him work for a time anyway and the fellow was profuse in his thanks to his bene- factor Later in the afternoon Lazar confided to Magin that he was broke and desired few dollars WhereWltn to pay board and room rent, and Magin promptly produced the neces- sary amount, but told Lazar that ne might occupy the room with him, thus saving a few dollars.
 At three o'clock yesterday morning Night Chief Fiveash and Patrolman Pat Henry found the door of Magln place unlocked and notified the pro- prietor, who discovered the absence of Lazar upon being awakened by the officers. He hastened to the store and it was there he discovered that Lazar had abstracted the keys of the place from his pockets while he was asleep and had gone to the store and secured $5S which was in the cash drawer. The thief overlooked about s4 which was in the cash drawer. otherwise Magin's loss would have reached $62.
 The police have good description of the man and have wired to points on the Cotton Belt and Iron Noun tain. asking the officers to keep g close watch for the culprit.
