Children, Save Exhibits
For the industrial Fair

The industrial fair and child well
fare conference will be held at the
Chautauqua building September 2 and
). Exhibits will be received Tuesday
afternoon, September / , and Wednes-
day, September Q, until l o'clock.
Anyone desiring information in re-
gard to the exhibits may receive it
by comforting with any member Of
the committees whose names are CIV
en- below. Mr.. Caldwell, having
charge of the garden products, will
direct all participating in these
projects as how best to prepare these
products. In all departments the arti-
cles should be taken to the Chautau-
qua building before / o'clock on
Wednesday, September 2.
The committees are very anxious
that the parents take an active part
in this fair. This should be done by
encouraging the children to do their
best. The products exhibited should
be done wholly by the children. 1t is
not fair to a child who exhibits an
article produced by himself if that
article Is in competition with others
made by children receiving help from
adults. In fact, If such articles are
exhibited, nothing but harm can come
to all concerned. 1t should be under
stood that the articles exhibited are
products of the children alone. None
other, if known, will be accepted by
the heads of the departments.
However, the head of each depart
ment is anxious that the parents will
see that the children in every home
have something to exhibit at the fair.
The fair is for the children and their
encouragement. For it to have the
best results, everyone should under
stand its aims and, in accordance
with them, work for a successful ex-
hibition. The idea of doing a thing
well, just little better than anyone
else, is the spirit that wins. The in
dustrial movement proposes to instill
that thought into everyone. 1t is
merit that counts, but the individual
must believe he has the chance to
merit something. These contests
demonstrate that ability. so bring out
the best you have and see how ii
ranks with the best your neighbor
has.
All articles in wood that have been
made by the children in the homes or
at school are wanted. II does not
matter whether the article is large
or small. Bring it to the Chautauqua
building. Articles made by the girls
in the home or at school, in the line
of plain or fancy sewing, are wanted.
Bring them to the Chautauqua build
ing on Tuesday, September /, if posi-
BILE. Those engaged in the canning
contests should see that their exhibits
are at the Chautauqua building on
Monday. 1t is suggested that those
interested in baking and cooking con-
tests should not prepare their ma
terial until Tuesday morning, Sep

More casualties than in any other
battle of history are already piled up.
A titanic struggle is raging between
the allies and the Germans in Bel

day is the third day of the conflict.
There were points where the allies
defensive walls were broken, but re-

and invariably filled up the gaps. In
other places the German infantry was
compelled to retire. The Germans
were enormously strong. Experts
said there are nearly a million re-
