Slight Mishap Occurs When
Two SuIkieS Collide
The Wind-Up OF A Fair
Successful In All Ways

Fridays card at the Knox county
fair productive of some real racing
and a monster crowd enjoyed it
greatly.
After the first heat in the 2:12 pace,
Starter Woodland announced that the
drivers of Findlay Boy and Frank Ana
MAS were fined $40 apiece by the judg-
es for failure to let their horses out.
These two had finished fourth and
fifth in the first heat.
This had the desired effect and
BILLY" Mayors, driving Findlay Boy,
let his horse go in the second heat and
the finish was the prettiest of the three
days. On the last quarter, it was hard
to tell whether Lady Venice or Find
lay Boy would land the heat. The form
er pulled up at the 100-yard mark
and went under the wire first. The
remaining two heats and first money
went to her, Mayors contenting him.
self with third in the money division.
At the start of the third heat of the
220 pace, the only mishap of the races
occurred. Starter Woodland had ex-
perienced trouble in getting the string
to line up right for the start and had
sent them back about six times. Fin
ally, what looked to be "go' came,
when Markley, driving Dan, in en-
deavoring to crowd past Toy, driven
by McCrea, hooked in the wheel of the
latter's sulky and wrenched it almost
double. In attempting to get out of the
mix-up, Markley swerved into the
crowd by the track and his horse bare
ly missed tramping on several.
Time was called until McCrea could
get new sulky. At his return, the
heat was started the first try. The
Tiffin horse, Gitchie Manato, driven
by Mayors, took first money easily in
prettily raced heats.
The 2:19 trot was peculiar in that
the horses finished in the same posi-
tions in all except the third heat when
Hub Holiday broke at the end of the
end of the half and changed the order
around.
These races brought to a conclu'
sion what has been a most successful
fair. The crowds have slightly ex'
ceeded those of the immediate prev
ious years, due, no doubt, to the
changed dates. The entries also have
been larger than heretofore.
The work of Mr.. F. D. Woodland OF
Washington G. H., Ohio, as starter
of the races must be praised. Not one
race was allowed to drag over until
another day and all were run off as
booked-an unusual thing for county
fair, particularly with the large mum
ber of entries the local fair had this
year.

The worlds carrying power now in

sells of over 100 tons engaged in trade,
whether domestic or foreign, on
ocean, river and lake
This country ranks second in num-
ber and tonnage of vessels engaged

Der of American vessels engaged in
foreign trade, according to reports re-
ceived by the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, Department Of

ment of Lloyd's, out of an aggregate
tonnage of 47,000,000 gross tons in
1913-1914, 40 per cent were credited to
Great Britain, IL per cent to the Unit

The carrying trade of the United

gross tonnage of American vessels en-
gagged in lake and coastwise trade was
increasing from 1861 ,304 tons in 1889

BAKER BOSSES ORGANIZE.

The baker bosses of this city met
a few days ago and decided to or
ganize. 1t is said that the bakers
have been contemplating such an
organization for some time, and a
few days ago several met and a
committee was appointed to form
ulate plans for the new organization
The bakers are sadly in need of an
organization for their own protec-
ton and it is hoped that they will
get down to business at once. The
bread trust has entered this field
and is trying to force the home
bakeries out of business. 1t is nee
essary for the baker bosses to or
ganize to protect their interests
and every grocer who has the city
of Hamilton and it's citizens at
heart should do all in their power
to patronize home products exclu-
sively.

MAN AND MICROBES.
Human Beings Might All Be Giants if
There Were No Bacteria.

There Were No Bacteria.
IL there were no microbes men would
grow to gigantic stature and have in
tellectual powers far In advance Of
those which they possess at present
What is more, it is possible, at least
to live without microbes Anyway,
these are the conclusions of no less an
authority than DR.. Roux, who heads
the Pasteur institute in Paris. They
are based upon the result of some ex-
periments carried on by one of his pu-
pills, DR.. Michael Cohendy
The latter placed some guinea pigs
under glass at the moment of their
birth. The air which they breathed
was thoroughly sterilized, as was all
the food administered to them. I'm
questionably many germs were able to
reach them, but every precaution
known to science and possible with
the application of one of the complet-
est laboratories in the world was ex-
ercised to protect them.
The results rather astounded the
doctor. The subjects grew with amaz-
ing rapidity, three or four times as
fast as guinea pigs Of the same age
subsisting under normal conditions.
In the brief span of twelve days they
were for the most part third larger.
1t is a far cry from the guinea pig
to the man of course, but DR.. Roux
concludes that the latter, if under per-
feet antiseptic conditions from birth,
would develop very far beyond what
is possible as things are at present
He even hints that, with advancing
knowledge, such conditions, if not at
tained, will be SO approximated as to
materially enhance the physical wei
fare and mental vigor of the race

Therefore be it Resolved; that

request the Ohio State Federation
of Labor to request all labor organ
