who are to be released to cast about
for a landing place. Among them are
individuals of all classes. some very
expert in certain lines, but the most of
them are ordinary laborers, this being
especially true of the negroes, who are
in the majority. Right here is where
the release of the prisoners promises to
be a good thing for tbe state at large
For several years the question of farm
labor has grown to be more and more
matter of %erious nature. The negroes
prefer to live in the towns or to work
on the public works. where they can be
together in crowds. Often the farmers
are sorely tried in their efforts to get
labor at rush seasons and are forced to
pay eXorbitant prices
But the ordinary laborers among the
convicts find the farms their best
chance for getting the coveted job. Phe
farmers are willing to take the risk, If
risk it is. and they are offering to give
employment to the prisoners. In one
county the seventeen negroes that are
due to return have all been thus guar
anteed work. Other counties are doing
the same thing, and probably the ma.
jority Of this class Of the convicts will
find home and freedom on the farms.
Governor James B. McCreary has
pardoned only few convicts. but the
executive has nothing to do with the
wholesale liberations. The court ruled
that he is powerless to interfere in any
way with the release Of the prisoners.

Fair Board Has Put on a List of
Splendid Attractions Weber's
Band VIII he Big Feature
Everything Set for Big Week
at GreenviIIe, August "a 10 2s.

Tue Great Darke County Fair has al
ways borne the reputation OF being the
next best thing to the State Fair when
Il comes to anything in the fair" line.
but the Great Darke County Fair for IA
gives promise of eclipsing any of the
former fairs helda Greenville. In every
respect the Fair board has tried to en-
| large and there seems to be little doubt
that they have succeeded.
The finest line OF free attractions ever
offered have been gathered together.
First and foremost among these is John
| {. Weber's Prize American Band, of Gin
cinnati, which will be here during the
entire week. This in itself alone will
justify the many thousands who usually
come to attend this year.
Among the other free attractions are
Aida and Aida in the hay wagon act.
They are the greatest pair of comedy
acrobats in the business. They always
make the boys and girls and the old farm
wagon with its load of hay pulls up and
until ii pulls away and slips entirely out
of sight THE Three Blondes" is an
other free attraction of wide reputation
and will be a source of much enjoyment
to both old and young.
The Ohio Experiment Station will be
here throughout the week with their
many exhibits. The work of the Ohio
Experiment Station has been a marked
feature during the past year, and will
no doubt be an interesting feature of the
Greenville fair.
Besides the unusual number of free at
fractions the Board has booked at number
OF pay shows. The merry-go-round.
the Ferris wheel, the ocean. wave, the
dip, the fortune teller and every conceiv-
able form of amusement will be there.
One of the new features of the Great
Dake County Fair this year will be Lad
les Day. on Tuesday of the fair. All
ladies', and children under sixteen, ac-
companied by their parents, will be adj
mitted to the grounds free; Wednesday
of the fair will be Soldiers Day" and
all old soldiers and soldiers wives and
widows will be admitted to the grounds
free.
The boys of the Fair Board have made
some Improvements at the Fair Grounds
that add much to their beauty. A new
front at the east gate has been put in.
Two new brick ticket offices have been
built aud make the entrance an attract

built on the grounds.
Members of the Fair Board state that
one indication of excellent crowds is the
fact that the rush for stalls at the horse
exhibits is starting unusually early this
year and many have already been taken.
Reports from surrounding counties and
former residents of this city and county
indicate that banner crowds will be there.
In addition to the many interesting fea-
tures of the fair, it is always a great
week for former residents
of this section.
Admission to the grounds will be the
some as last year.
Don't forget the date August "a to 28. !

ARMIES DO NOT PRE-

Once more is refuted the absurd claim
that armies and navies guarantee peace.
Austrias large army has melted it to at

large army has failed to save it from war.
1t does not seem credible that the pros

great nations of Europe is more than the
product of the fertile imagination of sem

not even these correspondents would
have considered such a cataclysm possi-

WHEAT EXPORTERS ACT

New York, Aug. 11.-Wheat export
ers of the United States will cease
all efforts to export in the present
circumstances If it can legally be
done. Not only will contracts in ex-
istence for the shipment of between
6O,0o0,O00 and 7O,OOO,OO0 bushels to
Europe be cancelled, but no attempt
will be made to ship any more or to
make any new contracts, no matter
how profitable they may appear to be.
The absolute Generalization of the
foreign exchange market, the unsat-

assumption of war risks on cargoes
and the law which holds the shipper
liable until delivery were some of the
reasons which induced the big export
men to resolve on the action, after

Returns from the primary election in

incomplete show that the democracy OF

placed in nomination an excellent ticket
which from top to bottom commends it.
self to the consideration of the voters.
The results show also that Ohio demo-
Gratis, either as to state, district or coun-
ty, believe in the time-honored principle
of two terms and against third terms.
James NJ. Cox, the democratic governor,
has been nominated for a second term
with vote so decisive that he can feel
that his administration and his policies
in carrying out the promises of the plat
form on which he was nominated in the
Toledo convention of 1912 have been APP
proved by an overwhelming expression
from the people of his state. The oppo-
sition, led by Congressman Whitacre,
who sought to break the democratic rule
of two terms was launched and prosecut-
ed throughout the campaign with siren
uous effort on the part of the Canton
man and his few supporters but as the
contest narrowed down to live issues at
the polls on primary day the opposition
was swept away in a food of votes that
left no question as to the wishes of the
democracy of Ohio. The result shows
that the democracy of this state is pro-
gressive; that the reforms already inaug-
urated during the administration of
James M. Cox are approved and that
therepublican party which has been re-
dictionary in its attacks on the policies
of the Cox administration will have to
adopt new tactics if it hopes to win favor
with the people of the state at large.
The vote of the people of the Fourth
congressional district, in face of the strong
organization that had been built up by
Congressman Cooke and his loyal sup
porters is conclusive proof that the dem
ocratic principle of two terms and no
more in succession must prevail. Hon.
N. w. Cunningham, Allen county's can
didate, as was predicted by this paper,
received loyal support from the people
of his home county, and carried the dis
trict outside his home county with a vote
that makes his margin here in Allen
county practically his net majority. He
carried Auglaize county, on the face of
unofficial returns with a majority of 120
votes over his opponent, Mr. Cooke, the
for third term from that coun-
ty. He also carried Darke and Miami
according to the unofficial re-
turns and lost only Shelby and Mercer
counties and those two by small major
tiles His majority of from eight hum
dred to one thousand in Allen county
will stand as his majority in the district,
his losses in Mercer and Shelby being
overcome by the majorities he won in
Auglaize, Miami and Darke counties.
Mr.. Cunningham home, Bluffton l
md R1chland township, gave the record
primary vote of its history, casting some
;ix hundred votes, giving the Allen coun- '
y candidate a majority of five hundred. ]

Caring for
Horace

Uncle Horace was over sixty and
discouragingly rich.
There is a point where ones income
becomes so great that people pass
from common, ordinarily covetous
envy 10 a reslgnedly helpless state OF
mind. They write down the figures OF
that income, stare at them and then
say; "oh, shucksl There amt no
such incomel" That was the delight
full kind Of income Uncle Horace had.
Mrs. stebbins and Mrs. Cromp, his
two nieoes, we're so devoted to him
and said they counted It such a Joy
TO have the dear old mans presence
gIorify their homes that they lost
good sleep planning how to entice him
away from each other.
Moreover, each was firmly con-
vinced that the other was a designing
person.
Since he had come to stay with
Mrs. Stebbins for a few months she
had felt that something was wrong
with Uncle Horace. If 1t had not
been for his income Uncle Horace
would have been a small, insignificant
individual with pale eyes and an un-
pleasant habit of wanting the best
chair, and of sitting in the next room
and coughing when his niece had call
ers. Under the circumstances he was
a reserved, original man with ideas of
his own, which his relatives delighted
to humor.
What worried Mrs. Stebbins espe-
cially was Uncle Horaoe's air Of abb
straction and his unwonted helpful
ness. Usually he was under feet, in
vestigating everything that went on
and getting in the way tremendously.
On these occasions Mrs. Stebbins was
wont to say, through her teeth, that
L was perfectly wonderful the way
Uncle Robert kept up.
