THE COUNTY FAIR.

The following, reproduced from the
Courier-Journal, while written par
ticularly of Central Kentucky and
Louisville, contains that which should
interest farmers and town people in
this section. Read it.
"The managers of the Blue Grass
Fair at Lexington are reported to be
disappointed at the light patronage
accorded the fair by the citiztnes of
Lexington.
at appears to be a difficult matter
to interest city residents in fairs. The
people of Louisville, for instance,
have not been especially liberal in
patronizing the Kentucky State Fair,
despite the fact that it is a meritorious
exhibition of great value to Louisville
and to the State. 1t has been possible
by special efforts to bring out large
local attendance on certain days, but
there ought to be large city patron
age every day
1T is doubtless true that there are
many features at a fair which do not
interest city people, but the exhibits
are big enough and varied enough to
supply something of interest for ev-
erybody. Most assuredly 1t is of i'm
portance to Lexington that the Blue
Grass Fair should be success, and
1t Is equally important to Louisville
that the State Fair should be a sue
cess. These fairs, primarily, are for
the encouragement Of agricultural de-
velopment. City prosperity is largely
dependent on rural prosperity. The
principal reason why Lexington is a
good and growing town is because it
has the backing Of a productive ag-
ricultural territory. Louisville's prog
ress is largely due to the fact that
Kentucky is an agricultural State.
Neither Lexington nor Louisville can
boast of industrial prestige when COM
pared with other cities of their re-
spective classes.
THE time may come when Kentucky
win be great Industrial State, and If
80 the fairs will have been factor in
hastening the day. But Kentucky's best
hope for the present lies in increasing
the number and volume of her farm
products. The cities can be of great
help in forwarding agricultural devel-
opment, and one of the ways in which
they can assist Is by giving encourage
nert and support to such institutions
as the State Fair and the Blue Grass
Fafr."

distinguished visitor assembled the

DRAeNET FOR CONSIDERATIONS.

Washington, Aug 21.--Although the
Department of Justice dragnet to catch
conspirators who have raised food
stuff prices and given the cost of liv-
ing a boost has not been drawn in,
there were strong indications today
that at least six grand juries in as
many different localities soon will be
asked to return indictments against
dealers alleged to be in conspiracy to
violate the Sherman Anti trust act.
Juries are almost certain to be asked
for indictments in Washington, Chica-
CO. Brooklyn and three other cities,
the names of which the department at
present will not reveal. In Chicago
the effort to Jail offenders will be
made Immediately, and in the other
cities all expedition will be used.
Despite the unwillingness of officials
to discuss the Investigations at the
present time it leaked out tonight that
information has been obtained con-
corning beef packers in Chicago which
may result in prosecutions. Department
officials are at a loss to explain how
the packers can export meat and still
plead that there Is shortage. 1t was
understood here today that the packers
have not taken kindly to the investi-
cation. The plan adopted has been to
look into the affairs of branch houses,
and the packers have objected and in
sisted that the Investigations be made
at headquarters.
The rise In the price Of sugar has led
to renewed interest among department
officials In the investigation Of the sup
posed connection between the so-called
sugar trust and the beet sugar inter-
ests.
