(Written for the United Press)
NEW YORK. Feb. l5.-t11 a. MI
The eleventh nation has now entered
the war Without making any public
declaration of hostilities. Albania has
begun operations against Servia, and
is driving the Servians from the
southwestern frontier district. The
sudden appearance OF Albanian troops
on Servia's flank will create diver
sion highly preiudicial to the Servian
plan of campaign which has been
drawn up 10 resist an Austro-German
invasion from the little Kingdoms
northeastern boundary
Il is probable that only Servian
frontier guards have been watching
the Albanian border. They could not
withstand a sudden invasion by an
Albanian army, and so have had to
fall back. The official Servian report
which announces the Albanian in
vasion. does not state the number Of
the enemy engaged. Albania is a
Wild feudal country. with a popula-
tion OF $4,000 Mohammedans and
10000 Christians. All the men are
warlike. and it is possible an army of
10000 might be organized for a con-
certed campaign
Albania's entrance into the war is
undoubtedly due to Austro-Germ
and 10 Turkish influences. The in
dependence of Albania was secured
largely by Austro-German diplomats
after the last Balkan war. because

Italy and Greece cannot regard Al

difference. Greece borders Alhania'
southeastern corner. and the Albanian
western boundary is the Adriatc
which Italy desires to command a per

Tama has planned ID is about to
execute a very pleasin, edition to
that city and credit to The Lincoln
Highway. She will build beautiful
gaeways where the highway crosses
the boundaries of the city, handsome
arches OF pressed brick thru which the
traffic of continent will pass in and
out of Tama.
Aside from the appreciation thus
shown of her location upon the great
artery of tourist travel between the
two oceans it is good advertising. Those
who pass thru will never forget Tama.
It is as tho the little city on the Iowa
said: I'VE have expected you. The
gates are wide open larry long as
you WILL Go when 1t pleases you.
Pleased to meet YOU
The Tama gates with their welcome
to those who come and their good speed
to those who depart will be unique.
That they may be copied is true but
the others will be copies. Tama did it
first.
An open gate, a good road leading up
to it. good streets and good people
within are sufficient to make any town
notable.

MAKE IT 8, GOOD ONES.

Iowa is to hold ninety-one fairs this
season for which dates are already
claimed
We need at least eight more fairs
in Iowa. Perhaps we need more than
that but the county that lacks a coun-
ty fair lacks an essential to its own
welfare
A good county fair IS worth much
more than it costs. 1t is worth all It
costs if merely to bring the residents
of the county together once a year.
AS time goes on in Iowa and county
fairs develop we shall find the fair less
an amusement proposition and more
an exhibit Of county products. Most Of
the manufacturing industries spend
time and money on their exhibits.
They recognize the value of the fair as
place to display their products. The
class that is most negligent of the fair
is the class for whom it IS primarily
planned and to whom it might be made
Of greatest value-the farmers.
The agricultural exhibit of an Iowa
county should be unexcelled and I'M
exampled; for nowhere else does the
soil so richly repay those who love and
cultivate it.
Begin to get ready for the fair. Set
aside certain products for competition.
Put time on them. Show the best you
have but show it. Don't worry whether
it wins a prize or not. Only limited
number may be given premium but
every one can exhibit the best he has,
make his comparison between his own
success and that Of his competitors and
learn something from every other. Have
the boys try. Encourage them to COM
pete. Suggest to the girls that bread
making and butter working are arts
more valuable than the ability to paint
an alleged landscape on a square Of
canvas.
Get into the game. There's lots Of
fun in 1t and some trouble. But make
it your fair in your county with your
exhibit part of it.
