The Oxen Pulling Contest

During the afternoon the pulling oxen
were being Judged in the inheid and the
Judges of the tine bred stock were busy
in the cattle department. A change has
been made this year in that the horses
instead of being judged in the field inside
the track are judged in a specially con-
structed ring III the horse department.
This makes It better for everybody as
the ring has been carefully graded and
it is only a step TO the stalls and there
is plenty Of room for the people who
wish TO see this part of the fair.

can campaign. is much needed IN Brit
inh hospitals now, according to the
National Council OF Trained Nurses
which has sent TO Lord Kitchener .,
protest against tho employment Of in
competent nurses. In acknowledge
.nent OF tho resolution, tho Secretary OF
WaE asked the council to submit CYL :
ceace In support cf rs charges, and
the report on the matter Is expected
shortly.
The professional trained nurses arc
complaining that young women OF
means and social influence. attracted
py the sentimental sidc OF nursing at
the front, have stormcd tho hospitals
ana have In many cases obtained posi-
nothing or tho work. IF Lord Hitch
eAer had asked for 100000 nurses 70

thu allegations OF the nurses council.
Tic rush OF amateurs has pushed inside

tune OF the wounded Tommy, who has
TO euomit to "fussins" and pctting ut
tho hands OF pretty, unframed girls,
when, while scntImentally appealing,
does not go very far toward minister
ing to his real needs.
The agitation against tho incompe-
tent nurse was rained early In the war,
but only just now have the organized
nurses. numbering some 5000, brought
the matter officially to the attention
OF the war Office.
Lord knutsford. in letter TO tho
Times, rather humorously stated what
he considers the chief objection to some
OF tho UNFRAMED nurses" who have
got abroad. They would give less Of
Tense, he said, if
They were not photographed so often.
And would wear their uniforms more
nodcstly.
And would tal;. less in public abou.
their patients.
And would DO little more humble
and less aggressive.

war IL war against var. and we are
not among the paciflsts who arc cor
peace at any price"
