THE COUNTY FAIR
ay Peter Radford
Leeturer Natlonal Farmers, unIon

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The farmer gets more out of the
fair than anyone else The fair to a
city man is an entertainment; to a
farmer it is education. Let us take
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger moment at few of the points
of greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers.
You are now attending congress of
the mental giants in mechanical sci
you in tongues of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can all help others for
a brief period while we live, but it
takes master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light a torch of
progress that will illuminate the path
way of civilization for future genera
lions. The men who gave us the
sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown US how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught us lessons in economy and eff
cheney, how to make one hour do the
work of two or more; have length
ened our lives. multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the
back of humanity.
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced Their in
ventions have stood the acid test of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity, yet
millions of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in mute
applause of their marvellous achieve
ments.

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the di-
rection of cultured. clean and COM
petent leadership. where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To held our young people on the
farm we must make farm life mora
attractive as well as the business Of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements of human
thought and activity

Sfdelight On Recent Cripple
Creek Gold Discovery

Whenever any discovery is made in
science or technology there appears to
be an irrepressible tendency on the
part of those who supply news to the
general public to state that the new
information "upsets all previous theo-
ries." This stock praise may gener-
ally be put down as an exageration
and in many of its applications is
wholly untrue. The phrase ia in partic
ular favor with the reporter of mining
news. to whom the discovery of new
ore body in a district is the signal for
Immediately consigning all previous
geologic opinion concerning that dis
trict to the scrap heap. This predic
tiou is well illustrated by the press &C.
counts of the wonderfully rich body Of
ore recently found in the Cresson mine-
at Cripple Creek, at a depth Of 1900
feet. Most Of these accounts state
that the find "upsets all previous theo-
ries of the United States Geological
Survey" OF conree no such disaster
has occurred. Anyone who will take
the trouble to read for himself the brief
chapter Of l6 pages in the Surveys re-
port on the Crii pie Creek district, pub
lished in 1908 which sums up the geo.
logists' conclusions on the origin Of the
ores and the future Of the district, can
easily ascertain that the statements
there made have fully been conformed
by the mining developments Of the last
eight years. Moreover, the occasional
discovery Of rich ore bodies, even be-
low . depth Of l, l,0c0 feet, was distinct
y predicted.

The Trouble Man

<%VIth the growth of the tele--
phone system in the Rocky noun
tain has come of a new calling
that of the trouble hunter. The
success of the telephone operations
in the mountainous districts is
most entirely dependent upon the
skill and courage of these linemen
who must repair breaks, no mat
ter what hazardous circumstances
are involved
The other day the 3.4oo mile
across the contiuen. "speech cam
ap' was opened through Denver
and over the divide. A snowstorm
on the crest of the continent or a
snowslide somewhere in the great
mass of peaks west of Denver
might break the connections at
any minute on the costliest Of
telephone lines, whic IS the pride
OF the Bell system.
But there are skilled trouble
hunters, or "trouble shooter" as
they are sometimes called in every
district where such danger threa-
tens. Several former trouble hun
ters are now employ ed at less dan
gerous telephone tasks in Denver.
These men have served their dan
gerous apprenticeship in the hills,
and now enjoy easier berths and
DO not have their employment
written down by insurance men

There is no more daring set of
men in the world tn. n this same
bunch of trouble hunters in the
Rocky mountains. All are expert
linemen, but more than that, they
are cool headed aud experienced
mOuntaineers No tenderfoot
could carry out trouble hunters
work for 1ueAday in winter On I op
of the great divide. The trouble
hunter may be called on to repair
a break in line on the very sum-
init Of bald mountain. whose gran
ite slopes are hidden b-ueath
snowbanks forty feet deep. A
slide may sweep down upon him
at any time but the trou ole hun
ter never hestitates. He puts
up enough grub to last a day or
two, hoists a coil OF wire over his
shoulder and, weighted down with
his repair kit aud heavy clothing.
scuffs away on his skis or snow
shoes for the seat Of trouble.
The trouble hunter is prac
ticed ski runner and snowshoer,
He can pack from 100 to $50
pounds of supplies over the drifts
in seemingly impossible places.
Many of the trout BILE shooters
brigade have had narrow escapes
from death, but nobody ever beard
of one of these soldiers of industry
quitting in the face of dauger :.
Even when snow slides do not
menace there is always danger of
being cought IN a snow storm and
freezing to death. Clinging to
the top Of a telephone pole on the
Continental divide IN midwinter,
with gale blowing, is no uncom-
mon experience for these men.

COULDN'T DRINK IT ALL

Notwithstanding his 70 years, like
lots of others, Richard McAndrews
still apparently harbors the delusion
that he is physically able to consume
all the whiskey there is in the world.
Richard, while not exactly a resi-
dent of Medina, regards it as about
the nearest thing to home that he pos
sesses in that line, and though absent
a great deal of the time, drifts back
here anon to look over the field and
into familiar faces, incidentally pull
ing vigorously at a brown bottle.
His last trip this way, via Berea,
landed him here Saturday. He was
accompanied by jag and ample where
withal for the conjuring of a second
and third one. He took apartments
at the American hotel and got busy at
once. Sunday afternoon he was in
such drunken condition that Marshal
John Gates bundled him off to the lock
up. 4sI,
Monday he appeared before Mayor
Randall, who fined him 81 and costs
The sentence was suspended upon
Richard stating that his fall from
grace was more in the nature Of an
accident that had befallen him while
en- route to the county house. He was
released and when last seen was lop,
ing it south on the pike.
