The officers of the fair association
never wrote pay check that pleased
them more than to pay $25 to the
West Hope farmers club for their ex-
hibit of grains threshed and in straw,
grasses, and vegetables. This depart
ment of the fair has always made a
very poor showing and this year was
much better than ever before. The
West Hope farmers club took hold of
the matter of arranging for an exhibit
and the different members gathered up
very creditable display. Supt. Haw
had arranged for good booths to dis
play the club exhibits and when the
load of samples was brought in by
Arthur Gamble it was nicely displayed
and materially helped in improving
one of the weak spots in the exhibits.
Other clubs had intended to have a
display, but the unreasonable weather
spoiled their plans and no showing
was made.
Outside of the live stock depart
ment, Chas. Coyle of Elkwood was
the largest premium winner at the
fair and had a long list of entries
that were prize winners in the indivi-
dual classes and in addition to those
he won second money or SIS for the
special farm product exhibit. Mr..
Coyle is still under 20 years of age
and his winnings make a showing
worth while.
Cecil Mcdonald, of Langdor
township is another boy that with
poultry entries drew a large premium
check and was the leading exhibitor
and prize winner in the poultry de-
partment.
IN the farm cured meat department,
which was new feature at this fair,
George Lothspeich of Langdon town
ship, won both first and second prize
for farm cured hams and C. B. Nc.
MILAN took the prize winning ham at
Scots per pound. He also won first
for farm cured bacon. Mrs. Robert
Binnie won first for pickeled beef.

paltments was generally very salts.

CITY EXPENDITURES LOWERED

The council at its meeting for the
month of August, held at the city hall
Monday evening passed bills on the
various funds covering street work,
extra policing and street lighting dur
ing the fair, supplies and board of
city poor, band appropriation and
other incidentals, amounting to
$3.50. SO. The annual appropriation
bill, under the heading of ''Ordinance
No. l66, was introduced providing
funds for city expenditures during the
coming fiscal year. The bill amounted
to $6, 700. 90, and is smaller than
that of previous years, though on
the lines Of retrenchment it will not
deprive the city of anything which the
taxpayers at present are privileged
with, the lowering of the amount
being owing to the decreasing of the
city's Indebtedness. The council also
gave its first reading to a new ordi-
nance which provides for the licensing
of peddlers and vendors of fish. Both
the Cavalier County National and the
Citizens State banks filed with the
council bonds in the sum of S6, OO(
each for their appointment as deposi
tories of city funds. The fire depart
frent put in requisition to the coun

Abbeville progress. (Abbeville, Vermilion Parish, La.) 1913-1944, 1915-01-16
Did You Ever
Stop to Think?

If you read this article through
thoughtfully you will, and if YOU
are young you will think twice.
Did you ever stop to think that
you do four things, just four and
no more? You think; you remem-
Der; you imagine; you act. When
you learn to think better, imagine
better or act better, you are increas-
ing your efficiency, and, therefore,
your income. You may feel that
you are very successful now.
Suppose, you are; it isn't a ques-
ton of what you know, but of how
beneficial practical business edu.
cation will be to you in addition to
what you already know. You will
agree with us that to violate a part
OF the laws of business means
partial failure, and to violate all
the laws means complete failure
Abbeville progress. (Abbeville, Vermilion Parish, La.) 1913-1944, 1915-01-16

You are also aware that to observe
part of the laws of business means
partial success, and to observe all
the laws means complete success.
Our aim is to help you observe a
higher per cent of the laws of Sue
cess, and. therefore, enable you to
be nearer the maximum success.
The late Prof. James of Harvard
declares that the average man only
uses ten per cent of his brain DOW
er. Suppose you are twice as CAP
able as the average man? Even
that would mean that yon are only
twenty per cent of your maximum
possibilities. The purpose of our
course is to produce maximum of
proficiency with a minimum effort
Did you ever stop to thirk that
eighty-ive per cent of the men of
his country are only earning SIS
week or less? That ninety-two
'er cent fail in business between
he ages of 40 and so? That ninety
i've per cent have no money at the

age of 90? We have been very sue
cessful in getting out of the eighty
five, the ninety-two and the ninety
five per cent class. Whv not LET
us help youJ We have been mar
velously successful in raiseng sala-
ries' as is conclusively proven by
the letters in our catalog> from for
mer students. The business world
wants thinkers and doors. There
a famine of high priced men TODAY;
there are thousands of men worth
a thousand dollars a year, but only
a few worth ten thousand a year.
Be the latter kind of a man; YOU
can if you will. We know that a
man is worth only about $500 a
day from the chin down, selling
but as high as a hundred
thousand dollars a year from the
chin up, selling brains. Be a chin
upper and sell the higher type of
)ralns; you can't afford to be
landowner; there's no room for
UGH man in the high salaried

One farmer with a cheap auto,
mobile has more invested in tina,
one piece of mechanism than the
average rural community as a
whole has in its public school
plant; and the owner of the auto
frequently spends as much on the
community spends for the total
maintenance of the school, includ-
ing the teachers salary. This is
one OF a number of significant
comparisons brought out by the

Gabrilowitsch Recital.

Ossip Gabrilowitsch, the Russian
pianist, gave rare recital at the Ma
tionaf Theater yesterday afternoon. 1t
was rare in the melodic beauty of the
program, rare in the blend of poetic in
depreciation with the skill of the ar
tist and rare in the fact that the audi
ence, as a whole, seemed to thorough
ly and sincerely appreciate what it ap-
plauded-and 1T applauded everything
with spontaneity and spirit. The mas
ter knew his power and he used it
without Limitation in finding and dis
closing new beauties in compositions
that have been played here again and
again by other famous artists. but with
less charm and apparent compre-
hension by their audiences.
The quaint Caprice Burlesque," OF
moresaue" Of Tscherepnine, the dainty
"Gavotte, in D Major" of Glazounow
the beautiful "Impromptu in B Flat
Ma jor" of Schubert, the exquisite ''Noc-
turne in Major" Of Chopin, the
Variations Serieuses" and the brilliant
and emotional Sonata Appassionata'
of Beethoven were all given with a
charm and exquisite artistry that won
and wrung splendid tributes of ap-
plause, continued at times until the ar
tist had been recalled as many as four
times to bow his Acknowledgements
Moszkowskis "Etude de Concert" was
the final number on the printed pro-
gram, but the applause which followed
won a delightful encore the second of
the afternoon.
The recital was the fourth of the
Ten Star Concert Series" which is
being presented weekly by T. Arthur
Smith, and the audience was a large
one. generously represented in every
section of the house.

Happy Eadings

The yarn with happy ending
may quite old-fashioned be, but
it is often lending much happi-
ness to me. Too many authors
bore us with tales that rend the
heart. and then stand UP before
US and talk about their art.
like the kind of story that leads
aggressive chaps through perils
dire and CORY, and fifty kinds of
scraps. The hero and the maiden
should meet all sorts of woe. and
for a time be wadin' in snares set
by the foe; that Shiny foe, exult-
ing, should triumph for a while,
and then go catapulting out to
the garbage pile. The villainous
and sinful should get the hook,
say |, while virtue, glad and grin
ful, gets closer to the pie It's
useless, tiresome pressing, the
yarn the author tells, unless we
find it closing with sound of we'd
ding bells. And while the hero's
banking his hard-earned roll OF
kaie, the villain should be clank-
ing his fetters in a Jail. When to
the bookstore vending for some
thing to peruse, look for the hap
py' ending-pay- nothing for the
blues. WALT MASON.

NACCURACY IS ALLEGED.
Senator Sterling Corrects Report
Published of His Recent Address.

To the Editor of The Star:
Permit some correction. in the report
made for The Star of my address at the
meeting of the Cushing Camp. Sons Of
Veterans, at g. A. r. Hall last Thurs
day evening. Waving number of in
accuracies in what purport to be
quotations from the address. the report
is so erroneous and misleading in one
or two important matters that I cannot
in justice to myself let it stand uncor-
rected.
The statement that I spoke words in
praise Of President Wilson is wholly
gratis; not that could find nothing for
which to praise the President, but on
this occasion I ventured nothing in
praise of him or his administration
either in regard to the European war
situation or anything else. Instead of
saying, as the reporter has, that "a
nation never loses anything by
giving notice to the world of it's neu-
trality," thought quite foreign to my
mind. / did say that a nation never
loses anything in the end by standing
for the observance of treaties to which
1t is party, especially those which de-
fine the rights of neutral nations, and
that. having stood for such observance
it would. If called upon to act as pacifi-
Gator. command more respect and have
greater influence than If it had ignored
the violation of such treaties.
