THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

IL ACNAuASA ANdAAOudA 1nAOh
The farmer gets more out of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to a
city man is an entertainment; to a
farmer il is education. Let us take a
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger a moment at few of the points
Of greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds s
greatest thinkers.
You are now attending a congress of
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence of all ages. They are addressing
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 torch of
progress that will illuminate the path.
way Of civilization for future genera,
tions. 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.

FARMER RADF0RD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu-
ton of women to the world, and the
hearthstone is her throne. Our So
cial structure is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge
Her beautiful life lights the skies of
hope and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization. Her
graces and her power are the cumu-
lative products of generations of
queenly conquest, and her crown of
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom of sanity r1others. She
has been a great factor IN the glory
of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship. Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
Influences of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities of
the sordid affairs of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
Of our domestic welfare and a guide |
to higher life, but directing the af-
fairs of government is not within wo-
mans sphere. and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
he biscuits.
