INSPIRATION OF
THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural de-
partment of the county fair, yeu feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on a new power-that is the tnspira-
tion of the soil. You are. overpowered
by the grandeur and magnificence of
the scene-that is the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice of
nature calling you back to the SOIL
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. II is good chance to spend a
quiet hour in, contact with the purity
and perfection Of nature and to sweet
en- your life with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with it's beauty and expand
your imagination with it's power.
These products as food are fit for
the gods, and as an article of COM
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market ia. the world.
The products Of the soil are teachers
and preachers as well. Their beauty
gives human life its first entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
in artists; their purity furnishes mod
e's for growth of character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the won
derful process of nature.
Before leaving the parlor of agricul-
cure where nature is plrading in her
most graceful attire and science is
climbing the giddy heights Of 1perfec-
tfon, let us: pause and take O retro
speCtive view. How many of you
know that after these wonderful prod
ucts are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at a profit? Take the blush
ing E1berta, for example-they were
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year. The onion-the nations favorite
xeSeta5le-every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want of
market and as result hundreds of
farmers have lost their homes. Cot
ton-nature's apitalist-often goes
begging on. the market at less than
cost CT production.
1t is great to wander through the
exhibita while the band Is playing
Dixie" and boast OF the marvellous
fertility Of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but
it is also we'll to remember that there
is q market side to agriculture that
does not reflect its hardships in the
exhibits at q county fair.

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation is now in the midst OF
& controversy as to how best to pro-
mote universal peace. That question
euss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and it is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and efttimes'
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
In high places and hurled "gas bombs
at industry; thrust bayonets into bus
mess enterprises and bombarded az
riculture with Indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken Dip
lomatic relations with industry: sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny of commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter of a century We
have fought many a duel with prog
cess, permitted many politicians to
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to cry
out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched for explosives.
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should be given q
clearance to sail for the por. Of Uni
versal Peace. Let US by all means
have peace, but peace, Ike charity.

see how it can be cotfcended that
it is any more patriotic to advo-
cate two battleships to be built

profits to the builders, than it IS
to advocate two battleships to be
constructed by the Government,
which policy means that for every
dollar expended for bartleships'

also be eminently satisfactory to
the Naval League of the United
States, which organization has
from the first been an adjunct OF
the house Of Morgan, and is con-
stantly agitating larger and

to Mr.. A. H. Dadmun, the Sec

The French papers have been busy
of late with the case Of the "em-
busque," which is the name given to
the man who chooses a safe job In
the army. An incident seen last night
on the fringe Of Soho suggests that
1t is also applied to those who do not
choose the army at all. A couple OF
French soldiers over. here on leave
(they were in joyous mood, coming
down side street, passed the kitch-
ems of well-known French restau-
rant. They were attracted by the sight
Of the cooks in the kitchens and
studied them attentively through the
grating. Then they began to taunt
them with shouts of "Embusque!" The
harmless necessary French cooks be-
low, startled in this rough way in
their ambush" were furious. There
was an angry Gathering of pots and
pans and an elaborate slanging match
between the cooks and the soldiers.
The language was rich and varied,
and in the storm the sharp word "em-
busque" sounded like bitter refrain.

This was the end; and as she read
these words the horror which over

-- Last evening Shelby's clean record
vas blackened by outrageous crime.
Some time after nightfall a carter
was driving home by Factory road,
when, just as he was nearing Long
bridge. he came upon the body of
man lying without movement and
seemingly without life.
Knowing that in all probability an
hour might elapse before assistance
could arrive in the shape of another
passer-by, he decided to carry his

was fortunate his horses we're headed
that way instead of the other, or he
might have missed seeing the skulk-
ing figure which slipped down into the
ravine with a short cough, hurriedly
choked back. He could not see the
face or identify the figure, but he
knew the cough. He had heard it a
hundred times; and, saying to himself,
That's John Scoville,' he whipped his
horse up the hill and took the road to
Claymore.
And he was right. A dozen fel-
lows started up at his call, but Sco-
vile was not among them. He had
been out for two hours; which, the
carter having heard, he looked down,
but said nothing except Come along,
boys! I'll drive you to the turn of
the bridge
But just as they were starting Sco-
vile appeared. He was hatless and
disheveled and reeled heavily with
liquor. He also tried to smile, which
no rte
and with very little ceremony drag
him up into the cart. So with Sco-
vile amongst them they rode quickly
back to the bridge, the landlord
coughing, the men all grimly silent.
"One flash of the lantern told the
dismal tale. The man was not only
dead, but murdered. His forehead had
been battered in with a knotted stick;
all his pockets hung out empty; and
from the general disorder of his dress
1t was evident that his watch had
been torn away by a ruthless hand.
But the face they failed to recognize

But the fact was settled long be-

and another fact, too. In beating the

stick. When 1t was brought forward
and held under the strong light made
by a circle of lanterns big movement
took place in the crowd. The stick
had been recognized. Indeed, It was
