The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1915-04-29

Maryville business men and
farmers are still of the opinion
that Blount county should have
an annual fair.
Nothing has been said con-
corning this project for several
but the idea has not been
abandoned. The suggestion that
a fair be held annually has caus-
ed many farmers of the county
and business men of Maryville to
consider the question. And it
seems that the suggestion has
met with universal approval. The
only question that puzzles those
favoring the plan is, "Who will
take the initiative in the mat
ter?" And certAlAly this is a
matter that should concern the
men of the town and county. 1t
will not take long to make all
necessary arrangements for a
county fair this fall if the right
man or men can be found to take
the leadership.
A county fair will not only
benefit the farmers of the coun-
ty, but it will benefit the busi-
ness and professional men of the
town. Anything that helps the
country man helps the town.
Good roads help the country
folks, and good roads help the
people of the town. Realizing this
to be true the men of the town
and rural communities co-operat-
ed in their efforts to get an issue
of bonds for the construction of
pike roads, and the issue of
100000 was ordered.
Now, it seems to us that the
men of the town and rural Sec
tions should get together in this
proposed fair project, and "put
it across" The former president
of the Board of Trade said that
one of the most important things
that organization had done was
to help secure the passage of the
pike bond issue. It's work was of
telling effect, and the activities
of its members in working to
create sentiment for good roads
and favoring a bond issue, result
ed in much good.
The county is going to have
good roads. The Board of Trade
helped give them to the county.
When the county is threaded
with pixies, farmers will take
more care of their farms, better
stock will be placed on the farms,
finer poultry will be raised and
better produce will be brought to
the markets. Nothing will do
more to inspire farmers to place
better stock on their farms than
a county fair. When a better
grade of live stock is put on the
farms, it is going to mean more
for the farmers and more
for the business men of
the town. Anything, then, that
will help the farmer should be
backed by the Board of Trade.
We believe that the Board of
Trade is the proper agent to get
behind the fair project.
1t has had and now has live,
wideawake officials. To make an
organization an effective force in
a community it must have some
definite mission to perform. And
unless it is everlastingly working
at something, it will become a po-
tentiaI rather than a dynamic
force in the community. The
Board of Trade has definite
things it is working to accom-
Dlish, and it will ever be a dy-
manic force. 1t is a Board of
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1915-04-29
SUGGESTS BOARD OF
TRADE ORGANIZE
COUNTY FAIR
Business Men and Farmers
Want It, But Who Will
Take the Lead?

Trade for the town and the coun-
ty, and it's activities should con-
tinue to extend throughout the
county. We believe that at the
of the Board the coming
week, some action concerning the
fair project should be taken. Bus
mess men want it, farmers want
it, we all want it, and it will be
helpful to all of us. The thing
most needed now is a man or
men to take charge and put the
thing through.
Illustrations are the most con-
vincing arguments. We can LOOK
all around us and find benefl,s
that have come to counties
through their live stock shows
and county fairs, and we can
look about us and see that coun-
ties which have not taken an in
terest in these things are not
much in advance of their condi-
tion twenty years ago. An East
Tennessee town about the size of
Maryville, with prospects for flu
ture development not any better,
if so good, as Maryville, is one of
the largest live stock and poultry
centers in the South. This indus
try, weare told, has been built up
largely through the agency of
the county fair, which has had
the support and influence of the
Board of Trade in the town.
There is no place in East Ten
nessee more adapted to live stock
raising and paultry raising than
Blount county. Large pasture
fields, well shaded and watered,
railway facilities excellent, mar
kets nearby, good highways, ev-
erything conducive to the pro-
duction of the highest grade of
live stock. Farmers are begin
ming to put upon their farms
much better grade of stock thar
they had five years, or even one
year, ago. A few weeks ago q
Chilhowee farmer paid the high
est price ever paid for a calf in
Blount county, and proposes to
begin raising only thoroughbred
stock of the best grade. His ac-
tiOn will inspire other progress
sive farmers to do likewise. If
these various farmers assemble
their stock annually, and COM
pare it and study together plans
for further improvement of the
live stock in the couty, Blount
will soon outstrip other East
Tennessee counties in the quality
of it's stock and poultry.
The purpose of all citizens in
the county is to continue the CO.
operative spirit which has ever
been so prominent in the urban
and rural communities. Nothing
is more conducive to a continual
tion of this spirit than a county
fair, participated in by the men
from the farms and the men
from the town. There are many
features and many details which
will have to be worked out in
committees, etc., but the county
fair is important to every bread
in the county, and it is
only matter of time until the
county will have a fair.
We believe that the Board of
Trade is the proper agency to
take up this project, work out
the plans, secure the necessary
funds, present the matter to the
county court, get its cooperation
and help inspire the farmer to
continue his present plan of put
ting nothing but the very best
stock and the very best grain
and the very best fruit on his
property.

HONEST ADVERTISING.
Law Put to the Test in OHIO Trial for
Merchant.

If one advertises in Ohio to sell
all wool trousers for s2.95 a pair, it
behooves him to be sure they are all
wool. Otherwise the State is likely
to prosecute. And the action Will be
constitutional, declares a Cincinnati
court.
The honest advertising act was
passed by the legislature in 1913. 1t
declares that one who tries to sell
goods through an advertisement
which contains any assertion. rep
resentation or statement Of fact
which is untrue or deceptive, shall
be guilty of misdemeanor. A
merchant of Cincinnati, it seems.
doubted the efficacy of the law. and,
on being accused OF the practice con-
demned. assailed its constitutionality.
His trousers, it was declared, were
not all wool.
So the merchant will have to stand
trial for deceptive advertising. The
trousers will be brought into court
and their texture analyzed.
1t is we'll to have fixed in mind the
fact that dishonest advertising in
Ohio is prescribed. The statute put
upon the books two years ago was
sound law, designed to protect the
buying public from the arts of those
who might wish to defraud, and any
one who attempts to evade its clear
terms does so at his own risk.-Cleve-
land Plain-Dealer.

held off and dispatched a Russian
army of vast proportions, finally driv-
ing it back we'll into its own, terri

On the sea a british squadron de-
feated the German squadron which
was victorious off Chile. This en-
gagement took place off the Falkland
islands. German cruisers lombard
ed Hartlepool and Scarborough, and
the German armored cruiser Bluech-
er was sunk in the North sea by a
section of the British feet operating
there. German submarines became
especially active during the winter
monhs, sinking many warships and
merchantmen.
March opened with an announce
ment of British reprisal measures
against the Germans for the subma-
rine warfare and the development of
| battle in France.
British troops in France again be-
came active, taking notable ad-
vance at Neuve Chapelle. By the end
of March the Russian troops had pen
etrated the Dukla pass and entered
Hungary. April saw the beginning
of violent assaults upon the German
lines by the French east of Verdun
and the Meuse. The French stormed
the German position at Les Eparges
and about the same time it was Off
cially announced that the total of
British casualties to that date were
139,347. By the middle of April the
Russians had penetrated Hungary to
a point twenty miles over the border,
and the Germans had begun a sue
cessful assault upon the allied lines
near Ypres. For several weeks the
armies struggled back and forth los
ing thousands of men, gaining ground
one day and being forced to evacuate
their positions the next. In Gal'cia
during the first three days Of May the
German-Austrian forces broke
through the Russian lines and forced
retreat. Fifty thousand prisoners,
it was recited, were taken.
Around Ypres the British forces
lost ground and were finally forced
to evacuate an especially strong posi-
tion they had gained at an elevation
DESIGNATED as Hill No. 60. Almost
simultaneously the Russians began a
retreat from the Carpathian passes
and while this was in progress the
Cunard liner Lusitania, bound from
New York to Liverpool, was sent to
the bottom by a torpedo fired by a
German submarine. approximately
1900 lives were lost in the disaster.
The loss of Americans in the Lusi-
tania and other vessels which were
victims of Germanys submarine war
fare resulted in President Wilson pro-
testing against a continuance of such
tactics.
On May %. Italy declared war on
Austria-Hungary after having de-
nounced early in the month the triple
alliance treaty. The declaration of
war was quickly followed by raids
on the Austrian territory, bordering
on the Italian frontier.
