COUNTY FAIR
THIS WEEK.
Closed Friday After Four Interesting
Days, Good Displays iu Exhibit Hall

The Boone County Fair which
closed yesterday after four days,
two of which were somewhat handi-
capped by rains, was enjoyed by
large crowds a good proportion Of
which were made up of our farmers
and stockmen.
The exhibition of Agricultural,
Products, Fruits and Canned stuff
was much better than last year,
and by another Fair it will be
necessary to enlarge the exhibit
Hall. In both Needlework and
Cooking the ladies made a good
showing and earned many prizes.
The showings of stock, especially
cattle and horses, evidenced astrong
Improvement IN the character of
animals 4 feature in these depart
ments was the Judging of the stock
by Prof Morgan L, S. veterinarian.
In awarding the prizes DR.. Morgan
gave short talks on the various ami
mails which were listened to with
interest by large crowds Of stockmen.
Another talker who interested a
good audience at the grand stand
Friday morning was ". J. Jernigan,
Of the |. 5. Department of Agricu!-
ture who spoke at length on the inn
portance of Boone County joining
with his department and securing
a farm Demonstration for the COM
ing year. Mr. Jernigan gave many
reasons why we of the south and of
this section need to be started right
in our methods of agriculture, and
urged that this is one of the best
ways of of getting in line with ad-
vanced systems.
The racing programs each day
were fully up to past standards and
at times the enthusiasm OF the
crowds was worked up to the high
est pitch.
Music throughout was furnished
by the Harrison Military Band of
twenty-five pieces and added greatly
to the enjoy ment Of all.
We regret that we are unable to
give the awards this week but the
full premium lists in all lines will be
published next week.
The management was quite dis
appointed both by the non-arrival
Of the Aero-plane and the disband-
ing of the Carnival company which
had been contracted for, but after
all the Fair without the amusement
features appealed to many of the
people who have always wished to
have it an agricultural event rather
than a circus.

a ed Examination for the Rank OF
TenderfOOt.

Another important step in the de-
velcpment of Harrison's Boy Scout
Troop was taken at the Grammar
School building last Saturday when
the Court of Honor consisting of a.
H. Brooks, J. R. Newman and K. NJ .
Fellows examined eleven boys for
advancement to the first rank Of the
organization. Scoutmaster Francis
kieter was absent, but under the
direction of Assistant Scoutmaster
Harry Newman the Troop made a
most satisfactory showing and de-
monstrated that the boys are of the
right sort and thoroughly in earn
est.
The bows examined for advance
ment were Frank Brooks, Neil Page,
Hugh Baumgardner, John Newman,
Sidney McReynolds, Glen Caldwell,
John Lewis, Carl Casteel, Aubrey
Riley, Delmore Rochester and Lex
Hull. Several other boys were pres.
ent who were unprepared for the
ordeal, but will take the examina-
ton later.
Parents of the town will find by
investigation that the Boy Scout
movement will be in every way ben
ehcial to their BOYS. While appeal
ing in many ways to boy nature, it
establishes for them a stronger
character and helps them b 9th NOR

For the sake of the boys of Harri-

When Prosecutor Remain was
preparing the final stages of his
red-light suit against the Idaho
hotel this afternoon. he found
that the occupants of the place
had fled, evidently terror-strick-
en- by the publicity given d street
by The Times.
The most conspicuous thing
about the whole place was a large
For Rent sign.
Nevertheless, Remain said that
he fully expected by late this aft
ernoon to have filed the red-Iight
suit against the hotel, and that
further suits of the same nature
probably would follow against
other houses in the locality.
II don't care for the girls them
selves in any of these SOS.
What the state wants to do is TO
close up the places, and we can
do this just as we'll with the, wom-
en- absent as with them in court,''
said Remain.
Mrs. M. franklin, proprietress
of the Greystone hotel, which is
known as one absolutely respect

why, there never is a police
man on ID street. We would hard

THE street is dark, too. Why
is that unless it is to help the
operations of the houses?"
Mrs. Franklin herself has been
insulted several times both on
the street and i'm her own hotel.
She once made a formal corr
plant to the police, she said to-
day, but she never saw any
change in the situation, and the
police themselves in their inter-
view put 1t squarely up to her to
prove that the district was filled

SEATTLE, March 23.-Five
dollars each o week for police

testimony, IL was agreed between

when Schuman was on the day

State commission has reduced the as

The manner III which the decision Of the

Town Officers in Kenosla County Make
No Requisition for Warming Signs.
At the recent meeting of the Keno
sha county board provisions were made
for the erection of signs on all roads
IN Kenosha county to warn visitors
against violating the new speed law.
1t was provided that the county
should pay for the signs with the I'M
derstanding that the town officers
would see to it that they were put up.
Not one of the town officers has made
any requisition on the county agent for
the signs. He has several of them
ready to be sent out just as soon as
the town officers come in after them.
The order of the board was decidedly
indefinite, but at that Agent Jones is
prepared to cooperate with the town
officials just as far as possible Some
of the town officers have declared that
they believed the putting up of the
signs worthless waste of time and

Mrs K Theirs Than
Celebrated Her Birthday in of Her
Daughter. Mrs. Charles Quares, Entertans
a Dnnner in Honor

Mrs. Louise K Theirs, still claimed
by Kenosha as one of its best beloved
citizens, will have reached the one
hundred and first milestone on her long
LIES journey, Saturday, October 2.
This in itself is remarkable for few
of US can hope to reach even the century
mark. But it is not the most remark
able fact in regard to Mrs. Theirs by
any manner of means.
Mrs. Theirs has kept young in spite
of her years. She is as progressive as
the youngest member of the most adj
vanced woman's club Of the state and
as interested in life and things as a
sixteen year-o Her kindness of
spirit and mellowed sweetness Of
character are a constant joy and in
spiration to those who are associated
with her. She is a recommendation
for the mothers of century ago who
brought up characterize, God-fearing,
serious minded and yet fun loving and
merry daughters, strong of body and
sturdy of spirit, ready to take up the
burdens of wifehood and motherhood
and do each day Is duty as it was given
them to do, cheerfully and uneomplain-
ingly and always holding out helpful
hand to those who needed aid or
comfort
Mrs. Theirs is most delightful when
found in a reminiscent mood, such as
the present writer discovered her in,
on her ole hundredth birthday a
year ago, in the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Charles Quarles, Milwaukee,
where she is still living.
