3rd Annual Fair Over
Exhibits Were Good

The third annual Redwater Val
ley Fair which was held at this
place last Friday and Saturday
was a success in every way but
the attendance, this being very
Lyor this year. The reason for
the attendance being small was
due to the cold disagreeable
weather which prevailed, and
threshing.
On Friday the attendance was
not very large but on Saturday
afternoon a fair crowd had gather
ed, but as to the exhibits, which
consequently was not as numer-
Gus as last year, was exceptionally
fine of vegetables, grain and corn.
The corn exhibit was really
wonderful for this year. There
were even ripe watermelons there.
These were grown by Still Wilkins
of Money Patch Farm" The
stock exhibit also was good, what
there was of it. The best exhibit
though was in the Ladies Depart
ment at the school house. We
can't begin to describe all the
beautiful pieces of fancy work
seen there, let alone mentioning
all the good things in the domes-
tic line. The school exhibit was
also very good.
If the weatherman had only
been a little more generous, the
fair would have been a decided
success in every way.
County Agriculturist George
Piper, together with j. C. Taylor
the Custer county agriculturist
gave interesting speeches during
both days and also assisted as
judges at the fair.
Music was furnished during
both days by the band and on
Friday evening a Band Concert
was given at the hall, which was
highly appreciated by the large
crowd which was present and was
really very creditable taking into
considers ton that it was the first
ever put on by the Band. The
program consisted uf number of
selections by the band, besides
several solos and reading. The
piano solo by H. D, Bridge was

Fire Destroys ZOO
Ton Of Hay

A report was received at this
office last Saturday to the effect
that H. S. Cutting, one of the
most prominent sheep ranchers
on head of Mcclure had the mis-
fortune CT having about 200 ton
of hay destroyed by fire on Thurs
day night of last week.
The fire was not discovered be-
fore it was beyond control but af-
ter a desperate fight managed to
save the barn which stood close
by.
The cause of the fire is unknown
This was indeed a severe blow
to Mr.. Cutting, to lose all his hay
at this time with winter coming
on.

Hennepin County Rejects
Prohibition By 5000

In the Minneapolis Tribune of
last Tuesday, October 5th, we note
that Hennepin County in which
the city of Minneapolis is situated
rejected County Option by a ma
jority of 5000, as the result of the
election held last Monday. Out
OF thirteen wards in the city, nine
voted wet and four dry. Over
10000 votes were cast.
This was one of the hardest
fought battles ever attempted be-
tween the drys and vets and has
been watched with considerable
interest throughout the North
west.

portion of dutiaole imports at the
higher rates would have brought into
the nations treasury during the first
seven months of this year some $50, OOO. =.
600 more than has been collected in
customs. For the entire year the gain
would be considerably better than a
hundred million dollars. The nation
would be that much nearer meeting its
expenditures than it is today.
Coupled with a reasonable measure of
economy in administering the affairs of
the government instead of the extrava.
gsnce of the last three years. the effect
would have been to produce comfor.
table surplus where there is deficit
that Is causing general concern.
As things stand, we face bond issue
to take care of the country's obi ga ions
the first since Clevelands time. The
situation Is being ascribed to war COM
plications. to the new need for improv.
ed defenses, to ANYTHING but its true
cause. 1t is due to the tariff changes,
nothing else.

ly state, as he did, that the men were
not drunk, when he was not on the
scene. We can furnish proof that the
men were drunk. They was also sui.
ficient amount of liquor displayed to
start a small saloon. This, however,
was removed before daylight by per-
sons interested in cleaning away the
evidences Of the wreck. If the deputy
sent by the sheriff is not capable Of
determining a thoroughly intoxicated
man when he sees and talks with him,
we would suggest that he send one who
can.
As further evidence of what the citi.
zens north of Owosso have been obliged,
80 far to endure, We would add that
last Sunday morning, along the road
in front of q certain farm, 81 beer bot.
ties and whiskey bottles were the
mute witnesses of only one nights
csrousal.
We appreciate the sheriff's sympathy;
but the fact Is we do not want to know
what the officers intend" or "wish" to
do. We want them to ACT

Want Action.

We would like the officers of the law
and the law. makers of this county to
know that there are some decent people
living north of Owosso. and that they
do not propose to compel their wives
and daughters to listen to drunken
carousal parties by the roadside, where
vulgar and profsne language lie accom-
panied by the clink of beer bottles
Neither do they believe it obligatory
that the should be kept home from
town on Saturday evening, or any other
evening for that matter, because Of the
wild and reckless usage Of the public
highway by drunken men which makes
such an undertaking actually danger.
Gus.
When law abiding citizen cannot
ride a.ong the road without being run
into by drunken crew, as was done
last Sunday night. it is time something
was done. Referring to that accident,
we would like to ask on what authority
the sheriff Of this county could positive.

Opening of Anti. tuberculosis Cam

Opening Of Anti. tuberculosis Cam.
paign.
Cadillac, Oct. 1.-THE first week of
Michigans 100000 anti-tuberculosis
campaign has demonstrated the fact
that the fight was opened at strategic
point. Wexford county is perhaps bet
ter ready for such a campaign than
most of the rural counties of the state.
There is here a wall developed senti
ment in favor of such movement, and
the people of the county are ready to do
what they can in co operation with the
state health workers.
As long as five years ago active
health propaganda began in Wexford
by the appointment Of permanent
visiting nurse. For the past two years
Miss Jennie A. Mace has held that pos
ition, and she and her predecessor have
been spreading the doctrine of good
health throughout the entire county.
Cadillac moreover has the distinction
of being one of the few of the smaller
cities of Michigan that has sanitar
um of it's own. This institution was
opened short time ago through the
efforts of the anti.tuberculosis society
of this city. 1t has capacity of seven
beds and at present three persons are
being taken care of there AS soon as
proper arrangements can be made the
sanitarium will probably be taken over
by the county. In fact, the county is
already bearing part of the burden of
maintaining it. 1t is at present in
charge Of Cadillac's visiting nurse.
The Cadillac Anti. tubercu' osis Soci.
ETY. has, for a number of years, been
power in Wexford county. 1t was or
ganized in February, 1910, and it has
never been allowed to become inactive.
1t boasts of the amazing membership
of $50, in city of only 10000, and dur.
ing the present snti.tuberculosis move
ment another membership campaign
will be launched by the local officials.
All in all the people of Wexford
county are in receptive mood for an
titu berculosis campaign, which is
one of the reasons why Wexford was
chosen as the point at which to begin
the attack. Barry will follow Wexford
and Ottawa county will be visited after
that.

Tho Tariff, Not The War.

An unusually Informative presenta'
ton of statistics about foreign trade Is
to be found in the monthly summary Of
foreign commerce just issued by the
department of commerce. The volume
brings the returns down to the end OF
July, and its customary grouping of
imports for periods running from the
opening of the calendar year to the end
of the time covered by the summary
offers material for thoughtful study in
these DAYS when superficial and often
misleading comment is outcoming about
the nations revenue.
The import returns are shown for the
period from January 1 to July 81 for
each of the three years, 1918, 1914 and
1915. 1t happens chat these are rep.
resentative periods of three different
conditions. In 1918 the country was
under the Payne. Aldrich tariff. In
1914 the Democratic tariff was in opera.
tion and the war had not started. In
1915 both the Democratic tariff and the
war were exerting their influence
Comparison of the three periods will
therefore reveal fairly accurately what
has been the extent of the wars effects
in causing the present disturbing state
of the nations finances.
The comparison can best be made by
tsbulating the returns for the three
periods. The departments summary
shows imports as follows:
