IMPROVING FAIR GROUNDS.
Grand Stand to be Enlarged, and
Base Ball Diamond Changed.

The managers of the Winneshiek
county fair are going to make some
extensive Improvements at the fair
grounds this year A very enthusiast
tic meeting of the officers and a large
number of business men was held
at the city nall last THURSDAY night,
and the ball was set rolling to build
up one of the biggest ana pest 2oun-
ty fairs in the state.
Contractor A. Il. Coifeen has been
given the contract to rebuild the
grand stand. Another sectiUn will
be added, which will give seating ga
pacity to about $500 people The
present judges stand will be torn
down, and removed entirely frcm its
present location, and will be placed
on top of the grand stand, in the
center. The band stand will be
transferred from the east end l. the
west end of the amphtneatre, and
the new seating addition built on in
its place.
The base ball diamond will be
changed to north and south, directly
in front of the amphitheatre, So ev-
eryhody can see the game from any
section Of the stand. A high wire
screen will be erected just across the
track to protect patrons or the grand
stand from foul balls. This new ar
rangement will certainly De fine and
the spectators will have an excellent
view of everything going on N front.
The attractions alreaay booked
are the best the managers have had
in years. One attraction, alone,
auto polo, will be worth coming
miles to see. 1t was one OF the big
gest attractions at last years state
fair. The professional auto racers
will be on the program again also.
Arrangements are being. made for
night programs. A beautiful line Of
fireworks has been secure1, scme-
thing that will amaze all. This and
auto polo will be two of the night at
fractions. The latter, of course, will
be on the afternoon program. also.
The stock exhibits VIII be given
special attention this year, and oil
farmers of the country are invited
to cooperate with the fair managers
in making this exhibit the biggest and
best in the state.
With a good, early start and ev
erybody boosting we predlcr great
fair here next fall. If gooi attrac
tons and fair treatment to all means
anything, the Winneshiek County
Fair of 1916 will go down n history
as the biggest and best evac held
here.

The Booster and the Killer.

Nearly every town has two classes
of citizens-the boosters and the
killers, says an exchange. All the
world loves the former but even the
devil shuns the latter. The town
boos er is known by everybody, for
he is always doing and saying some
thing to push his town ana its peo-
pie along. He is the man who makes
the town. The killer is the one who
destroys it,
The h2oster never loses anything
by his boosting. He boosts other peo-
pie and her people boost him, and
through this combination of boosting
great things are accomplished. 1t is
only the killer who falls of his own
weight, of his own words, of his own
sunshine on a cloudy day He
brightens everything and everybody
around him. His geniality, his cheer
fulness, his energy and his good
deeds breed hope in the bosom of
despair. His words and acts aid 9TH
ers and ennoble himself But the
killer only kills-just kills, kills,
kills.
This town has many boosters, and
you all know them, you admire them,
you respect them. And your respect
is more precious to the genuine boos-
ter than is your gold. 1t is only the
killer who stands alone, without
friends, without hope for the future.
There may be killer or two in this
town but we hope not. But If there
are any we hope they cease killing
and go to boosting. There is no hon
or or profit in killing, but there is
much to be gained through boosting
We need the booster-we need
more boosters. But we can exist
; handsomely without the killer, fol
the killers principal diversion in life
is to take knock at the town, at it,
people, at their ways, and at every
thing and everybody connected there
with. Heaven loves booster-ant
hell is full of killers. Eyerybod,
: boost.

CLOSE UP ARMY SCHOOL V|LLISTAS KILL AND ROB
SAYS INTERVENTioN AWAITS RE
 SUIT OF ELECTION.
Regular Army Is Short More Than 1000 Lieeteaaats More Than
 400 Examined.

Fort IeaVenWofth, Kansas.-The decision not to reopen the army service school here and the cavalry number of officers had reported for instruction and classes had been or ganiZed, has strengthened the belief that regular army officers have enter tained that military intervention in Mexico is inevitable.
 It has always been the conviction of many army officers that nothing ex- cept the coming presidential election has prevented directions to the army to clean up the north of Mexico and that, regardless Of the result of the election, intervention shortly after Would be almost certain.
 Ordinarily, the presence of officers detailed to the service schools would not be needed with their regiments until active operations were about to begin. Conditions created ty the in crease in the army, the organization of new regiments and the lack of sec ond lieutenants now, however, make it necessary for the student officers to return in order to keep the various regular commands u2 to service re quire-nents.
 The regular army still is short near ly 1000 second iieutenants, and prob ably not half the number required will be obtained as the result of the ex- aninations held last week. More than 400 young men took the examination at this post, and, ill spite of consid- erable relaxation Of requirements, it is not believed that half of the young men will pass. As result the first class at the military may be graduat- ed Jan. l and the second class July 1, when the second lieutenant is added to the army, making nearly 1000 addi- tional vacancies.
