mile track. We have the stalls and
sheds already and if the buildings
above mentioned are constructed we
shall have all the equipment necessary
for racing purposes.
"To provide the grounds with the
buildings and race track above de-
scribed will require the expenditure OF
at least 100000. Where is the money
to come from? The citizens of Little
Falls have donated for the support of
the fair approximately 100000 year
for the last six years and it would have
been impossible for the fair society to
have maintained its existence and
made the Improvements that have been
made without this support. Because
this society has been organized and
largely supported by people in Little
Falls the country people have, to GER
tain extent, come to look upon this or
ganization as a Little Falls institu-
tion, maintained for the benefit of the
people living in that particular com
munity. This impression is entirely
wrong. The business men Of Little
Falls have furnished the support for
the fair society because they had to
do it or let it go out of existence. This
is the condition Of every fair society
in the state. That particular city or
village where a fair is located must
stand the principal part Of the cost Of
proviIing the necessary equi pment'
When the society is provided with the
means of doing business it will un-
doubtedly support itself, but until that
time it will have to call for donations.
The business men Of Little Falls, how
ever, have done their share and it Is
up to the farmers and those interested
in racing to do the rest. The equip
ments above mentioned are absolutely
necessary for the maintenance OF sue
cessful fair and they should be provio-
ed during the next year and not drag
over period of five to ten years. The
raising of 100000 when properly dis
tributed throughout the county will
not be felt by anyone. There are
thirteen Farmers clubs in the county
which can easily furnish 10000 6
piece; there are large number OF
other societies that could do something
and when we consider that the schoo
for the erection of School Building
and the women OF the county lalSet
100000 for the construction Of {
i Woman's Building, the farmers Ger
tainly ought to be able to raise $4,000
for live stock buildings. The secretary
will furnish all the information re
quired concerning the condition Of thu
society and will be glad to be presen
at any meeting of the Farmers clubs
or any other organization and explain
the management Of the fair, the i'm
provements needed and furnish sucl
information as may be required from
this Offce.''

IF you have ever ridden along a

to a peak in the center so that your
load tilted one way while you tried to
keep your balance by fitting the other,
you know what the wrong kind of

should be reported to the road super

roads are positively dangerous. Help
the good roads cause by seeing that the

London, Sept 21.-In an effort to
retrieve in part their lost territory,
the Germans, despite the bad weather.
made violent counter attacks against
the French over a three-mile front in
the region of the Priez farms and
Bouchavesnes, north of the Somme.
In mass formation, the Teutons
threw attack after attack along the
line from o'clock in the morning I'M
til dark, and at the end of the day the
French were everywhere holding their
positions, according to Paris, and the
battlefield at points was covered with
German dead.
Dislodged With Baycnets.
During the fighting the Germans
penetrated the northeastern part OF
the village of Bouchavesnes, but here
the French met them with the bayo-
net and dislodged them. Four assaults
at the Priez farm in which the Ger
mans came on in waves were repulsed
by the French, whose observers assert
that the Germans at last withdrew in
disorder. leaving many dead behind
them.
On the British front the Indictment
weather still holds the opposing sides
to artillery duels.
Teutons RepuIse Russians.
In the Eastern theater, in Russia and
Galicia, both Berlin and Vienna report

in the Lutsk sector of Nolhynia, and
southeast of Lemberg iu Galicia.
Local successes for the Russians in
the Carpathians are conceded by the
Teutonic allies, who say, however, that
on the whole the Russian attacks in
this region were repulsed.
Down in Pennsylvania where the
Roumanians have been fighting against
the Austro-Hungarians, the Invader
apparently have met with serious re-
verse in the region of Hatzseg, where
they have been driven back by the
Teutonic allies to the Pennsylvania
Alps and the town of :Petroseny and
the Szurduk pass, through which they
entered Pennsylvania in the region
have beer recaptured from them.
BuIqars Claim Successes.
In Dobrudja, where the Russians
and Roumanians have been heavily re-
inforced along the line south of the
Constanza railway from the Black sea
to the Danube, the tide of the battle is
ductuating. Sofia reports successes
for the arms of the Bulgars at certain

reply to his request for an opin-
ion, Mayor Bert E. Patterson is
in receipt of a letter from Thom-
as H. Peoples, Attorney General,
IN which he states the belief that
1t is unconstitutional for a i alder
man on town council to hold
also the position of clerk and
treasurer. 1t has always been
customary here for the Town
Council to elect one of its num-
Der to the position of clerk and
treasurer which pays salary of
$l25 per annum, but the question
OF the legality of the proceeding
was brought up owing to the
fact that there were several ap.
pllcants for the place.
