AND AGRICULTURAL FAIR

AND AGRICULTURAL FAIR.
The above named organization, new
in its second year OF existence, met on
the school grounds on Octohe" eth
and 9Th, 1916.
The exhibits of fruit and vegetables
were fine considering the sixty days
of drought through which we passed
in July and August While the show
ing Of live stock and poultry was very
encouraging; this department h0ius
added for the first time this year, Bqt
he greatest feature of the occasion
was the presence OF the three demon
strators from Little Rock, Ark who
made the days both pleasant and prof
table. Mr.. Fitzpatrick, in his pleasing
manner, spoke on different lines OF
farming, while Mr.Forrester spoke o.
Animal Husbandry, showing the iw
portance OF having good stock insteIp
of the scrubs usually seen on most
farms
While the men were being enter
tanned so profitably, Miss Thursby
occupied the hall and interested the
ladies in demonstrations on Domestic
Science. She is surely a very capable
woman and to all the above named
workers we extend a very cordial wei
come to come again.
Mr.. Stewart, the horticultural agent,
gave US a short talk and promised tC
return in the near future and organize

BOONE COUNTY FAIR
Increased interest on the Part Of Both
Farmers and Townspeople Bring
Excellent Results.

The Boone County Fair, which open
ed it's gates on Tuesday last, is in
many respects the best fair ever held
in the section. The exhibits are fine,
zbe attendance good and the weather
50 far satisfactory. Today is School
!. Day and it is likely that the attend
uce will be a recOrd-breaker.
Exhibit Hall.
The big exhibit hall under the grand
stand is, for the first time in its his
tory, quite comfortably filled with eX-
hibits in the various classes. over
1900 entries have been made in its diff
fereut departments which include
fruits, farm products, kitchen and dai-
~ products, needle work, art etc.
Many compliments are being passed
on the general excellence of the dis
piay by visitors from other states and
cities, and those who have contributed
exhibits are proud that they have been
able to create so good an impression
sor their state and county.
The Farm Products Department,
with Otis Jackson in charge, shows
many good examples of the big things
which may be raised on an Arkansas
Mann, but is not as large as it should
Sc Our farmers are slow to learn that
ghis, the department in which they
should shine, and that it worth their
while to give it their heartiest interest.
The Fruit Exhibit, with L. A.
EIough as superintendent, is quite a
surprise, in view of the unfayorable
season. Some 200 entries include
splendid specimens of nearly all the
leading varieties of apples and most
attractive display of canned goods and
jellies, etc.
In Kitchen and Dairy Products the
display is small, but shOWssa growing
interest. c. d. Allison and Mrs. Oscar
Isiug have charge in this section and
have neatly arranged the good eats
IN a manner to make your mouth wat
or as you pass by.
For the first time this year an eX-
! hibit of considerable extent and strik-
qg beauty is mode in the Floral Dc.
Eayamant Miss Lizzie Holt has
charge in this class, and is to be com
plimented on the excellence of her
exhibit.
In the Art Department Miss Margie
Redus has small but quite merito,
,Tious collection of paintings presented
by home artists.
The Ladies Aid Society of the NJ. f.
l 5. Church presented a large exhibit
Dt its artistic needlewOrk; and Doc
Eagle is on hand with his usual com
qrehensive display of farm products.
The needlewOrk display is the big
feature of the Exhibit Hail and has
been attractiyely arranged under the
direction of the superintendent, Miss
Effie Davis. Over $50 entries have
been made in this class, including a
splendid display of quilts and com.
lt0rts, as well as plain and fancy sew.
1sng, embroidery, crochetted work
anitting, etc.

department is engaged at present in
working out the detailed plans for
such gun and mortar. and it is believed
t hat they will successfully solve the
problem. in which event provision can
be made for the rapid acquisition of u
number of such mortars and guns.
Aside from the usual estimates sub

nance of existing fortitica tons and
those for the completion OF fortifica-
tons recently started. the estimates
submitted by lie department had in

Singing Society to Present Opera
Address by Mr.. Brownlow.

The Community Singing Society met
Tuesday night in the Thompson School,
18th and /. streets northwest, and re-
hearsed for the public production of the
opera Martha"
Commissioner l.. T. Brownlow gave
a short talk on the benefit of such a
society to the community. He said that
il was not lack of enthusiasm and in
terest but lack of participation by the
American people that made so many of
the public educational and uplift works
so weak, and that such a tendency was
sure to have its effect on the general
welfare of the country. Mr.. BroWnlow
urged that everything be done to foster
the work that has been started and
pledged his interest and support
Albert W. Harmed is directing the
chorus and will have special practice
for men at 80 Tuesday night, before
the regular rehearsal. Singers and
those who wish that they could sing
are always welcome.

An enemy torpedo boat and two other
ships sailed from the port in order to cap

Eaeroplanes. Finally two aeroplanes.
piloted by Naval Cadet Namos and a
lieutenant, were sent out and rescued all
four inmates of the damaged aeroplane

true of the Notifications at Cape Henry.

New Era in Coast Defense.

1t is believed to mark the entrance
upon new era in the artillery end of
the defense of the country. New prof.
ects, of which the eless-controlled
torpedo invented by John Hays Ham
mond, jr.. is one of the most interest
ing, are scattered throughout the bill
AS an example of the new prepared
ness thought which has gripped the
attention of the country, the fortifica-
tons bill is, in plain language. "a
thriller" 1t provides for the great
wide mouth guns similar to those which
battered paths for the armies of Eu-
rope at the beginning of the present
onslaught.
1t provides for hundreds of thou
sands of tons of new Seacoast can
non. in addition to giving a ten-mil-
lion dollar start to the new War De-
pa rtment project covering field artii-
lery. 1t provides for a greater ammu-
milton reserve than ever before. and
allows a million dollars with which to
make a start at modifying private fac
tories for wartime use. In other words,
the bill carries provision, similar to
that made a hobby by Representative
Tilson of Connecticut. whereby pr-
waite factories will be equipped with
tools and machines with which to turn
out ammunition, etc, at the proper
time,

Other Places to Be Fortified.

Having outlined the Taft board prof.
ect, the Sherley report on the present
bill says:
IAN additional sum will be necessary
for the fertilization of places that will
doubtless need to be fortified within d
few wears, but for which no definite
scheme has been recommended, these
latter Notifications being largely for
Alaska Guam and Guantanamo. The
boards report contemplates additional
fortificat tons at Portland, Boston. New

land sound, Sandy Hook. including
Rockaway Beach, Delaware bay, Cape
Henry Charleston, Pensacola, New Or
leans, Galveston. San Francisco, Column
bia river, Puget sound in continental
United States, in Hawaii, the Philip
pines and at the Panama canal
"While it may not be proper to state
in detail the proposals made, il is
proper to state that the ends sought
by the additional armament are at GER
tain points to defend the harbors and
existing defenses against long-range
naval bombardment, made necessary
bv the increased range of guns of mod
eru battleships, to increase the volume
of gunfire at certain places in order to
make it adequate to meet the in
creased volume of gunfire that could
be directed against the fortification by
a feet Of modern warships; and in a
few instances to cover water areas not
covered effectively by existing arma-
ment; and to deny to a n enemy the use
of certain harbors not now protected.
