100000 GUESTS HAVE
ATTENDED TRENTON FAIR
Exposition Has Entertained Remark
able Number of Patrons In lite
twenty eight Years.

Presenting a history Of remarkable
progress since its establishment, twen-
ty-e1ght years ago, the Trenton Fair
last season passed the three million
mark in total attendance from the time
of its opening.
Bespeaking approval for the man
agement of this leading exposition Of
the East, each year has seen a relative
advance in the total number of those
present In the few years that the
| figures for the week did not exceed
those Of the former season rain pre-
vented the holding of the exposition
for one or more days. But the per-
centage of attendance was greater for
the clear days than it had been pre-
viously.
Establishing its reputation by keep
ing in the forefront of all that is new,
Trenton Fair has drawn its patronage
from a widely increasing circle. 1t
has continued on, growing stronger
while other fairs more favorably stu
ated In populous centers have closed
their gates Educational and enter
IdlHllS, IL udS Always udu something
new to amuse and interest its hundreds
of thousands of guests each year.
Unwilling to rest on their achieve
ments. the officers of the Fair set new
standards for themselves each season,
and the 1916 Exposition, to be held
from Sept % to 30, they feel confident,
will be the banner year Of their ex.
istence
Established in 1888, the Fair that
year attracted 1895 patrons Higher
and higher the figures went as the
worth of the Exposition was more fully
recognized and in 1912 they had leap
ed to 154,109. Last year, even with
the great reduction that had to be met
because of the inclement weather. the
total for the week was 129.647 persons
In its twentyeight years 3,059,3S1
patrons have passed through Its gates

SOME FACTS ABOUT WATER
Neither Acid, Base Nor Salt-It Is in
terestipg to the Students of
Chemistry.

To the ordinary individual water
is just water and nothing more. To
the student of chemistry water is one
of the most interesting substances
which come under his observation.
To begin with, chemical substances
are divided fundamentally into posi-
tive and negative charges which
unite to form various compounds.
Let us consider three chemical COM
pounds-a base, an acid, and salt,
Popular Science Monthly says.
Hydrogen, which is strongly posi-
tive, is the essential element
in acids. Hydrogen and oxygen
are the essentials in bases. An
acid is composed of hydrogen
and some negative element or
some radical" Examples are
iodine and (SO4) sulphate. A base
is composed Of positive element,
such as sodium or copper, combined
with a hydroxid radical, which is one
atom of oxygen. A salt is a combi-
nation of any negative and positive
element, as, for example, ferric chic
ride (FeCl2). When a base is mixed
with acid it becomes neither acid nor
base, but reverts into salt and water,
the salt dissolving into the water.
Now that we understand the
meaning of a salt, an acid and
base, let us consider water. Water
is a chemical combination of two
atoms of hydrogen and one of oxy-
gen, written H2O. In one sense-at
least according to the symbol-that
is a salt, the positive H uniting with
the negative 0. In another H2O is
an acid, the acid element H joining
with the negative 0. If we write
the symbol for water as Ell (OH),
we have a base. However, water is
neither an acid, a base, nor a salt,
although theoretically, as we have
shown, it may be considered as any
one of the three. Water is neutral,
which accounts for its high value in
chemical experiments of all sorts.

S2S,S45.O2 IN TAXES
Itemized Statement of the Febru airy
COllec ions.

The collections in the county treas
urer's office for the month of February
were just about on an average with
the usual amount collected during the
month of previous years. The March
collections will of course boom up to
a much larger amount, as is always
the case, but indications are that the
collections for the month of March
this year will exceed those of the
same month last year. County Treas
urer 7. f. Graham and his deputy,
Frank w. Wright, have made a new
record for the trcasurer's office this
year, and have established a new sys-
TEN whereby they have all receipts
written for the entire year, at the
present time. This is time saving
system, beneficial to all parties con-
cerned. Heretofore one wishing to
pay taxes curing the month of March,
would be compelled to wait for ten,
fifteen or twenty minutes while the
entire receipt was being made out.
With the new system, the placing of
the date, and the signature of the
treasurer or his deputy, makes it pos
sible to care for the receipt in from
three to four minutes. Following is
the amount of money collected dur
ing February of this year, and the dis
tribution in the various funds:
