The West Shore towns which
adopted the loan not only have done

they have taken a long step toward
bringing the various communities
which make up the district into har-
monious whole. and 1t has laid the
foundation for a great and populous
city on the west bank of the Susque-

day may become a part of the Capital
City itself. But this school vote is
merely a step in the right direction.

Aid to Statesmen

Integrity. incidentally, is one of the
mightiest factors in salesmanship. If
you have a reputation for stating facts
exactly for never attempting to gain
momentary advantage through exag-
geration, you possess the basis of all
successful salesmanship.
Next to integrity comes personality
that indefinable charm that gives to
men what perfume gives to flowers.
Many of us thing of Statesmen as peo-
pie travelling around with sample kits.
Instead, we are all statesmen, every
day of our lives. We are selling our
ideas. our plans, our energies, our en-
thusiasms, to those with whom we
come in contact. Thus, the man of
genial presence is bound to accomplish
much more. under similar conditions,
than the man without it. If you have
personality. cherish it; If you have not,
cultivate it. For personality can be
cultivated, although the task is not
easy.
Nothing is so plentiful in America
as opportunity. There are more Jobs
for forceful men than there are force
full men to fill them. Whenever the
question comes up of buying new
works we never consider whether we
can make the works pay. That is a
foregone conclusion IL we can get the
right man to manage them.
"All successful employers of labor
are stalking men who will do the un-
usual, men who think. men who at

The Agricultural Fairs
pennsylvania Farmerl

The county and district fair season
is about over for the year. Reports
indicate that the season was a success
full one in point of attendance-and
attendance and the money left by the
visitors appear to be the only point
of view of the average fair manager.
But the close of a so-called successful
season Is a good time to take stock
of the net results of the fairs as a
whole. To the comparative few who
visit large number of county and
district fairs and have opportunity to
study the apparent purpose and the
evident result of fairs, there must be a
very grave question whether or not
these institutions as a class are ac-
complishing anything for agriculture; !;
certainly we must concede that they
are falling far short of their possi-
bilities. We made 1t a point to check
up on the class of yenders and the
quality of goods sold by them at the
fairs visited this season. AS a result,
we believe 1t safe to say that not
per cent. of the various articles sold
on a fair ground, not including farm
implements and such staple COM
modities of fixed selling price, are sold
at anything like their actual value
In other words, the concessionaries
who pay for the privilege of selling
their wares at county fairs regard
the fair visitors as easy marks" and
proceed to extract the largest possible
prices and give as little as necessary
in return. This in itself is perhaps a
small consideration, but the trouble is
that 1t characterizes the entire spirit
of a large percentage of the fairs.
They are out to get all they possibly
can from their fair patrons and give
as little in return as possible. The
fair has become a purely commercial
proposition, as much so as street or
town carnival, and agricultural inter-
ests are merely incidental. There can
be no objection to carnivals, adver-
tised and conducted as such; but there
is very pointed objection to hundreds
of institutions posing as agricultural
educational institutions in order to
draw money from the State Treasury
and then practising carnival methods
in the entertainment of their patrons.

So-called Agricultural Shows
[From the Right of way.l

A few years ago the best space on
the fair ground was allotted to the
exhibitors of agricultural implements
To-day the fakirs have the right OF
way and the exhibitors of agricultural
machinery at great many of the fairs
are given what space is left.
The result of this is that the ma
jority of manufacturers and dealers
in agricultural implements are cutting
out their exhibits at these fairs and
unless the managements wake up and
change their methods they will be left
with the fakirs.
The State pays out a great many
thousands of dollars to these so-called
agricultural fairs: the State appropri-
ates this money for agricultural pur-
poses. Our agricultural department
recognizes the fact that If the farmers
of Pennsylvania are to make the best
of their calling they must be educated
to better methods of farming. and also
recognize the fact that improved ma
chinery is essential to the development
of the agricultural interests of the
state.
The farmer is possibly more in
terested to-day in the gasoline engine
thing else. yet not one OF the so-called
agricultural fairs of Pennsylvania, so
far as we know, made any arrange
ments for a plowing demonstration in
connection with their fairs The thou
sands of farmers that attended the
blowing demonstration in the West
show the interest of the farmers as a
class in up-to-date methods. These
demonstrations were given entirely in
dependent of the fairs. Farmers are
asking to be shown and the agri-
cultural fairs missed a great oppor-
tunity when they failed to provide a
chance to allow the farmers to see the
different makes of gasoline tractors at
actual field work. The manufacturers
stood ready and were anxious to
demonstrate their machines. but were
only able to do so in actual field work
where they were able to secure ground
at their own expense.
II is to be hoped that before the next
Legislature makes an appropriation
/ for these so-called agricultural exhi-
bition Ii will know that the association
getting State aid Is going to give agri-
cultural exhibits that will be educa-
tionaf in place of crude, vulgar ex-
htbits that go as near the line of the
obscene as law officers that see not
will permit.

CAPITOL PARK EXTENSION

IT is expected that Governor Brum-
baugh, Auditor General Powell and
State Treasurer Young. compris-
ing the Board of Public Grounds
and Buildings, will have a conference
Tomorrow with Arnold w. Drummer,
the distinguished designer and plan
ner who will represent the State in
planning for the permanent treatment
of the Capitol Park zone. Warren H.
Manning will represent the city's in
terests.
Governor Brumbaugh will present
to the Legislature the results of this
study of an important problem and
there is little doubt that definite and
final steps will be taken at the ap-
preaching session to transform the
old and new sections of the park so
that the environment of the Capitol
will be in harmony with the dignity
and beauty of that great structure.
Fortunately for the Commonwealth
the present Board of Public Grounds
and Buildings is entirely familiar with
all the steps which have been taken
to enlarge the Capitol grounds. These
officials are performing an important
duty when they arrange for the final
and definite treatment of the whole
park zone. This embraces the widen
ing of the streets abutting on the
property and the grading of the land
Mr.. Brunner and Mr.. Manning are
both more or less familiar with the
whole proposition and ought to be
able in a comparatively short time to
submit plan which will be satisfac-
tory to the Commonwealth and the
city.

HIGH SCHOOL VICTORY

IHARR1sBURG, by adopting the
- high school loan involving an
expenditure of s1.25o,oo0, has
again demonstrated its belief in itself
and its confidence in its own future
With an almost unbroken endorse
ment of improvement projects to its
credit the city has determined that
its schools shall not be secondary to
the various phases of municipal de-
velopment to which it has devoted so
much attention in recent years.
This is as 1t should be. School IA
cilities on a par with the public i'm
provements that have made the city
famous will do much to draw new
residents to Harrisburg, Just as an
overcrowded high school has kept
many away from the city.
All over the land. cities were watch
ing Harrisburg to see whether or not
we still had faith in doing big public
tasks in a big way. That we have
decided to keep at the head of the
municipal procession will do much for
us in the eyes of sister cities that have
learned to look upon Harrisburg as
public spirited and patriotic.
Beside, we owe this thing to our
children. They have the right to de-
mand of us the very best educational
facilities we can give them. and it is
proper that we should rejoice that the
voters have recognized this and are
ready to shoulder the burden of ad-
ditional debt in order to build and
equip the much-needed buildings.

THE NECESSITY OF SAVING

lTHE average total family income,
including women and children,
is between s700 and $500 a year
in the United States, according to
statistics given out by the American
Society for Thrift. Between 1900 and
1914 the average increase in the re-
tail prices of food was about sixty per
cent, while wages increased a little
less than thirty per cent. No matter
what may be the cause of this con-
dition, the moral is plain: The aver
age American of the future must be
thrifty.
Our population is increasing at the
| rate of 4,433 a day. Statisticians
estimate that within a few years this
increase will reach 10000 day. There
will then be even greater cause for
thrift.
A movement is on foot In the Ma
tional Education Association, the off,
cial organization of school teachers of
America, for devising plans of teach
ing it in our schools. This means be-
ginning at the foundation and the re-
suits on the happiness, prosperity and
security of the future American will
be beyond comprehension.
There are over 10000 workers in
America. If each worker began now
to save a dime day the aggregate
accumulations would reach $1,465,-
750,976 year. or If each saved a
dime week the total would be $685.
S1s,317. The saving of a dime a
month by each worker would amount
to s4s,1ss,093, and only q dime a
year would mean $4,015,75o. Statis-
tics show that ninety-five per cent. of
men are dependent upon their daily
earnings. or on others, for support at
the age of so. and that not one man
In thirty who retires with a COM
potency is able to retain that COM
potency to the close of life.
These are things for the patriotic
American to think about. This is a
nation of manifest destiny, but there
are evil days ahead unless our people
begin at once the practice of saving
on a scale far greater than ever be-
fore.

THE FORT HUNTER MEMORIAL

livery citizen of Harrisburg will
l. sbe interested in the dedication
Thursday afternoon at 1 O'Clock
of the historical marker at Fort Hunt
er. The unveiling of this official stone
will be another step in the intelligent
marking of the steps which indicate
the development of a great Common
wealth.
Fort Hunter was one of the impor-
tant outposts of civilization and its
history is an interesting chapter of
the opening up of the susquehanna
valley to the hardy pioneers who blaz-
ed the way for those who have carried
forward the torch of a better civiliza-
ton.
State Librarian Montgomery who is
also curator of the Pennsylvania His
torical Commission, and those associ-
ated with him, have earned the appre-
citation of the people of the State for
the very important work in which
they are engaged. Harrisburg should
be present tomorrow at Fort Hunter
in large numbers and we trust that the
unveiling of this marker will be the
occasion OF great outpouring of all
who are interested in the development
OF the State from the earliest days.
When the State placed the Harris
marker in the park at Front and
Washington streets, the occasion was
allowed to pass without proper pub
lie attention. but there will be no ex-
cuse should the Fort Hunter unveiling
be likewise without public apprecia-
ton.

neglect. 1t is absurd to insist that the
protection of the river embankment
should be postponed until next Spring
after the ice and floods of the coming
winter shall have caused still greater
damage. If the riprapping is to be
done, it should be done now. 1t ought
to have been done months ago.
