The supporters of the Hampstead County Union Fair are now engaged in a campaign for funds to discharge the obligations of the Fair. The Fair is an institution in which every pro- gressive citizen of the county feels a pride, and just so, for it stands spon- sor for all that Is best along the lines of agricultural, horticultural, indus trial and educational development. It has grown to be an institution which is absolutely necessary if the progress of the county along these lines is to be best maintained. On account of the past two fairs having been unpro- fitable from g financial standpoint to the degree that they have not paid expenses, there is a deficit of $2,500 now existing against the organiza- tion. Those progressive citizens who have carried and are now carrying this financial burden, are seeking to discharge this debt in order that bigger and better Fair may be held in 1916 than has been presented here tofore. It goes without saying that every possible encouragement is due them in their efforts. Help them, and another and more successful Fair next Fall is assured.-S of Hope.

PRESIDEN . CAMPAIGN JOKE
Long Branch, N. j., Oct. 26.-Pres-
ident Wilson is not so worked up
over the political campaign that he
can't have his little joke.
A few days ago some political adj
visors called at Shadow Lawn TO
urge that he bring Hughes to a halt
on some issues the Republican can
didate has raised as reasons for Will
sons defeat. They argued that the
president has handled Hughes alto
gether too gently, and pleaded that
he take at least one good whack
through some of the openings made
by the G. o. P. candidate. This thing
of keeping the campaign on a high
plane was all right, of course, they

ought to be free to nail his opponent
directly on some of the big issues Of
the fight.

grinning like a schOolboy. When the
arguments were finished, he was
