VAN WYCK ITEMS
DURING PAST WEEK
FAIR WORK DISCUSSED
Outlines Progress of Communi.
ty Fair-Many Visitors in
Little City.

Van Wyck, Nov. 1S.-Mr. Editor:
Since my last communication we
have seen some Of the country and
observed that many fields along the
road have been sown in grain and
many more are being sown. The
cotton crop is almost gathered and
much Of the cotton land will be put
in grain. We attended Mecklenburg
fair and feel we'll repaid for the
trip.
The exhibits of livestock were
many and OF a good quality. We
saw number of fine mule colts of
which the owners can feel Justly
proud. We saw some home-raisedl
nue. that can successfully rival the
Kentucky or Tennessee shipped
mule, showing plainly that we can
raise good mules for our needs in
stead of buying the high priced ship
ped ones. We saw some fine hogs.
and the ones that attracted our at
tention most were the hogs of the
pig club boys, some weighing 900
pounds at eight months old. We al
SO saw some fine corn exhibits,
grown by the corn club boys, which
were better than the exhibits of their
fathers. Some girls also belong to
these clubs and there were fifty or
more members of the pig and corn
clubs represented. The girls tomato
clubs were well represented in their
exhibits of canned tomatoes and
other vegetables.
Mecklenburg county is doing fine
work through these clubs. We do
not know how Lancaster county com.
pares with Mecklenburg along these
lines, as we have had no way to find
out, but after the 25th of November
we can find out if we can safely hol- |
low hurrah for. Lancaster, as these
clubs will show their exhibits at the
county fair and tell the people what
they are doing.
The community fairs booths were
neatly and admirably exhibited. We
were glad to see that our neighbor-
ing Community Fair" Carolina, won
the blue ribbon. Mecklenburg |
county fair, upon whole was |
great success. but Midway and its
shows seemed to have the day, ana
won the attention of the greater part |
of the attendance.
Remember we have only one more /
week to get our exhibits ready for |
our county fair, which is the last |
one. Lets get busy and show what |
Lancaster farmers can do, even un- |
der many adverse circumstances.
Messrs. c. r. Yoder. j. d. Griffin, |
w. III. Hyatt, Mr.. and Mrs. K. NJ |

The Military Bills

The Senate and House conference committee of Congress on military preparedness has agreed upon only one important question-that of the size of the regular army.
 Chairman Hay of the House mili- tary committee reported bill provid- ing for 10000 enlisted men and which the House passed and Chairman Chamberlain of the Senate reported a bill which the Senate adopted provid- ing for a standing army in time of peace of 250,000. The conferees com promised upon 180,O00 as the nu- merical strength of the army on a peace basis, to be increased to 220, ,0OO in time of war or threatened war. The administration and the officers of the army will be satisfied with that arrangement.
 But the conferees are at logger heads over the volunteer army propo- sition which the Senate bill carries. The administration suggested this feature of military preparedness as a substitute for the "continenusl army' proposition, which was strongly op- posed for various reasons. But Chair man Hay objects to it, because it would conflict with the liberalization of the National Guard; and Hay is right. Under the provisions of the House bill the National Guard could be increased the first year from 12S, 900 men to 50,000 and in two years to 100000. And the guard, as it stands today, already trained to a high degree of efficiency, forms a strong nucleus for large expansion
 The volunteer army feature will have to be abandoned and the sooner that fact is recognized by the Senate conferees the sooner the committed will complete its work.
 The only proposition in the Senate bill of far-reaching importance tha1 may consume time in debate is thai for establishing a nitrate plant ol one of the great waterways. Muscle

politics by pointing to the recent pri- maries, for the results made it plain that there was no popular demand for the colonel
 If the republicans cannot get to- gether on Hughes they may try Root, or Burton, or some dark horse like Estabrook of New York. If the pro- gressives nominate Roosevelt and the republicans some other gentleman, the result of the November election will be the same as it was in 1912. And nothing could be more agreeable to President Wilson and the rank and file of the democrats.
 While Roosevelt is not completely out of the running-not so complete ly as the republicans say or imagine his fortunes are far from roseate.
