Thurlow Bergen, the noted and
popular star who portrays the
leading role in William Fox's pro-
duction of "The Little Gypsy"
was starring at the head of his
own company not long ago when
they happened to play at Hanni-
bal, Mo-, the birthplace, as all
the world knows of Mark Twain.
Mr.. Bergen who is a great adj
mirer of the works of the late
humorist was naturally interest
ed in getting first hand informa-
ton from old inhabitants about
his literary idol. He found a
promising specimen Longing in
the sun in front Of a waterside
refectory. In response to ques-
lions however, the 0. H. proved
unsatisfactory. All he knew was
that Will Clemens, "wuz alters g

Exhibits are Excellent and Profuse and Most
Symmetrically Arranged
RIA GOOD ATTENDANCE YESTERDAY AND TODAY AND PROSPECTS THAT THERE WILL Be REC
ORD1BREANNG CROWDS TOMORROW AND FRIDAY

Everybody agrees that this is the
best fair ever.
The agricultural department is full,
the exhibits are of the best and they
have been arranged with taste and
symmetry that does honor to the tai
ent of the president, secretary and
their large staff of assistants.
The live stock show is the largest
yet. The blooded cattle and horses
are in the finest order. The hog ex-
hlbit is huge. All the pens of last
year were filled, and more had to be
built.
The canning. club people have fair
of their own. The ladies have packed
their building with pretty things. The
educational exhibit would do honor to
a county of twice our population.
The Star reporter has never had an
opportunity to take good look at the
details of the fair All he has been
able to do is to make a general esti-
mate, aided by his remembrance of
former fairs and the comments of
others we'll qualified to Judge.

WITH EVERY HOUR, TEUTONS AND BULGARS DRAW
CLOSER TO THE RUMANIAN CAPITAL
ASSOCIATED Pres
ASSOCIATED Press)

The situation of the Rumanian arm
les defending Bucharest today ap-
peared increasingly critical. They
seemed to be holding firmly only to
the northwest of the capital. The cap
ture of Curtea-de-Arges by the Teu-
tons seemed to indicate weakening
even there. The Teutons on the south
west were within forty miles of
Bucharest and news dispatches have
reported the Rumanian government
and diplomats going to Jass, near the
Russian frontier. The rapid progress
of General Falkenhayn's armies is
largely made possible for the forces
which outfanked the Rumanian Alt
valley positions by crossing the Dam
ube at Zimnitza. The Teutons hold
the southern bank of the Danube to a
point beyond Tchernavoda. A German
statement said the Rumanian retreat
in Wallachia was disorderly.
The Russians have taken the often
sive near Kirlibaba. in the Carpath-
ians northwest of the Rumanian from
tier Petrograd reported that attacks
here netted them the heights east and
south of Kirlibaba and more than 700
prisoners.
Berlin said the Russians had local
successes in the Carpathians. Paris
announced an important advance in
Macedonia by the Serbians in which
two heights were captured. Increased
activity on the Somme front is re-
ported.
