Lots To See At The
Bergen County Fair

Everybody knows that the Bergen
County Fair will be held at Hohokus
on October 10 to IA, and everybody
is planning to go. But it takes more
than a crowd to make the fair. The
management has planned a list of
free attractions that will make your
eyes dance; complete circus with
performing elephants, trained horses,
clowns, ETC., high diving, horse rae
ing, wrestling, tap shooting, fire.
mems contests, athletic events, etc.
There will be a naval exhibit consist
ing of models Of war vessels, real
torpedo, a machine gun, rapid fire
gun, mine, diving suit,ete.; forestry
exhibit, natural history exhibit, etc.
The midway will be clean and whole
some with lots of variety. The Gov
erner will be there and all the poll
ticians.
There will be a crowd alright and
something will be doing all the time,
but you should do more than merely
make one of the crowd. This is your
fair and you are interested in its
success, but what are you doing to
make it the success you would like
to see it? The entertaining features
are not the only ones you care to
see. Would you consider the fair a
success if there was no fruit, no
grain, no poultry or livestock on ex-
hibition? If nobody entered any
more articles for premiums than
you do, would the fair be able to con-
tinue from year to year? And yet
the agricultural and household ex-
hibits should attract more attention
and have greater educational value
than any other features of the fair.
Hardly man will be found who
would favor disseminating the fair.
He is willing to admit that it is we'll
worth while and he likes to spend a
day or more there each year, but what
does he do to make it a success?
Your attendance is not enough.
Show something at your fair. Look
up the best and most promising things
which may be growing on your place
no matter whether you have little
town garden or big farm. Bring
the best of your fancy work or your
cookery. Put something on exhibit
ton. How often do you hear, give
got better than that at home?" That
is no credit to the person who says
it. He should prove his statement.
The Bergen County Fair would be
improved tenfold if one half the per-
sons who should do so would do their
best in the way of exhibits. Don't
put it up to the other fellow. Do your
share to make your county fair the
success you want to see it.

"The Divorce Question:
At The Hudson

"The Divorce Question" is endorsed
by all the leading clergy as one of the
truest and most forceful dramas ever
written.
The story of the play is that of a
divorced couple who have two child
rem, and as neither desire the custody
of the children they have them placed
in a boarding school.
Having been accustomed to all the
comforts of home, and missing the
guiding hand Of mother and father,
they soon tire of the school and make
their escape.
Years afterward they are found in
the slums, and through force of as
ISOLATION with the lowest element in
the sllum district the boy has acquired
the drug habit, while the girl has fall
len into the hands of white slavers.
For awhile the boy loses track of
his sister, but at last finds her IN
cheap saloon under the influence OF
the man who ruined her.
In his attempt to rescue her ne
kills the man.
Pursued by mob, he takes refuge
in the home of priest, and the father
and mother, who have been married
a second time, learn through the
priest how the children have fallen.
But both refuse to carry them into
their homes, as they would be men,
ace to so-called society.
And when the daughter learns of
this, the shock proves too much and
she dies of broken heart, while the
son, in his already weakened condition
from the drug habit, becomes raw
ing maniac.
Thus it teaches that the laws OF
God should not be overcome by laws
of man, and leads up to the vital ques-
ton in many divorce cases-What be-
comes of the children?

THOMAS WREN CHILDREN
WIN SHARE IN MINE
Nevada Supreme Court Holds
They Are Entitled to Interest
in Mt. Hope Property
From the Reno Gazette

Through a decision handed down
by the State Supreme Court Satur-
day. Miss Marie Wren and Thomas
Wren, two well-known young Reno
people. will come into the possession
of a one-third interest each in a zinc
mine in Eureka County which is con-
servatively estimated to be worth
500, 900. In addition to this they
probably will receive a proportionate
share of the proceeds Of the mine
since about 1910, when a tax deed to
it was given to Thomas Dixon.
Important Principles of Law
In deciding the case the Supreme
Court laid down the doctrine that
patented mines are liable to assess
ment for not less than $500 and that
the statute of limitations does not
apply to minors till two years after
they reach their majority.
Miss Wren and her brother have
lived in Reno for many years with
their mother. Mary Wren. They are
the children of the late Thomas Wren,
a prominent attorney. Miss Wren
is employed as a stenographer in the
law office of Leroy F. Pike. Thomas
Wren is an employe of the Reno Pow
Ter, Light & Water Company.
The suit was entitled Mary Wren.

Wren, Jr., and Marie Wren. minors.

T. Thomas against Thomas Dixon.
Mine Patented in 1886
In 1886 Thomas Wren obtained a
! patent to the Good Hope mine and
mill site near Eureka. The mine was
not placed on the assessment roll till
1909 when it was assessed under a
constitutional amendment of 1905 au-
~thorizing the assessment of patented
mines at $40 per acre. During the
interval the State constitution had
Recommended making patented mines
assessable at not less than $500.
The estate of Thomas Wren did not
pay the assessment and the property
was sold at auction to Thomas Dixon,
The Wren estate failed to redeem the
property during the six months
period and a tax deed issued to Dixon.
Suit Against Dixon
He took possession of the property
and spent about $4,000 in improving
it and placing it on a working basis
rhe estate took no further steps til
three and a half years later. when
through Sweeney & Morehouse, Mrs
Wren and her children brought sui
to quiet title.
Dixon set up the statute limitation!
and the plaintiffs contended that the
statute could not run against patent
ed mines nor against minors.
Never Legally Assessed
: The supreme court held that thu
statute limitations applied to patent
! ed mines but could not apply in an,
case of the minors, thus giving t.
Dixon a one-third interest in thu
property through adverse possession
and to the minors a one-third inter
est each. The decision holds thai
the tax sale is void because the prop.

IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS?
From Heart Throbs.

We take pleasure in answering at
once and thus prominently the COM

that its faithful author is numbered
among the friends of The Sun.

Virginia, your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected by
the s~cepticism of a skeptical age.
They do not believe except they see.
They think that nothing can be which
is not comprehensive by their little
minds.
All minds, Virginia, whether they
be mems or c~hildren's. are little. In
this great universe of ours man is a
mere insect. an ant. in his intellect.
as compared with the boundless world
about him. as measured by the intel
ligence capable of grasping the whole
of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there's Santa Claus.
He exists as certainly as love and
generosity and devotion exist, and
you know that they abound and give
to our life its highest beauty and joy.
Alas how dreary would be the world
if there were no Santa Claus. 1t
would be as dreary as if there were
no Virginias. There would be no
childlike faith then. no poetry, no
romance, to make tolerable this ex-
istence. We should have no enjoy
ment. except in sense and sight. The
eternal light with which childhood
fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You
might as we'll not believe in fairies
You might get your papa to hire men
to watch in all the chimneys on Christ
mas Eve to catch Santa Claus, buteven
if they did not see Santa Claus coming
down, what would that prove? No
body sees Santa Claus. but that is nc
sign there is no Santa Claus.
The most real things in the world
are those that neither children mol
men can see. Did you ever see fairies
dancing on the lawn? Of course not
but that's no proof that they are moi
there. Nobody can conceive or i'm
agine all the wonders there are un
seen and unseeable in the world.
You may tear apart the baby's rat
tie and see what makes the noise in
side, but there is a veil covering tn
unseen world which not the stronges
man, nor even the united strength
of all the strongest men that eve
lived. could tear apart. Only faith
fancy, poetry, love, romance. cal
