what caHber Of man we have selected to redeem

record is one Of which any man might be justly
proud He has had grave responsibilities and
has handled them with the craftsmanship he
possesses to SO marked degree His sterling
worth and true democracy are sufficient warrant
to entitIe him to the votes Of his constituents
These are trying times and it is necessary for
the wel-being Of the country that we send to
the Congress men who will cooperate with the
President in the passage Of such laws as the
party platform designates as paramountly impor-
tant We must not only have good captain

more to the country and her position among the

The necessity OF cooperation among our peo-
pie in order to assure the continuation oil The
annual county fair is beng emphasized by The
few who are urging this important move For
the past few years the results directly atributa-
bic to the fair have been the topic Of many a
boastfuI discussion, and the exhibits displayed
have added no little lusire to ST. Mary as an
agricultural and dairying country. To have it
said that we, because of our lack Of interest in
the welfare of the old county have permitted
the fair to lapse, would be a most pitabIy poor
demonstration Of our loyalty to her. The
benehcent results are all TOO obvious to need
any enlargement here. That great deal Of
good has been accomplished by the previous
fairs is equally plain. Time is pressing and if
we are to have continuation Of this move that
should be an established certainty we must get
busy Immediately. The success Of previous
fairs was due to few earnest, hard workers,
who found the task too heavy for them and then
the request for wider scope OF cooperation
was made We understand that responses are
not being made in proportion TO the needs and
SO wish to urge our readers to consider the ques-
ton and if they see their way clear to cooperate
unstintingly.
An incorporated association has been formed
and officers have been elected Ii is 10 be
hoped that the full burden Of expenses incident
to the fairs continuation will not be placed on
the few, as hitherto bull will be borne BY every
one proportionaIy This can be done by
every farmer and business man in the county
showing his appreciation Of the benefits Of the
fair by subscription to the capital STOCK Not
that il isn't a good business proposition, but be-
cause, in order to insure its financial success the
greater number interested as stockholders Will
assure greater number interested in the success
Of the fair
We understand that the Farmers Clubs
throughout the county have promised 10 assist
ii the disposition Of the stock and there should
Be no difficulty in securing subscriptions for The
full amount The necessary thing is 10 remern-
Der that time is pressing and the matter should
Be- closed up Immediately that preparations be-
made for successful showing il The FALL

FUNSTON SAID 10
 URGE WITHDRAWAL
Said to Have Advised Baker to
 Call Troops Home
MISSION IS ACCOMPLISHED
Consensus of Opinion Is That Object Has Been Attained and No Fur ther Good Can Come of Expedition Into Mexico.

Washington, Aug. 19.-While Sec retary Baker and other war depart ment officials refuse to confirm or deny reports that Major General Fun ston has recommended immediate withdrawal of General Pershing's eX- petition from Mexico, there were in dications today that such a message had been received.
 Major General Bliss, assistant chief of staff who returned yesterday from the border, conferred several days with General Funston and also went to General Pershings lines in Mexico. Secretary Baker conferred With Gen- eral Bliss yesterday and later saw President Wilson.
 General Bliss is preparing report on the mobilization of the National Guard. and it is considered possible he may have joined General Funston in urging that the troops be with drawn from Mexico, as the consensus of military opinion appears to be that they are serving no useful purpose as al present disposed.
 Withdrawal of the troops is -he first subject to be taken up by the joint international commission.
