TO REMEMBER NEXT TIME

Now that the fair is over it may be
well to consider how the same might
have been somewhat improved on in
some particulars, thereby making it
even more interesting than it was.
One of the bad features of all our
fairs is the unpreparedness of the ex-
hibits on the opening day, very large
percentage of them arriving after the
fair was opened to visitors. A case Ia
point was the complaint of an exhibit
or who felt so much chragrined at the
treatment he received that he wrote
to the Star about it signing himself
Farmer, and saying some very unkind
things about the fair managers and
their way of doing business, when the
fact is he had no one to blame but
himself. He said that he arrived with
his exhibit early on Tuesday, the first
day Of the fair. That he found men
at the gate allowing none to enter
without a ticket and that he had to
wait two hours for the ticket Office
to open, then he seems to have met
with many tribulations in his quest
for the secretary, or as he put it the
clerk. Now if he had taken his en-
try there on Monday, as he should
have done, he would have saved him
self all the vexations of which he
complains, for there were no gate
keepers or tickets needed that day
and he would have found the entry
clerk ready and willing to wait on
him at a moments notice.
Another thing that works against
the success of a fair is the over
promptness on the part of some of
the exhibitors in removing their en-
tries before the fair closes. Many Of
this class gather up or drive out
their entries as soon as the judges
have passed on them and long before
the time set for closing the fair, thus
causing great confusion and disap-
pointing many visitors who could only
go on the last day and consequently
did not see the full line of exhibits.
This all works against the interest
of the fair and the hard working
managers are blamed for the fair
being complete for two days only in
stead of four. Another year have all
exhibits in place the day before the
opening and let them stay there till
the closing hour on the last day.
Then visitors who can only be pres
ent on the first or last day will see the
whole show. III. C.. Packham

DIPPING VAT AT FAIR
GROUNDS A BIG SUCCESS

The vat erected at the fair grounds
to demonstrate the dipping of cattle
proved wonderful success. A nice
bunch of cattle was dipped each day
and was witnessed by a very appre-
ciative audience. Also much interest
was displayed in the collection of pic
lures showing the kind of cattle that
can be raised when ticks are eradi-
Gated. Judging from the interest
shown tick eradication looks like a
sure thing in the near future.

IN MOUNTAINS STRENGTHENED AND

ASSOCIATED Press

Italian Army Headquarters in
Northern Italy, Sunday, Dec. e.
The general condition along the en-
tire Italian front improved distinctly
the past week, and the defensive posi-
tions on the northern line are now
considered as secure as those along
the Piave. This with the gathering
strength of the Italian allied forces
has relieved the gravity of the sit
uation.

rates for publications also promises
to be agitated during the session.
Creation of a congressional COM
mittee to supervise war expenditures,
which President Wilson prevented
during the last session, will be urged
by Senator Weeks of Massachusetts
and other republicans. The proposal
of Chairman Fitzgerald of the House
appropriations committee for a single
committee to control war appropria-
tions also is pending.
Closer scrutiny of appropriations
and departmental estimates, during
the present session is generally pre-
dicted with efforts to prevent extrav-
agance while at the same time pro-
viding funds for war needs.
Spectacular features during the
sesson are regarded as possible de-
velopments from the agitation against
Senator LaFollette and others be-
cause of their opposition to some
war legislation. He and Senator
Hardwick of Georgia have announc-
ed their intention to seek repeal of
the draft law, while Senator LaFol-
lette and Senator Sherman of Him
ois have peace resolutions pending
before the Senate foreign relations
committee.
Within the next few days Presi-
dent Wilson is expected to send to
the Senate nominations of many mil
itary and civil officers appointed dur
ing the recess of who failed of con-
firmation at the last session.

AUSTRIA TRIES TO COAX ENG,
LAND

Amsterdam, Dec. 3.-The Vienna
Neue Frei Presse invites England to
consider whether it is not possible to
open peace negotiations. It considers
that such an invitation should prop.
erly come from Austria because the
dissensions between England and
Germany dating from the date of
Queen Victoria do not directly affect
Austria.
The paper argues that war of de-
struction has already been rejected
by Lansdowne and probably by AS
quith and that it becomes impossible
on the day Russia and Germany agree
upon peace.

AMERICANS WERE IN 1T

With the British Army in France,
Dec. 2.-Large numbers of American
army engineers working on the Brit
ish railways in the region of Gouze-
court, caught in the German turning
movement, escaped by lying in shell
holes and prone on the ground while
the British fired over them. There
they remained until the British were
near enough to enable the Americans
to Join the ranks, when they fought
valiantly and played an important
part in replying to the enemy. The
British commanders refer to their
gallant behavior with the greatest
enthusiasm.
Americans elsewhere took a busy
hand in the fighting and were under
hot German shell fire. Numbers of
them volunteered for patrol work in
the danger zone and all acquitted
themselves finely.

GERMANS KNOW HOW TO DIE

With the British Army in France,
Dec. mime separate counter at
tacks launched against Masnieres by
strong German forces yesterday were
all repulsed after most sanguinary
fighting, although the British pulled
their line back somewhat to lessen the
sharp salient there. An intense bat
tie ragged all day, and it is stated that
the British killed more Germans be-
tween daylight and dark than in any
similar period since the war began.
1t was virtually continuous fight
from the start of the first counter at
tack.
The enemy infantry kept surging
forward in waves, and as each came
up it was caught by the fire from the
British artillery, rifles and machine
guns. The attacking forces were
mown down like grain before the
reaper, but with characteristic Prus-
sian discipline they continued to fill
their ranks and advance until after
the ninth assault had failed.

This cam paign will begin with nurses sur vey, followed. by visit to infected homes to give instruction in bedside care and the prevention of the spread of the disease, and supplemented by moving picture shows, lectures, ex- hibits, etc. It is hoped this demon- stration will show the taxpayers the importance of a permanent county nurse as an educator, as well as of in- creased facilities at Bonneville, a negro sanatorium, and law making the teaching of hygiene and sanitation compulsory in the public schools.
