Committee Intends To Solicit Sub

And Asks Everybody To
Be Prepared

The fair is an institution. II is
measure of its community. 1t is not
promoted as a money-making propo-
sition. 1t is a place where people
may meet and exchange views, show
what they have accomplished and
study improved methods. Agricul-
ture and the trades are continually
advancing, customs are changing and
new ideas are being brought forward.
The man who would keep abreast OF
the times cannot be satisfied with
what he has accomplished himself
He must know what his neighbor has
done and is doing. 1t is your oppor-
tunity to show what you have done
and see what others are doing. 1t is
your chance, and it is your duty to
give it your aid Within a few days,
you will be called upon to render val
liable assistance in the way of sub
scribing for stock for the purpose of
purchasing and equipping a ground
The Knox county fair will not be
able to exist much longer under the
present conditions.
What shall we do? There is but
one answer, that is: everybody sub
scribe for stock, buy ground, so
that we may advance the agricultural
and other interests of the county and
keep pace with other counties.
Think the matter over and be
ready with your subscription when
the committee calls.-By the Commit

COUSINS OF THE CRAB.
The Little Bugs You Often Find Under
pscayed Loo.

Every one has seen the curious little
hat gray creatures that scurry out of
sight when you lift decayed log or q.
moss covered stone In the woods or
near the water. They are the arma-
dillidia, or isopods Of the genus oni-
scoidea, commonly called the arma-
dillO, SOW bug and pill bug
They are really not bugs at all, but
crustaceans or distant relatives OF the
crab, with gills provided with air tubes
not unlike the mir tubes through which
insects breathe all over their body. A.
favOrite food of frogs, toads and sala-
manders, the pill bug itself subsists
largely on decaying vegetable matter,
and some believe 1t to be a useful
scavenger.
According to the Geological Society
Bulletin, the name armadillo was CIV

turbed of rolling itself up into ball,
as the mammal of South America does,
but the crustacean Is shrewder than
