All That Could Be
Desired.
NO NIGHT HORSE SHOW
The Programs Will All Be
Made Up Of Day
Exhibits.
NO NIGHT HORSE SHOW

The fourth meet Of the Pennyroyal
fair will begin today and will contin-
ue the rest of the week. Every in
points to the fair this year
being better than ever, and interest
is greater and extends over a wider
radius and largely increased crowds
are expected to attend. Today will
be Hopkinsville day and all the bust
ness houses will close in the after
noon. Friday will be children's day, |
when the young people will have first
call on everything, and Saturday will
be travelling mems day. The travel
men always have a special program,
with their own band, mule derby and
mule trotting race and various other
stunts to enliven the proceedings.
The racing feature this time will
unquestionably be the best ever
known here and equal to most of the
regular race circuits. Special atten-
ton has always been given to racing
in the past but this time the entire list
of both running and harness races is
bigger than any previous season.
This season, too, there will be two
running races each afternoon with
1.-TWO harness races in mile heats, best
three.in five heats. -.t
There will be several high-cl2sS
and thrilling free acts, splendid show
rings of fine horses, cattle, sheep,
hogs and mules, and with such enor-
nous displays in the women's de-
partment and agricultural department
that a separate building this time had
to be provided for the poultry so that
all three Departments might have
room.
This time there will be no horse
shows at night, as there have been in
the past, everything being done dur
ing the day so that the country peo-
pie and those from a distance may
get the full benefit

Armenia being firmly in Russian hands is to remain there Even these timid dema nds gre mostly nuga tory, are not shared by any of the Socialist Parties represented in Stock holm nor by the Russian nor Aneri- can Socialists. Certainly, If there are to be no transfers of territory, even Armenia will have to remain under Turkey
 But 1t is when we come to the atti- tude towards the overthrow of Kaiser ism in Germany that we find the most astounding results. All of these so- called Democrats and international groups have hailed the revolution of Russia as the new birth of Liberty and Democracy. but not single one or them demands a similar revolution in Germany. On the contrary all agree with the expressed position of the German Socialists that "a continua- ton of war is not necessary to force free institutions on Germany" This is the position both of the minority and the majority in Germany, Aus
 tria and Hungary.

HiicSsSt of America. who cated interference in the affairs Of Russia under the Czar. says truly that the Stockholm conference does not intend to interfere with the inter nal affairs of Germany.

Staining the leader of the Socialists of Denmark. and a cabinet minister in that coun- try, expressed what Is undoubtedly the prevalent view among the Stock holm Socialists, that whereas there is no immediate need of revolution in Germany there should be a further revolution in Russia. which would first result in a separate peace and then in a general peace on the terms of the German Socialists, as endorsed by all the other Socialist factions mention ed. Stauning said In an interview with the reliable Berliner Tagebiatt.

There is to be a further revolution in Russia then q threat of separate peace and finally a general peace which will establish the empires of Central Europe. which is the main purpose of the Kaiser and the German military caste in the present war.

been gathered by the census depart ment for the year 1916 there are but IS cities out of 213 having more than 50. 900 inhabitants which have not made provision for playgrounds in the need and appreciated the benefit to be gained thereby to the extent of maintaining 2190 playgrounds averag- ing a trif1e over two acres to ground, and facilities for games and supervision are provided in nearly all of them, some cities even furnishing swimming pools, bathing beaches, golf courses and polo fields. Where swim ming pools and beaches were main tained, including indoor as we'll as outdoor pools there was an attendance during the fiscal year 1916 of more than 26, ,000, 900. and this of course does not apply to those who were attracted by other than the natatorial features.
 The extent to which the playground movement has gotten hold upon the people is disclosed by the fact that during the year the expenditures for such efforts in behalf of the young, in cities over 3O,0o0. amounted to S21, ,637,- 097 or an average of 67 cents per capita. This Of course does not in clude the thousands of grounds which are maintained in smaller places but in which there is an equal amount Of interest It all goes to show. however. that the movement has come to stay. that 1t is doing what it was said it would and that it is worthy of proper support
