knocking him down, the boy falling

Everything points 10 record
breaking fair next week, when the
Pennyroyal Fair opens Its gates for
the fifth annual fair, under the lead
eTship of its rev President, John j.
Metcalfe. A directory Of wide.awake
citizens and hard-workers is behind
Mr.. Metcalfe and everybody is ex-
pecting to do his bit" in making
this years fair the biggest yet held.
To begin with there has never been
such crop year in Christian county
before and the farm exhibits are GO
ing to be one of the great features OF
the fair. The times are prosperous
and the attendance is expected to be
larger than ever before.
Mr.. Metcalfe has made number
of important improvements and
changes at the fair grounds. White
washing the fences and buildings has
wrought a wonderful change that
must be seen to be appreciated. The
interior of the buildings also have
been whitewashed and are ready to
be turned over to the heads OF the
departments.
The poultry department will be
moved this year from the old location
under the grand stand to the separate
building north of the pavilion, which
has been formerly used for public
school exhibits. This will be an ideal
location for the poultry and will give
greatly increased room for the floral
hall and agricultural displays, which
90 hand in hand and can't well be
separated, and which this year, as
said above, promise to be the large
ever shown at a county fair in this
part of the country.
AS usual, the space underneath the
grand stand will be given over largely
to the floral hall, which includes the
display of women's work of allkilds,
and the girls canning clubs, the Red
Cross and Navy League exhibits, the
Health and Welfare League, the large
display from the women's industrial
department of the Western State
Hospital, etc., as well as possibly a
booth or two given over to piano
exhibit and sewing machines. Tie
entries of canned goods, sewing,
cooking, etc., from the women at
large promise to be largely increased
this year, so that the big space given
to this department will be filled.
In connection with this departmer
the Jennie Stuart Memorial Hospital
will have their usual first aid booth
fitted up and be ready to give prompt
attention to anyone who may be hurt
or become i'll. In addition there will
be another booth fitted up as a rest
room, where tired mothers or aged
people and fretting children may go
for a rest and not to the first aid room
as has been done in the past.

Canadians and Foe at Lens,
Each Planning Surprise
Collide In the Fog.
NEW COAL GROUND TAKEN
Austrian Line Cracking Under
the Terrific Assaults Of
Italian Troops.

Hard smashes at the German lines
in France again have been productive
of important gains for the entente al
lies. North of Verdun the French
have captured additional points of
vantage, while the Canadians have
fought their way nearer to the heart
of the town of Lens, taking 1000
yards of positions west and northwest
Of the town.
All the counter attacks by the Ger
man crown princes force against
General Petain's men on the newly
captured ground in the Verdun sector
have been ill-starred; and those of
Crown Prince Rupprecht against the
doughty Canadians at last accounts
had brought nothing more than an
augmentation of the already terrible
casualties, his troops having suffered
in their attempts to save the import
ant coal center from capture.
Under a canopy of mist the Canad-
ians and Germans met at daylight in
the open of mo Mans Land" north
west Of Lens, neither expecting the
other. The Canadians put the Ger
mans to the bayonet. The Germans
fled to their trenches, where again
with the bayonets and with bombs
the Canadians did great execution,
killing or wounding many of the &C.
cupantS and putting the others to
flight.
West of Lens, aided by a heavy
artillery fire, the Canadians also adj
vanced, pushing the Germans further
into the environs of the town.
North of Verdun, on both sides of
the river Mouse, the French troops
have kept up their vigorous offensive
started Monday. They have been
rewarded by the capture of additional
important positions.
In addition to more than 5000 pris-,
oners taken by the French in Mon
days advance, additional captures
resulted from the attacks of Tuesday.
In the Austro-Italian theater the
terrific drive of the Italians is causing
the Austrian line to crack at numer-
Gus points.
Austrian defenses between Corite
and Selo and near the strongly forti-
fled Statilokva position are among
the places captured. Up to Monday
night more than 10000 prisoners had
been taken, not counting 243 officers.
The intense aerial fighting between
the allies and the Germans in France
continues. Numerous German ma
chimes have been brought down in
aerial battles but the entente allies also
have lost considerable number of
machines. British warships have de-
stroyed a German Zeppelin off the
the coast of Denmark, the entire crew
perishing.

Washington. Aug. 22.-Bituminous
coal prices were fixed by President
Wilson Tuesday night for every mine
in the United States. The next step
in coal control, a white house an
nouncement says, will be to fix the
price charged by middlemen and re-
tailers.
Prices were set on cost of produc-
ton estimates furnished by the feder-
| al trade commission after months OF
exhaustive investigation. The coun'
| try is divided into twenty-nine dis.
tricts and every producer in the
district will market his output at the
same price.
The president named no agency tc
carry out the provisions of his order
but is expected to appoint soon a Goa
administrator, who will be given en-
tire control of the coal industry.
Rumor names President H. A. Gar
field, of Williams College, as the
man. Mr.. Garfield now heads com
mittee appointed by the president tc
fix a government price for wheat.
His work will end before Sept. l,
when the wheat committee probably
will be dissolved.
AVERAGE LITTLE OVER 81 TON,
The prices ranged for mine run in
the large producing districts averaged
slightly more than 81. In few dis
tricts they are below that figure anc
in the western territory they are
higher.
Washington state is highest witt
1925.
The presidents statement said:
"The following scale of prices il
prescribed for bituminous coal at the
mine in the several coal producing
districts. 1t is provisional only. |
is subject to reconsideration wher
the whole method of administering
the fuel supplies of the country shall
have been satisfactorily organized anC
lput into operation. Subsequent meas
ures will have as their object fail
and equitable control of the distribu
ton Of the supply and of the prices
not only at the mines but also in the
hands OF the middlemen and the re
tailers."
mot ONLY FAIR BUT LIBERAL
1.-THE prices Professionally fixed
there are fixed under the recent aci
of congress regarding administering
the food supply of the country which
also conferred upon the executive
control Of the fuel supply. They are
based upon the actual cost Of produc-
ton and are deemed TO be not only
fair and just but liberal. Under them
the industry should nowhere lack
stimulation.
