Decide 10 Hold EaIr.

Although many Mercer county enter
prizes have been nipped by the frost
OF war during the past few months, INC
great Mercer county fair has escaped,
and according to Secretary 8. @ Bo7
ers will absolutely be held in full on
the scheduled dates No matter what
has been published concerning TIRE
probability Of the state imposing a 10
per cent tax on all fairs, and nc mat
ter whether assessment will he en-
froced or not the Mercer county fair
will be held. A meeting Of the fair
officers was held in the association
rooms IN this city Saturday afteruoo
and the above DECISION was reach 4.
Several weeks ago when the bill was
first introduced IN the legislature some
doubt was expressed as to whether or
not the local fair could be put on with
out mourning severe losses, and for q
time 1t was contemplated to dispose Of
the meeting for the coming year. This,
however, would also bring about q
heavy loss and IL was deemed advis-
able by TIE board to run the fair in
rho usual fashion but on q larger scale.
And so the thousands Of patrons Of the
/ local fair association will not be dis
appointed during September next. The
Mercer county fair. celebrated ever
the state for it's clean management and
sterling qualities will again feature
during the fall. Secretary Bowers is
now busy closing up his concession al

AN AMERICAN PORT, May D. A steamship which arrived here to- day from Kingston Jamaica, report ed encountering two mysterious yes sels-one off the Island of Haiti and another two days later off the Cape of Hatteras. The officers and pas sengers are convinced the vessels were German raiders.
 One of the vessels completly cir cled the steamship, and officers with glasses noted she was heavily armed fore and aft.
 Off Hatteras, a four-masted schoon- CT bore down upon the steamship, which put on full speed and fled.

matter. The world must have peace and there cannot be any until we get out and get it and we can't get it without fighting for it and the harder we fight the sooner we'll get it."
 Secretary Baker impressed upon the governors and need of suppress ing useless criticism of the Federal government. The difficulties, he ex- plained, are great. He cited as one of the difficulties the War Depart ment is having is the securing Of sufficient cloth for thousands and upon thousands of uniforms" It is not merely a matter of going into the market and buying it." the Sec retary said," but we must have place to go and take the wool off the sheep's back"
 DANIELS MAKES APPEAL
 Secretary of the Navy Daniels ap- pealed to the state representatives to keep the boys under military age on the farms. "The Navy Depart ment," said Secretary Daniels, "has been swamped with applications from youths of 16 and Y years of age to join the navy. They can be of more aid to their country between corn rows than they can in the navy.
 q am proud to tell you gentlemen that the navy is now up to it's au- thorized strength. Nineteen years ago the nation was thrilled with the news of Admiral Dewey's victory at Manila Bay. The navy at that time had strength of 22,0oo men. In the last thirty-two days, gentlemen more new men have been added to the navy by enlistments than the entire navy consisted of at the time of Dewey's victory.
 "But pending before Congress is a bill to bring into the navy 15O,0oo more men. These recruits are men to man the ships now coming on. You can aid greatly in securing these men, but keep the boys, until the country actually needs them, on the farms. Their work in the peace full fields will be as great as those who fight under the thunder and roar of guns"

Remember that the 12th of May will find the list of those who will be in to the finish. Nominations close at that date and no one else will be allowed to enter. Also, re- member that only 16 days more of uh trsk Iocer remains of the large extra vote offer, then it drops to the double offer.
