that nothing falls on the tracks from

will get there on time.

GROWN POINT. IND, Oct. 1.-THE
Second Annual Agricultural school Fair
held at the Lake County Fair Grounds.
Oct. 18th and 18th. 1917. was the great
est successful display of high class Ag-
ricultural Products ever grown and
shown in the county.
There were 40 schools represented
with exhibits from their districts that
made Floral and Agricultural Halls look
loke we need a new building TO exhibit
things in. The booths were so crowd
ed that the schools could not show
their products to the best advantage.
Everyone who visited the fair grounds
pronounced ii the best Agricultural ex-
hibition they had even seen.
We had the kind OF fair that makes
men and women out of our boys and
girls.
Mrs Chas. Sewen. the lady speaker.
pronounced it better than the same de-
partment at the State Fair this year.
Mr. KEN the man speaker said it was
the best country agricultural exhibition
he ever saw.
We can do things agriculturally in
this county even though some do OPP
pose the work.
The two speakers were the judges
and they pronounced the task as the
hardest they ever tackled because Of the
high class OF. products and the large
classes. There were as many as 90 IN
some classes.
The speaking was very much up-to-
date and could only be appreciated by
being heard.
Too much credit can not be given TO
the parents who supported the children
.fnaH ant
of it's kind ever held here or in the
state.
The only way to get anything out of
anything is to do something towards
helping 1t along.
Washington school won first on
school winning most prizes and largest
variety in display. They were first
last year.
shelby came second with a fine ex-
hibit from the school garden that show
ed potatoes treated and not treated. II
pays to do things right
Schneider was third with products Of
all kinds. This is remarkable for this
county to be producing from the duck
ponds few years ago.
Saxony was fourth and the same
might be said Of her country. Hessviile
was next with honors.
Lincoln school had a fine exhibition
from the school garden. And so il
goes with credit TO all the schools.
Their work was frst class and never
saw a better pleased crowd after It was
all over.
We have certainly done our part ag-
rieulturally in this great worldwide
war movement. shouldn't We have some
support from the county?
The county agent has no office help
and his bills Of expense are unpaid for
the year for this greater food produc-
ton campaign.
we want to thank Fred Ruff Of the
Chamber Of Commerce for taking care

Ben Hayes is entitled to credit for
the support and help he gave US at the

gressive enough 20 be our next Mayor.

and next year the school fair viii be

THE TUBERCULOUS
National Association Warns
Against Threatened Danger
TO New Army
OUTLINE DEFENSE
AGAINST DISEASE

NEW YORK, June Aroused by
reports that history Of tuberculosis
or even the existence Of the disease
in some form will not be considered
by some medical examiners as bar
to enlistment in the United States
Army and Navy the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis is urging upon federal
authorities the Importance OF taking
every possible precaution to prevent
the spread Of tuberculosis among en-
listed men through the breaking down
of afflicted persons or persons with a
history OF tuberculosis. Such cases,
developing rapidly under the rigors
of army life constitute a serious
menace to those who enter the ranks
without infection.
Resolutions 10 this effect have been
sent to President Wilson, the Coun-
ell Of National Defense and to the
secretaries Of War and Navy
II is pointed out in the resolution
that It has been the experience Of the
warning nations Of Europe that cases
OF incipient and even moderately ad-
vanced tuberculosis are frequently
unrecoguized in the routine examina-
! ton of recruits; and that inactive tu-
berculosis is frequently rendered ac-
tive by the physical and mental strain
and exposure of modern warfare.
"The appalling prevalence Of tu-
herouloss in the armies, both in the
field and in the concentration camps,
with the inevitable and widespread
extension of the infection from these
ito the civilian population is the great
est OF all health problems presenter
by the present wal" II continues
land the extreme gravity OF the stu
'ation demands that the services Of all
the most highly trained men available
be utilized most effectively for pro-
lection against the occurrence OF
conditions now prevailing IN france
and other countries"
The association recommends the en-
listment by the Council of National
Defense of the best available tuber-
culosis experts and agencies in the
country for the following specihc
purposes
"(a) To make under the command
of a ranking medical officer OF the
army corps repeated routine ex-
aminations and observation Of re-
cruNs,while in training and mobiliza-
ton camps for the purpose Of detect
ing any obscure tuberculosis LESSONS;
cob To utilize and enlarge the ex-
listing sanatoria and hospitals of our
country so that al cases Of tubercu-
losis arising in our forces may be
adequately cared for as near as pos
sible to their own homes,
"(c) To work out in cooperation
with existing health authorities a
definite. comprehensive and construc-
tive program for adequate prevention
and control Of tuberculosis among the
whole population"
