Women's Day in relation to the
movement not to take the places of
men who are deprived. of their work
by the government, was held Sunday,
June 8, in Dublin and many provincial
centers, and proved completely sue
cessful.
The metropolitan protest was most
impressive. Inclement weather pre-
vailed, but, despite drenching show
ers, thousands of women marched to
the various rendezvous, and the SOL

showed that the participants realized
the gravity of the menace. It is es-
timated that in the city and suburbs
over 100000 persons signed the pledge
not to fill the places of men deprived
of their work through refusing en-
forced military service, and to do
everything possible to help the fam

such refusal.

SHIP BUILDING PROGRESSES


New York, June In May the
United States built and put into COM

shipping and during the last week
awarded contracts for 100000, 900

American Iron and Steel Institute last
night
Mr.. Schwab said that while at one

THE COMMUNITY FAIR

The value of community fair can
not be fully estimated. There is no
better way of advancing the educa-
tional and the fractional value than
the community fair where it is pro-
perly conducted. 1t is often the means
OF getting the people OF the community
together for better farming and bet
ter home life.
Many OF the successful county and
district fairs could re traced to d
community fair that grew and enlarg-
ed its influence till it became a power
for advancement. And from a few
county and district fairs came our
state fairs, which are now mighty
forge for better livestock and excell-
ence in crops, fruits, vegetables, etc.
The community fair affords a way
AND an opportunity for a neighbOrhood
to measure it's agricultural social and
industrial strength. The people of the
community may first compare their
own products with their neighbors'
then compare and compete with the
products of others in different neigh
norhoods through the county or dis
trict fair.
