ALL SET
For The Big Butler County Fair Which
Opens It's Gates Next Tuesday.
Many Attractions. Running
Races To Be Big Feature.

Arrangements are all practically
completed for the big Butler County
Fair which throws open its gates on
next Tuesday morning. Secretary
Murray d. Urmston opened his office
at the Court House on Thursday
morning to receive entries. Entries
have been pouring in as never before.
From all appearances all departments
will be overfiowing with exhibits.
The fair this year promises to be
greater and bigger than ever before.
All the old time attractions and
amusements will be there. Many new
features will also be seen. Wednes
day will be Old Soldiers Day. On this
day the old veterans will be admitted
to the grounds free of charge. Two
brass bands have been engaged TO fur
nish concerts each day of the fair. An
attraction that will no doubt prove of
much interest will be an exhibition
drill by one of the various companies
of Home Guards throughout the coun-
ty every day.
The pig, baking and sewing contests
is string up the boys and girls of the
county more than ever this year The
automobile show will be the finest
ever seen on the local grounds. Every
agency in the county is making great
preparations for large exhibits. This
show alone, will be worth going miles
to see. The school exhibits will be
finer than ever. The stock depart
ments are filling up fast in the way of
entries. The Agricultural Hall will
be of much interest to the farmers as
the greatest display of agricultural
implements ever shown at county
fair will be seen at this years fair.
The Art Hall, always delight to the
ladies will be jammed with exhibits.
The races as usual, will be the big
attraction. Never were there so many
horses entered as there are this year.
The directors, President ]. A. Slade
and G. K McCreary, having in charge
the speed department say the fastest

racing ever seen on our grounds will
be seen next week.
Beginning Wednesday four big trot-
ting and pacing races will be run each
day. The fair board have added an
extra attraction this year to the race
program that will prove of much in
terest to the lovers of speed. On
Wednesday and Thursday two run
ming races will be run and on Friday
one running race will be staged. The
track is in finer shape than ever be-
fore and the fair board members say
that it will not be surprising to them
to see some of the track records brok-
en-. Earl Swepston will likely be the
starter and that means that drivers
and horses will have to be up and
there with no delays in the starting.
The hard rains of the past few weeks
have put the grounds in beautiful
shape so that all that is needed is
good weather to make the fair the
most successful in the history of the
county.

PRAISES LABoR's WORK IN WAR
Senator McKeIlar Says That Work
men of America Are Responsible
for Fine Record of Production.

Ninety-nine per cent of the credit
for production of ships and other ne
cessities of war belongs to labor, ac-
cording to Senator Mcclellan, of Ten
nessee. While he did not intend to de-
tract from the credit due to the cap
tains of industry who are directing the
shipbuilding and other gigantic war
enterprises, the Senator declared they
should not claim all the glory of
achievement. He said:
"We are building ships at the rate
of perhaps 100000 tons year. We
must build them faster than the enemy
can sink them. 1t is labor that builds
those ships. 1t is labor that digs the
raw materials and forges these raw
materials. 1t is labor that rivets,
screws, nails, and mortises the various
parts and materials into completed
whole. To labor is due SO per cent of
the credit.
'And as in the case of ships so it
is virtually with all the rest of our
war services and war activities. Our
munitions of war, the bullets, cannon,
shells, guns, machine guns, rifles, rail-
roads, guns, machine guns, rifles, rail
roads, clothing, uniforms, environments
war vessels, and food are manufac
tured and produced by the unremit
ting and patriotic toll of labor.
"And more than that, it is labor's
sons in the largest degree who actual
ly use these materials on the field of
battle"
. Senator Mcclellan declared himself

INTERNATIONAL LABOR
MEN CONFER
Mexican and American Leaders Meet
in November to Discuss Means of
Common Action.

Closer relations between labor cir
cles in America and Mexico will be
established, it is hoped, by the inter-
natinoal labor conference to be held
at Laredo, beginning November 13, at
which the governors of all the border
States of both Republics are expected
to be present.
A delegation from the American
Federation of Labor has only recently
returned from Mexico City. The COM
ing convention, it is believed, will be
of great Importance to labor, not only
in the countries concerned but in all
Latin America.
"Wage, earners have learned that
their interests are favored by coop
Grafton rather than competition"
writes President Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor, in the
Federationist. "The basic facts of the
workers advancement and betterment
are the same the world over. The one
force in the United States to which
Mexicans confidently turned for un-
failing assistance and advice was the
organized-labor movement. During all
the years when the revolution in Mex
leo was in the making the organized
workers of the United States were
closely in touch and cooperating with
the efforts of Mexican fellow work
ers.'
