ALL IN READINESS FOR
The GREAT COUNTY FAIR
Eleven Car Loads of Horses Arrive
Car Load After Car Load of
Midway Attractions-At Least Ten
Tractors to Demonstrate on We'd
neSday.

All is in readiness for the Great
Dorchester County Fair, which op-
ems tomorrow. Never before in the
history of the Fairs have the pros
poets been so bright as they are this
year. While it is true that everyone
is busy, it is also true that everyone
needs a day or two off during the
summer in order to tighten the
strain under which practically all
working people labor. especially the
farmers and those whose work dur
ing the spring, summer and fall mon
tbs is accomplished by more or less
anxiety as to whether or not the
weather and other matters connected
with their work will permit them to
garner a successful harvest, or whe-
ther after all their expenditure of
money, labor and time, the hail, the
rains, the hot suns, or what not may
rob them of the fruits of their labor.
People engaged in this business
need the slight relaxation which a
day or so at the Fair gives; they
need to- meet and mingle with other
men and women engaged in similar
business, to exchange views upon
different questions, the same as bank
ers, lawyers, doctors and other busi-
ness men; these hold conventions,
even newspapermen do, where differ
ent phases of questions of mutual in
terest are discussed.
The management of the Associa-
ton has been very fortunate this
year in getting together DIST of at
fractions that will surely satisfy the
hardest there are to please. The

time in view for the horsemen.
County Agent Leathers expects not
less than ten tractors for the great
demonstration on Wednesday. By
the middle of last week that number
had been entered, and it is possible
that by this time there are more.
The demonstration of tractors next
Wednesday, alone, will be well worth
the price of admission, because trac-
tors are going to be as common on
the farms within the course of a short
time as are automobiles on the roads.
Then, too, there will be a great eXhi-
bition of farm machinery, including
automobile trucks, etc.
One cannot afford to miss a single
day of the Fair this year.

Abhorred Red Tape,

"a swollen organization always
means inefficient administration" says
the air minister, as he surveys the
staff which he has taken over. How
did Napoleon manage his clerical staff
one wonders. According to Yelling
ton there were 1900 clerks in the
French war office. Normally we had
60 clerks with the war secretary, 40
in the ordnance, and about so at the
horse guards. "These $50 do the
work of the French, yet the French
clerks begin to write at six in the
morning, and ours go down at ten or
eleven" OF course the size of the
armies differed also.-London Chroni-

OUR CONGRESS.

Yes, it's ours, we are bound to ad-
nit, because we elected them and
gave them commissions to represent
us in the making of laws in Wash
ington.
For some of them, we still have
considerable respect and confidence,
but for the Congress as a whole, we
must say that it is not helping the
prosecution of the war to any con-
siderable extent, and if they only
knew that the winning and ending
of the war, was the most important
thing in the world to the millions of
fathers and mothers and wives and
families of our boys, we feel sure
they would make an effort to act to.
gether, and act vigorously in support
of our government at this time.
Let the little petty jealosies and
differences go for the time, and al
put shoulder to the wheel and pull
our country out of this. mess. There
is no doubt in the world that much OF
the present wrangling in Washington
has been cause by personal or poll
teal jealosy, the desire to take ad
vantage of the situation in which we
find ourselves in order to help thi;
one or that one in politics back
home.
Well this is a serious time, no time
for any such foolishness.
Our people back home are in earn

and they demand that this childish
performance cease, that we put al
our lung power, and man power, anC
horse power, and brain power, anC
gun power, into the business of whip

Half Your Living

We are all at a danger point. On

Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit and make
money Food and grain is higher in
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay nearly half your living. 1t
will save you more money than you
made on the best three acres of cotton
you ever grew!

NOT NEWS BUT VIEWS.

Sometimes picture or cartoon
will express more than can be put
into columns of written matter.
We picked one of our exchanges
this week and found more than a
column of loaded editorial, and a
half column headliner article on the
front page, devoted to telling about
the bad condition of the county
roads.
1t was mainly criticism, and stated
that farmers are about unanimous
in their opinion that something was
at fault with the road building and
supervision"
But right on the front page, in an
adjourning column, was picture
which looked like scene from the
iungles of Africa, but which stated
that it showed the condition of the
main square of the town which had
been wrecked by the unusual wealth
er.
Our conclusion was that the same
weather must have extended to the
county, and hit the roads there as
well as the town.

TO MARKS FRIENDS.

When Mark Twain wrote in the
town of Hannibal, Missouri, the sto
ries of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn
he did not draw upon his own ina,
gination, but he just wrote the living
characters into book.
He made a true portrayal of Tom
and Huck that will live through time
even as history records the larger
events of nation.
Mark Twain never dreamed at that
time, of moving picture, and little
did he think that in the years to
come, the best talent of America,
would come back to this old town,
and reproduce in living, moving, pic
lures, the characters of which he
wrote.
But this is just what has been
done, and we notice that The Strand
on Friday will give Tom Sawyer by
Jack Pickford.
1t would be unnecessary Tor us to
say anything to those who frequently
attend movies, but to those others,
particularly those older ones who
feel like they were the personal
friends of Mark Twain, we are sure
you will not count the time lost if
you go to see Tom Sawyer on Fri
day.
You will see him as Mark Twain
saw him.

The increased culture of velvet
beans in the South during the last
two years has been one of the most
remarkable recent agricultural de-
velopments according to United
states Department of Agriculture
Specialists. Heretofore the culture
of the velvet bean has been largely
limited to Florida. With the intro
duction by the department of several
new varieties, particularly the Chin
ese, and the development of other
varieties by breeding, especially the
Georgia and the Osceola, the culture
of this bean has been extended to
cover large part of the cotton belt.
1t is proved especially adapted to
sandy soils. 1t is estimated that the
acreage planted to velvet beans in
1916 was at least four times that of
any previous year, and it is not i'm
probable, according to Federal spe-
cialists, that the 1917 acreage was at
least four times that of 1916.

New Observation-Disclosures of
mems dress has already become more
than a mere tentative suggestion. New
York papeps carried the story of sug-
gested regulations in mems attire, on
the front page, a few weeks ago; along
with the wal news, the coal shortage

temperature, and other striking hap
penings of a day and generation in
which exciting events have become al
most commonplace. The Importance
of the further suggestions, emanating
from the economy board, was immedi-
ately recognized, and, with front page
space at a premium, as it is today, the
story was deemed of sufficient moment
to be given a place of honor. There
was nothing extremely radical in the
ideas advanced, a prominent fashion
writer states. They included some of
the suggestions already made at the
now historic meeting Of dreSsmakers,
manufacturers, retailers, fashion writ
ers and editors, and others held at the
Waldorf, to discuss the adoption of
the slim silhouette, with a view to linn
iting the consumption of wool. One
of the speakers, at that meeting, drew
attention to the fact, that though there
was not a man in the room who was
wearing what might be called a con.
spicuous OF individual style of cloth in
his clothes, yet there were in all prob
ability not two suits in the room of ex-
actly the same pattern.
Among twenty men in blue serge,
each will have a suit made from a diff
ferent weave and dye. This is q waste
Of effort and material which might be
remedied; and suggestions for limiting
patterns of conservative materials for
mems wear, were made in the interest
of var time economy. The same ideas
have been applied to the manufacture
of stuffs for mems shirts, and wen to
their shoes and neckties. Results of
impressive benefit to the community at
large, to our allies and to u own
fighting men, are promised if these re-
forms are carried into fact.
so TAR, no Such proposition has been
made with regard to the industries
which deal with the dressing of &om-
en-. In fact, the pressure of opinion
has been very definitely against stand
a%rdization of feminine attire in any
form. In the b%elligerent countries,
which, after all, are our best and only
really practical guides in this matter,
attempts Of the kind have been limited,
so far, to a control, in France, of the
manufacture of shoes.
