County Pair Now Rsady.

All We want 10 the weather, and II the
lpox OF the last dozen years holds, We
shall have IL.
This is the week of the Oxford County
rair, which according to the schedule
Will be held on Tuesday, Wednesday and
thursday. Everything is ready, and
tnere 10 good reason to expect worthy
successor to the long line of exhibitions
which have made the Oxford County fair
famous.
Entries have come early and fast, and
all departments of the fair will be full.
There will be no vacant space, in hall or
grounds, according to all indications.
Four oranges, Paris, Norway, Fred
erick ROBBIE and Hebron, have their ex-
hibtts already substantially complete,
and the rest of the hall will be filled
with what the people like to see.
A variation from the usual In the
ball show will be made this year by
large exhibits of goods manufactured by
the Paris Manufacturing Co. and the
Mason Manufacturing Co. at South Paris.
Ii has been some years since anything
like full display of their products has
been made by either of these concerns,
and 1t is safe to say that many will be
surprised to see the variety Of goods
which they will show.
The cattle and the horses will be there,
and the midway will have all the attrac-
tions there is room for.
Only bad weather can interfere with
full success.
The Lewiston Brigade Band will fur
nish music throughout the fair.
Most of the officers of the fair have
been in their present positions for some
years, and nobody needs to be told that
they are ION the job" all the time. Will
liam j. Wheeler, the president, is super
intendent of grounds; c. w. Bowker,
of the hall; W. 81. Kill

Iutire, superintendent of the cattle
and W. o. rockingham,

assistants, have numerous and multi
farious duties which keep them more
than busy.

The Rescue.

When Whitefoot the Wood Mouse
made the needless jump that landed
him in a pail half filled with sap, no
one else was in the little sugar house.
Whitefoot was quite alone. You see
Farmer Brown and Farmer Browns
Boy wer eout collecting sap from the
trees and Bowser the Hound was with
them.
Farmer Browns Boy was the first
to return. He came in just after
Whitefoot had given up all hope. He
went at once to the fire to put more
wood on. AS he finished this job he
heard the faintest of little squeaks
1t was a very pitiful little squeak
Farmer Browns Boy stood perfectly
He knew right away that II was the

Again Farmer Browns Boy heard
that faint little squeak 1t was so
camo from. Hurriedly and anxious
ly he looked all over tho little sugar
house, stopping every few seconds to
listen for that pitiful little squeak.
1t seemed to come from nowhere in
particular. Also 1t was growing
fainter.
At last Farmer Browns Boy hap
pened to stand still close to that tin
pail half filled with sap. He heard the
faint little squeak again. and with it
a little splash. 1t was tho sound of
the little splash that led him to look
down. In flash he understood what

Renaissance of Petits Fours.

To most Americans there was no re-
lief-aside from the main issue. of
course-that was brought about by
the end of the war greater than that
of not having to eat liberty bread. OF
victory bread. or war bread, or what
ever we called it. We talked a lot
about the great American grain. In
dian corn, and we pretended to like
barley and rye. and If we gave in
structions in wartime cookery we as
sured our audiences that these other
grains were much better than or at
least as good as wheat. But we must
have known all along that we never
could get over our bred-in-the- bone
fondness for wheat flour. 80 much for
that.
Short as were the French rations of
bread, 1t may truly be said that with
great many French folk the great
est satisfaction in having peace come
again aside from the main issues
was the renaissance of petits fours.
For you know the pastry shops were
allowed to make no pastries or cakes
during the war. and If there is one
thing more than another that the
French young person, or old person,
likes it is an afternoon cup of choco-
late with some sweet dainty bit Of
cake or pastry.
We Americans have the reputation
Of having the sweetest tooth, or the
most insistent sweet tooth. In the
world. At any rate. there are few
people who consume moro sugar per
capita than we do, and after the first
of July we are quite surely going to
consume even moro sweets. But our
sweet tooth is of the sort that re-
auires intense sweetness. and lots OF
It, We take sugar. where other folk
do not. Quite large number OF
Americans, you know, eat sugar on
tomatoes, fresh and cooked: on let
tuce, and even on raw onions. We
eat quantities of it for breakfasts
little on our fruit. then some on CO
real, and more in coffee. And we eat
enormous quantities of candy, and
much sugar in soda-fountain drinks.
But the French person. though he
wouldn't think of taking sugar in
cases where we do-as. for instance.
on salads-still knows what 1t Is to
crave sweetness, and the petit four
really takes the place of ice creams
and candles. So no wonder tho pastry
and confectionery shops are crowded,
and no wonder the Partisan now re-
CARDS his afternoon between n-meal of
petits fours and chocolate as one of
the most important events of the day

An Odd Little Jacket.

The sketch shows a compromise for
the open air which is heralded as ex-
ceedingly new and very smart. The
skirt, with its slight tonneau outline
is of blue and green plaid. and at the
waist is bright green patent leather
belt with a broad buckle of the ma
terial.
1t is in the jacket that the novelty
lies. 1t is nothing but waist-deep
sacque, without sleeves or collar. and
fastening on one shoulder in the Ro-
man style The fronts are Of uneven
width and length, and their edges are
far enough apart to show a glimmer
of a white muslin shirt waist that
shows itself again in short, tight
sleeves that might easily be mistaken
for those in a full evening gown.
The jacket itself is navy blue bound
with the green leather of the belt.
The buttons on each shoulder are of
dull silver.

Their Day May Be Over.
1t is said that the day of these
clothes is over: that women will no
longer go in with extravaganza for
various kinds of sweaters. variety
of plaid skirts and certain kinds OF
informal hats. They will not be fool
ish enough to wear silk sweater
with a picture hat as some women
did in the Long Island set who should
have known better, and they will not
wear the unbecoming shirt waists and
felt hats that have long been con-
sidered the proper thing by those who
care little for clothes: but they will
incorporate into the new kind of out
door costumery some ingenious ideas
| in apparel that still go by the name
of sport"
Many of these costumes are curious
in cut and in the combinations of COL
ors They leave the sweater by the
, waysde. also the sleeveless sport coat
cut on straight. smoking jacket lines.
They show novelty Jackets. and al
though the skirts are straight and not
! draped. they are cut in the tonneau
contour. They bulge at the knees. are
| wide at the waist. and go in at the
ankles.
There are far newer sport skirts
than these. but they belong to the
new kind. They are made of Geor-
gette and jersey silk, and some are
embroidered with flowers and have
scalloped edges; quite gay little
assortment of new outdoor clothes
that are neither one thing nor the
other, as far as the observer can tell.
They have none of the reliability Of
our former sport apparel and nothing
of the beauty of the regulation after
noon frock.
This type of skirt may never have
a chance with the really athletic set;
those who insist upon stout. service
able clothes for the open air. There
are hosts of young girls who wear
nothing but these informal garments
during the day hours. for they have
developed a cult along that line and
they feel i'll at ease in the victorian
ism of flounces and f1chus. of garden
hats and parasols. which is the ruling
style for this summer.

great pity filled the eyes of Farmer
Browns Boy as he held whitefoot
head down and gently shook him. He
was trying to shake some of the sap
out Of Whitefoot. 1t ran out OF
Whitefoot's nose and out of his
mouth. Whitefoot began to gasp.

Sparatacans Seize
Funds of Nation

Berlin, Aug. 25. - Enormous
amounts of public money were divert
ed into the pockets of the Spartacans
during the revolution in Berlin last
winter, which was led by the then
Chief of Police Eichhorn, according
to information obtained by parlia-
mentary commission which is investi-
eating the administration of the fugi-
tive former police chief.
Police officials who have examined
Eichhorn's ledger say it is impossible
to determine how great was the
amount taken by the Spartacans.
Evidence has been submitted that
Eichhorn's security guard who was
on duty at the railway station dur
ing the outbreak helped himself to
SIX million marks of army funds
which had been brought from Ru
mania.
Auditors asserted that Eichhorn
made frequent raids on the official
treasury through faxed acquisitions
and even drew funds for which no ac
counts were rendered. In one in
stance, these are alleged to have to-
tailed more than 100000 marks.
One hundred thousand cigars and
ITO smoked hams were confiscated by
the old police regime have mysteri
ously disappeared.
