THE PINELLAs COUNTY FAIR

The Pinellas County Fair to DE held
at Largo on January %, %, "a and %,
1919. makes the third exhibit of the
resources of Pinellas county and
promises to be the biggest and best
fair ever held in the county.
The two previous fairs were held
'6n temporarily arranged grounds
around the town hall and were natur-
ally limited for room for expansion,
but this year it will be held on their
own grounds affording plenty of room
for all kinds of exhibits from the
grove, farm, garden and home, as well
as providing ample space for mercan-
tile and industrial displays as well as
amusement features
The Largo section is particularly
suited for growing citrus and other
fruits as well as all kinds of semi
tropical farm products. 1t is also
well fitted for the raising of improv-
ed high grade cattle and hogs at a
small cost, because food products can
be grown here almost every month
in the year and there is no hard win
tiers to contend with in the care of
farm animals.
In the growing of citrus fruits no
section of Florida is more favored, as

the occasion. AS in all emergencies
he turned to the worker.
Say Miss Pennick, cant yon find
a safety pin on yourself somewhere ?"
he asked.
Miss Pennick allowed she might,
and hunted industriously and to good
effect, the while the boy regarded her
interestingly. He struggled to put

Untimely Missionaries

[From the Rochester Post Express.
What we need now is close scru-
tiny of our immediate present. The
vision of the future, of means to
make it better, and ways to over
come evils by slow moving mechanics
which must be set up after long
consideration and debate, is untime-
ly. 1t will have its place, just as
it has always had it's place. But
it is no time to survey the land
scape with a telescope when the
boat is in the rapids and a water
fall is just ahead. The reply of
the old railroad foreman in response
to a workers announcement as he
surveyed the job, II think" which
reply was WHO the devil pays you
for thinking? PUSH" might apply
to a lot of people who seem to be
thinking and doing nothing else. For
six months eminent representatives
of great nations surveyed the world
in the interest of keeping it's ma
tions from future conflict. At the
last these representative returned
to their homes to find the incipient
causes of internal disorders ram
pant. Certain inquiries into immed-
late causes of trouble rightly form
part of deliberations on what must
be done. But the principal thing
to be done is to deal promptly with
the troubles themselves. An after
math in which causes are under
stood when their effects are facts
will be poor consolation.

Finds Use For Potato BuqS

[From the New York Evening NALL

molten days of midsummer, when
perch and bluegill may be ensnared
If the proper bait is used, Eldon
Ulrich, 10 years old, scores his
financial successes. And, incident
ally he contributes a good tip to all
fishermen.
Young Ulrich conceived the idea
that the soft-shelled potato bug
would make an excellent lure for
fish, particularly when good angle
worms were hard to obtain. He
picked a canful of the bugs and
experimental. The result was a
handsome string. And from the be-
ginning of his experiment his sue
cess began. The neighbors and
truck gardeners welcomed him when
he appeared to gather a supply, and
the business and professional men,
unable to solve the bait question,
were ready customers At fifty cents
for a good sized supply of the bugs
Ulrich has already accumulated a
good bank account. His aim is to
make enough to get a university
education.
He digs angleworms in the low,
marshy places for customers who
will not accept his proved theory
regarding the bugs, but his trade
in that commodity grows less every
day as the reports of his bug users
are received. His idea for next
year is to cultivate a patch of po-
tatoes primarily for the bug crop.

Er-KdiSer Weak and Vain

Julian Grande in a Berne dis
patch says:-"Admiral Foss, in his
book Revelations Concerning Our
Collapse" devotes a long chapter to
the fallen German Emperor. He is
very anxious to explain that he is
not kicking a man who is down, be-
cause in 1902 he held and has since
expressed, both verbally and IN
writing, views about the ex-Kaiser
precisely similar to those which he
now sets forth. In many respects
Admiral Foss merely confirms the
opinion already formed by most i'm
partial persons about William IL
that he is an abnormal and very
mixed character, quick in the up.
take and fascinating when he
chooses so to be, but morbidly vain,
very superficial, and very ungrate-
full, with an inordinate idea of his
own Importance, and convinced that
he is capable of a great deal of
which he is wholly and constitu-
t:onally incapable. Always highly
nervous, not to say neurotic, so
much so, indeed, that more and
more persons competent to judge
consider him as having long been
not quite in his right mind. he has
suffered greatly during the latter
part of the war from convulsive at
tacks.
After reading Admiral Foss's
chapter on William ia chapter,
which it is impossible not to reflect
embittered - it is impossible not
to reflect that pomp, publicity and
ceremony were as his very life
blood to the ex-Kaiser, and that no
one could less easily endure the
quiet life of a private person,
whether at Amerongen or else
where. He has not according to
the Admiral, perseverance and dill
sence enough to master any study,
not to speak of so delicate a mat
ter as statecraft. He has always
heen profoundly interested in some
thing for a time, but only for a
short time; then he must needs fly
off to something else. Such a man
could hardly console himself by
absorption in any subject.

LOOKING AHEAD

IN A practical talk before the
Rotary Club supporting the pro-
- posed landing field for the Gov
ernment air service in Harrisburg
the president of the City Planning
Commission, L. S. Herman, illus
trated the unfortunate tendency to
procrastinate in such matters by
citing the fact that the Commission
more than five years ago had
stricken from its first annual report
a recommendation of Warren II.
Manning, the park expert of the city,
that in acquiring additional park
property there should be provision
made for an aviation field. The Com
mission feared such recommends
ton might be regarded by many
citizens as visionary and injure the
work of the planners in other di-
rections. Mr.. Herman pointed out
lust how we fail as individuals and
corporations and cities to grasp the
DEVELOPMENTS in modern science, and,
as a result, fall short in preparing
for lneVltable cnanSeS'
Many who heard the head of the
Planning Commission were impress
ed by his suggestion of the great
importance of looking ahead and
there was also u feeling of conf
dence in the official body which is
preparing the way, as in the Italian
park district and even here, for the
certain expansion of Harrisburg by
street and park suggestions and
building regulations.
The point of the whole discussion
was the necessity for providing
landing field for the air service,
which is soon to develop great posi-
bilities in commercial, passenger and
other activities. Harrisburg must be
on the aeriel map and City Council
is worthy of commendation for
promptly acting on the request of
the Washington authorities.
In view of the fact that the field
at Maclay and Cameron is regarded
as most available for the landing
station, and as this field would be
utilized only during the developing
stage of the air service, the trustees
of the State Hospital might well CO.
operate in so important a matter.

A NATIONAL PROBLEM

~ GORGE HOLDEN TINKHAM,
of Massachusetts, has intro
~ in the House at Washington
a bill to establish a Bureau of Hous-
ing and Living Conditions in the
Department of Labor. The purpose
of the bill is to make available to
the American public the important
data gathered by the Federal Gov
ernment in the course of it's housing
activities during the war, to study
methods to reduce the cost of house
construction and to stimulate the
building of homes to meet the
serious shortage which now faces
our country.
Harrisburg and all other cities
are greatly interested in any proper
movement for the stimulation of
building activities. especially homes
for the people. Like every other
city, Harrisburg is suffering from
lack of dwellings and is bound to
suffer in it's development until these
are provided. If the Tinkham bill
will supply any need incidental to
the encouragement of building
throughout the country it should be
promptly passed. OF course, if it
is to be simply a job-making bu-
reau, then the committee in charge
should give it a prompt quietus.
1t would be regrettable, however.
should all the data 1athered during
the war by the Government Hous-
ing Corporation be junked when it
might be utilized in creating more
modern housing conditions and en-
couraging greater building activity
all over the country. The proposed
measure would charge the bureau
as outlined with the duty of investi-
eating the housing and living condi-
tions of the industrial population
and the conducting of research and
experimentation looking toward the
provision and publication of such
information as would make econom-
ically practicable the elimination of
Ims. the improvement of living

A KIPONA FEATURE

n NE of the most attractive fea-
lures of the coming Kipona
~ celebration should be the sing
ing by a colored choir of the songs
and choruses of the noted composers
of their own race. The colored
singer is ordinarily possessed of a
voice far richer and much more ap-
pealing than that of his white
brother. 1t has a sweetness superior,
even in an unframed state, to that
of any other race and in recent
years colored composers have won
high favor in the musical world.
Many of these modern compost
tions will be heard for the first time
in Harrisburg during the Kipona
and no doubt will attract wide at
tention. But it is to be hoped that
the Community Service workers who
are helping to arrange the program
will include at least a few of the
charming folk songs that originated
with the negro of the South and
