MRS. THOMAS BARBER
PASSES AWAY

Word was received here last Satur-
day evening that Mrs. Thomas Barber
had died at $50 that afternoon at the
hospital in Traverse City. Mrs. Barber
began to fail in health about six years
ago and she continued to grow more
feeble, despite good care and medical
attendance until on July 30th, she was
taken to the hospital at Traverse City
in the vain hope that something might
be done to prolong her life, but her old
age and the years of suffering had so
weakened the frail form that she was
no longer able to withstand the ravages
of disease and death came as relief
to her years of affliction.
Henrietta L. Barber was born in the
State of New York on September 26
1852, and died at the hospital at Trav-
erse City, on August %, 1919, at the
age of &c years, 10 months and q days.
When girl she came to Kalamazoo
county, with her parents, where her
ShlHOou ddyo WCiC SpCut. ciC ldtCi
came to Mancelona to live and about
ten years ago came to East Jordan,
where she resided until the time of her
death. When a girl of sixteen she
united with the M. E. church of which
she remained member until coming to
East Jordan, when she became affiliated
with the Church of God, in which she
was an active member, until disease
prevented. Her christian faith was a
great consolation to her during her af-
Fiction. She is survived by her hus-
band, Thomas Barber, three children,
j. A. Gibbs of Shepherd, Mrs. George
De LaBar of Battle Creek, and Harry
Saxton of East Jordan, all of whom
were in attendance at the funeral.
There are also three grand children
and many other relatives and a host of
friends who mourn her loss.

races and in the evenings. Ewing's
Zouave Band of Campaign, Illinois has
been secured by the Association at
great expense to furnish the music for
the Fair. This is a chautauqua band,
the members of which have played to-
gether for the last five years and their
repertoire consists of both classical
music and the latest popular band
music This band has been the princi-
pal feature of many chautauquas and
has played in the larger towns of every
state of the Union. Is handsomely uni
formed and will in every respect de-
light lovers of good band music. 1t is
such a treat as it is seldom the privilege
of the people OF northern Michigan to
enjoy.
Mr.. Wing, the County Agent, is look
ing after the interests of the farmers of
the county and is securing competent,
expert, outside judges for judging the
exhibits. He also has charge OF secur-
ing speakers on agricultural subjects
and the Association assures the farmers
that they will hear experts on agricul-
tural subjects at the Fair. Every indi-
cation is that all departments will be
full of exhibits and the competition will
be very keen. This is especially true
of the cattle department as the raisers
of thorough bred cattle in the county
have been preparing their best animals
for the purpose of exhibiting them at
the Fair.
Last year the Association had the
grounds wired for the purpose of hold
ing night Fair as well as a day Fair
and this year it is hoped that the wealth
er will be such that the night Fair will
be. well patronized. Each evening
there will be band concert and free
acts by Carlisle's Frontier Wild West
Shows, dancing and fun on the midway.
The price of admission has been chang
ed from thirty-five cents, for adults, to
fifty cents and the charge teams has
been removed. Anyone purchasing a
ticket for the day Fair, may If they re-
main on the grounds, stay to the
night Fair without extra charge. Ad-
mission for the night Fair is twenty-five
cents, for adults, and fifteen cents for
children.
, Fair week marks the close OF summer
and the approach of winter and is the
one week in the year which everyone
in the county looks forward to as the
week for renewing old acquaintances,
seeing what their neighbors have done
in agricultural lines, getting new point
ers from others methods for another
year, hearing good music, seeing ex-
citing horse races and circus attrac
tions and generally having a whole
some, good time. 1t is the week when
worries and cares, are thrown to the
discard and everyone gets out with a

How To Make Exhibits Look

Pairing Pigs Toena Seeing that the Rows Run Straight
an Ear of Corn May Mean the Difference
Between Success and Failure.

The Fair!
What does it mean to you?
"Fair" is very old noun. With
variations in spelling, it exists in many
languages.
"Fair" is a kin to the ancient festus'
and therefore cousin in some degree OF
the more modern "feast" and festival
and the like.
Always and everywhere it has carried
the away-from-work idea. 1t has always
been pretty much what we mean nova.
days by holiday" though not what
that word meant originally. Holiday
was ''holy day." and sacred. "Fair''
has always been secular-a wholly hu-
man sort of thing.
Fair time is playtime. That it always
was, that it always meant to most peo-
pie, that it always will be. But for
every play there must be players, and
two kinds of them, too-players who
play playfully and players who play
laboriously, more or less, for the enter
tainment OF the others.
And "the fair" has very different
meaning for the two classes. The big
bunch goes to have good time, to be
care free, to drink red lemonade and
throw confetti and toot tinsel horns; to
get the CLINT of twinkling horse heels
on saffron track; to see the broad
backed cattle, the prettily packed jel.
lies and jams, the big pumpkins, the
intricate needle work, the FULFILLED
ears of corn, and to mill around, going
nowhere in particular and not caring
especially if they never get there.
But, with it all, they are getting a
sugar-coated education. The fair is a
university in which the festive students
soak up science unawares.
Then, there must be the other kind
of players-the ones who "put on the
show"-the professors and instructors
and tutors in this most accommodating
of academies. And there has to be
somewhere sort of teachers college
for those people. There are in fact,
lots of normal schools for fair profes'
sors, but the United States Department
of Agriculture is the graduate college.
And one of the queer things is that any
boy or girl still in the grammar grades
of the public school may be doing post
graduate work in getting things ready
for the fair.

THRIFT Is THEIR WATCHWORD
Ne People on Earth More Saving Than
the TIIIers Of the Land In
France.

In America the passwords for the
last century have been opportunity |;
stretching out; investing; digging up
our stupendous resources; spending
with lavish hand.
In France the situation Is the exact
reverse, Elizabeth Frazer writes In
Saturday Evening Post. There the
passwords-at least among those who
must earn their livelihood-are thrift,
conservation; toll; limitation of op-
portunity or total negation; building
up possessions, stone by stone, with
atrocious toll.
We spend; they save.
Now, there Is some sense, some
idealism, In saving for a certain pur-
pose-especially when the purpose Is
to buy land. Conceive how many years
1t may take to save 100000 sous, the
amount necessary to buy a single hec-
tare; and then conceive how the peas
ant boards his sous In the rusty cop
per pot behind the bedpost and how
jealousy he guards the pot 1t Is
not so much that he loves the money
though no man on earth has finer,
more precise knowledge Of the pur-
chasing power of a sou-as that he
loves land.
He loves money because money buys
land. That is the dominating note In
his character-the unconquerable
thirst for land. From that deep de-
sire he has evolved habits Of toll,
frugality, saving. which to the aver
age American would seem insane.

to be prize winner. Several weeks
before the fair he should trim the hair
out OF the pigs ears, being careful to
do 1t in such way that the ears will not
be irregular in outline. He should pro-
vide clean wallow for the pig to keep
the hair and skin soft and pliable-and
he ought to know the trick of the trade
that little oil on the surface of the
water helps great deal; also that
little linseed meal, properly fed to the
pig, puts peculiar gloss on the hair.
He must remember to have the right
kind OF crate ready in plenty of time.
Many boys have failed to get their pigs
to the fair because, when the time came
to ship, there was no crate. The De-
partment has special sets of specifica-
tlons for pig crates, calf crates, and
others. A very important thing to re-
member in connection with the crate is
that the pig grows at pretty rapid
clip. The crate must be built big enough
for the pig, not when the crate is made
but allowing for growth between then
and fair time. And it must not be big
enough to permit pig to turn around.
The boy must remember that the pig
should not be fed just before shipping.
No matter how much the little rascal
cries for corn, he must not be indulged.
If ne is fed, he is very likely to get sick
on the train and 60 through the whole
fair in droopy, drowsy, unprizelike
looking way.
Prizes are not All
These are just few of the things that
must be remembered in preparing pig
for the fair. And there are equally
many with regard to the calf, or the
dairy COW, or the poultry, or any of the
things, practically, that the boy or girl,
man or woman, wants to exhibit at the
fair.
Even with all the care possible, the
animal or other product may not be a
prize winner. There can't be prizes
for every exhibitor. The fair that tries
to arrange things so that everybody can
get prize does not amount to much,
usually. 1t does not mean anything to
win prize when you are the only ex-
hibitor in your class. And, as the ex-
perts in the Department of Agriculture
point ont, the prize is not the main
thing, after all. To be sure, the boys
and girls and men and women who get
things ready for the fair are contribut-
ing to an education for the public-but
the main thing for them is the educa-
ton they get themselves.
"Take part in the contest" say the
experts, ''for your own sake. You will
have better pig, better calf, better
pound of butter, better can of peach
es next year by reason of having ex-
hibited this year, whether you win or
not. And, with proper attention to
preparation, the prizes are sure to come
too, sooner or later"

Much In Getting Ready

Too many people, the Department
experts say, do not know how much
depends on preparing exhibits in the
right way, on getting the pig or calf or
corn or canned stuff in just the right
shape to show to the best advantage.
One of the boys club workers tells
story in point.
One of our club boys in Mississippi,
he says, grew an acre of mighty good
corn and entered an exhibit in the
county fair. There were four prizes,
but he couldn't get even the fourth
one. The Judge simply tied on the
ribbons and made no explanations. The
boy was disappointed-not rebellious,
but he wanted to know why his good
corn could not get prize. | went over
it with him, showed him that some OF
his biggest ears had crooked rows and
how others had other defects. Picking
out the best ear, said, IF you had ten
like this, you could win prize.
"Well, that boy went back home and
carefully examined every ear Of his
corn. He found only nine that he
thought were as good as the one | had
pointed out. He went back through the
whole pile again and finally found the
tenth ear. He sent those ten ears to
the State fair-and won first prize. Do
you seer Knowing a little of how to
prepare the exhibit made State win
ner out of corn crop that was an also
ran at the county fair"
Manicuring the Pig
Now, the boy who is preparing pig
or calf for the fair has more COM
plicated task than the one who enters
some corn. With the corn boy, the
whole problem is selecting the right
ears. With the others it is not only
selecting the right individual, but doing
a great many things to put that indi-
vidual in the best possible form, and to
keep II so.
Weeks or even months in advance OF
the fair, the boy must start getting his
pig or calf tame. At particular time,
il may be necessary to pare the pigs
toenais so that he will stand up straight
without too much bend at the pasterns.
But he must be careful not to pare them
too close. A limping pig is not likely
