Pennington Fair-August 5, 6 and 7.

Can you afford to miss any of the
three big days at the bennington Fair
this year? You will want to help in
the welcome of our Soldiers and
Sailors on Tuesday, August 9Th, won't
you?
The Farmers will have strong
card for their special entertainment
on Wednesday, August 9Th. You will
not want to miss that, will you?
Your choice of candidates can be
determined for all the offices to be
filled this Fall. Do you know they
can all be seen at the Fair on Thurs
day, August 7th? When will you
have another opportunity of seeing
them all together? You certainly
don't want to support a candidate with
out seeing him especially when a
chance of this kind is offered you to
enjoy yourself and at che same time
help others to enjoy themselves by
your being present.
In order to be on the safe side and
not miss eany of the numerous at
fractions you had better make up your
mind to go all of the days then when
your neighbor comes in and tells you
what he saw at the Pennington Fair
on Tuesday you will have nothing to
regret if you were there also. In be-
ing liberal with your patronage of an
institution of this kind you are en-
couraging something worth while. No
cleaner sport can be had at any Fair
in the State of New Jersey and the
social advantages in mixing with the
people from your own part of the
country cannot be estimated in dollars
and cents.

Names of our Trees

is being used in marking trees in
public parks and the customs should
be universal for then the people will
become more interested in their parks
says the American Forestry Asso-
citation of Washington, D. c. Nothing
makes a person more Disguised, after
admiring a tree enough to have his
curiosity aroused, than to walk up to
it and find long Latin name nailed
to the object of his admiration. By
all means let us Americanize our trees
while the question of "Americaniza-
ton" is so much before the public.
The American Forestry Association
will send any reader of this paper
free detailed information on tree
planting. Plant a memorial tree and
register it on the national honor roll
of the association.
