HOW. THE LEGION STANDS.

News comes from Atlanta that the state con-
Ecntion of the American Legion in session Thurs
day passed resolutions endorsing the covenant of
ahe League of Nations by vote of "a to g. The
announcement of the vote by Secretary c. Baxter
Jones was cheered to the echo and the demonstra-
bon lasted several minutes, said the dispatch Sew
sral speakers both sides delivered short ad-
dresses on the resolution but the discussion was
not as heated as was expected.
Resolutions urging that 'Armistice Day, -
November |, be made national holiday were
also passed by the convention, movement which
will undoubtedly be heartily accepted everywhere
not only here, but all the world. The con.
Eetion voted resolutions to investigate the method.
ut the federal board of vocation training and rec
commended that the sum paid wounded soldiers be
made adequate if the Investigations shows them
as be inadequate.

GOOD sense is demanded, or we will be strand
ed; we ought to be sensible now; but we are
fretting and sweating and swearing and raising
the deuce of row. BE patient and
kick up a riot the oracle tells US in vain; get
down to crocheting and cut out the braying, and
prove to the world you are sane. The world
has gone batty and nations are catty, they're
filled with rancor intense; and now it s the duty
of every galooty to set an example of sense"
The oracle's pleading but little were needing;
were milling around in tracks; the oracle
thunders and shows blunders, and begs
to get down to tacks. And still we are spiel
ing and kicking the ceiling and cussing and rant
ing around, and wildly cavorting and whooping
and snorting, and paving up acres of ground.
The welkin is shaking from noise we are making;
we've dented it up with our roars; the times will
be dizzy until we get busy, get back to our usual

AND NOW FOR NEXT YEAR.

Sumter county first fair is over. 1t came to a
dose last night after afording the citizens of Sum
ax county and surrounding counties three days of
atter amazement. And the amazement will hnger
long Whereas little was expected Sumter coun-
eSshrst fair a tremendous success. And there
IN hes the cause of the amazement.
With almost no financial support, and very
lhtie moral support, those behind the fair, who
determined to put it over did so by main strength
and awkwardness." They made it a matter of
personal work. They plotted and planned and
Rgaped and secured and, when the whole project
3doked most ike abject failure they went into the
by-vVays and hedges and by personal canvass
pledges for enough exhibits to start the
Ball to rolling Once the spirit was aroused it be-
came contagion, and a result the fair manage
Hent at the last moment was overwhelmed with ex-
aFbits in several of the departments.
The opening day demonstrated that Sumter s
arst fair great success. On that day it be-
apparent to those responsible for it that their
~orries, so far interesting the public were con-
oeaned, were past; that from then forward it was
an!Y matter of making the most of the oppor-
tRity-and beginning to plan for next year.
NEXT YEAR. Those words have been on
Ill tongues since the opening day. and the people
ax Sumter county are already taking it as fore
gone conclusion that 1920 will see Sumter county
ar that will far outshne the 1919 exhibit hastily
gotten together under the most disheartening of
handicaps. They have had their taste-and they
nOt only like it; they are ravenous for more And
hey are going to have more
Sumter county never does anything by halves
whether it be pioneering in the matter of rural
highway paving what not. And an institution

People who had to be shown like the we'll known
Alssourian, have been shown, and they are all
boosters from this time forward
Americus and Sumter county must begin now
10 plan for a really great fair next year, we have
had a good fair this year, but we must have great
ar next year. The grounds are there but
probably one two more buildings should be
added, tor the capacity overtaxed at this initial
Ehort. There are many other things to be done
mo-
And there is opportunity also, for adding
another great feature, which could be easily ac-
&cHoptlshed. When the fair grounds were laid out
Earveyss were made and are still available, for a
hrst-cEasS race track. A few good trotting and
pacing races, which could easily be obtained by
the offer of suitable purses, would prove great
drawing card to the fair and provide the finishing
touch to really great show.
Let us begin now to plan for next year
fair. And let US not stop with planning but start
work right now. 1t takes year to make really
great fair, and work must begin now 1t is Sum
tea opportunity. Let's grasp it while we are in
the mood.

MILK AIDS EGG PRODUCTION
Value as Part Of Poultry Ration strik.
ingly Demonstrated at Purdue
University.

That milk has n value as part Of
the poultry ration was strlkingly dem.
onstrated by the results obtained on
one of the poultry demonstration farms
which are established and conducted
by Purdue university.
One farmer who had been feeding
milk to his flock discontinued doing
so with the arrival Of the summer
months thinking that the fowls would
pick up enough insects to make up for
the food value that was furnished by
the milk. Almost Immediately, how
ever his daily egg production began
falling of until, In one month, It had
dropped off to one-half what II had
been for the month previous. When
milk was again made a part of the
ration, the daily egg production grad.
ually increased. As result of the
milk fed the production the following
month was as good as In the spring
months and the extra profit made
more than paid for the milk fed.
