WANTS COUNTY FAIR

A county fair for Henderson has a
sort of familiar sound to it but V. J..
Carver, an energetic farmer of Upward
says be!s going to try and get one
started this fall.
Mr.. Carver came here from eastern
Oregon, where he was secretary OF
the largest county fair in that section.
He is enthusiastic over the possibilf-
ties of both farming and a county
fair in Henderson and is now in COM
munication with the state authorities
regarding it.
1t has been suggested in the past
that a street fair here woula be en-
joyable and profitable to all concern

WHAT Is NEXT STUNT
ON RUTH'S SCHEDULE?

We're Babe Ruth only a slugger he
would be a baseball marvel, yet the
really remarkable thing about this play
cr is his versatility. Ruth already has
broken one Of the most famous pitch
ing records in baseball and now he Is
afler another-a slugglng record which
it was believed could not be approach
ed under modern conditions.
Up 30 the 1918 worlds series Mathew
sons worlds series shut0ut record OF
% successive innings without permit
ting a run to be scored was considered
the last thing in worlds series pitch
ing. It was considered a baseball mas
lcrpiece. something which might not be
done again for generations, II ever.
Yet along came Ruth and pitched
% consecutive scoreless worlds series
innings, beating Matty's performance
by an inning.
But the boy still is not satisfied. In
the days when fellows like Davis and
Murray were winning home-run leader
ships with seven homers Buck Free
mans record Of % was regarded the
same way as some Of the Greek myths,
something that had happened in the
grim ages of the past Yet in a short
ened season Ruth now IS only two
home runs behind Freeman's record,
with a months play still in front OF
him.
Having smashed pitching and batting
REGARDS, what will Ruth go after next?

Would Tax Farmers Debts.

One of the most pernicious pieces of Ieeis-
lation threatened by the reactionary Repub-
lican Sixty-sixth Congress is the proposal to
remove the exemption from Land Bank
bonds. The proposal comes from Repre-
sentative McFadden. of Pennsylvania. one
OF the most conspicuous Republican mem
bers OF the House Banking and Currency
Committee.
Such step would cost the farmers of
America millions of dollars, and endaneer.
II not destroy, the Farm Land Bank sys-
TEN. one of the greatest blessings an
American Congress has ever bestowed on
the farmer. If the exemption is removed. the
Farm Land Banks viii either have to 20 out
OF business or raise the rate of interest on
loans to farmers. which is just what those
behind the proposal desire.
When Democratic Congress established
the Land Bank system. farmers were pay
ing anywhere from to IS per cent on
short-term loans, which they had TO renew
often They now borrow money from the
Land Banks at l-2 per cent. and for any
term they wish from FIVE to forty years.
Imagine the loan sharks who fattened off
the farmers prior TO the establishment of
the Federal Land Banks doing anything
of that sort Ii is they who are inspiring
the proposal to remove the exemption
from the Land Bank bonds, that they may
re-establish their loan shark" agencies
and again bleed the farmers Of millions
upon millions Of dollars.
City jewellers have the exemptions !;
billions of municipal and other bonds which
the farmer is not able to invest in are
exempted. Why tax the Farm Bank
bonds, in which the farmer can and does
invest, and thus make him pay a double
tax-on his property and on his debts

Brewers Ship Beer To Hasten
Test Case.

Brewers of the New York district took
action last week intended to speed court
determination Of their claim that beer Of
z "a per cent alcoholic content may be
produced without violating the food con-
servation regulations, when two of their
number began distribution Of a brew Of
the strength specified in barrels bearing
labels describing it as Notwithstanding
beverage.
The kegs, sent out without revenue
stamps which the collector had refused,
carried tags announcing that sums equiva-
lent to the cost of the stamps had been
deposited in banks to await the claim of
the government. Attorneys for the brew
ers. who advised their action. declared
that other manufacturers, in New York
and elsewhere throughout the country.
also would begin distributing.
