DELAWARE COUNTY
Fair in FULL swing
GREATEST EXHIBIT OF LIVE
STOCK EVER SEEN ON FAIR
GROUND.
LARGE LIST OF FREE ACTS.
Horse Races, Ball Games Each Day.
Fire Works Thursday and Fri
day Nights.

The Delaware County Fair opened
on Tuesday, with everyone connected
with the management of the affair
busy trying to find accommodations
for the large number of exhibitors who
were bringing hogs, cattle and horses
to the grounds in large numbers.
Those who have been connected with
the fair association of Delaware Coun-
ty for many years, say that there
never was such fine showing of
live stock as there is this year. The
large hog pavilion is filled and pens
under tent were also filled before
Tuesday noon The large cattle barn
lis filled to overflowing, and large
number of cattle are being sheltered
under a large tent. Among the cat
tie exhibitors are W. B. Robinson &
Sons, T. S. McRoberts, ]. c. Nieman &
Son, G. A. Swindell & Sons, Mrs. q.
w. Neiderfrank, Martin and Bernard
Fitzpatrick, Grant Brayton, Geo. Ban
ia, Carl f. Walter, all breeders of
Short Horn cattle; ]. W. Robinson C
Sons and VIM Carrothers & Sons,
breeders of Black Angus cattle; F. A.
Mead, Holsteins; C. A. Swindell and
Henry Gillespie, Guernseys; Mr..
Vessels OF Buchanan county, Aver
shire herd.
Fine Showing Of Hogs.
One Of the biggest hog exhibits ever
shown on the fair grounds is to be
seen this year. Even the large addi-
tions built to the hog pavilion were
not nearly sufficient to house all Of
the fine porkers that were brought to
the grounds on Monday and Tuesday.
Among the hog breeders who have ex-
hibits there are Edw. Cook & Son, W.
H. Todd & Son, Geo. Banta, Howard
Vaughn, Of Marion, B. B. Brayton,
Seth Hamblin, VIM. Keiser, oris Mil
ler, A. e. Sharp. Morrell Hamblin,
Hurley Bros, Roy Duffy, Len Fisher,
r. F. French Of Independence.
The list Of free acts proved of a
high order, and gave general satisfac-
ton to the fair visitors. The wrest-
ling match on the free act platform
was an interesting contest. the con-
testants being so well matched for
physical strength and endurance that
no fall was scored by either of the
men.
I Worthington defeated Aurora in a
fast ball game Tuesday afternoon, the
score being 5 to 6.
With the fair just opened there re-
main three big days for the people OF
the county to visit the best county
fair in Iowa. The stock exhibit alone
is worth many times the price of ad-
mission, and every one interested in
the development of the pure blood
stock should visit the fair.

Col. Palmer holds that the form of

is largely a political question and de-

general system Of national institu-

power may be developed. One Is the
professional or standing army type.

and conduct Of preparation are con,
centrated largely in professional
class. This was the system OF Europe
of Germany, Of Austria and of
duces a highly efficient military or
ganizati tion, but it is open to certain
serious political objections. The evils
Of the system may be summarized
under the term militarism.

BERLIN. Germany. October 80 (via
Copenhagen. Denmark) William c.
Bullitt was not the first emissary sent
by President Wilson and Prime Minister
Lloyd George to the soviet government
in Russia. William Buckler. secretary
Of the American embassy in London,
preceded him. Buckler's mission came
as the result of a note addressed by
Maxim Litvinoff, the soviet envoy then
In Stockholm, to President Wilson. 1t
ended in the abortive scheme Of q con-
ference of the Russian factions on
Princes Islands. President Wilson was
very favorably impressed by the note
from Litvinoff. He showed it to Mr..
Lloyd George. whom he had won over to
was then decided to send somebody to
Litvinoff to obtain q more comprehen-
sive statement Of the policy of the 50.
Wet government than that contained in
the note.
Litvinoff's note was addressed to the
December "a, 1918. President Wilson
took it to Premier Lloyd George.
Text Of the Note.
1t read as follows:
"A network of lies and calumnieS has
been woven around the activities of the
soviets and forged documents have been
put into circulation. Unfortunately tne
allied statesmen accept all the mon
strous accusations against the sovets
at their face value without taking the
trouble to check them. While agents
Of the anti-soviet parties are allowed
and encouraged to move freely in the
allied countries to disseminate untruth,
representatives OF the accused SIDE
never have been allowed to state their
case fully and to answer the charges
made against them In fact the chief
aim Of the soviets is to secure for the
economic liberty, without which politi-
cal liberty is of no avail to them.
For eight months the soviets en-
deavored to realize their aims by peace
full methods without resorting to vio-
lence, and adhering to the abolition Of
capital punishment. which was part Of
their program. 1t was only when their
adversaries, a minority Of the Russian
people. took to terroristic acts against
the popular members OF the government
and invoked the help Of foreign troops
that the laboring masses were driven
to acts of evaporation and gave vent
to their wrath and bitter feelings
against their former oppressors.
rThe allied invasion OF Russian ter
ritory compelled the soviets against their
own will not only to militarize the coun-
try anew and divert their energies and
resources, SO necessary to the economic
reconstruction Of Russia, to the defense
of the country. but also to cut on the
vital sources of foodstuffs and raw ma
terials, exposing the population to the
most terrible privations bordering on
starvation.

Farm Labor Situation Less Severe

Improvement in the farm labor
situation this year over 1918 is re-
ported by the Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates. United States Department of
Agriculture after nvestigation in
all agricultural counties of the
United States. By Improvement is
meant net increase Of supply and con-
sequently more labor for planting,
cultivating, and harvesting in rela-
tion to the work to be done. Wage
rates were not included in the in
vestigation.
Stated in percentage Of a normal
labor supply as related to a normal
demand for labor, the actual supply
of 1918 was y per cent and of 19l9'it
is 50 per cent still inadequate with
out greater than normal indspen-
dence on machinery and animal, trac-
tor, and motor power, and without
more than usual labor by farmers and
their families. However, the inn
provement over 1918 is considerable.
In both years the groups of States
that were and are provided with la
Dor in relation of supply to der.and.
less than, or at the most equal to, the
average for the United States, are
the North Atlantic, the South Allan
tic, and the South Central
Among these three groups Of
States, the greatest improvement is
in the North Atlantic and the least
is in the South Atlantic, and these ex-
tremes of high and low improvement
are not equaled by the North Central
and Western States, in each of which
the average improvement is almost
the same as that of the entire coun-
try. The Improvement is evenly dis
tfibuted throughout all State groups,
except the North Atlantic States,
where the gain is twice as great as
in each of the other groups of States.
Apart from tendency toward re-
lief from labor scarcity from 1918
to 1919, the situation this year is less
favorable on the Atlantic coast, from
New England to the South Atlantic
States as group, than in the States
west of the Appalachian Mountains
as groups, and in this long strip of
coast the situation is worse in the
South Atlantic group Of States. ,
