Big Crowds Fnjoy
Jackson County Fair

The Jackson County Fair
closed its thirteenth annual SeSs-
ion last Friday night and it num-
bered amongst the best put on by
the Association. Good crowds
attended each days program and
the attendance for the three davs
surpassed that of last year by d
good margin. The bic event OF
the three DAYS was the army air
plane in daily flights teaturelng
the stunts as used in acturl army
service and the flying by the
army ayiators. Lieutenants H. II.
Rowe and A. w. Stephenson was
all that could be ask for and all
the time their big plane was in
the air it held the undivided atte-
ton of the entire crowd. The
BOYS also made many flights car
rying passengers. Valdar and
Windish were the platform art
lists and put on three seperate
acts each day, all of them being
first class. The race program
was good but the horses entered
were not what they should have
been for the purses offered and
were a Disappointment to the
management as we'll as to the
visitors. A good string OF race
horses had been promised, but
they failed to show up on the
Fair days.
The ball games of Thursday
and Friday between Philip and
Interior drew considerable atten.
ton. The game of Thursday
was played in a high wind and
good playing was impossible,
Philip taking the long end OF u
to 9 score. The Friday game
was a hummer and some fancy
playing was done and real base
ball was played. The game re,
suited in a victory for Philip by a
score OF 4 to z.
The Murdo band was on hand
all three days and furnished mu-
sic all the time. They are an ex-
cellent organization and many
compliments were expressed for
the class of music they furnished
and their willingness to keep
'aGoin all the time. In the even
ings the merry-eo-rOund, ferris

sisted upon by Premier Orlando at
a conference with President Wilson
just before the Council of Four con-

question.
The Italian Premier asked the
President whether he did not think
it advisable to have an informal ex-
change of views on the Italian prob
lem, especially the Adriatic phase
of it, before it was presented to the
council. The President replied that
he shared this view, but owing to
pressure of work had been unable
to study the Italian question person
ally. However, he promised to do
so.
Premier Or1ando's suggestion of
simultaneous settlement OF the
frontier questions involves a joint
peace with Australia, a plan which
Is favored by the American de1ega-

delay. In this connection, the Am
erican Boundaries Commission ex-
poets this week to conclude its re-
port on all boundaries, including
