Gentlemen:
In reply to your request for my
opinion of the DeLaval separator,
will say that I surely think it pays
to use a separator il you have as
many as three or four cows. I
have been using the De Laval for
two years and have never used any
other for this one has always given
me perfect astifaction. 1t is easy
to operate and I can wash mine in
fifteen misutes giving it an extra
special weekly boiling, and clean
ing of the stand. This is much less
time than I would have to give to
pans and such by hand skimming,
to say nothing of the extra cream,
anG the extra labor saved in carry
ing my milk to the cellar and put
ting it away so that the cream
would rise.
Respectfully.

The exhibits in the Floral Hall at
the 1919 Charlevoix County Fair will
be of wonderful interest. This build
ing contains the exhibit of grain and
vegetables, fruit, canned goods, ladies
fancy work and the booths of the mer-
chants of the county. This year all
these booths will contain interesting
exhibits by the merchants. The grain
and vegetable exhibits will be unusu-
ally fine and the fruit exhibit will con-
vince everyone that we are indeed
living in fruit belt. Reports from the
southern part of the State indicate that
there will be no fruit there this Fall.
Charlevoix County has lots of fruit, a
great variety and of the very best
quality. This exhibit will be put up in
more attractive form than in pre-
vious years and you should not fail to
see it.

CHARIEVO COUNTY FAIR Sept It, L. l8 19 PAY % s5 MSH @

County Fair has missed at least one
year in it's chain of Fairs. This speaks
volumes for the CharlevoiX County
Fair as the people will not patronize a
Fair year after year which is not good
one.
If you have been thinking of taking
a day away from business you cannot
do better than to take this day either
the 18th, 18th or 10Th of Sept, enjoy a
pleasant ride to East Jordan and have
the time of your life at the Charlevoix
County Fair. 1t will be worth coming
miles to see.

Illinois, Americas most popular Chau-
tauqua and Fair Band for the last fiji
teen years will furnish the music day

Fair. This is the same band which has
just finished long chautauqua engage
ment and which is secured as the star
attraction at such Fairs as the South
Bend Indiana, Fair, from which Fair
they this year come to East Jordan to
furnish unexcelled music for the Char
levoix County Fair.
The band is directed by Mr.. w. M.
Ewing. The organization is a sixteen
piece handsomely uniformed Zouave
Band under the direction of Professor

BIG. MIDWAY

The midway at the Charlevoix Coun-
ty Fair will be Joy forever to all those
who like Fair figures, riding on the
merry-go-round, jumping horse car
rouselle and ferris wheel, eating hot
dogs cooked by those experts whe each
year make the round of the Fairs, see
ing the side shows, some good, some
bad, some Indifferent, hearing each
concession man telling the people OF
the un-excelled opportunity which his
stand gives them of getting something
for nothing, souvenir of the Fair or
what not
This years Fair for the first time in
the history of the Charlevoix County
Fair will give to the patrons real mid
way. 1t will be such midway as the
State Fair, only of course on a smaller
scale. The midway commences oppos-
ite the dining hall, where last year the
Red Cross bowery dance was construct
ed and runs about 800 feet north OF the
grand stand. The Association has un-
der contract already forty concessions
and the public is assured that all of this
space will be taken up with the midway
concessions Of some description.
The same merry-go-round and ferris
wheel which were at the Fair in 1918
will be there again and in addition to
these jumping horse carrouselle of
the Muskegon Amusement Park will
be there.
The large tent show requires front
age of 100 feet. The show will be in
the nature OF circus. In addition to
this large tent show there will be
number of smaller ones and with the
other concessions which are coming
any patron of the Fair can find just
what he enjoys most on the midway.
Each night of the Fair there will be
community dance on good floor with
first class dance music.
If you enjoy Fair with a good mid
way you will certainly enjoy the Char
levoix County Fair this year.

GREATEST COUNTY FAIR
IN THE STATE
HAS HELD ANNUAL EVENT FOR THE PAST THIRTY
FIVE YEARS WITHOUT BREAK

tions, band music, fun on the midway
and dancing. The 35th Annual Fair
will celebrate Constitution Day on
Wednesday, September 18th. School
Day on Thursday, September 18th, and
Farmers Day on Friday September 49,.
There will be speakers of National re-
pute on each day of the Fair including
speakers on patriotic, educational and
agricultural subjects.
The first Fair had local judges while
the 35th Fair will have in every depart
ment expert judges from out of the
county. The first Fair had exhibits
from the vicinity of East Jordan only;
the 35th Annual Fair will have exhibits
from every section of Charlevoix Coun-
ty and many exhibits from Antrim and
Emmett Counties. The first Fair was
lighted with kerosene lamps; the Both
Annual Fair will be lighted as brilliant
ly as day with more than five hundred
electric lights.
These comparisons show to what a
great institution the Fair has developed
from very small beginning and it is
no wonder that people flock from all
sections of Northern Michigan to the
Charlevoix County Fair.
The first Fair was held at an expense
of not to exceed $500; the 35th Annual
Fair will cost at least $1,000. The first
Fair had no amusement features; the
35th Annual Fair will have many amuse-
ment features the total cost OF which
will be $4,000.
The Charlevoix County Fair is one OF
the few Fairs in the State OF Michigan
which has held Fair for the past thirty
five years without missing year. Many
Fairs in the State OF Michigan were
started before the Charlevoix County
Fair but with hardly an, exception due
to lack OF interest or financial condition

The horse races of the Charlevoix

good. The Association has arranged
a good three days program, commenc-
ing Wednesday, Sept 18th and offer
One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty
Dollars in purses. The Secretary is in
receipt of inquiries from owners of a
number of horses which have never
raced at East Jordan and these horses
together with the old ones will un-
doubtedly furnish an excellent race
program.

The Charlevoix County Fair will hold
its Annual Fair at East Jordan, Sep
tember 16, II, 1S and 10Th. The first
Charlevoix County Fair was held at
East Jordan thirty-five years ago this
Fall and it has held a Fair each and
every year since its organization. Its
first Fair was good one but was en-.
tirely different from the Fair which
will be held this year. The first Fair
was held in one building, the old Roller
Rink, which afterwards became the
Loveday Opera House and which has
since been burned. Old residents say
that there was fine display Of fruit,
vegetables and grain at this Fair but
very little else.
The 35thcAnnual Fair will be held on
the modern, ,well-equipped Fair grounds
owned by the Charlevoix County Agri-
cultural Society and will utilize four

There will be no difficulty in secur-
ing meals at the Charlevoix County
Fair. The dining hall on the Fair
grounds will be in charge of the Ladies
Aid Societies of East Jordan, will be
run on the cafeteria plan as last year
and will serve dinners and suppers at
the grounds. In addition to this there
will be great many eating stands on
the midway at which the less fastidious
will be able to satisfy the demands of
their stomachs. Restaurants and hotels
in East Jordan all have plenty of help
engaged and will be able to handle the
crowds rapidly. Anyone coming from
a distance and desiring to bring basket
lunches will be able to find good places
in the grove on the grounds to eat
their picnic dinners. Come early, stay

team by very close score and has
been clamoring fora return game every

POWDER CITY FOR SALE
BY THE GOVERNMENT
WILL DISPOSE OF HOMES AND
FACTORIES AT NITRO, w. VA.
ORIGINAL COST $7O,OOO,OOO.

The United States government,
through the war department, is re-
ceiving bids for Nitro, w. Va, built
during the war at a cost of $7O,OOO,-
600, in connection with the establish
ment of the second largest smokeless
powder plant in the world. Bids for
the complete community, with its 737
manufacturing buildings, housing IA
cilities for 10000 people and public
utilities will be opened in Philadel-
phia on Sept. 80. These bids are ex-
pected to cover not only the powder
plant and other industrial units, but
the civic community to which the
United States holds title.
Nitro, founded on Feb. /, 1918,
lies on the east bank of the Kanawha
river in the Appalachian foothills. 1t
was completed as a powder plant
community just ten days before the
armistice was signed, on Nov. IL,
1918, but in the ten days of its oper-
alton it produced 100000 pounds
of smokeless powder. A survey by
government engineers has proved the
adaptability of the project for the
manufacture of chemicals and cotton
and wood pulp paper-making. The
town covers 1900 acres.
Some of Nitro's Facilities.
The industrial plants of Nitro in
clude every building required in the
manufacture of powder, together
with an artificial ice plant and other
industrial units usually found in

munity includes more than 1900 fur
nished portable houses, rs perma-
nently constructed executive resi-
dences, hotels, boarding houses, dor
mitories, club houses, general and
special stores, cafeterias and moving
picture houses. In addition, there are
a modern 400-bed hospital, a 24-room
school house, large barracks and mess
halls, together with Y. M. G. A. build
ings and recreation halls capable of
providing proper housing and feed
ing facilities for 500 workmen.

committee on Porto Rico and the
Pacific Islands, of the senate. The
Virgin Islands are neither in Porto
Rico nor the Pacific ocean, but no
other committee has been authorized
to look to their welfare. 1t is a plain
truth that these islands, bought by
the United States from Denmark for
$25, 100000 just before this country
entered the world war, have been all
but forgotten since that time. The
hope of the natives, for many years
under a king thousands of miles

bring about a change of conditions
was frustrated. The United States has
done nothing for its new people ex-

SKULLS OF WISE MEN
IN CHURCH IN COLOGNE
Relics Are Said to Be Bones of Trio
Who Visited the Infant Savior
In Bethlehem.

COLOGNE.-A British army chap
lain celebrated mass recently in the
great Cologne cathedral at the altar
of the relics of the Magi, the skulls
of the three wise men who came from
the east to visit the newly born Sa-
vior at Bethlehem. A number OF
American officers and men from the
Coblenz area attended the services,
and were permitted to view the relics.
Tradition says that the Empress
Helena procured the bones and took
them to Constantinople, whence they
were removed to Milan. In 1854 they
were presented by Frederick Bar
barossa to Archbishop Reinald Won
Dassel, who brought them to Cologne.
At first they were kept in the chapel
of the Magi, the central chapel of
the seven thanking the choir, but
since the war they have been put
away in the cathedral treasury, near
the organ.
The bones are kept in a golden rel
iquary, costly specimen of Roman
esque craftsmanship in the form of
a basilca, said to have been made
about 1900 A. D. In the Cologne
coat of arms three crowns are rep
resented, the ownership Of the Magi
relics having suggested the design.
