Grounds Packed With People
And Automobiles During
The Day
TWENTY-SIX HEATS
OCCUR In RACES
New Grand Stand To Be Built
Next Year And Other
improvements Made

With the exception of Thursday.
when it rained. the Knox county fair
was one grand and continuous sue
cess from every point of view. Ev-
cry day saw the attendance doubled
over what it was the day before. and
when it is realized that Wednesday,
the first real day of the fair. was
the record first day in the annals OF
this attraction. there is every reason
to think. with the prophets around
the city, that the fair has again
come into its own and is here to
stay
Grounds Crowded
Tho admiring crowds surged
through the show halls all through
the day Friday, the racetrack was
surrounded by human wall OF spec
tators, and the oval was one raised
floor of auto tops. 1t seemed that all
the automobiles in the county were
here gathered for military inspec-
ton. The crowd was truly a viyac-
ious throng. ard so eager were the
people to participate in the various
pleasures of the grounds and to put
their garnered surplus into circula-
ton that the stands and the booths
were surrounded three deep with peo-
pie from morning until late at night.
The prize lists of all the contest
ants of the fair will appear later. af.
ter the secretaries have had time to
get the classifcations exactly correct.
Races a Feature
The great feature of the day. OF
course, was the races, and they were
with no exception the best in the
history of racing in this part of the
state. Twenty-six heats were started
by Mr.. Earl Swepston, the largest
number of heats started on any
course in the state this season. The
fans surely got their eyes full of
horse racing Friday and cannot say
to a soul that they were cheated.
Twenty-six fast heats for the price OF
80 cents is almost like getting 'Tif.
fany's stuff at Woolworth's.'
The contests came off without ser
ious accident, although once or twice
it looked as if something would hap
pen when the drivers were getting
started with their fiery steeds, which
were so eager to get into the race
that one man could hardly handle
them. The extent of the damage
done by these small collisions of the
sulkies was a broken wheel on one
and few pieces of broken harness
on another. These were the onl,
cases for time out.
Swepston a Coed Starter
Mr. Swepston got the races of
without a kick or an objection to tht
starting, and demonstrated his fine
ability to lead in this work. From
this city he goes to Columbus wher,
he will be the starter in the big races
at the state fair. And from Colum
bus he goes to the following fairs il
succession: Dayton. Marion. Newark
and the Daisy Dixie fair of Georgia
Fridays work was the largest day

and they hoped very much that he
had.
All these thoughts went through
their minds very quickly and then
they began TO say. "Ah,' and "Oh."
and isn't it WONDERFUL and Look
We'll" said their daddy, 'let us
sit down and look al i'll presents
They sat down on the loor. And
each one took Il stocking which had
been hanging in front Of the mantel
piece. Every stocking was we'll filled.
And each stocking stuck out queerly
so that no one could guess what was
in it,.
What Il guessing match there Vas
before they emptied the stockings
Just to keep the surprise a little long
err, for they had an idea that Santa
Claus wanted them to he as surprised
as possible. And when they did guess
what was in some Of the stockings It
was such fun
After the stockings had been looked
at and the oranges and apples had
rolled out of the toes, the presents
were taken from the tree.
The candy canes and candy animals
and the decorations were kept on, for
the candy would be eaten later on and
the decorations would be kept through
the Christmas season.
There were many presents around
the foot Of the tree. And now they
knew that they weren't really dream
ing. They were really, really alive,
and this was really, really Christmas.
Everything about it was real and
their presents were real and they
were wide awake and beginning to
feel hungry. for they hadn't waited
to have breakfast first. They ate San
ta's wonderful oranges and mother
said to daddy:
"Dear me, l wish I could find big
Juicy oranges like Santa Claus does.
He's a better shopper than | ami"
And their daddy laughed and said,
Hes a smart old fellow. It's hard
to get ahead Of him. And even If we
can't find such good range we get
them every year through his good
ness!"
Hes the dearest soul in all the
world" said Lucy, 'except the fam
lily"
He's wonderful said Betty. "and
oh, my dollie is SO adorable. He gave
me Just the kind l asked for"
"He's a wonder" said Robbie and
Billie together, ard then everyone
took his or her orange and paraded
into the dining-rOOm. singing once
more,
christmas comes but once a year !"

about other children, especially of
boys and girls about their w ages.
"Worthington was unlike some
brothers, but he was like you in that
way Nick. He liked to play with his
sister. His sister liked, too, to play
with him. He never frightened her.
but he showed her how to do things,
and she was never afraid when she
was with him. In the fall he took
her for rides in her express cart, and
he made a high eat in the cart for
her when he took her for slower and
more stylish rides.
He taught her to climb trees end
to swim and to do tricks IN the trap
eye. And she, too, used to play in
the SNOWFALL fights. back in the forts
which he and the other boys would
make.

could see the library with the fire
just started. There was "A big tree
all trimmed! And under and around
1t there were just the things they all
had been waiting for. and a lot of
other things they had never expected.
Oh, how beautiful it was. 1t looked
to the children as ii it couldn't be
real and it seemed to them as If they
must be dreaming-aS il all this won
stockings and everything else that vas
fine, could not be real after all.
But they had thought this way on
other Christmas days and they had
not been dreaming on other Christ
mas mornings. To be sure they dream
ed of Christmas before Christmas
came but they didn't dream of any
thing nearly so wonderful as Christ
mas always was.
There We're four children. Lucy
and Betty and Robbie and Billy.
There. in the enter of the library,
was the big tree. II was covered with
candles and though it was daylight
the candles We're lighted and the
shades pulled down SO as to make the
tree look It's very best. And too. it
wasn't so very bright at that hour.
for they We're always up very, very
early on Christmas morning.
They began to see the things on the
tree they had asked Santa Claus for,
and then they looked to see if he
had taken the notes they had written
mas.
Sure enough He had taken them.
They wondered if he had been pleased

famous Lawton hike, in the history Of the old army. We were for days out of touch with our base, every man carrying ! few days rations and liv- ing as we did on the Lawton hike, for the most part on what we could pick up on the country. The 0ampaign or expedition lasted for two or three months and not two days as your ar ticle in todays paper states. The Moro chieftain was chased from one hiding place to another until he final ly saw himself and his band facing annihilation and he surrendered to Pershing. Captain Van Horn. at that time was considered a far more bril- liant officer than was Pershing, and do know that he was better liked by the rank and file and in the old army in order 70 be well liked an officer had to be possessed of every qualification that goes to make up an officer. I was member of Captain Van Horn s command, being still in the 17th in fantry.
 In regard to the promotion of Pershing at that time to the rank of brigadier general, I do not want to have anything to say just now, but will refer you to any old soldier, either officer or enlisted man who is willing to speak his mind. However, I am not trying to detract from the fame of Pershing. but am trying to put you right on some historical facts of which have personal knowledge. There is glory enough for all"
