Concord F, Id' Its
 First Community Fair
Club Work Did 1t

"A little child shall lead them No one, it seems to m whn is interested m the least in cOmmn- nity welfare work couEi have a'- tended the lit e community fai' at Concord Friday, September 10. without having been reminded of the aimve biDlcai quotati n iw, years agn XII agriculJt al club was orEanizr0 at this pace by c0upty tsrm and home demor- Stra'inn agents among the hoys and girls To say that this clut is still alive and doipg things is putting 1t very mild indeed. It is doing things in an organized and cooperative way and the strength of the world is made sure and certain though the char acter of work that is being done by each individual member in the club. Through this little club as foundation and through the untiring efforts of Miss Hudson, the home demonstration agent for this county. and through the splendid cooperation Of the people in the Concord community, a community fair was held the first of it's kind not only in this con- munity but in the county.
 The exhibit consisted largely of the boys and girls club work, especially the girls ill the can ming club work and it was the first beginners fair that the writer had ever seen in the state in which all products were ex- hibited in uniform containers The quality was also good and in all the exhibit was a splendid demonstration of what can be accomplished through a united effort If the people under the direction of g capable and trained leader,
 
 But to the writer, the best ex hibit on disp ay at the fair was the spirit of cooperation that had been lnstiled m the minds of the club members through their or ganization aLd which was exem- pIified in the progi am of work they had outlined for the day. Never had the writer seen $ meeting of any kind cond lcted with more decorum and ordrr than was the one conducted by the 19 club members of tn 8 organization With one or thelf own number as chairman. No one had to tell them what to do or how 10 do It, net even in the arrangement of lhe program for the days work. This little club wants to be the best club in he state and thus win the handsome prize that is being offered f the best boys and girls organ ization and, from what the vii ter saw and heard, it is making pretty fair headway.
 Backing rp that spirit of CO.,

operation manifested in the mem oers of the club OrganiZati,n, was thn same cooperative spirit among the parents. The writer h B never vtslted community m which the support of the bol $ sna glris' club work by ire par ents and teache.s was better. Tn other words, the parents of this community are putting their ooys and girls in the front and are backing them up solidly in their efforts 10 better themselves aud their community. They be- lieve that club work is bringing to their children training along those lines that will help fit them for the duties of life. They be- lieve in taking advantage of all opportunities that come their way for the building up of a ot tier rural lie. This means tley are progress V, and will succeed if they continue to follow this kind Of an iuea.
 What this community did, any other commu .ity. in Cleveland ] county or any other county can do if they only have the desire or can get the vision. The people of t his community. we believe, got his vision through watching the activities of their boys and girls in club work, and if other communities would only get in behind their boys and girls who are in club work there is no rea- l son why every community should not have just such day as was spent at Go, cord Friday, September 10th. 1t is an educa- :, t on of the most practical sort ]. 1T people os community to get together and bring with them exhibits of their work and to study these exhibits with the view of finding 8 better way, if p 'ssiole of doing the things in wh CT they are engaged anil from which they derive a living. This is the educational value of fairs ard Concord, through it's boys and girls cub, has laid the foundation for what the writer hopes will prove an annual event which will be looked forward to each year with interest and en- thusiasm by it's D ,ople and what is also hoped wlIl point the way to it's neighbor communities.

! Conservative and remedial measures found expression in the platform adopted by the De- mocratic Central Committee last week,
 A resolution submitted by C. K. Elliott of this place was ad ,p- ted by the Resolutions Committe and unanimously Y adopted by he Convention. The Res ,lution follows.
 Resolved. That tl.e conven ton recommend that the next General Assembly submit to the people for their ratification or rejection an amendment to the constitution whereby counties and municipalities by majority vote of their electors may issue interest bearing bonds for the purpose of refunding debts and for improvements and that ali property, real or personal, ta,- gibIe and intangible, be assessed and taxed alike to pay Off said bonds and interest,"
 This means that all properties. both real and personal would be taxed alike for all public i'm provements where bonds have been issued for indebtedness.

mystery in the public mind about the League of Nations. This has been due to misrepresentation by it's enemies and an idea that is q complex system of super govern ment. But these ideas were swept aside by Senator Robinson who anal Zed the League, logic ally and thoroughly, and showed that it is the only agency that has been suggested that will ef- fectually preven recurren of great international conflicts. Even Al tjcle 10, which the Reyublioan party has so pers ist- ently misre} resented, wns shown to be nothing more than an ex- tention of the Monroe Doctrine which has proven so great Q blessing to the Western Hemis- phere.
 There was no enuivocation or lodging the issue on the part of the convention in endorsing Ihe League and in denouncing the Republican 0 iearchy which has up to the present t,me been sue cessful in defeating 1t.

TRENCH MOUTH

Trench mouth" a disease which
harassed soldiers in Europe, has made
is appearance in FL Paso, according
to local dentists A number OF cases
lists say there probably are others
where the patients did not recognize
the diseas and have not applied Tor
treatment
The disease IS peculiar to the gums,
being preceded by Inflammation and
bleeding. Later, dentists say, tiny
portions OF the gums are sloughed
CfI and eventually, If treatment is
not begun the gums -deteriorate so
that the tooth is left with the roots
exposed In more advanced cases, the
disease spreads to the throat
The CHIEF places where one may get
Infection, the dentists say, are in
restaurants, soda fountains and other
places where food and drink are dis
pensed- The disease is highly con
tagious and may be transmitted by
the use Of the same towel, by infect
ed and nouinfectsd persons by kiss
ing. by use Of the same dishes and
glasses and by other means.
There is quite a bit OF the disease
here" one dentist said Friday. MY
