THE GARRETT COUNTY FAIR
Now Is The Time To Begin The Prep
aratiOn Of Your Exhibits.

Now is the time to begin preparing
exhibits for the County Fair. Don't
wait until the last minute and then
grab up something half selected and
half prepared and bring to the Fair
and think you have done your duty
toward making an exhibit. Every far
is worthy to be exhibited if he would
only select and prepare it in time.
Select now a sheaf of wheat before
the grain is cut-don't wait until it
is put in the shock. You can make a
better selection while the grain is
standing than at any other time. Pre-
pare sheaf about four inches in di-
ameter, bind loosely and let cure in
the shade, then fix it as attractively
as possible for the exhibit. A sheaf
of oats, rye, barley and buckwheat,
when ripe, should be selected and pre-
pared in the same way; and a sample
of the threshed grain of each should
also be selected, cleaned and exhibited
with each sheaf. However, this is not
compulsory, as some may not have
threshed at the time of holding the
Fair. 1t has been demonstrated that
the best grain in the State is produced
in Garrett county, in quality as we'll
as yield and the grain exhibit at the
Fair in Oakland should be further
proof of this fact.
Now is the time to select samples of
grasses, too. Premiums are offered for
the best bundles of alfalfa, timothy,
mixed hay, clover, sweet clover, soy
beans, peas, etc. Prepare a bundle
about the size of a sheaf of wheat,
bind it attractively and exhibit it. Let
this exhibit be an index of the splendid
quality of hay produced in Garrett
county.
The premium list in all departments
is about the same as last year. The
premiums offered have been increased
materially in many cases.
The catalogue is now in the hands
OF the printers and will be issued in a
short time.
The management solicits the coop
Grafton of every person in Garrett
county, and especially the cooperation
of the farmers in making the Fair a
success. The management will do its
part if you will do yours. So let's
make this real agricultural Fair
one that you VIII be proud to have

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

Most people think of the United
States as big institution, with many
diverse interests, but the principal bust
ness of which is to aid its people in lines
of business, health, agriculture, and
general welfare.
If called upon to cite the activities of
the federal government that make for
general welfare, the average citizen
will cite the Department of Agriculture,
the Public Health Service, the Bureau
of Mines, the Geological Survey. the
Bureau of Education, the Children Bu-
reau. the Women's Bureau, and so on.
1t will be surprising to that citizen to
learn that all the scientific, educational,
developmental work of his government
the activities that mean better health
and more intelligent citizenship, better
crops, better herds, better people-the
activities of the Agricultural Depart
ment, the life-saving work of the Bu-
reau of Mines, the Bureau of Educa-
ton, the land-grant colleges, the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics, Women's Bu-
reau, and the scientific work of the
Geological Survey, the Coast and &C.
odetic Survey. the Bureau of Standards
and the Smithsonian Institution-for
all this work that goes to produce hap
piness. the U. S. A. is spending only
one cent out of every dollar appropri-
ated for 1920!
What happens to the other SO cents?
Six cents of it goes for the primary
functions of the governmental the legis-
lstive. executive and judicial machinery
and the State Department.
And the other SO cents?
Every cent of it goes to pay for war
war. past and future.
One cent for happiness; ninety three
cents for misery. That is Uncle Sans
record. Can nothing be done to change
the ratio in the future?

COX AND BOX HARMONY.

Like met like, according to White
House accounts, when Governor Cox
was received by President Wilson. The
mingling of minds and hearts which
this interview produced had a perturb
ing effect on the only third party pres
ent, Franklin D. Roosevelt Mr.. Roose-
welt is not usually ecstatic. But this
scene of Sunday morning moved him to
say: II wish that every American pres
ent could have been a silent witness to
the meeting between these two great
men,"
Let US hope that at least Colonel
House and Ex-SecretarV Lansing were
"silent witnesses" in the spirit.
On what did the two great men"
agree? Mr.. Wilson reports: 81 found
that he and l were absolutely at one
with regard to the great issue of the
League of Nations and that he is ready
to be the champion in every respect of
the honor of the nation and the secure
peace of the world"
Governor Cox echoes: eve are
agreed as to the meaning and suffici-
ency of the Democratic platform and
the duty of the party in the face of
threatened bad faith to the world in the
name of America. "What he
promised l shall, if elected, endeavor
with all my strength to give"
These statements may be subject,
like the covenant itself, to future in
terpretations and reservations. Cover
nor Cox brought two League reserva-
lions to Washington. He may construct
later some Colombus, Ohio, reserva-
tons to the program of what he prom.
ised / shall endeavor with all nv
strength to give" But seemingly, as
far as the President can control the sit
uation, the Democratic nominee is now
pledged to continue Mr.. Wilson'S fight
for ratification of the treaty on the
latter's own terms-that is, with no
reservations or with reservations which
will be merely ''supererogatory."

MINOR PIPKIN SHOT A BEAR"
Story Of an Episode of the Little Mis-
souri, That Had Mena Men Guessing.


The Star of recent date told Of
Jolly fishing party composed of prom
inent Mena men that LETT for the wilds
of the Little Missouri, over in Mont
gomery county They came back on
Friday and all say they had fine
time and all the fine fish they could
eat. and that one member of the
party, Minor Pipkin, "shot bear"
And that's the big story.
AS related to representative OF
The Star, the camping place was in
the wilds, with ''wilds" capitalized
and MISUNDERSTANDING also in
black type. Bear tracks were seen
numerously, and one night some
bruin made a raid on the camp and
made away with bunch of fish and
perhaps other delicacies. In the
alarm, Mr.. Pipkin was said to have
been quicker than his companions,
and yet the intruder got away UNI
scathed. From that time forth bar,
meat" was the one thing most desired
lin fact, it made all other things
seem triiing.
Now Minor had a trusty 30-30, and
all credited him with both ability as
marksman and with lots of nerve.
With everybody on the qui vive. Minor
was first to sight the game, and with
aim unerring, put 5000 true 10 the
vital spot, and the game took the
count.
Cautiously the spot was reconnoi-
tered. and when no signs of life were
discovered, the party gathered about
the victim, and
Found a big brood SOW, shot thru
and thru.
When CONSERVATION had succumbed
to calm legal reasoning, an energetic
search was instituted for the owner.
In the meantime the owner had learn
ed that his hog had been killed, and
was properly and we'll enraged over
the depreciation and loss.
In the end, however, the parties got
together, and an assessment of re-
spectacle amount was levied and Sab
sorbed" by the five members of the
party and all was peace and good
will.
Besides Mr.. Pipkin, j. B. Goss, w.
S. MacLafferty, Fred C. Embry and
N. d. Roberts shared in the sport and
expenses.
p S.-f any part of the above is
