The live stock and farm exhibits will
be under the supervision of a sub
committee headed by C. P. Barrett,
while the exhibits of poultry, the
canning clubs and domestic work will
be handled by sub committee head
ed by Miss Ashbaugh
According to Mr.. Daniels, the gem
eral chairman, the racing and other
sporting events of the old time fair
will be eliminated but there will be
merry-go-rounds, ferris wheels, whirl-
igigs-in fact, amusements aplenty
for the youngsters and the young old
ones. This part of the fair, as well
as the securing of the manufacturers
exhibits is turned over to the Cham
ber of Commerce as its part of the
work. 1t is planned to make this
manufacturers exhibit one of the
greatest shown in the state and it is
probable that the exhibits will be SO
numerous that some vacant building
in the city will have to be secured
tor that purpose.
The County Fair Committee will
secure the prizes and premiums next
week so that complete list can be
published as soon as possible.

ROAD CONDITIONS
TO Be REPORTED
AT MASS MEETING

A mass meeting of the citizens of
the county will be held at the Court
House at ten o'clock Monday morn
ing to hear the reports of the 81
men who were appointed last week
to inspect the various roads of the
county-and to prepare for the "co-
operation meeting" with the Board
of Supervisors scheduled for two
o'clock Monday afternoon.
This is the result of feeling that
has spread over the county that the
Board of Supervisors are "up against
it" with their road problems and the
desire of the people to know more
about these troubles SO that the nee
essary steps of assistance may be
made without delay.
These two meetings were planned
at the last meeting of the Chamber
OF Commerce and the details are be-
ing worked out by the Good Roads
Committee, of which G. Odie Daniels
is chairman and the other members
are N. G. Bennett, H. A. Beattie and
Dr.. Eckford. DR.. Eckford was add
ed to this committee by the Board of
Directors at its meeting Tuesday
night.
The program for the morning ses-
sion is to hear the reports of the 81
appointed inspectors and to pick out
the speakers and make arrangements
for the afternoon meeting.
The citizens of the county who are
interested in good roads are urged by
the committee to attend both meet
ings.

After supper they will run until 7 80
p. m. Volley Ball, Indoor Baseball,

contests in Mass Play.
Beginning at 7:45 p. m. and con-
tinuing for half an hour there will
be songs. A trained leader of mass
singing will be in charge. Follow
ing the song service there will be a
half hour address on some subject
of interest to the boys. Several
talented speakers have been secured
for this part of the program.

B|CCROWDHEARS
GEORGE R. JAMES

A large crowd that filled the Court
room of the Court House heard Hon.
George R. James speak on What it
Takes to Make County" last Fri
day afternoon, under the auspices of
the Chamber of Commerce.
The speaker was introduced in a
few we'll chosen and timely remarks
by Hon. M. A. Saunders.
For an hour Mr.. James held his
hearers spell-bound by his masterly
effort. In most earnest and con-
vincing manner he told the farmers
that in order to get results from
farming they must put back into the
soil as much as they take out He
based his argument on the Scriptures
and quoted, Gen. 1928: "Be fruitful,
and multiply, and replenish the earth
and subdue it."
The speaker said that any man.
could make money out of farming
provided he followed the advice of
DR.. Fox: "Have rich land and keep
the grass out"
He told the merchants and busi-
ness men that it was their duty to
give the farmer back as much as he
took from him-that is, give him his
moneys worth. He gave good rea
sons why the farmer and his wife
use the mail order catalogue instead
of coming to town to trade, and ap-
pealed to the merchant to provide
rest rooms and other conveniences
for the ladies and children who come
to town to shop.
"Every man must put into the
world" said the speaker, "all that he
takes out. If he does not, his day
of usefulness is gone and somebody
else must do his share. But when
each contributes to the common store
a requittal for what he takes out,
then the ratio of supply and demand,
of cause and effect, of production
and consumption is reached, and on
this basis human society can exist
and go forward according to the law
of it's being"
Mr.. James made an earnest appeal
to those present to use the Golden
Rule in their business and by so do
ing they would find the community
prospering as meyer before. The
speaker was loudly applauded at the
conclusion of his address, and many
went up to shake hands with him.
