The annual county fair is held dur
ing the last three days of this week.
It is simply an agricultural fair and
not an aggregation of snake-eating
artists, living skeletons, giants and
other representatives of the genus
fakir generally. Those who crave
that. type of fair and the more than
numerous opportunities for parting
with their money are referred to the
fairs yet held in some of the counties.
The purpose of the annual fair is a
serious one, the exhibiting of the
products of farms and homes and
the extension of agriculture infor-
nation. It is another expression of
cooperation and it's success is visi-
BILE proof of the degree of occupa-
tional interest felt by the farmers
of the county. 1t would be an ideal
county in which all farmers would
be progressive but there are enough
forward looking farmers in this
county to insure the success of this
and all future fairs, through CO.
operation in effort.
The Minnesota State Potato Show
will be held in Duluth on November
g. 9, 10, 1920. Premiums amounting
to over $500 are offered to the pota-
to growers of the state. Mem who
are authorities on the development
of better strains of potatoes, grow
wing and marketing, will speak at
the meetings. AS many as possible
of Cook county potato growers
should make an effort to attend the
show. ALI who have good potatoes
should help in the work of getting
up county display which will con-
sist of twelve samples, each sample
by separate grower and consisting
of thirty-two potatoes. Only stand
ard varieties can be shown and not
more than four varieties can be in
cluded in any county display.
There is no better way of adver-
tising the potato growing capacity
of this county than by sending ex-
:hibits to such shows. i Digging time
is now on. Growers should pick out
: few bushels at that time and can
later select the best of them for the
exhibit. The county agent will be
glad to help in the work and will
attend to the shipping and display
of the samples at the show.

Keep the Canal Open

NbOSloi 1IdESCIlpC)
In the most critical hour of long.
continued transportation crisis, with
freight as ruinously congested as fuel
is dangerously short throughout New
England. the Federal Government
mas suddenly abandoned the Cane
Cod Canal. First expectations were
that the canal would continue to be
operated at least in an improyised
fashion, but word has come from the
cape this morning to the effect that
all movement is at standstill. the

the blockade of ships striving to
reach New England with coal and
other freight urgently needed. or
their subsection to the delays and
hazards of the sail round the Cane
But that is not the worst Of the story
what New England faces, unless
operation of the canal be speedily re-
stored, is the freezing of this imnort
ant waterway. its reduction to a state
Tor total uselessness duang weeks

All that New England sees and
observes is that in an hour when ber

The Municipal Elections.

The Adriatic question, the low cost
of living secured by Candidate
Palmer, Article y nor Bryan versus
booze. none of these exciting issues
appear TO have affected the NUM-
cipal elections in Maine. It was
Democratic year in Waterville, which
by the way is inclined to swap horses
once in about so often" the Re-
publicans of Bath evidently enjoyed
scrapping among themselves rather
than with the Democrats; over in
Lewiston there appears to have been
some peevishness among the Repub-
licans over local matter and down
in Ellsworth a long time candidate
took his pitcher to the we'll once too
often. Anyhow if the Democrats
find satisfaction therefrom it's safe
to say they'll need it before the year
is over.

Courage May Yet Be a Political
Asset.

Of course Lenin and Trotsky hoped
FOR revolution in France, as they hope
fox revolution throughout the world.
In no other way may their personal
success in Russia be assured. But
revolution didn't come in France.
There, as everywhere under the
domination Of the radical element, the
railroad strikers demanded nation
aiization Of the railways. It is a
significant fact respecting the atti-
tude Of labor throughout the world
that it should seek government own
ership Of property. when it doesn't go
still further and advocate ownership
by the employees as in Russia. 1t
likewise is q significant fact that
France no more than this country
wants government ownership. She
has the advantage of this country in
that she may mobilize the railway
workers as troops, Furthermore the
sentiment among the French soldiers
and sailors was opposed to this at
tempt of u small minoritv to dictate
to the country.
At this time it is Well that we
should note that the French govern
ment had the courage to handle the
situation without gloves or cowardly
fear Of the possible effect on the next
political election. Isn't the time com
ing when courage Of this SORT is to be
the biggest political asse. a govern
ment may have?

A Costly Victory.
(Phila. No. Americana

Publication of the correspondence
on the Adriatic question shows con-
clusively that illness has not i'm

sons powers as a writer and q con-
troversialist. His countrymen should,
however make the most OF whatever.
comfort this circumstance affords.
since it is the only aspect of the in
ternational situation which give
grounds for such feeling AS was
foreseen. the president has won
another diplomatic victory: but. as in
many like cases. it has been achieved
at the expense of Europe and the
United States. Settlemen. of one of
the most dangerous problems arising
from the war has been indefinitely
deferred; strife-breeding suspicious
and rivalries have been intensified
without providing a means of allay-
ing them; and, finally, increased hos
tility toward America has been bred
among the Allied nations, which are
incensed and utterly bewildered to
fnd that a government which will
not cooperate with them asserts a
right Of veto and dictation.
The outstanding feature of the
correspondence. indeed. is a tone of
bitterness such as is seldom discerni-
BILE in diplomatic communications
between friendly nations, not to
speak Of associates in common
cause. It is a depressing comment
airy upon the new world order to
which such ostentatious Difference is
paid. to ind that there is more acer-
bity, a keener spirit Of discomfort and
accusation, in the messages that
passed between President Wilson and
the Allied premiers than ever marked
the notes he exchanged with the gov
eminent Of the kaiser five years ago.
There is left hardly a pretense of
harmony, and such desire for CO.
opertion as remains is plainly inspir-
cd by considerations Of expediency or
Of need rather than Of genuine SYM
pathy and confidence. On one side il

rogance: on the other, a disdain for
