were soIidly against carnival at
our County Fair. Really, think
this is true Of every thinking wo-
man in our county if they would
only express their opinion. In every
good and great movement women
start for that which is right, and
how can we sit by idly and seem-
ingly sanction evil things when we
know it is to the hurt of our boys
and girls? They will before many
years be the leaders in our church
es, etc, and we must put before them
amusements of high moral standard.
| believe our County Fair can sur
vive without the carnival, but we
people must pull together to make
it clean, successful one. Our men
will come down on the right side OF
the fence if we women will come out
and let them know how we stand in
this matter. Let us do the right
thing and God will helpus

Dear Mr.. London:
/ have read both of your editorials
in regard to the gambling devices
anu the questionable shows that are
generally at our Fair.
/ am very much opposed to these
two features. don't think the
Fair can ever be success or ever
be any pleasure to our county with
these features attached.
The reason you have not had more
replies to your request for criticism
is because the impression has gone
abroad that the critics will have to
raise $1,00000 to recompense the
Fair Association. know tits very
difficult to make the Fair pay but
j think it would be better to do away
with the Fair than to submit to the
blighting influences that these fea-
lures have on our community.
] believe that there would be much
more interest shown in the exhibit
part of the Fair than there is if the
two features, mentioned above, were
not connected with it. Apparently,
the interest of the exhibitors has de
creased every year since the first
year.
Perhaps, some Chautauqua arrange
ment could he made that would sub
stitutc for the Carnival. Perhaps,

MISS Davis Opposes.

Dear Sir:-Last year l wrote you
concerning the evil influence of q
carnival on the young people Gspe-
cially, and | am still for q Fair
without carnival.
] believe the one last year was
cleaner, in some respects, than 9th
ers we have had, yet, there was SO
much. grumbling, and | am sure
there were many who were poorer,
in more ways than one, after the
Fair than they were before.
Surely we do not want a Fair at
the cost of some hoy or girl bieng
led astray. Think what Christ said
one soul was worth.
| believe the people arc willing to
give the money needed to hold a
Fair. :

 Ahak murdered Agluetuk in Kong hermust This village lies far to the east of Fort McPherson. The murder it is said. was in cold blood.
 Ahak went off across the tundra on a hunting expedition. For months he hunted muskox and caribou. The snow was deep when he returned, with his dogsled piled high with furs and meat.
 No shouts of welcome greeted him. The village folk were silent. As he strode among the hurs they bent black looks upon him. Ahak knew the mean ing of this reception He went to his igloo. took off his worn hunting clothes and arrayed himself in his best garments Then he sat down upon the skin of a Polar bear and waited
 The villagers found him sitting mute and motionless like statue of copper. Their leader started to make speech. Ahak sileuccd him. Speeches were use less. A deerhide rope coled outside would be more to their purpose. He stepped outside and pointed ou the rope Silently without fuss, Kasabovi and Amokuku. strongest men of the village, placed a moose about Ahak's neck and strangIed him. They left him igloo

These inmates cost the state $45,OOO a year for maintenance and occupy ia ciliies at the institutions representing a capital outlay of over $190,0OO.
 Tt is evident it would be good busi- ness for the state to pay the expense of transporting these non-rcsidents to their place of residence wherever it is possible to do and to take steps to prevent the commitment of non-resi. dents in the first instance. Efforts should be made to secure the cO-Opcra- tions of the Probate Judges in making a more complete and thorough inves- tigaton to determine place of resi- dence and in transporting nOn-resi- dents directly from the counties be fore commitment to the state ins;itu- tions.
