BIG DUBOIS COUNTY FAIR !!
THE COUNTY FAIR

The season of county fairs is at
hand; the period between harvests
when the farmer and his family have
a short respite from tasks that de-
mand every daylight moment.
The Pocket is famed for its splen-
did county fairs and few other sec
tons of Indiana or adjoining states
can successfully compete with the
splendid farm product and live stock
exhibits that are assembled each fall
and supplemented with entertain
ment of commendable character.
Time was when the county fair
and the occasional circus were the
marked the high spots for jewellers
in the country. That, however, was
before the advent of the automobile
and the development of transporta-
ton facilities to their present per-
lection.
AS a result of the progress that
has been made in the last quarter of
century many county fairs became
only a memory because they failed to
keep pace and merit the patronage
that was once accorded them.
In those communities where agri-
culture is still the forefront and
} where pride of achievement is still
strong the county fair has developed
} in keeping with modern conditions
and is fulfilling useful mission.
1t affords opportunity for a review
of the achievements of the commun-
ity during the past year; it makes
possible the renewal of acquaint-
anceships and an interchange of
ideas that are helpful, and it breaks
pleasantly the monotony of a busy
season for the husbandman. The
county fair of today is conducted on
higher plane than were its prede-
cessors; it is a really helpful institu-
ton and that largely accounts for its
survival in those communities where
it is still success.
When men and women feel no
pride in the work which they are
doing they have arrived at danger
Gus stage in life, and it is the pride
of achievement alone that will keep
the county fair alive 1t is a fine
thing to enter into friendly competi-
ton with ones neighbors to ascer-
tain who produces the best live stock,
the finest grain, the most luscious
fruit, the most perfect vegetables.
1t is excellent for the housewife to
display the results of her handiwork,
her achievements in domestic science
instead of permitting the success
that crowns her efforts to be known
only to members of the family that
she serves so unselfishly.
1t is well that for a little time
these things should be displayed
where all may see, that mention of
them should be made in the press, in
order that they may be elevated
above the commonplace and provide
some measure of happiness that &C
companies recognition of work we'll
done.
The county fair season is at hand.
with enough of the frivilous to sea-
son the real significance of the event,
so make the most of it for it is worth
while.-Evansville Courier.

The Tide CifyWard.

The congestion OF population In
urban districs is an old complaint.
IL seems 10 be an inevitable conse-
quence OF our industrial civilization.
and none of the schemes for check
ing IL have proved effective. The
disclosure by the census that the
cities are growing seven and a half
times faster than the rural districts
is therefore no surprise. II is not so
much that the cities have forged ahead
a. that the country has fallen behind.
In the years from 1910 TO 1920 indeed.
the cities have gained only five new
inhabitants where they gained six In
the preceding decade. But rural
growth has been only one-third as
great. a

Chicago, Sept. s. Woman's ad-

gradual but sure extinction of the

her to many court houses in the
state.
"The spittoon and its brothers,

"are becoming almost as scarce as

baddest' of men seem to have some
hesitancy about exhibiting before
women their fondness for the cud."

SAYS RULE OF
PAST YEARS
WAS RUINOUS
Philippine Islands Suf-
fered Under 3-Year
Regime Just Ended
(Associated Press)

Washington. Sept. 5,-An address,
Of Bishop Charles Brent, of the Epis
cOpal diocese of New York, before
the International Political and Eco.
nomic Institute at WilliamstOwn
Mass, and series Of advertise
ments running in financial papers
Offering for sale Philippine Govern
ment bonds have very intimate re-
latiOn.
Bishop Brent, for years bishop In
| the Philippines, has only recently re-
turned to this country. In his ad-
dress before the institute few days
ago he said, speaking Of the Ameri-
can policy In those islands:
There are two criticisms to be
made of the last administration in
Washington. The first is, that where
as all appointments to Philippine
offices had formerly been made
without regard to American politics,
after 1913 the partisan line was
very sharply drawn. The second is,
that whereas men Of real leadership
had always before been sent to high
office there, in recent years the men
sent have been Of the kind who
were content merely to find out what
the Filipinos want and give them
their desire"
The distressing financial condi-
lions in the Philippines by which
the government itself is practically
bankrupt and all private business
Frustrated is direct result Of Dem
ocratic administration described by
Bishop Brent 1t was to relieve this
situation that the congress recently
authorized the Philippine govern
ment to increase its indebtedness by
$15, 100000 and to raise which
bonds are now being sold.
The Harding administration i'm
dispatched American
bankers to take charge Of the
islands finances in an endeavor to
prevent absolute ruin. The congress
passed the emergency resolution In
the Philippine legal indebt-
edness by $15,0OO,O00. But 1t will
take a long time and hard work to
overcome the evil effects of eight
years Of Democratic mismanagement
md the Wilsonian idea Of self deter
mination as applied to the islanders.
