A Past Master
OF Repartee
BY Newton @. Parke,

Paris, Mar. 11.-Premier Lloyd
George, past master in the game
OF repartee, had zone OF the best
times of his life" as he afterward
said himself, at a dinner attended
by American and English CORE
spondents the night before the re-
cent conference of the allied su-
preme council ended its labors
here.
AT San Reno Lloyd George in
augurated the system of giving
confidential expression to his
views at newspaper dinners. II
was understood that nothing couId
be printed without his express per-
mission and the widest latitude
was given the questioners, but un-
til the Paris conference the GROSS
examination" seldom lasted more
than half an hour.

pay unless she exports goods. We
don't want her goods. because it
will throw Eng1ishmen out of
work. America doesn't want her
goods. France doesn't want her
goods, and if she sells them to neu-
trails she is competing in our mar
kets. So, you see. gentlemen, my
task is very easy one. Only two
persons can say definitely what is
going to happen in Europe. One
is the Almighty and I won't name
the other"

George, for / would know you

Montgomery Co. Fair
Was a Huge Success

Saturday marked the close Of the
Great Montgomery County Fair for
1921, and to say that the Fair was
decided success in every way is but
expressing the opinion of the thou
sands who attended, in a mild man
ner This years exhibition was UNI
doubtedly an Improvement over that
Of last year, the feature attractions
being the harness and running
races. The crowds that attended,
although not as large as in 1920,
fully came up to the expectation of
the management. The weather was
ideal and the Fair, taken as whole,
was one of the best ever staged by
the local association. The Midway
was considered one of the largest
and cleanest ever in our city and
was visited by thousands during the
week. The Floral Hall proved quite
a drawing card and was the center
Of much interest. The show rings,
although few in number, were quite
interesting.
The gate receipts were not as
heavy as last year, but it is be-
lieved il was a success financially
as well as otherwise. This fact in
deed speaks well for our Fair, as
every other fair held in Kentucky
this year has been a money loser,
and we are proud to know that our
citizens are sufficiently interested
in this community to attend their
own county fair and to see that
their friends from distant points
have an opportunity to do like
wise.

of blindness, caused by strophy,
soon will be demonstrated before the
