VERNON PARISH FAIR
is SCHEDULED OCT. 20.

Farmers and residents of the Parish
of Vernon should paste the dates of
October 20, 2l, and y in their hats
and remember that is the date of their
Parish Fair this year.
The annual get-together of the far
mers and business men in the fall is
valuable means of obtaining definite
information each year of the progress
made. The question of what will be-
come of this section when the mills
saw out and leave is only solved when
tackled from the agricultural stand
point.
Along these lines the Parish Fairs
establish the fact that all kinds of for
age and food crops can be grown to
splendid profit on the cleared cut-Over
and especially the bottom lands of the
Parish.
1t is the duty of each intelligent
farmer to bring in his best products, in
every line of agriculture and show
what can be done. Intelligent farm
ing will make Vernon Pasish pros
porous section, and the exchange Of
good ideas at the annual parish fair is
one of the best means of agricultural
education.
Therefore, every farmer should re-
member the dates and get his exhibits
ready at once. J. M. Oakes, secreta-
ry Of the Fair Association, at Leesville
will give the necessary information.

A. A. PENNANT
RACE ASSURES
GREAT FINISH
Colonies Slight FavOrites, but
MiIIers Continue to Camp
Within Easy Reach.
BLUES THIRD CHOICE

With the season stin a month to go,
the pennant isn't "in," by any means,
In the American Association
But the race apparently has narrowed
down to three, with the LoulsVilIe
Colonies a slight favorite The Min
neapolis AIiIlers and the Kansas City
Blues are the other two given chance
for the bunting by the wise ones. The
MilIers are two and half games behind
the Colonies and have been going better
of late than at any time this season.
But the Colonies have also been playing
heads up baseball despite accidents ana
failure OF Tommy Long, star pitcher, TO
come through.
1t looked as though the Colonels
chances had gone two weeks ago when
Bruno Bethel, veteran second baseman,
broke his ankle. But the Colonies nego-
tistsd a deal for Buck HerZog, veteran
star Of the majors, purchasing him from
the last-place Columbus Senators and he
fitted into the Louisville machine.
Louisville has one advantage over the
MilIers and Blues. They'll finish the
season ar home, playing Indianapolis
Minneapolis, St Paul and Kansas CITY,
in the order named, while the Millers and
Blues are hitting the bumps on the
road However, on the Millers' last road
JGunt they established q splendid record.
Kansas City, six games behind Louis
Vile, furnishes minor league parallel
TO the New York Yankees. The Blues
have the most batting power in the
American Association. but they lack the
head-work and defensive ability TO make
the grade. They lead the league in bat
ting and have scored 100 more runs than
any other club. They also have the
leagues leading pitcher in Gus Bono
and the Associations Babe Ruth in
Bunny Brief. who has clouted twenty
nine home runs.
The Milwaukee Brewers are hanging to
fourth place. Toledo, Indianapolis and
st. Paul are fighting it out for the
leading position in the second division.
Columbus seems hopelessly destined for
last place.
