Well, this tenth-rate bit Of propa-
ganda is now exploded. The feeble
perpetrator of the hoax has been dis
covered The discovery of this gen
tleman was a good piece of work
and is hereby praised. Must ask at
the same time, however, whether this
is or is not a fair way Of sowing i'm
pressions in the minds of a hundred
and ten million brilliant Americans
about one of the hardest problems in
the world.
Don't all answer at once. Let us
now pass on to another contemporary
example of how our rulers. so much
superior to mere journalists, some
times deal with the infinitely difficult
matter of credit. The following quo
tation is from the Congressional
Record
Mr.. President, / am not advised as
to whether or not any of the friends
of the Federal Reserve Board were
specializing in cotton at that time.
The Senator from Georgia reminded
US the other day that they loaned
TO themselves in the system the sum
of $4,000, 900.
II want TO say just here, Mr.. Presi-
dent. that II they invested any part
OF that $4,000, 900 in speculation on
the bear side of the cotton market in
the month of August last year. they
made a lot of money"

often receive casual attention. Sup
pose instead of just glancing into the
pens and passing cn, you start early
and go through with the judges.
Size up the animals and see how
nearly your appraisal checks up with
theirs. You can get a fair idea of
how to Judge animals for yourself
when you come to make purchase,
and you ought to get new ideas on
breeding and animal husbandry.
Women of the fx4ly can take the
same suggestion when they go
through the domestic arts exhibits.
New friendships and new ambitions
ought to result from conversations
over the production of prize loaf of
bread or q fine piece of needle work.
Efforts to make the county fair
more instructive and helpful are
bringing results. One Southern fair
will devote $500 to bringing persons
from all parts of the State who excel
in various domestic arts, such as but
ter and cheese making, knitting ard
fancy needle work. They will display
not only the finished articles, but the
methods of making them.

Why Fairs Were Established.

What do you get out of the county
fair?
An opportunity to show your Prov
ess with post maui by ringing a
bell at the top of a tower.
A kewpie doll or a box of candy
from the spinning Jenny and three
shots at a cclored boys head with a
baseball?
County fairs were established to
promote agriculture and domestic art
through competition and instruction,
and most of them receive public aid
for that purpose. Concerted efforts
are being made by extension workers
of the United States Department of
Agricultural colleges to bring legiti-
mate attractions Of the county or
neighborhood fair up to the pulling
power of the tent shows and midways,
and improvement along that line is
already noticeable. The agricultural
and domestic exhibitions are present
at every fair and they offer opportun-
tiles to farm folks 10 gather valuable
ideas.
Are you one of those to be lea by
a Darker?
Just because the tray of plunls, ap-
pies and lucious grapes, or full-row-
ed yellow corn cen not get out IN
front of the tent and shout, that is
no reason you cannot put in a pleas
ant and profitable afternoon with
them.
When you 90 to the fair this fall
direct your steps first to the exhibit
buildings. Perhaps you grow corn.
You may have exhibits there. Any
way you will find men who have spec
linens of their best product, They are
likely to be in the neighborhood of
their tables waiting for someone to
talk to. Stop and cnat with one Of
them. Point to blue-ribbon ear and
ask the man how he produced it, and If
he is an ordinary individual you will
see his eyes light up at your interest.
Possessed of listener, he will tell
you how he went into the field the
previous year and selected seed ears
from the finest hills; how he germina-
ted kernels to see if he had disease
free seed; how he selected the piece
of ground best adapted to growing
corn; how he prepared the ground
and cultivated it to produce ears OF
prize-winning perfection.
You probably have ideas of your
own, and in O. moment or so there
i likely to be a lively discussion, in
which other growers will join, or how
he would like to raise it. Possibly
farmers will arrange tc exchange
favorite varieties of seed. Lifelong
friendships have been established
from smaller beginnings.
The prize tomato men and the prize
apple men and the prize-pumpkin men
will be equally willing to tell you how
they did it. Spend day in this man.

ouire no urging. You probably will

Americas $ Strongest Quartet of Golfers
 To Inuade England
By WALTER CAMP

tCoRyrhSat, IDzls by The AGc-Hcral0s)
 New York. April 2.-Those who have been worrying over the composition of the quartet of amateurs and profess sional selected to represent the United States in match play against Great Brit ain at the British open championship on the St. Andrews links June 20 need dis miss their fears that our strongest four may not be pitted against the golfers of Albion. For it was made clear today that if any one of the four-French
 Hagen, Barnes and Hutchinson-is off his game. some other members of the invaders team, whose play is coming strong will be substituted At least, the idea prevails among those familiar with the subject that entries may be changed after the original entries are submitted.
 As to our invading team in it's en- tirety, the selection may be regarded as fairly representative. It should be noted, too, that the players are of the most varied character so that if the conditions are against one it will not prove necessary that they are against all The team consists of French, Hagen, Hutchinson, Barnes. Hampton. Hackney, Mcleod. Loos, Hoffler, McClean, Ker- rigan and Melhorn Barnes has made the bes. showing of any of the four men over there, doing very well last year at the time when Hagen fell down. Hutch inson is one of those brilliant players likely to play a remarkable game at any time. Hackney is big and powerful. and has been playing for years in the winds of Atlantic City. which will certainly prepare him for what may come in the way of gentle zephyrs over there.

TWIN-CIT|ES HOLD
 MATCH GUN SHOOTS

Albany. April r. Especial 1.-The first of a series of shoots between the Albany and the Decatur gun clubs was held this afternoon at the McDuff farm, home of the Decatur club. Next week the two clubs will meet on the grounds of the Albany club.
 With the organization of gun clubs in each of the Twin Cities. much interest in trap-shooting has been aroused here and the weekly shoots of the two az sregations are well attended both by members and visitors. A cordial invita- 7 ton was extended to the public to attend the shoot Friday.

left field, the Baron speed merchant counted on an infield out. It rained through the Chicks half of the fourth and continued to do so as Emory whacked out his three-ply lick. After that, how ever. the sun broke through the clouds and the fans beat it back for their bleacher seats
 when Taylor got base on balls, ad- vanced on Gooch's single and scored on Stewards safe crack to right Gooch, however, was tossed out at the plate on an attempt to score on the same drive.
 When the sixth rolled around the home lings went after Zahniser tooth and toe nail. Emory outran a throw to first on an infield tap and Traynor was hit by q pitched ball. Bernsen slSied to left, but Clarke came through with a timely clout to center and Emory registered. Silvas attempt was safety to right and Traynor tallied. Taylor then whacked one to the middle garden for safe hit and Clarke slid into home plate He was safet by mile, but Dan Pfeenninger had seen where the moon had an eclipse last night and he allowed his eyes to do the same thing. He called Clarke out at the plate and was presented with flock of misses for his poor decision.
 CHICKS STILL AT IT
 This decision seemed to take the per out of the Barons and the Chicks came right back and added couple more runs in the first half of the seventh, when Camp got on on single and McLarry lifted oite to left which Silva misjudged. Doc allowed the ball to fall far over his head, Camp scoring and McLarry racing all the way to third. Williams hit a short fly to Silva Doc cut loose a throw to the plate. Johnny Gooch let the ball get through him, and McLarry also scored.
 The Barons scored. too. in their hali of the seventh, but the Chicks came right back with another in the eighth and that's the way the battle finished-9-5.
 The Chicks. who are leading the league, look like they got to the top and ran up six straight victories by virtue of the fact that they have a good ball club If something doesn't happen in Memphis to disrupt the club, it's an odds-on bet that Abbott and his coop of Chicks will land in the first division this year.
