WHY Fairs Were Established.

What do you get out of the county
fair?
An opportunity to show your Prov
ess with a post maui by ringing a
bell at the top of tower.
A kewpie doll or 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 legitl-
mate attractions Of the county or
neighborhood fair up to the pulling
power of the tent shows and mldways,
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 TO gather valuable
ideas.
Are you one of those 70 be LED by

ed yellow corn cen not get out in
front of the tent and shout, that is
no reason you cannot put in pleas
ant and profitable afternoon with
them.
When you 60 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 mon 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 chat 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 a 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

pens and passing cn, you start early
and 60 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 a purchase,
and you ought to get new ideas on
breeding and animal husbandry.
Women of the family can take the
same suggestion when they 60
through the domestic arts exhibits.
New friendships and new ambitions
ought to result from conversations
over the production of prize loaf of
bread or 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 and
fancy needle work. They will display
not only the finished articles, but the
, methods of making them.

Such homely thing as'the making
of good soap has been neglected IN
this country, but there is q revival OF
! interest in it now. If the best soap
maker in the county or in the State
should take her material and simple
equipment to the fair and make soap
there, the interest would be enhanced
and the number of soap makers IN

A HEATED TALK

Chapter 20
The evening before Donald left, he
sat with Jane out under the trees
talking until so late that Mrs. Talbot
feared the girl would be ill from
lack of sleep She herself slept I'M
easily, and once she awoke and lay
staring into the dark, conscious Of
the low murmmer of voices on the
lawn below.
II was easy to hear, because Jane
had insisted that the family sleep
with all the windows open top and
bottom. in the summer. Mr.. Tai
bot permitted himself half a window
full of fresh air, and in the winter,
none at all at night. Amy Talbot dared
not say that this innovation was James
that would arouse opposition at
once. She merely remarked that the
nights seemed 'stuffy" and opened
the windows as Jane told her TO do.
Il was cooler, of course, but then
there was the danger of catching
cold,
She day fretting about this, fear
ing to enjoy the fragrant summer
nights breeze that blew through the
room. She wondered how long she
had slept and what Jane and Donald
could find 10 talk about so many hours.
It's so queer" she once confessed
TO Amy. IF they're in love, why don't
they get engaged? 1t amt right"
To which Amy said nothing.
But Dnoald left the next morning
Luther drove him to the train, and
Jane said goodbye from the porch

wagon went down the road

This practical and unsentimenta
explanation brought a general laugh
from all but Mrs. Talbot. AnC
strange to say. much as she hated
Jane being in love with Donald, she
hated still more the denial of senti
ment.
She made some remark about hel
