B. Hoffa, Billy Hoffa has always
been a booster for any and every
thing which he thought would prove
of ultimate benefit to the City of
Grenada and Grenada County. One
Of his greatest efforts has been for
good roads. He has talked and talked
roads. Long before others talked of
improving the highway system in the
County, MI. Hofa was agitating the
movement and he has taken a promi-

the purpose of helping the County.
His time and his efforts have been

That generation had new issues to

Fair will help use them. More peo-
pie n needed in Grenada County;
the fair is an agency that should
serve in bringing in more people.
The Sentinel feels that there is
an opportunity in the 1921 Fair, per
haps greater than in any fair ever
held here. A most peculiar condition
confronts the county. The farm is
the backbone, the bedrock, the basis
of all prosperity and never before
did this fact need more emphasis than
Never before did the farmer

The Fair management is optimis-
bic about the fair. It is assured of
more fine stock on exhibit than ever

Proposed Reform of Calendar.

Prof. Rene Barre of Dillon, has a
most revolutionary plan for calendar
reform. He would shorten most of
the weeks TO six days, give US Sat
urday but once month, take one day
from January and, except in leap
year, from July, and give February 80
days. The LIST, It'll, 18th. 10Th and
25th days of each month would be
Sundays-sixty to the year and New
Years day and Christmas would al
ways fall on Sunday. This sidetra cks
the objections to placing certain days
in each year outside the weekly and
monthly reckoning. 1t is doubtful,
however, If the public would ever
cheerfully accept this reparceling of
its time.-Scientific American.

Community FAIR
A BIG SUCCESS
Big Crowd Attend Both Days and
Exhibits We're Extra Fine.


The big community fair held at
Cheney Center oh Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week, was very
successful in both attendance and
in the entertainment furnished.
Large crowds from all of the sur
rounding territory were on hand
and helped make the event the most
successful of any fair yet held. The
display of exhibits was not as large
as on former occasions but the
quality was of the best-some of
the grain and vegetables being of
ertra fine quality. :
Two features of the fair proved
to be especially interesting-the
health exhibit and talks and the
judging of the babies.
The proposition OF continuing the
fair next year has been discussed
and there has been some talk of
the Holly business men taking over
the fair and with the cooperation
OF the south side hold the fair in
Holly next year on a larger scale
taking both irrigated and non ir-

A silo On Fire

the Fort. where the contents of
16 by 4S silo are burning. The fire
was first noticed some time last
Friday, when about half of the con
tents Of the silo, which was nearly
full of silage, had been consumed.
The silo contained about 25 tons OF
silage The silage consisted mostly
OF dry corn fodder and apparently
was put into the silo too dry The
silo is of concrete with concrete
roof. 1t was at first the intention
to pour water on the burning sflage
in an effort to put out the fire.
but it decided that this could only
ruin what silafe was left, so all ven
tilatOrs were closed and as much
air as possible was shut out, so the
fire would burn out slowly with rs
little injury to the concrete as
possible.
There is nothing to do but per.
nit the silage to be consumed 1t
makes very little smoke.
