ASTOR WILL MOVE.
Millionaire Will Take His Money to
Enuland.

There was much speculation in New
York last week, over the reported an
nouncement in London, by Major, the
Honorable, John Jacob Astor, that he
was transferring his wealth to Eng
land. The realty and personal hold
ings of the late Baron (William Wall
dorf) Astor in the United States to-
tailed more than sS0,OOO,000 according
to referees report filed last March in
supreme court. OF this vast fortune,
in which Major Astor participates
with Viscount Astor, his elder broth
er, $50,O00,OO0 is represented in realty.
The property was conveyed to the two
sons in trust in 1919 and the income
from that source is placed at S5,291,-
260. In addition Major Astor was
given outright by his father Manhat-
tan realty valued at more than ST.
100000.
Several pieces of New York proper
ty have been sold by Major Astor in
the past few years, but it is consider
ed unlikely he will dispose of all real
estate in this country but rather will
transfer his income or personal prop
erty to England.

Agricultural Society.

At meeting of the directors of the
Agricultural Society on Tuesday. there was
considerable discussion of the premiums in
the children's department, and large in
crease was made in the total amount
Most of this will be paid in live stock pre-
miums. list of which will be published
later. Mr.. Snarr will have charge of the
arrangements and competition will be for
members of the boys clubs. which he is
organizing in various parts Of the county.
The premiums for community booths
which made such an attractive show at
the last Fair, were increased-1st, $40
End, $50; 3rd. $40; 4th, $40. A special
building Of a temporary character will be
put up to accommodate these booths as well
as the booths for the boys clubs.
A proposition is being considered to
move all cattle and hog sheds from the
present location to the grove back of the
grandstand, and it will probably be done.
as details being worked out by the COM
mittee have been fully completed.
To present the side of this Society it
was decided to send a delegation to Anna
polls to attend the hearing on the proposed
amendment to the Racing Commission law
This amendment. If carried. will give the
Fair about So, 900 annually to be expended
in premiums and will be great help to
better Fair, and will not be any incease to
direct taxes. as most of the proposed edu-
cational bills are.
1t was decided to offer a purse of $500
for an inter county colt race for trotters
and PAGERS.
A good many changes were made in the
rules for exhibiting. which will appear in
the published premium list. The secretary
was directed to get the premium list out
at once and not wait until July for its dis
tributiOn.
A detachment Of State police will be
asked for to take charge Of the Fair grounds
during the Fair.
Arrangements will be made so that a
double line Of machines can 60 out of the
grounds at one time to facilitate getting
away from the grounds on Thursday.
