SCHOOLS PUT IN
new FAIR CLASS
Educational Exhibits at Free
Fair Will Give All Equal
Chance at the Prizes.

Quite departure has been made from
the routine practiced in handling the
county educational exhibits at the
county fair this year, according to Mrs.
Kate Gait Zaneis, and one that she
believes will stimulate interest in the
smaller schools of the county
Heretofore the schools have all enter
ed and competed against each other
without regard TO their class. in that
manner a school with but one or two
teachers was compelled 10 enter against
the larger ones of the county with
the result that there was more OF less
satisfaction encountered.
This year the schools have been clas.
sifed under four different heads, and
schools appearing under this classified.
ton will compete with each other in
stead of as whole. The classification
has been arranged as follows:

OPEN SEASON FOR SHOREBIRDS
BEGINS SOON IN MANY STATES

The open season for hunting black
bellied and golden plovers and great
er and lesser yellowlegs varies in the
different States, the earliest openfns
date being August 16 for Maine, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Is
land, New York, New Jersey, Della
ware, Maryland, and Virginia, ac-
cording to an announcement issued by
the Biological Survey, United States
Department of Agriculture.
In other States the open season be-
gins at various dates after September
l. A closed season throughout the year
prevails in all States on all other
shorebirds, including avocets, cur
leWs, doWitchers, godwits, knots, oys-
ter catchers, phalaropes, sandpipers,
stills, surf birds, turnstones, willet,
and all plOvers and snipe other than
golden and black-bellied plovers and
Wilson snipe or jacksnipe. Practically
all States require hunters to obtain
State hunting licenses.
Greater and lesser yellowlegs and
black-bellied plover are reported
plentiful this year, and excellent
shooting should be found at many
places on the Atlantic coast and along
inland rivers and bays throughout
their range, where good feeding
grounds are located.

been passed in seventeen Republican
states.
IF an eX-service man wants to buy
home in Arizona, California, Idaho
Oregon or South Dakota and he
hasn't the money, the state will give
him financial aid but no such aid can
be had by any eX7service man in any
Democratic state. While the federal
government through the present ad-
mln1stratlon is furnishing the finest
hospitals possible, nineteen Republi-
can states have passed laws so that ex-
service men may be admitted free to
the state hospitals fro free treatment.
Only three Democratic states have
made such free treatment possible.
MANY times the ex-soldier could
get his feet on the ground if he could
have the loan of sufficient money. If
he lives in a Democratic state he is
out of luck as we used to say in the
army. But he can obtain such loans
in the Republican states of Oregon,
South Dakota and Washington.
"The Republican states of Massa-
chusetts, Nebraska, Nevada and Wash
ingtOn have made laws providing for
the rendering of assistance to ex-
soldiers out of work, so that they may
find adequate employment. Not one
Democratic state has made such a
provision.
"And so it is on down the line,
kiddies. Those men at Washington,
in the Senate and House, who are al
ways talking the loudest about the
love of their party for the ex-service
man come from Democratic states
where very little has been done to
give him relief. In other words, the
story Freddie's mother read is Just
another part of the loud talking being
lndulged in by the Democrats to try
70 direct the attention of the citizens
1f the country away from the splendid
work being done by Republican states
or the eX-soldier. 1t is the old case
If loud talking and little doing. The |
Republicans are plugging along both |
1t Washington and in every state con-
rolled by them to do everything pos
jible for the eX-serVice man and at |
he same time leave the federal and |
tate treasures in a sound condition.

More Rail Complications
(From Philadelphia Ledger

Maintenance-of-way men, like the
shop workers who precipitated the
present strike, belong to- what might
be called the secondary operating
force of the railroads. Theirs is the
newest and least experienced of the
unions. Until the war the mainte-
nance men were not organized at all.
They have, therefore, none of the ex-
perlence with the technique of un-
ionism which, in the case Of the older
brotherhoods, makes normally for re-
straint and order.
1t is characteristic of the mainte-
nance men that they walked out in
their first big strike against the orders
OF their leaders. Of the $4,000 men
who. quite very large percentage are
foreign born, who draw about the
lowest wages paid to any class of rail-
road workers. A strike such as theirs
would not be tolerated by labor or
ganizations of experience. It is the
more dangerous because it has the as
pect of a stampede.
These newest strikers are track and
bridge repairers for the most part.
Like the shOpmen, with whom they
maintain the closest sympathy. they
will not be Immediately missed. But
their continued absence would tend
slowly to curtail the operation of
trains OF all sorts on affected roads.
Like rolling equipment, railroad road
beds and bridges, as well as switches,
racks and signals, need constant SUI
pervision and endless repair.

The people Of the United States earn
estly desire peace. The last admin
istration, with an insistence thai
would not consider any method Of Sc
curing the peaceful settlement of in
ternational disputes except the League
of Nations, went out Of power largely
because of that fact. The people saw
in that scheme an assurance of furth-
er wars rather than a reasonable plan
for the disbursement and prevention
of wars
The present administration with rare
wisdom undertook to secure concrete
and definite international agreements
which would result in diminishing the
probability of future wars by limiting
the armament of those nations whose
competitive strife could only result in
future wars. Accordingly, the Presi.
dent called a Conference to meet at
washington to consider the limitation
of armament and to make such settle
ments and agreements especially with
regard to the Pacific and adjoining
territory as would determine existing
disputes and remove causes of future
discord.
Judged by practical results the
Washington Conference was the great
est actual achievement in the cause
Of peace ever accomplished. It Sc
cured treaty agreement by the five
great maritime powers for definite
limitation of naval armament. It Sc.
cured a definite agreement regarding !
the use of submarines and noxious /
gases in warfare. 1t secured by the |
four-pact treaty an agreement fixing |
the status, defining the rights, and |
limiting the building and enlarging of

and agreements that will prevent the
