THE COMING SHOW

THE COMING SHOW
The members of the various breed
associations are rallying to the aid
of the Wayne county fair, and there
is a generous rivalry to determine
which group can do the most effective
work and put on the best show, &C.
cording to their numbers and lines
of live stock. The enthusiasm is
spreading all over the townships. The
people are beginning to anticipate Il
first class fair, the first of many to
follow, each bigger and better than
the last. From that viewpoint the
wonder grows that this annual enter
prise has been so long delayed.
But it takes more than a good ex-
hibit of live stock to make an attrac-
tive show. The fruits of tree and
vine, the products of garden and field,
the grains and the grasses and the
pick of the farm poultry flocks, all
have their parts in such a display.
Nor must we forget the household
economic section, graced by jellies,
preserves and various edibles, the
pride of the good homemaker. But
you know all about it, SO why ampli-
fly.
Somebody once furnished a line for
our old-time copy books, which read
There is no excellence without
labor" and assuredly this applies to
the promotion of good fair and the
furnishing of it's hundred attractions.
Hundreds of our people will do lot
of work and planning in order to
make the fair a noteworthy success
and will enjoy the doing of it. This
/ - F,lI
will tend to bind us all together and
to make the event noteworthy.
Will Show at Greenvile
At the meeting of the Poland China
men at Fountain City, on Friday night,
it developed that a number of them
are to show at Greenville. This, how
ever, is no new experience as Wayne
folks have been in the habit of show
ing in various counties, as well as at
our own and at other state fairs.
Frank Williams stated at the meeting
that he would show % Poland hogs at
! Greenville. We further understand
that Will Bond, Jerry Meyers, and D.
f. Thurston are among the Wayne
hog men who expect to exhibit a.
Greenville. Len Coming, of Randolph
county, but who lives just across the
/ Wayne line near Lynn, is also slated
to show in Darke county, it was said
on Friday night.
incidentally, we may count upon all
the parties mentioned to show in Glen
Miller park, with many other breeders
of the various strains. The spirit OF
emulation is beginning to charge the
air and the serious business of ar
ranging for creditable show is now
on.
Farm Bloc in Evidence
At the last minute the farm bloc
showed its strength by forcing the
senate committee to strike the clause
permitting vegetable oils to be used
/ in manufacture to come in free OF
/ duty. from the pending bill, by vote
| of 81 to rs.
| AS the paragraph now stands the
bill imposes duties of 8 cents a pound
on cottonseed oil and soy bean oil and
| cents a pound on cocoanut oil and
peanut oil without qualifications. The
proviso which was stricken out per
mitted oil to be imported under bond
/ and the duties RENTED if used in the
manufacture of articles unfit for food
| The Darke County Fair
| With reference to the fair that our
neighbors in Darke county opened up
with a flourish of trumpets on Mon
day, the Darke County Farm Bureau
News said in its August number:
| THE Darke County Fair this year
promises to eclipse all former Fairs.
At this date, we know that the cattle
barns are going to be filled. In
spite of the fact that more room has
+, been provided for hogs, all pens will
be filled Our Fair equipment is now
superior to anything in western Ohio
The addition of the two new build
/ ings has made great improvement;
on what was already well-equipped
Fair Ground. We are glad to say
/ that these grounds are not only used
during Fair Week but every day dur
ing July and August sees a gathering
of some kind at the Fair Grounds.
| I'VE believe it is the duty and
should be a pleasure for all good cit
liens to attend he Fair his year. We
hear people from cher Counies say
they are coming. Help the County
Fair and yourself by attending thii
year"
