County Fair Farmer
Chance to Advertise

Plans are now being made for tie
annual Phillips County Fair, which is
to be held September S. 8. Z and 8.
It will undoubtedly be the biggest
fair that Phillips county has put On
and promises. four days of real en-
tcrtainment for all.
The county fair is the farmers ad-
vertisement Of the kind of crops his
county will produce. GOOD exhibits
will not only advertise your own ac-
complishments but will boost your
community and the county as q
whole. The farmer cannot begin to
prepare his exhibits too early. II
you have some fine stock or grain.
enter them in the stock or agricul-
tural departments.
Racing fans cannot AFFORD t6f miss
this fair. The auto. harness and run
ming races viii be well worth seeing.
Since there will be few other fairs
In session at the time of the Phillips
County Fair. there will be some Of
the finest horses In the country gath
cred here. The money available for
racing prizes is increasing materially
and will naturally draw big crowds
to the races. One of the special
feature races will be the business
mems derby. The new buildings
put up last year were lnadequats TO
meet the needs Of some Of the de-
partments. There will be a stock
barn or a shelter of some kind pro-
vided for the stock and horses this
year.
All sections OF the county are dis.
playing unusual interest in the plans
and complete success is assured.
Phillips county is capable Of putting
on 2 splendid exhibition with the CO.
operation OF its farmers and mers

Double Shifts Making
Quick Job Of Elevator

Work on the big new elevator Ii
progressing rapidly and now, In Less
than two weeks, the immense build
ing stands over seventy feet high 1,
is being put up by the Burrell Con
struction company of Chicago and
when finished will be fine addition
to Holyoke and undoubtedly will
show that Holyoke Is in the center
of large grain section Of the coun
try.
The elevator proper will consist Of
four huge towers 95 feet high, besides
a warehouse. forty by thirty-six feet
is to be built on the southwest side
of the main building. The towers and
warehouse will both be made of con
crete. In building the four cylinders
or towers, the concrete is set in
forms which were first built on the
ground and as the work progresses
these forms are raised and again
used. The line Of wet concrete
shows the passer-by that the building
goes up at the rate of about eight
feet day.
There are only two hours out OF
the twenty-four when there is no one
working on the elevator. The work
men are run in two shifts OF ten
hours each. One shift Of eight men
goes on at seven in the morning and
works until six IN the evening and
then the second shift goes to work
at seven and finishes at SIX in the
morning. At night, high power cleo
trio lights run with power from the
city plant. illuminate the elevator
enough to enable the night shift to
continue the construction where the
day shift leaves of.
The new elevator when completed
will have capacity OF about 10000
bushels. Each of the huge cylinders
will hold 5000 bushels, and then
there are two other chambers which
will hold about 1000 bushels each.
Although to the casual observer the
work seems to 60 on very rapidly
the concrete part is only about q
third Of the actual work. II will
take little more than two weeks to
put up the towers and the warehouse
and then comes the installation OF
the machinery and engines. which
will take over four weeks. At the
end of six weeks, or perhaps little
longer. Holyoke will have fine new
elevator ready to take care of the
grain harvest.

year 1921 $4,000. 900 is estimated Ia
have been saved the taxpayers. In
the present calendar year the total
saving to the people in taxes will
reach ss50.O00. 1000. Further savings
to the people in taxes will reach
$3.50, 100000. Further savings of the
same sort win follow In succeeding
years.
1t has been the effort OF certain
partisan Democrats TO compare ex-
penditures for the fiscal year 1928
with those for pre.war years to show
that Republicans have failed In their
promised return to normalcy. How
unfair such a comparison is may be
shown by a tabulation OF some OF
the increased costs OF government

THE MAN WHO WINS

The man who wins is an average man,
Not built on any particular plan:
Nor blest with any peculiar luck;
Just steady and earnest and full of pluck
When asked question he does not guess
He knows and answers no" or "Yes;'
When set task that the rest can't do.
He buckles down till he lput it through.
So he works and waits. till one fine day
There's better job. with bigger pay:
And ths men who shrked whenever the could.
Arc bossed by the man whole work made good
For the man who wins is the man who works.
Who neither labor nor trouble shirks
Who uses his hands. his head. his eyes
The man who wins is the pan who tries

NOIU This IOI Game,
1t Appears, Is in
Near Beer Glass

An argument on the relative gambling
facilities offered by poker and "a hun
dred and one" a Roumanian card game.
took place in city court today when John
Rogers, proprietor of restaurant at 43
South West street, and eight other men
appeared to answer charges Of gambling
and keeping a gambling house.
Two OF the men made a futile attempt
to explain "101" in broken English, but
succeeded only in saying 1t was game
with which you could not camille. Judge
Pro TEN. Reilly replied that If such was
the case it was the only game he ever
heard of with which one could not
gamble.
Officers Higgs and Beasley. who raid
ed the place April ,, testified the men ap-
peared to be playing poker and intro
duced a deck of cards and $135 as evil
dence. In testifying as to the presence
of the money one of the alleged gamblers
said It was the change from a 81 bill
with which he had purchased cigars and
drinks for the crowd. One of his com
panions testified later the money was
change from a 81 bin with which he had
purchased drinks and smokes for the
crowd.
Rogers was fined $40 and costs on
the charge of keeping a gambling house
and four of the men received So and costs
on gambling charges. The other were
discharged
