The state fair dates have again been set for
the week commencing the last Monday in August
the 18th of the month. To hold the state fair at
that time is unjust to many counties in the state
For the southern ones because the rush of work
just then prevents a great many from attending
who otherwise would with pleasure and profit to
themselves. The upper counties are handicapped
as they are prevented from making creditable
county exhibits owing to the fact of their growing
season being later and but few crops are harvested
or matured enough to make such showing as
they do few weeks later. In one respect, it is
benefit as before the change Of state fair dates
there was strong tendency to handicap the success
OF the northern county fairs by holding them in
time to take an exhibit from them to Milwaukee
No county in upper Wisconsin should attempt to
hold it's annual fair before the second or third
week in September, and not many of them will
now sacrifice the success Of the home show for
the sake of taking mediocre exhibit to the state
fair That does not alter the fact that as taxpay-
ers who support the Milwaukee exposition, they
are entitled to dates that would permit their TAX
ing finished exhibit there if they wished

Yesterday February 9th, one OF some IN
terest to us in that it was our fftieth birthday.
Having lived that long in the state, we can With
some certainty begin to say that we are one OF
the old residents Briggs the cartoonist, frequent
ly takes for subject: what a Baby Thinks
About" or any other phase in the life Of human
being that strikes his fancy. We believe that any
man on attaining his half-century anniversary
thinks of many things. He thinks of the earlier
birthdays marked in memory by the watch, gun,
dog or any other article of serious moment to
young and uniformed mind, presented by some low
ing parent or relative, perhaps OF the birthday
party at which the playInates OF the period were
present. He thinks of the various fortunes or mis-
fortunes that have since befallen those early day
friends and of how many are still travelling along
life's highway. In boys case, at least the birth
days from ten to twenty go by swiftly. He studies
some works some learns to shave, dance, use to-.
bacco and if he does not learn a few worse habits
by the time he is ready to VOTE he is exception
Personally, we believe that he does not learn
many things that are detrimental to him IN the
intercourse that he is shortly to begin with the
world and mankind. At tWenty-one when he ar
rives at the legal age of man, and the commence
ment Of making his own career, the world and the
future look full of promise At that age, the hold
backs and drawbacks that will later prove things
harder to accomplish than they look, are Tar IN
the background, so far that no attention is given
them and it is better so. If every man at twenty
one could positively see what the next thirty years
of struggle would do for him, good many would
give up the attempt right there.
Fifty years have their compensations though.
Regret, as we do never having been president,
nor becoming millionaire, or any of those desir-
able positions, still looking back down the road
and all around us we find many who have not done
better which takes away some of the humiliation
that we would otherwise feel at fifty.
Far more than money acquisition, value the
friendships made and still existing with many
men and women who have been able to see the
best in in preference to our worst side. In the
years that are past there have been good many
of them and we appreciate them than they
perhaps know At fifty don't have many illus
ions about the future but, nevertheless we look
forward to the next cycle Of time with the hope
that it will average up with the past and it will
probably use well as we deserve.

EBB AND FLOW

EBB AND FLOW
Everything is lovely when the tide is running
high,
When you've friends and money plenty and no
grief to bring sigh,
Then the world is full of gladness and you're
truly glad to live,
And there's not pleasure offered but you have
the price to give.
Then the world is full of flowers, and your path
with roses spread,
All your thoughts for the living, for to you
there's nothing dead;
But the tide is ever changing, there must be
ebb and flow,
Be prepared to meet the changes when the tide is
running low.
When your hand has lost it's cunning, and your
words have lost their charm
Many things you thought pleasures brought
you only pain and harm,
And the friends who docked about you not very
long ago.
Have deserted left you stranded, cause the tide
running low.

BUSINESS WILL PICK UP
SAYS RESERVE BOARD.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 25-
A business lull following
Christmas for week or SO, will
be followed by a general picking
up in industrial speed all over the
country, officials of the Federal
Reserve Board said today.
Business has gained substan-
tial momentum from stacks of
untitled orders on file with lead
ing manufacturers and pro-
ducers. Many industries are
held back by inability to get
transportation of ordered goods.
An improvement in car capacity
on the railroads. expected within
sixty days, will give business q
remarkable impetus, officials said.

MARK TWAIN's SENSITIVE EAR
5ioorapher Records Fact That Certain
Sounds Would Drive Humorist to
Border Of Distraction.

: Mark Twain passed middle life
without music meaning more to him
than a pretty tune or a prodigious
performance, rather remarkable fact
when one considers what an artist
the man was In his own field. If Mark
Twain had been stone deaf the fact
might have been less remarkable, but
we have already noted that he could
play the piano sufficiently well by ear
to provide his own Accomplishments
for the negro spirituals, and 1t is Of
further record that he was man so
singularly sensitive to certain sounds
that they sometimes drove him to the
borders of hysteria. Mr.. Paine has
touched slightly on this peculiarity,
but 1t was actually more serious con-
sideration In estimating the humor-
lists life than the authorized biog-
raphy would lead one to believe. He
relates the incident Of the clocks in
the home Of Thomas Mast, the car
toonist, when Twain and George w.
Cable, in the course Of q reading tour,
lodged for the night with the Mast
family. But that was not the only
time that the ticking Of clock SO
tortured Twain's nerves that he took
high-handed means to silence IT.

Ralph Holmes, In the Century.

The king Of Spain Is believed to
have displayed stroke Of genius by
calling on the women Of Spain to take
the riaces Of the striking postmen, the
Woman's Weekly remarks. The post
Office strike has caused great confu-
sion in transportation and delivery Of
the malls and much sabotage was In
dulged in. The women Of Spain, who
have received probably fewer priv
ileges than In any other European
country, responded with enthusiasm,
Thousands entering the service, and
they soon showed efficiency and gave
satisfaction. The move proved popu-
lar with the people Of every class,
since It added to the number of bread
winners Of the country. So success
ful has the experiment proved and
SO willing have the men been to stop
work and 90 on strike, that there is
talk Of applying the plan to other de-
pnrtments Of the government.

NOT Due 70 CIVILIZATION
Investigator Denies That ealdnssl
Comes as Result OF Habits Of
Modern Man.


Shedding the hair Of the head Is
part Of the present evolution Of civil
lied humanity, claims DR.. Ales
Hrdlicka, of the Smithsonian institu-
tion, who has made an extensive an
thropological study of Americans
whose ancestors have lived at least
three generations on this continent.
1t would be wrong to blame the re-
duced vitality shown by the hair on
any particular habits of civilized man
or on disease conditions.
These may play part, he says, but
the real cause Is hereditary. The hair
tends toward an earlier senility and
loss because 1t has become of less use
tc man living under modern condi-
tions than 1t was in the past. Nature
does not tolerate for long what has
become useless or weakened.
It is the men who are getting bald,
he finds. Women lose hair. too. he
says. but not nearly SO rapidly as the
males. He is sure the women, do not
mislead him, as all Of them were ex-
amined with their hair undone and
freely hanging down. Although Doctor
Hrdlicka explains the predisposition
to badness among males to inherit
ance. he adds words Of woe to the
fiapper by explaining that the reason
women have longer-clinging hair is
that possibly the weight Of the fe-
male hair acts as tonic."-Science
