Jazz HITS COUNTY FAIR

In most respects the Kentucky
county fair of the present day is a
distinct metamorphosis of the old
time institution that was eagerly
looked forward to as the principal
YEARLY event of its locality. Now
the county fair has to take on a
more jazzy character as public at
traction, that would have been
secuted a score Of years ago.
Then the county fair was first and
foremost a fine stock show, horti-
cultural and agricultural exhibit
and a display of woman's handi-
work and culinary achievements.
Some of the fairs of that day put on
? racing card to draw the sportively
inclined. but the show rings and
competition in other exhibits were
the principal attractions that drew
the people from every section Of the
county.
Now a county fair that makes
any pretentions to being progressive
must put on a hazardous feat or two
and provide noisy carnival attrac-
tions. beside often permitting the
operation of all sorts of devices to
separate the unweary from their
money. Without such attractions
most county fairs would be consid-
cred obsolete and out Of date.
The old-time social feature also is

and the reunion nature of the event
no longer appeals as it did when
neraly everybody that went to the
fair wore linen buster and reveled

required by modern demands, but it
has been at the expense of good fell
lowship and interest in those things
for which the county fair was orig
mated.

Buying on a large scale led to an
unexpected advance in wheat prices
totay after a moderate decline due to
signing of the armistice with the
Turks. The market closed unsettled
&C. to. II net higher with December
1882 to 1883 and May 11Oi to 1909.
Corn finished J to s@2 UP, oats at a
shade off TO- gain. and provisions
down Is to 32c.
Most of the heavy buying of wheat
but whether his purchases were to
cover previous sales or were in the
nature of an investment remained an
open question. - Boarish effects of the
stoppage of hostilites in the Near
East failed to extend beyond the first
30 minutes of trading in the wheat
pit. Then buying of such volume set
in as to encourage the speculative
rank and file to take to the bull side,
and there were assertions in some
quarters that peace was to be regard
ed as an aid to an advance rather than
the reverse.
The strong upward movement of
wheat prices continued until the last
hour Of the board Of trade session.
Something Of a reaction which took
to be brought about chiefly through
profit taking on the part Of early buy
ers. Seaport competition for quick
shipments was more or less of factor
In helping to stimulate bullish senti-
ment. and so. too. was good milling de-
mand both southwest and northwest.
A. good deal Of notice was taken also
of bullish estimates of the worlds
available supply.
Corn and oats paralleled the. action
OF wheat. Exporters were bidding
fancy premiums for corn in nearby po-
sitions.
Provisions were lower in line with
hogs here and with lard at Liverpool.

The savings of the people.
Statisticians tell US that during
the year 1922 more than one bill
lion dollars will have been utilized
in the erection Of homes for our
people, a considerable portion of
which represents new home-owner-
ship. 1t is splendid commentary
on the rightful tendencies in Amer
lean life. 1t shows right thinking
and right living.
In 1920 there were 1,400, 900
home owners in the United States,
and this number has been greatly
increased during the intervening
two years. 1t would probably be
safe to estimate that there are 49,
100000 home-owners in the United
States today.
A nation which spends more
than a billion dollars a year for
new homes and which numbers
100000 home-owners among its
population, offers scant comfort
for the alarmist, the Bolshevist
or the pessimist.
I, In many ways we, as a people,
are unmindful Of the values that
come from thrift, but the funda-
mentals are sound and no better
proof Of this can be found than in
the extent Of home-ownership in
America and the rapid develop
raent Of this phase Of our national
life,

which are growing every month.
American cattle men have secured
numerous concessions from the MeXi-
can government whereby animals
may be brought into Mexico with a
minimum of difficulty. Inspection
regulations have been relaxed as
much as possible, and the railroads
are making serious efforts to move
stock trains on express schedule.
Strange as it may seem. Argentina
cattle can be shipped to Mexico City
cheaper than can animals from south
Texas. although the former stock
does not compare in quality with that
from the United States. Cattle
shipments from all foreign countries
to Mexico during 1921 were more than
10000 head. Of which 100000 came
, from south Texas.

mark win be passed in car loadings
during october. They believe that the
present month will eventually better
the previous record.
Reports on the number Of cars load
ed weekly are studied closely by off,
cihls and business men as a barometer
Of business conditions.
Early in 1922. the number OF cars
loaded per week ranged as low as 700.-
600. In February and March. shippers
began to increase their freight offer
ings and the weekly loading report
passed to 100000 cars. Then the coal
strike began and car loadings slumpcd
again almost over night, falling off to
less than 100000 Recovery developed
as the non-union mines went into full
operation. Loadngs passed the $780,
000-car mark until the shipments walk
out occurred.
During July an average Of approx
mately 100000 cars were loaded each
week. In August the average increased
to 100000 cars. At this rate OF increase,
an average of 900, 1000 cars a week in
September would amount to 1000, 900
cars in October.
