ORANGES MAKE BIC EXHIBITS
 AT BROOKLYN'S 73rd FAIR

Broons> -onn., Sept. zo.-They were all here today, from every town and every hamlet in Windham county, and, by the same token, from various other counties and countless communities.
 This, of course, was brought about by the annual exhibition of the Windham County Agricultural society-the Brook lyn fair, and one who looked carefully at his ticket, especially if it happened to be an Annie Oakley as was the case with the writer would note that it was the 73rd annual fair, though no mention was made thereon that the agricultural society dates back over 100 years and is the oldest organization of the kind in the United States
 There were some old timers on the grounds who have seen fairs there since before the Civil war and still others so aged and enthusiastic as. to almost con vince one that they were at the original meeting incorporating the society, but these veterans were in the minority when one considers that the days at tendance ran into the thousands includ- ! ing several hundred fakirs. more or less, and that the old timers were fairly sub merged in a sea of automobiles and the early fall styles displayed by women
  as they strolled by dolled up in their fringed capes and advance modes in l hats. Nothing like that ever came off 1 the farms in the good old days. But ! times change, as do the styles, and this l generation has no time to worry, much 1 less speculate, over the why and where fores of any given situation.
 l The Brooklyn fair is good this year. It isn't any better as an agricultural show than 1t has been for years past; in 1 fact, it isn't as good in some respects, for there are certain llandicaps now that never bothered the management In other 1 days. For instance. the fair secretary { twenty years ago never knew of there being fall down In the cattle show end of the fair because of, or lack of, i tuberculln testing of cattle. It's all diff i ferent now. Owners of tested and tu- 1 bercular free herds are not inclined to | take any chances on ningling their cat tie with untested cows, so the aristocrats of Windham county's herds were con spicuous by their absence Wednesday The effect of this was not so much a detraction from the splendid animals shown, as that it kept away many other fine animals that might have beer shown and thereby have given a more accurate impression of what really is be- ing done in Windham county, along dairy lines. One can no longer judge by what is seen in cattle shows at county fairs of what the county farmers are doing. and this is too bad for the fairs 4offer the one opportunity of the year fol l much of the educational propaganda

that farmers associations put out from time to time in their own interest and in the interest of the primal industry as whole. It, apparently, would be better if this be necessary to have a nice ex- elusive corner somewhere on the grounds where all the tested cattle could be shown by themselves with a guarantee of immunity from such contamination as might result from association, even for a day, with untested herds or individual animals.
 Brooklyn fair needs only a revival of it's cattle show to put 1t far ahead of any status it has heretofore occupied as count exhibition.
 It was evident very early today that Brooklyn fair was coming close to matching, if not exceeding, previous at tendance records Cars began to roll through the main entrance gates soon after o'clock, daylight saving 4ime (we hope the standard timers forever will forgive us for this) and by noon they had arrived in such numbers as to indicate cleanup financially for the fair associ- ation, than which none is more deserving.
 It may be remarked in passing that the traffic was handled with the highest efficiency by the state police officers who were doing traffic duty, assisted by COn- stables on duty for the day.
 The midway today was the Ereates st ever at the Brooklyn fair It extended from the main entrance down to the cattle sheds midway of the ground and along the north fence from the main entrance well toward the race track

HANDICAP NO OBSTACLE
Missouri Rural Mail Carrier Born
Without Legs Makes Great Success

IAssociated Press Dispatch,l
Washington, d. c., December "a
Natural handioaps ara no obstacle to
many people and the most shining
example is that of B. A. Jones OF
Burlington, Mo-, who, born without
legs, has driven a rural mail delivery
route out of that town for twenty
years and never complained.
Jones route was standard length
one of 25.5 miles out OF Burlington.
and since 1901. when he was ap-
pointed, he has missed only -FOUR
days from the job, and those because
of illness.
So interested were post Office de-
partment officials, who only recently
had his case called 10 their attention,
that Assistant Postmaster General
Billany wrote him letter of con-
graduation for his efficient service
performed in spite Of a physical
defect that well might have discour-
aged q person Of less fortunate tenn
permanent, and with less determina-
ton to succeed in life" Before be-
coming letter carrier, jones was a
farmer.

wrote Mr.. JONES'" that your success
may be not only interesting to all
carriers, but an inspiration to any
one who may feel that he is labor

, GOOD WORK RANGERS

Laborers of Federal Men In North
Woods Has Not Been In Vain
Ely, MINI, December 24.--The
work of the United States forestry
department in sending rangers
through the Superior National for
est to post notices warning canoe
lists and campers against careless
ness in handling camp fires has not
been in vain, according to Calvin A.
Dahlgren, supervisor.
Rangers reports show that of the
estimated 10000 fires built during
the recent summer season only seven
were permitted to spread and cause
forest fires. But, figures announced
by Supervisor Dahlgren today show
that these seven fires constituted II
per cent Of the fires discovered in
the Superior National last summer.
"The sentiment and attitude of the
ssia rs i SSGnssanty i,n n
ago we could have expected that
enough of these 10000 camp fires
would have been left burning 70
cause confiagration And the four
ist> does not receive all the blame
now days. Investigations have
shown that the percentage Of camp
fires left by the, out. of state trav.
elers is no greater than the per-
centage left by Minnesotans."
The Superior National forest was
visited by people from thirty one
states and four foreign countries, the
official registry shows.
Some 1000 visitors to the north
state playground came by automobile.
Supervisor Dahlgren considers this
only one automobile road through the
forest, the Ely Finland road, and
only three main points of entrance
to the forest accessible by autos;
namely, Grand Marais, Ely and
Buyck.
