COUNTY FAIR IN "BIG T0WN'
How New York City Cousin Won the Day Over Boy From the
 Farm.

The country boy had been visiting his city cousin for a week and was about to return to the rural districts, says the New York Sun. The city cousin had shown the country boy all the sights-Broadway and Times square, the parks, the zoo, the subways and about all the other things which the out-of-town boy would be interested in. During the last few days of the stay in the city of the country boy the two were comparing the rural districts and the big town.
 You know" said the city cousin proudly, lone can buy anything In this town that Is grown, manufactured or produced in any part of the world. All you need is the money and some one here will surely have to sell what you want" -.e isaNs -.s:$; spt sss'1''z.:':'+'"
 "Well, there's one thing that you don't have here and can't duplicate that we have" returned the country boy, "and I've missed it while I've been in town"
 "Why. what's that?" asked his cousin, who had tried valiantly to amuse his relative from the country.
 "The county fair" triumphantly an- swered the one from the outlying dis tricts. For a few moments the city cousin was stumped. He didn't answer, while his relative went on to relate the splendors of the fairs. Suddenly he grabbed his country relatives arm and virtually dragged him into subway. A downtown express sped them toward Fourteenth street. Here they alighted and walked up into Union square.
 With a smile of triumph the city cousin led his rural relative into one of the "dime museums" along Four teenth street and said: Here you are! Shooting galleries. calliope music, for tune tellers, pictures of Salome dancers apd everything you want, and 1t only costs cent to try the'

Denies Harding Plans to Call for Army Volunteers

Washington, Aug. 17.-Reports that President Harding is contemplating calling for 5OOO0O volunteers for the regular army in order to protect men willing to take the places of striking railway workers were emphatically denied today by Secretary of War Weeks
 There is not a word of truth in them,' he said"
 Weeks expressed the opinion that the rumors arose from the fact that in response to an inquiry he had re- ceived he asked the judge advocate general of the army for an opinion as to whether the army could be recruit ed up to war time strength in peace times. The judge advocate general replied that under present laws it could not be.
 Under Inls ruling the president would be forced to ask congress for additional authority before making any large increase in the size of the regular army for strike duty.
