Grant County Fair
Association

A meeting of the Grant County Fair
Association was held at Nepell, March
18th. County Agent Chase and Supt.
Sargent were present, and materially
assisted in the business of the evening.
There was good attendance, and the
sentiment is strong for bigger and
better Fair this year, representative
of every section of Grant county.
The Fair of 1928 was planned and
put or in about 80 days. SO there was
little time to put the association on a
solid working basis, and effectively
reach all parts of Grant County.
The association believes that the first
and most important duty before it now
is to aid in its membership from every
part of the county. The following
quotations from the Constitution and
Bylaws adopted Tuesday evening will
perhaps best express the attitude of all
connected with the Fair.
Constitution Article 2. The execu-
tive authority of the Grant County
Fair Association shall be vested in 8
board of trustees. Two trustees from
each of the three road districts in the
county, shall be elected from the mem
bership at the annual meeting; trus-
e-at-large shall be selected by the
Board of County Commissioners an
ually from their own number or other
wise. This Board of seven trustees
shall subdivide the county ints schoa
or community center districts, or as
they may deem best to further the in
terests of the fair, and appoint work
ing. committees in each subdivision.

'sWhen a Teller
Needs a Friend

You could hear the same sentiment
expressed on all sides as you came out
of the theatre last Friday night, after
seeing When Teller Needs Friend
"Its the best thing the Juniors have
put on" The story centered around
three young men.who were trying to
make their living by writing. The
three acts were staged in one set, q
room in New York apartment house
where they had there struggle for ex-
istance. Beulah Hiday as the emotion
al widow, keeper of the apartment
house, probably contributed the most
to the play in the way of acting, for
she seemed to possess an Unborn trend
of comedy. Ida Struntz as her "good
for nothing darter' caused many q
thrill by her quick wit. Those were
perhaps the most comic characters.
The other players; Carl Lee, Hollis
Rlmmell, Lloyd Mitchell, Earl Hol-
brook, Sadie DIN, Emily O'Neil, Thel-
ma Pugh and Pat Gilbert were all let
ter perfect and showed poise and ease
throughout. 1t was play in which
the bachelors. cooks. old maids, house
maids and all became hopelessly senti-
mental and when the final curtain falls
there is not corner Of privacy for the
last couple that decide to hunt up a
Justice of the Peace. All enjoyed the
play, not to mention their absolute
fall" for Pat Gilbert, the chef who
did his acting in pair of trousers
about five sizes too large.
BstWeen-act attractions were piano
solo by Miss Vogel and two vocal solos
"My Own Door" and kiss Ne Again"
oyiMiss Gladys Box which were heart
.ly, appreciated.
The play was coached by Miss Vogel
and the final makeup was in the hands
Of Miss Alene DeBolt. Credit is due
both ladies', especially Miss Vogel for
her untirlng effort through several
weeks of practice.

The Man Who Has Won

I want to walk by the side OF the man
who has suffered and seen ana
knows,
Who has measured his place on the
battle-line and given and taken
the blows,
Who has never whined when the
scheme went wrong nor scoffed
at the failing plan
But taken his dose with heart OF
trust and the faith of gentle
man;
Who has parried and struck and
sought and given and Scared
with thousand spears
Can lift his head to the stars of heaven
and isn't ashamed of his tears.
l want to grasp the hand of the man
who has been through it all and
seen,
Who has walked with the night OF an
unseen dread and stuck to the
world machine,
Who has beaten his breast to the
winds of dawn and thirsted and
starved and felt
The sting an the bite of the bitter
blast that the mouths of the foul
ed have dealt;
Who has tempted and fell and rose
again, and gone on trusty and
true,
With God supreme in his manly heart,
and his courage burning anew.
I'd give my all-be it great or small
Ito walk by his side today,
To stand up there with the man who
has known the bite of the burning
fray,
Who has gritted his teeth and clench-
ed his fist, and gone on doing his
best
Because of the love for his fellowmen
and the faith in his manly breast,
For the man who has fought and
struggled and won is the man
who can make men strong.-An-
onymous.

eagle measuring eight feet from tip
to tip picked up 14-year-old Fred Gun
ngham, weighing ninety-seven pounds,
on a golf course near here last night,
lifted him five feet in the air and
then dropped him when his clothing
gave way, according to the story told
by the lad today" 1t is further said
that young Cunningham, though claw
ed and scratched, managed to get
the bird in wire fence where it was
killed by a citizen"
These eagle-boy stories are not as
common as they used to be. There.
are not so many eagles, and it may
be that boys are more careful. Per-
haps there may be some authentic ac-
count of an eagle carrying off hoy
or sheep which would satisfy the
scientists, but nearly every eagle-boy
and eagle-sheep story that has been
well inquired into has blown up. The
eagle, the great American eagle, the
bald-headed eagle, is not so much of
bandit and kidnaper as he has been
described. He would rather catch
fish than boy, and he prefers fish
to mutton. He is fishing bird, and
a man can often see an American
eagle over the Potomac river and the
woods along our streams. None of
these eagles has ever carried off a
boy, not even bad boy. Other dread
full facts may befall bad boys, but the
eagle keeps his talons off. The eagle

Why Worry?

American Legion Weekly: Twenty
years seems an eternity, measured in
the slow passing of the days, so why
should any service man be in a hurry
to send in his Federal adjusted com.
pensation application when he won't
receive payment until 1915?
We're all going to be alive in 1915,
of course. Plenty of time to fill out
that blank and send it in.
But in Little Rock, Ark, a few
weeks ago, Legionnaire Faulkner was
killed in an automobile accident. He
left young widow and two small
children. He had not forwarded to
the government his application for
adjusted compensation, although he
was entitled under the law to more
than $1,000 of paidup insurance. Had
his application been mailed his widow
would receive that amount in lump
sum. Now his widow will receive
only $625, which will be paid to her
over period of two and one-halt
years.
Shortly after the burial services for
Faulkner, Rudolph Lavicka, legion
naire of Hazen, Ark, was drowned in
an effort to save young woman COM
panion. Lavicka served more than
two years in the marine corps and
he, too, or his beneficiary, was entitled
to more than $1,000 in paidup insur-
ance under the adjusted compensation
law. But his application had not
been made out. He left widowed
mother in Europe who was dependent
on him for her support. She will re-
ceive $625 in ten installments.

Between February and August Of
last year the sun had a minimum
of spots, Professor George H. Peters
of the United States Naval Obser-
vatory here has observed. The num-
Der Of spots now is increasing and
will increase for a number of years.
The sun spot cycle occurs every Ill
years, says Professor Peters, and has
just passed the minimum, with the
next minimum in prospect for 1884.
For a number of days during the
middle of 1928 no spots were seen
on the suns disc. Just where the
zero point for sun spots is gives rise
to difference of opinion.
During the period of sunspot
maxima the intensity of the north
ern lights in the lower attitudes, gives
evidence of intense of intense magne-
tic conditions. Some spots do not
produce marked northern lights while
others do. Just which spots cause
probable increase in the rainbow

Professor Peters is working on now.

Thirteen Rules
for Rearing
Happy Children
From Golfers Weekly.

There's right way and a wrong
way to rear children. Study the fol-
lowing suggestions and learn the
right way. They were formulated by
an authority who understands young
people-Dr. Jessie Taft, who is in
charge of child study for the Chill
dren's Aid society and the children's
bureau of Pennsylvania.
l. Remember that the child who
is really happy and active and inter-
ested all the day long, the child who
is genuinely loved and approved of,
who has companions and interesting
work and play, who gets satisfying
food and enough sleep, whose physical
handicaps are corrected seldom, if
ever, develops or retains serious bad
habits.
2. Have thorough physical exam
ination, to be sure that there are no
causal factors here.
3. See that the physical hygiene
is all it should be; that the child has
the right food, sleep, fresh air, play,
clothing, etc.
/ 4. Have a mental examination, if
possible, to determine the child's ma
tive intelligence.
! 5. Get the right attitude yourself.
See that the child gets no sense of
condemnation or inferiority from
you.
! 6. Do nothing to fix attention on
the habit or put the child under emo
tiOnal strain regarding it. If you
talk, talk in a matter-of- fact way and
add to his information regarding the
physiology involved.
Z. Realize that cure is indirect.
Don't rely on fear, punishment, or re-
wards. Try to find out why the child
is not developing. Seek for causes
of dissatisfaction or lack of outlet in
the environment.
8. Be alert and ready to alter en-
vironment instead of trying to alter
the child.
8. Never use punishments which
mean that the child has long pei iods
of inactivity in which to day-dream
or seek pleasure in his own body.
Never send the child to bed in the
daytime.
10. Emphasize outdoor play, con-
structive play with blocks, tools,
UoASl>e odllu SIOup pay, VI SdIilHSu
play. Develop interest in the child's
own gardens, chickens, or other pro-
ject which he manages himself and
from which he gets returns.
IL. Visit his school, see if some
thing is wrong there, engage the
teachers sympathetic interest, but
don't "tell on the child" unless the
teacher is an unusual person.
II. Never talk over the child's
habits or faults with others in his
hearing. Never use them to humili-
ate him before other children or
grownups. Treat him with the same
consideration you would show for the
feelings of an adult.
13. Last, and most important,
don't stop loving the child or, if you
can't love him, realize that he is vital
ly handicapped until someone does
love him, and make allowances.
The first rule covers prevention;
the rest may be classified as treat
ment.

Who Helped America
Editorial in the New York
Times,


Times.
The great services of John Erics-
son to his adopted country have not
lacked appreciation, but the measure
/ of his fame as an engineer is only
now being appropriately recognized
Recently a tablet to his memory at
/ 95 Franklin street, the site of the
house in which he lived when design
| ing the Monitor, was unveiled. The
flag used in the ceremony was flown
upon the turreted ironclad in her bat
tie with the Merrimac, and it covered
the inventors body when the U. S. S.
Baltimore conveyed it to Sweden for
burial.
Near the Lincoln Memorial on the
Mall in Washington there will be an
other unwilling of tribute to Elics-
son in the coming year, the work Of
the sculptor James E. Fraser. At the
Engineering Societies building in New
York this winter a collection of in
ventions and relics associated with
John Ericsson will be shown. Later
they are to form the nucleus of SINH
lar exhibits in the new National Iu-
scum of Engineering and Industry,
to be built under the auspices of the
Smithsonian institution.
At the next election for a place iii
the Hall of Fame the name of John
Ericsson will be proposed.
The versatility of Ericsson was 50
remarkable that he has been called
''the greatest engineer that Europe
ever bestowed upon America" At
in his native village his bent was
shown by the making of miniature
pump, sawmill and a set of drawing
instruments with no other tools than
a jack-knife and gimlet.
At an early age he is found in
Havre studying the design and con-
struction of ships, very much inter
ested in the original screw propeller
Moving to England, he occupied him.
self with mining machinery, inventing
an air compressor for pumping. He
patented centrifugal blower He
built the, first steam fire engine, but
London preferred pumping by hand.
In competition with Stephenson he
constructed the Novelty, locomotive
which bettered the time of Stephen
sons Rocket by eight miles an hour.
To make list of Ericsson's inventions
would fill many pages. He was az
original, never having had technical
education.
William Conant Church, his bio
grapher, has said of him that as a
pathmaker, whose energy never knew
the clock or day from night, he some
times made wrong turning. But he
wasted no time upon his mistake
driven on by new ideas and scoring
new triumphs. No one did more for
the development of the steamship pro-
peller than Ericsson.
The designing of steam engines was
hobby with him. Coming to New
York in 1889, he won prize from
the Mechanics institute for fire en-
CINE. A steam canal barge, named
after him, revolutionized that kind Of
transportation. The Ericsson pro-
peller for steamships was being used
for forty-two vessels on American and
Canadian waters in 1S43. He was
commissioned to apply the idea to a
naval vessel, and turned cut the L..
S. S. Princeton.
