Tn. cOlOred County Fair.

The United Farmers Organization,
cooperating with the Charles County
Fair, Inc, recently held one Of the
| best fairs conducted In Southern
MARYLAND. The colored farmers and
homemakers should feel justly PROUD
Of the variety and quality OF the ex
hibits, and should be more encouraged
to prepare for larger and even bet
ter exhibit another year.
The Fair began with parade, mar.
shalled by Mr.. Henry Hemsley, and
was in all respects beautiful and In
teresting parrde. Mr.. George John
son, of La Plata, won first prize fol
decorated car, and Mr.. Carter, of Be-
Alton, won second prize.
Mr.. George Hall, as Chief Marshal,
conducted an exciting tournament in
the afternoon.
The All clubs were well represented
with exhibits in poultry, clothing, can
ming and food products.
Under direction of Mrs. Lumpkins,
instructor OF domestic science, Pomon-
key High School sent in a blue ribbon
exhibit. The hope is that another year
will find more of the public schools
exhibiting.
The Women's Clubs and demonstra-
tors throughout the county contrib
uted largely toward the success OF the
Women's department.
Behind the success of the fair was
the concentrated effort directed by the
President, Mr.. John F. Dorsey, OF the
United Farmers Organization. With
out his unt!ring efforts, supported by
the superintendent OF departments,
the fair could not have succeeded.
The committee in charge Of colored
fair wish to express their appreciation
to the Charles County Fair, Inc. for
this opportunity to let the county know
what the colored farmers and their
wives are doing.
The Extension Service OF the Uni
versity of MARYLAND was represented
bv Mr.. j. Conover and Miss Kather-
inc Baker, who served as judges.

daylight Signals Cross Continent

amateur radio signals have been
transmitted across the continent IN
daylight Ernest Hobbs. operator OF
station 2ADM in Schenectady, y. T.,
-cportS that he recently received
messages on amateur wave lengths
from stations 6&AD, owned and ,op-
.rated by Lawrence Mott OF Catalina
ISLAND, soon after sunrise.
The two amateurs had been con
-nrsing with each other by radio tel
graph as they had been accustomed
20 do short time before daybreak
ana ii was not until the times OF
"hrcked up that Hobbs realized the
-l.li Significance of the feat. OF
course. the three hours difference OF
tjne was taken into consideration.
For six months amateurs conVe-
1.icntly situated across the couhtr!
ilaVe endeavored to relay message
rom ocean to ocean in daylight. AT
ono time six stations worked on sche-
t.ulc. Always as soon as the sun ap-
7,eared the signals began to fade
'Fhe failure OF this relay makes the
1iual success the more remarkable.
Both operators used the regular
Nvave length of their station, 2ADM
transmitting on 195 meters and 6NAD
on $50 meters. Their ability to con-
verse with one another under day
light conditions was a total sur
prise to both as at the time 10 def
mite tests were being carried out 1t
W2H' just - lTleiiuls CONVEX Sitioi4'
The original tests which were
prompted and supervised by the tech
,ical department of the American
Radio Relay League indicate that the
J.saI daylight conditions follow about
ninety minutes after sunrise-eXcept
on cloudy days when the signals do
not fade out completely until some
times 120 minutes after.
"On ordinary days" says 5. kruse,
technical editor of QST. "the very
hest west coast signals are received
about nineteen minutes after the sun
;rets clear of the horizon, although
this may be delayed twenty minutes
on a cloudy day. After that the sig
pals begin to die down slowly and at

The race meet of the 1923 fair was
particularly attractive and was large
ly instrumental in drawing the banner
attendance which came from long dis
tances to witness the best bunch of
horses that were ever gathered in this

these events while $3,480O0 was ex-

DR.. Lochead Gives Splendid
Talk

/ of Giptheria or tetanus. He dealt
forcefully with all the various diseases
conveyed from one to another through
mouth infection and gave some of the
precautions that should be taken in
every day life to prevent such infec-
ton. He spoke briefly on Pasteur and
his wonderful discovery of the treat
ment for rabies and when this treat
ment should be administered.
The speaker spoke briefly also upon
the dread diseases, cancer and tuber-
culosis, stating emphatically that they
are not hereditary and may be sue
cessfully combatted if taken early and
fought intelligently. The State Pub
lie Health Association, realizing that
education is the answer to practically
all questions of health, and that edu-
cation must be done through the
agency of children, has made and is
making, through the Health Crusade,
its little monthly Health Journal, etc,
every effort to educate the children
and to encourage them both in health
habits for themselves and the carry
ing of the health work into their own
homes. The Christmas Health Seal
is another great educator.
DR.. Lochead spoke finally of the
tremendous loss to the nation caused
by the death of children under one
year of age, and of the mortality of
mothers in childbirth. Figures given
on the death rates in these two cases
were appalling, DR.. Lochead stating
that in the United States alone six
hundred children under one year OF
age die every day. While the average
of mothers who die is not so great
it is sufficiently terrible to give every
thoughtful person pause. A short
talk on the drug habit closed DR..
Lochead's talk.
Any of the information which DR..
Lochead gave and quantities more
that is just as important may be OBJ
tanned from the State Public Health
Association which is maintained by
the state for the securing of better
health among the citizens Of the state
With the Association prepared and
willing to help, there is no reason
why any individual nor any commun-
ity should be ignorant of the neces-
sary health precautions.
