HUMAN NATURE.

One of woman's important func-
tions in life is to stand by the side of
mere man and at the opportune mo-
menat to observe that no man is a
and never can hope to be aught but
a misplaced logarithm in Natures
calculations.
The philosopher who first directed
public attention to the fact that no
man is hero to his valet, really
meant to observe tina tho man is a
hero to any woman who has lived
with him long enough to get on to his
curves. The stuff about the "valet"
was injected at the suggestion of eau
tion, cowardice or chivalry. Proba-
bly, at the dictate of each.
The greatest man in the world to-
day is wondering, in all likelihood,
how he is going to keep up the bluff
till tomorrow, the obesity belt on the
midriff of his vanity having been
placed there by some female relative
to whom he should be grateful, but
isn't.
The wives of great men seldom
achieve the credit that is their due. If
it were not for their criticism, their
sneers and their jeers, released in the
sheltering shade of the family radia-
tor, the Eminent Gentlemen would
swell up like so many boiled prunes
and presently burst, leaving the world
with no refuge from mediocrity.
All of which indirect, elusive and
subtle sapience is prompted by little
story wired to the newspapers from
the Adirondacks the first day of Pres
ident Coolidge's vacation in the wilds.
He went out on Lake Osgood that
afternoon with Oscar Otis, caretaker
OF the camp, and after trolling around
bit, landed fish with long, morrow
pointed face and disposition not I'M
similar to that of safety razor blade.
Fresh from long experience with
Congress, the President Immediately
recognized the fish as pike. He
hurried back to the cabin where he
displayed his catch and asked Mrs.
Coolidge what she thought of his
prize. She wouldn't believe he had
landed the pike and it took Cal, with
Oscars assistance, five minutes to
wiring half-hearted admission from
her that he might have caught it."
Some of the rest of US, of course.
will keep our eyes open, and if gen.
tleman by the name of Oscar Otis is
appointed ambassador to Turkey next
winter, or American consul in some
continental city, We'll know what oc
Cured the other day up on Lake Os-
good.
That, however, is beside the point.
1t was Mrs. Coolidge's attitude that's
so beautifully normal. A man achieves
the Presidency of the United States
and his wife takes it for granted. He
goes on vacation, rows out on lake
and comes back with little, narrow
faced pike dangling on the end of a
string--and she doubts his story. Oh.
hum! Just like woman!

Secretary of the Garrett County Ag-
ricultural Fair Association
The management of the Garrett
County Agricultural Fair Association
is putting forth every effort to make
the 1926 Fair the greatest Fair in the
history of the Association.
We have just received letter from
Smiths Greater United Shows that
they will be here with a good show.
Then the Assertions free act of
ponies, dogs and the onery mule will
bring amusement to all.
The first day, September 2Sth, will
be known as 'Fraternal Day. The pro-
gram for this day will be under the
direction of the local lodge Knights of
Pythias. This organization never does
things by halves. The name alone
spells success.
The second day, September goth, is
School Day, when the school popula-
ton of the county will attend in
great big body. The program for this
day will be under the management of
Prof. F. E. Rathbun, County Superin-
tendent of Schools, his high school
principals and techers throughout
the county. This will probably be the
greatest school day Garrett county
has ever experienced.
The third day, September 30th, is
Garrett County Day. This is the.day
that every Garrett countian should at
tend and make it a great home-com-
ing time. The program for the day
will be under the direction of Mr.. w.
Clayton Jester, County Agent, assist
ed by Messrs. William Tarbell, Owen
T. eraser, Roger Whiteford and John
H. Garter, the agricultural teachers in
the various high schools of the county.
They are going to give us something
great. These highly intelligent men
are going to put over something
which will make Garrett county fam
Gus.
The fourth day, October /, is Ma
tional Day. Here is day we cannot
afford to miss. There will be some
thing. started that day which will ap-
peal to every citizen of the county.
The program for this day is under the
management of the American Legion
of Oakland. The mere mention of the
program committee should elicit the
support of every American citizen of
the county.
Four full days, big with amuse-
ments of all kinds and something
worth while. The whole program has
been planned along educational lines.
Every day will be different. The
first will be as good as the last. The
last will be as good as the second and
the third will be as good as the first.
Mr.. Citizen, you cannot afford to
miss any of these programs. Begin
now to plan to attend. Bring some
thing to show your neighbor.
Daily programs will be published
later, giving full details of the move
ments of each day.

The total pack thus far has been ap-
