the COOPERATIVE Trades and Labor
Councill will be appointed at the next
meeting of the council. Ed. Sims,

NOTICE, DELEGATES

Some of the unions affiliated with
the central body did not have one
delegate there to represent them at
the meeting Tuesday night. What is
the matter? Are these locals too well
educated on unionism? Better have
your delegates at the next meeting,
because some matters of importance
might come before the meeting that
will be of interest to your members.
A large delegation at the next regu-
lar meeting will be interesting as we'll

ment locally. If you are a delegate
from your union, be there.

Everything set and all ready for
the big show" Thus spoke M. D..
Urmston, secretary Of the Butler
county fair board this morning after
shooing away hundred or more ap-
plicants for concessions and privi-
leges, and seeing to it that his assist
ants were caring for others making
hundreds of entries for the big But
ler county fair, which throws open it's
gates to the world on next Tuesday
morning. This will be the seventy
seventh annual event of the occasion
and all indications point to its being
the greatest in the history of the fair
organization.
Secretary Urmston's office in the
court house, which opened Thursday
morning, is without doubt the busiest
place in the whole county these days.
There is a continuous stream of peo-
pie in and out of the office. Conces-
sion men, privilege men, horse, swine,
sheep and cattle men, people seeking
space and making entries, employees,
assistants, etc. The members and
officers Of the fair board have been
working long and diligently that this
years event surpass all and every pre-
vious attempt, and it would seem that
all that is necessary to bring about
such result is good weather.
Exhibits
The exhibits will be of vast and
gigantic proportions and are sure to
prove interesting, instructive and ed
ucating to all-young and old-teach-
ing the progress and products of the
county. A big feature of the fair
again this year will be the boys and
girls work in contests in baking, sew
ing, canning, stock raising and judg-
ing. This feature is growing larger
each year and is doing much for the
growing and enlarging of the big
show. All the departments, fine arts,
fruits, swine, sheep, cattle, horses,
poultry, etc., will be filled to over

STAY AWAY FROM
San DIEGO

The follinw letter is self-explana-
tory:
San Diego, Cal, Sept. 1, 1927.
Dear Sir and Brother:
The boom has busted! San Diego,
California, long heralded as the zone
white spot" is suffering the usual
"day after" effects of an unguided
revel of exploitation.
While offering everything most
desirable to the citizen prepared to
retire on his accumulated income, San
Diego has nothing to offer the worker
in any craft. Hundreds of our crafts
men have been forced to seek employ
ment elsewhere, leaving their homes
vacant and rendering further con-
struction unnecessary.
If you have money to spend for a
vacation, come to San. Diego. If you
need work, stay away from San Diego,
California.
Fraternally,

 Startling in its richness and magnificenee is "The Midnight Sun super-spectacle of St. Peters burg during the 1urid height of it's extravaganza and gaiety before the World War, when court intrigues and wealth gone mad played dice with destiny.
 Laura La Plante as the premier ballerina of the Imperial Opera. is the pretty pawn in the game of treachery in which the Grand Duke of the Russias plays a high hand She had the night in her eyes, the sun upon her lips. and he called her "The Midnight Sun.9
 Lavish sets of enormous propor- tions; beautiful mannikins in the bespangled, bizarre costumes of the Imperial Ballet; soldiers. cadets and dignitaries of the court in their handsome trappingsi corruption and polished stealth in high places; despair and smothered resentment in low places; and through it all love, tender love, fiery love, strong love and love in the agonized throes of suspense-these are vague sug- gestions of the immensity of the drama of "The Midnight Sun" and it's gorgeous frame.
