AUTOMOBILE DAY TO END
ELEVENTH ANNUAL FAIR
Fair Has Been In Progress Since
Tuesday Morning-CrOwds
Only Mediocre In Number

Tonight and tomorrow, "Automo-
bile and Community Sales Day." will
close the Eleventh Annual Garrett
County Fair, which has been in prog
ress since Tuesday morning.
An increase in grain exhibits was
noted, while there was a shortage on
apples, corn, pumpkins, cattle and
horses. Other exhibits seemed to be
as numerous as in other years. With
fair but cool weather, the Eleventh
Annual exhibit has not attracted as
many people as in some years past,
but the second and third days have
had an average attendance at the Fair
Grounds, just west of town.
Parades a Feature.
Notwithstanding the mediocre at
tendance, the parades have been the
largest and best this year than they
have ever been. Each day brings
something new and unique in floats
and it is expected that tomorrow, the
last day of the Fair, will further in
crease the number of new ideas for
parades.
Crellin won the prize of S. in the
school parade on Wednesday for hav-
ing the best float, and Swan Meadow
was second, winning a prize of So.
Winners in the Farmers Day parade
have not yet been named, according to
j. L. McGlone, county agent.
When plans were discussed for four
big parades-one for each day of the
Fair, it was thought that it would be
impossible to make them all impress
sive enough and therefore there
should be but one large parade.
The outcome of the three parades
to date, however, shows rather con-
clusively that there can be big
parade each day of the Fair.
The business men, on the first day,
had more than sixty floats in line
which extended for more than half
mile. The school parade the next day
was equally as long and impressive.
The farmers parade this morning was
also proof that the farmers were de-
termined to make their day as much
talked of as the other two, and had
many original and comic floats in line.
Many Free Attractions.
The free acts which are held daily
and nightly, and the fireworks alone
have been said by many to be worth
much more than the price of admis-
sion. Japanese artists are there to
perform, as also are several trapeze
artists, and although the fireworks
are not numerous, they are said to be
very beautiful.
Premiums Awarded.
The majority of exhibits has been
inspected and ribbons have been plac-
ed on the winners. The names Of
those winning prizes will be announ-
ced next week in The Republican.
The fourth and last day of the Fair,
which will be tomorrow, will be Auto
mobile Day. There will be a street
parade showing new automobiles, and
at one o'clock a community sale will
be held at the Fair grounds. Any
one who has anything to sell may
bring it to the Fair on that day and
have it auctioned to the highest bid
der.

Dairy Survey To Be Made.

Immediately after the Fair, a dairy
survey will be made" J. L. McGlone,
county agent, said this morning.
BARNS will be inspected and every
thing will be made ready for the new
dairy which will be put up here. The
necessary supply of milk will also be
located at this time," he said.

GRAPHS SHOW PROGRESS
MADE in PUBLIC HEALTH
Map of County Exhibited at the
Fair Gives Illuminating Infor-
nation Noting Improvement

A map of Garrett county showing
work since 1922, when public health
nursing was first organized in the
county; aims for the year 1927-1928;
a pictorial railroad trip thru Health
land; numerous pamphlets and folders
about child care, personal hygiene and
protection from diseases; these are
only few of the things that greet the
eye upon entering the corner room of
the second floor in the exhibit build
ing at the Garrett County Fair where
Misses Rhesa M. King and Yolanda
Clawson, health nurses, have estab-
lished themselves for the four days
of the Fair.
Personal talks with the mothers of
Garrett and adjoining counties and
several lectures on the care of children
have been given by the health nurses
during the first three days of the eX-
hibit and the same schedule will be
carried out tomorrow. mothers of
the county seem to be very much in
terested," Miss King said, "and many
have come in to get their children
weighed and ask questions concerning
many things about which they were
uncertain"
Chart Shows Advance.
The map of Garrett county with
semi-colored pinheads shows the work
that is now being done in the county,
the work that has been done, and the
work that will be done. Since 1922
there have been tuberculosis clinics
at Kempton, Oakland, Deer Park,
Kitzmiller, Accident, Frlendsville, and
Grantsville.
There have been six child-welfare
clinics and one clinic for crippled chill
dren in different parts of the county,
IL crippled children having been To-
Gated in Z towns of the county.
Nine sections have received the tox-
in anti-toxin for diphtheria. Statis-
tics of officials within the county now
show that there are registered mid
wives, 10 physicians, 4 dentists, and
2 nurses, one each being at the two
health centers, Oakland and Kitzmill-
err.
Aims for 1928.
The public health nursing aims for
the year 1929 cover much more
ground that has been attempted be-
fore, but with the recent addition of
Miss Clawson at Kitzmiller, who will
assist Miss King, it is hoped that
most of the work mapped out can be
accomplished.
Here is what they hope to do: l..
Child welfare clinics once each month
with follow-up work; 2. tuberculosis
clinics once a month with follow-up
work; 3. Health inspection in every
school in Garrett county; A. Dental
survey of all school children; 5. Every
school child vaccinated; 6. Clinics for
crippled children.
7. Clinics for school children with
eye defects; 8. Clinics for children
starting to school in 1928; 9. A round
up of all mid-wives and an examina-
ton; 10. Glasses in Home Hygiene
and the care of the sick; and II. Pre-
natal and post-natal work.
Pictorial Trip.
A pictorial railroad trip through
healthland, is hung over the fire place
in the room and shows the daily trip
that child should take if he is to be
healthy. The picture was drawn by
Mrs. BENZ. H. Sincell, and it includes
the daily bath, the kind of food the
child should have, a certain amount
of play and learning and plenty of
sleep.

Unburdened
Life of Man
Causes ENJOY
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
Along about this time of the year
I get a great hankerng to be a
man. 1t seems to me that these
males get a lot out of life that we
miss. They refuse to be burdened
with the cares of a financial or a
domestic world housekeeping
means nothing to them. They don't
care whether they have a new suit
or not. Only one great desire floods
their souls. They want to go fishing,
And fishing they go. Armed with
hooks, fly rods, reels, lines, leaders,
worms and artificial bait, they are
taking to the woods in droves, hap
py as woodchucks. cheerful as
cherubs, entirely unmindful of the
troubles in China or Mexico or
Nicaragua.
Oh, yes, they know how to capture
the elusive thing called happiness
when the fishing days come. They
are wise as Socrates when they let
their worries slip and run back with
hurrying feet into boyhood again.
And do they go fishing to get
fish? Goodness, no. The fellow
who comes back with empty creel
and stories of the large ones that
got away is just as contented, just
as glowing, as ne who returns with
trophies to exhibit.
For it is not SO much the fish
they want as the freedom, and the
dirt. And they are akin to the gods
because they can go out under the
open sky and loaf away the hours
on some river bank.
Dear, happy fishermen! How like
little boys they are. And well may
we women envy them. For to us
is never vouchsafed that glorious
return to childhood, no matter how
long we may angle or how often we
may scurry to the wildwood. Once
we have become women we can
never go back over that magic road
that leads again to youth. We are
grown up, we are sophisticated, are
old. The birds may sing to us but
never with that lifting song that
comes to the ears of men. The
winds may blow to us over hun
dred hills, but the message OF the
breeze does not penetrate our con-
seriousness. For we, alas, are only
women and shackled with a thou
sand primal cares from which we
may never be free.
So we can only look and envy
envy these fat. bald-headed men
who by some magic talisman which
they carry within themselves, can
become for the space of one fishing
day, carefree boys again.

She's Never Satisfied

but 1 would like to be happy. Do you
think I will ever be? LILLITH.
That's for you to decide, Lillith-
whether you'll ever be happy or not.
If you are constantly ungrateful and
dissatisfied with what you have, you
will cultivate such a hard crust on
your appropriations that you'll not
hear the knocking of opportunity
which makes for further happiness,
if it does come along. Cultivate
approaching small things and being
glad for them.

However, he goes some with other girls.

others and he doesn't want me to either.
Now am willing to give up all other

don't understand what you mean
by bringing him back" when you
do not indicate that he and you
have in any way broken your
friendship.
Your distrust of the young man
indicates that you have mighty
poor foundation for marriage. IN

when she lectured in this city two
years ago don't take her remarks as
seriously as Chicago club women,
for instance, who have been regis
tering protests about them. Mrs.
Asquith simply glories in startling
folks and impressing them with
| the conviction that her thought
processes are different from any
ones else" commented Mrs. A. S.
Ayres, 4040 Guilford Ave-, now serv-
ing her fourth year as second vice
president of the Woman's Depart
ment Club. st think Mrs. Asquith
is stretching the truth a bit herself,
enjoying the sensational tang of her
own remarks. She certainly doesn't
believe men have a monopoly upon
candor and truth. Women are
quite as truthful as the opposite
SEX"
Mrs. Henry Jameson, III, of 3055
Washington Blvd, was of a like
opinion, but commented upon the
fact that men and women nave
different methods Of expressing
candor. Men are more blunt. They
are likely to make their statements
in clear black and white fashion,
while women, because of their
stronger respect for the social
amenities, are f';cly to shade opin-
ions into softer lines. This tendency,
which Mrs. Asquith probably comes
largely into contact with in her So
cial world, has probably given rise
to her remarks. Certainly she can
not mean that women are incapable
of truth and loyalty. That's too
absurd to discuss"
Mrs. Allen T. Fleming, 1909 w.
Twenty Sixth ST., president of the
18th Division Auxiliary, thinks the
wife of the former British prime
minister probably meant what she
said, but in the saying, Mrs. Asquith
revealed the fact that she herself
is inclined to be "catty' and not
adverse to twisting the truth around
to accommodate the spicy remarks
for which she is noted. "The world
is a mirror" said Mrs. Fleming
Mrs. Asquith is simply standing
before that mirror and showing up
her own thought processes. She's
amusing, though"
st think the joke is decidedly
upon Mrs. Asquith when she de-
clares against WOman'S candOr,"
commented Mrs. Elizabeth W..
Hughes, 2315 College Ave-, former
president of the Indiana Drama
League. For of all the persons you
can think of-men or women-who
can compare with Margot in the I'M
afraid candor of her unusually
original mind?"
