| pose II directors were lnCllueu
stimulate a little more serious in
terest on the part of town people i
the affairs of the great agriculture
producing sections. This. manifest
ly, was the original intention Of tn
county fair. There was a time whel
farm exhibits invariably drew thous
ands and public discussions abou
the stock exhibits and elsewhere re
suited in better understanding ant
knowledge among the farmers.
In an attempt to please both thu
farmer and the city resident fai
boards have overlooked in { gOoC
many cases real needs which exis
for getting back t. first principles.
When this time arrives, it goes with
out saying that it will mark an ad
vanced step in making the county
fair a useful and important part iI
our life as a great producing state.

THERE is a time-honored belief
that preceding a presidential elec-
ton year, business slows up and un-
certainty prevails.
There have been good grounds for
such a supposition because in the
past political leaders and political
parties dealt ruthlessly with the
wage Garner and the investor in
their efforts to inflame the public on
so-called party issues" and ride in
to Office on wave of indignation or
misunderstanding of the voters.
The day of political buccaneering
is passing just as did the days Of the
seafaring pirate. The people are
better informed. They realize that
certain basic conditions must be
in this country if en-
ployment and security of invest
ments are to prevail. They know
that these conditions must be main
tanned by whatever party is in pow
er. They do not listen with favor to
the radical members of any party
who would use their party as a We
hicle for exploiting visionary theor-
les which would endanger the stabil-
ity of the country. The people be-
gin to realize that the title of Pres
ident of the United States is syuony-
nous with the term General Manag-
er of a great corporation which is
for the well-being of
of workmen and investors.
Never in the history of the United
States have the people had such an
object lesson in the close parallel
between government and business as
since the World War During that
time millions of citizens have invest
ed money on which they wished to
earn a fair interest return. They
have found that without safe and
stable government tLeic Investments
and their earnings are hnperiled.
they have been forcibly
with the fact that good
government and good business go
land in hand. and you cannot have
me without tEe other.
The people realize that the pros
,erity of this nation in large meas
ire depends upon their public OIL
ials, and they are frowning upon
he public official who plays fast and
pose with the obligations he has as
umed as a public servant and en-
loyee, merely to further his own
olitical aims. Conditions are most
to politicians who want
} start something. The people have
ad several years of Unbroken pros
Gritty, are living we'll, buying cars
nd eating their fill: wearing the
est clothes they ever had, going to
lovies and ball games, travelling
'om one end of Our Country to the
ther, listening to the radio and en-
,ying life. They realize that these
1vantages are the result of stable
nd steady employment and earn
lgs.
Any candidate for public Office
ust recognize these facts, and
,alize his responsibilities when he
ks the people to put him in charge
virtual manager or division su-
of the governmental
Id business affairs of this nation.

KEEP CHILDREN IN SCHOOL
The wastefulness of child labor, I
en- where it is under public regu- Il
