THE COUNTY FAIR

Hail the county fair! 1t is the flamboyant harbinger that
summer sun and soil and toll have produced another harvest
for mankind.
Laugh at the prize pumpkin, if you must, but its round,
yellow belly is a true reminder ofs what one little seed may do.
Sheer at the fat porker, but it s contented grunts are merely
a forrunner of the human signs of satisfaction which will come
later with goIden-brown scrappe and sausage with hot buck
wheat cakes.
Rows of bright-coored jams and jelly glasses whet your
appetite which greater ranks of serried peach, apple, plum and
pear containers do nothing to allay. Listen to the cacke of
Mistress Hen as she does her duty in showing her sister the
way to a more bouniful supply of eggs, while Mr.. Chanticher,
proud upon his blue ribbon perch, challenges in loud call his
admirers to produce his equal.
Gossip and good nature abound at the county fair. One
finds at county fairs a grand swapping of tall stories, all re-
dolent of unprecedented eornstalks, potato yields and even of
physical prowess in performing some herculean agricultural job
in a jnfy.
A fiftycent piece wagered on the white trotter to
beat the black and bay will yield a bigger dividend in thrills
at the county fair race track than would ten thousand bet at
the Derby classic.
So let us be thankful that the sharp tooth Of time has left
hardly a mark upon the county fair. Other things may change,
empires rise or fall, we sweep the world with a flash by radio
and man crosses the continent in a day on wings, but you can
see today at Byberry exactly the same kind of crowds and joy
your great grandfathers delighted in a century ago.

Be that as it may it is raining
in wyoming, or at least the Buff
falo Bill country this summer. we
have had nothing but rain. Cloud
burst after %cloudburst has been re-
ported all over the northein part OF
the state, in a few instances bad
hail storms, and just ordinary rain
storms almost every day OF the
week.
Sunday Cody had. probably the
heaviest rain of the season. at
least more water fell within a
shorter period of time than has
fell here in many years. The street
were awash, the roads in every al
rection, except where graveled were
impassible, and the creeks, Sulphur
and Trail creeks were the highest
ever recorded
We are sure going to have to
change our tune regarding that

100000 PLUS.

The tourist traffic, solely a product of improved highways,
is worth from 6,000,O 900 to 100000 annually to the business
men and merchants throughout Wyoming. Ultimately this sum
is reflected in additional prosperity for everyone in the state
The earning power of improved roads both from a stand
point of economy to the motor vehicle owner and disbursements
made by the traveller, is a subject worthy of most careful
consideration, by every individual interested in the improve
ment of Wyomings highway facilities. More and better i'm
proved roads mean more traffic and more traffic in turn
means more advertising for the State. If the advertising is
favorable it means, sooner or later, more prosperity for all,
through development of our resources, enhancement of values
and increase of business Notwithstanding Roads.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Fortune of Woman
Built or, Bootees

It was a tiny pair of knitted silk
bootees, made for her infant grand
daughter, that started Mrs. Grace
Dolen. farmwoman. of Bargersville,
on the road to fame and fortune.
That's the story told in the cur
rent issue of American Magazine
about her.
A pair of silk bootees knitted for
her granddaughter attracted the
owner of a small gift shop to Mrs.
Dolen. A dozen pairs, hastily knit
ted, placed in the window to attract
Christmas shoppers, six years ago
started business that today is esti
mated to be worth more than 100000
per year and employs more than 200
of Mrs. Dolen's neighbor women.
A buyer for an indianapolis store
really started Mrs. Dolen on the road
to fortune. for she happened to be
in the community when those first
bootees went on display in the small
shop and she was so attracted to
them that she Immediately ordered
a large number for her store.
Now the business thinks nothing
of an order for a thousand dozen
pairs such as was received the other
day.

NO WIVES
FOR FLIERS
UNDER 80
New Regulation Affects
Itaiy's Military AW-
atorS.

BIZ United Press
ROME, May 20.-No Italian air
man, whether he be officer, pilot or
mechanic, may marry before the age
of thirty.
This regulation, though based on
serious and practical considerations.
has caused ripple among the young
av.ators, who find themselves bound
by the same rules as the priesthood.
They are in fact, until they reach
the age Of 80, turned into kind of
priestly caste.
Reasons for Law
The new law imposing this oblig-
atory celibacy is based on the pre-
sumption that a man can not, If he
has wife and family, give Of his
best in a service which, above all
things, requires daring and single
mindedness. The report introducing
the new measure states that "the
obligations and duties deriving from
the possession of a family exercise
a notable influence on the serenity
of spirit Of persons attached to the
air force"
There, is the same principle behind
the new law as that which enjoins
obligatory celbacy on the Catholic
priesthood, whereby, according to
the belief of the church, a man can
not at the same time serve his sa-
cred mission and his family.
The Italian aviation authorities
believe that pilots must be young
men and allow them to marry after
the age of 80, on the supposition,
that in the majority of cases, by that
time, they will go into the ground
services.

Where are we going?" Bobbie
asked as they swept along in the
hot yellow sunlight.
She knew very we'll where they
were going. She knew perfectly
that Gus was taking her to a
lonely hilltop that looked down
upon the ocean just beyond Santa
Monica, and she didn't want to go
there.

alive with memories, that hilltop.
1t was there that Gus had told her
first that he was in love with her.
1t was there that he had kissed
her many, many times, but hadn't
asked her to marry him when he
should be free. No! The hilltop
was no place for the two of them,
any more. Not now, since they
had sworn off all love-making!

Finally Bobbie made up her
mind to give her up as a bad
job. She left her yelling at the
top of her vocie like an enraged
prina donna and ran downstairs
to resign her position as Jolly's
teacher. H.
But Lottie was nowhere in
sight. The big cool shady rooms
were empty, and there wasn't a
sound except the buzz of voices
from the dining room where the
servants were having their lunch.
Presently a white-frocked nurse
went up the stairs and Bobbie
handed jolly over to her and
fairly flew out of the house.
She was all but crying as she
started down the flight of stone
steps that led to Sunset Boule-
ward.
Tears of anger and modification
stood in her brown eyes, and
through them she made out the
