Ecclesiastics First to
Recognize Fairs Value

Fairs, writes Arthur Haslam In the
London Daily Telegraph, may be said
to be child Of honored and ancient
stock. The honor Of receiving the
first royal charter for a fair belongs
to Paris. 1t was in the early part of
the Seventh century that the business
like monks of st. Denis drew atten-
ton to the enormous opportunities for
trading presented by the great con-
courses of worshipers who daily WIS.,
tied the famous shrine to pray. The
charter was accordingly granted to
enable business to be transacted with
in the ecclesiastical precincts, and
thus there arose the medieval custom
whereby nearly all the charters for
fairs were granted to ecclesiastics.
The fairs of st. Denis were held al
ways on a saints day.
Through the centuries the fairs OF
Europe prospered, as much through
the kindly Offices Of throne and church
as through the efforts of the traders
themselves. But in England there was
one curious anomaly. Valuable as the
fairs were for the purposes Of inter-
national trading, and prosperous as
they rendered the towns in which they
were held, the local shopkeepers often
had cause to eye them with disfavor.
In consequence of the lack of busi-
ness they suffered they were oftenI
compelled temporarily to put up their
shutters. In the case Of the one
which was held on st. Giles hill, near
Winchester, and lasted for 16 days,
the heart-burning occasioned by par
liamentary decree that shopkeepers
should mot compete with the fair
may be imagined.

Natures Adaptation of
Fish to Environment

Fish have all sorts Of physical adap-
tations to their environment, Doctor
Longley has found. Some have impreg-
nable defense against enemies, such as
the "shell fish," This Is not a mol
lusk or crustacean, but real fish cow
cred with bony plates. It can move|
only its lips, gills and tail and must
stand up to feed. Among the diurnal!
fish are the workers and the loafers.
The former keeps busily engaged prob
ing for food in the sea bottoms, but
they are accompanied by others who
only wait to catch what they dig up.
Many of the fish are gorgeously col
ored and some have the ability
to change their color, like chameleons,
in different environments. Such al
creature as the hog fish becomes mot
tied when on broken, rocky bottom,
but white on a smooth sand bottoms
The dominant colors, Doctor Longley
found, tend to be the colors Of thet
places where the fishes live. Some-l
times this protective celebration ext
tends even to the inside Of the mouth
and to the iris Of the Washing-l
ton Star.

zone of the first signs of the decay
of a town is when it cannot get up
enthusiasm to support a band. The
Marion band needs support. Most
people don't know it.
"In order to keep themselves up to
snuff the boys practice twice week.
They pay a dollar a month out of
their own pockets. This isn't fair.
They should not be asked to do that.
The money goes to pay rent for hall
in which to practice, and other incl
dental expenses.
"Who will pay the yearly dues for
one band boy? This paper will re-
ceive it for them. Some of the boys
have got behind in their dues. A
good many of them work hard for
their money. When they get behind
they do not feel like coming around
to practice and the band suffers.
Loyalty of the Band
"Only last Armistice Day our band
had an offer to go to another town.
They could have got $3.50 for the day.
They stuck to Marion. They have
always stuck. We ought to stick to
them.
"There is soon to be show put on
in town a part of the proceeds of
which go to the band Support that
when it comes along. If you feel like
chipping in to pay some fellows dues
for a year, we will be glad to hear
from you"
When the campaign has run its
course, the Marion band will probably
be completely QUILTED with quadruple
gold-plated horns and uniforms with
gold braid three inches wide. Any.

There are not many parts of the

but in Tibet they are. The animals.
loaded with packs of wool, are used
between Tibet and the Rampur Fair,

are traversed that are inaccessible to-

Once the wool has reached its destf-

Spirit of the Band
Anderson says he would like to be
the drum major In the band but
doesn't have the figure. Well, he may
be- a little plump and his knee action
may be a bit stiff but We'll vote for
him, anyway. He catches the spirit
of the parading band. That's what
it takes to be drum major.
"The band represents the town on
its gay days." he says. "When the
fair comes, when there is a celebra-
ton, Fourth of July, any kind of a
jamboree when every citizen becomes
a boy again, then a good band. step
ping gaily out, the drums beating,
flags fying-what is q town without
a good band3
yYea cannot have a good band in
|debt. You cannot expect the boys to
blow gaily, step out with real gusto,
when they are in debt. To have a
good band requires nights Of steady
practice, it requires sticking to it..
What can you expect when the boys
have to come to band meeting and
PUNK down a dollar just for the priyis
lege of working to be good when We
want them good?
"The boys got q little discouraged,
Their leader got sick. A lot of them
are working boys. They got little in
debt. This paper is no uplift papen

Sherwood Andersen says ne IS not

the band cause from his cwn selfish
desires. He says he likes a band;
Band music just suits him. He would

big drum is booming, the horns going.

I'd like to do it myself but | haven't
got the figure for it,
''And how faithful and devoted the
band members are. The men of our
Marion band, for example, go off to
practice twice a week. Far from get
ting paid for their work they do it
without pay. The members even pay
dues to keep the band going.
Recently, until these last few
weeks, our Marion band has had a
band leader who was paid a good
salary because he was a good man.
He was there to keep the boys I'D to
snuff and would be- there now but
that he is sick.
But the boys are at it just the
same. They are keeping the band up.
Sacrifices of Band Men
"There are men In the Marion band

like one too. Our band gets offers to
go all over the Southwest. Such
offers almost always come when we
need them here and they stay at
home. Instead of going out and rak-
ing in money they stay here and give
their services.
"And there are individual members
of the band who make a sacrifice
every time they go out to play. Do
they kick? Not they.
"The boys of the band like their

they come. Music floating on the
