Fair as a Curiosity Shop

n COUNTY fair is than mere gathering
~ place for buyers and sellers. 1t is an EXPOSE
ton, competitive exhibition of products and
wares.
Being that exposition is particularly setting
forth for purposes of explanation and display it
sentially educational in nature
Now curiosity is the disposition to inquire into
anything new, characteristic common to knowledge
seeking men and women.
In order to get the most from your fair visit
let curiosity reign you look the many and var
led exhibits and displays. Ask questions of the ex-
hlbitors. Be, for the day, of the inquiring mind.
Learn what makes the wheels go around; how Farmer
Jones attained such big grain yield; or how Neigh
Dor Brown raised such even hogs; why Dairyman Bill
increased his milk production Then your visit to the
fair will be an education.
fair is something like circus in that its at
traction lies in the sameness from year to year. Take
away the rides, the race, cattle and the people will
holler, "What punk fair"
But it differs from circus in this that people
go to see circus for freaks of nature while at fair
they seek the superior commonplace animals and
things which imply mans quest for progress.

General Pershing Is 20

~ ENERAL John J. Pershing, 70 years old on Aug
ust 10, has had perhaps the most remarkable
career of any American soldier from the Army
since 1924 and is still active chairman of the Amer
battle monuments commission.
Born in Linn county, Missouri, he was graduated
from West Point in 1886, gaining his first actual bat
tie experience the same year in the Apache Indian
campaign. He served in the Sioux of 1890-91; in
the Santiago campaign of 1898, and distinguished him
self in successful campaigns against the Moros in the
Philippines, for which he promoted from captain
to brigadier,general.
He commanded the expedition sent into Mexico
in pursuit of Villa in 1916 and at the outbreak of the
World War placed in command of the American
Expeditionary Forces in GRANGE. For his distinguish
ed services in the he made General of the
Armies of the United States, rank created for him
by Congress in 1919. He also received the highest
military decorations from all Allied nations.
General Pershing's life has been marked by many
hardships and at least great sorrow His wife
and three children burned to death in fire in
the Preside of San Francisco on August 81 1915,
while he absent from the post on duty. Mrs.
Pershing the daughter Of Senator Warren of
Wyoming.
During his long career General Pershing has
served his country with extraordinary distinction and
his fellow citizens will wish for him many years
in which to enjoy the wellearned honors which have
been bestowed upon him.-Ex.

adventurous appeal

Many persons, failing to conquer themselves, meet
with despair and utter hopelessness because Of their
unresourcefulness in coping with situations facing

the result is that the pitcher is

Half of the time their bat is In front
of them when the ball is coming
toward them and they cannot get it
back and swing before it arrives. The
result Is they are never timing the

Keep your bat back and you will

have advocated. In case OF foul,
where the injured party can't go On that
night. there will be a return bout where
each fight patron with foul check can
see the next contest upon the payment
of 81 or $3.50 to cover the extra cx-
penses incurred And the fighter de-
iivering the foul will have to pay Is per
cent of his purse to the other party.
The main advantage here is that
fouling, under this penalty, VII go out
of business. Neither side will have any
deep yearning to fight again for moth
ing. The lead that Pennsylvania has
taken will practically force other State
Boxing Commissions to follow practical
ly the same plan or admit they have no
