l intoxicated than they were.
5 Thursday witnessed a great scene
} Men were much in a delapidateC
J condition, black eyes, bruised faces
T prevailed to a large extent.
How changed things now are
very little drinking and men seen
, to think more of themselves than tt
engage in such brawls.
, Fair At Harrington
Many of our people attended the
Fair which has been held the past
week at Harrington.
Most of the time the weather was
oppressively hot; yet the people
seemed to flock there by the thOus-
ands. ...
The display of the goods on exhi-
bition was fine and some think that
it far eclipsed in size and beauty
anything yet held.
The racing of the horses took
place as usual and for lovers of this
class of sport, it was more than sat
itfactory.
We cry hard times but from the
immense crowds which assembled
] OH IuG Il dlI SIOuuuS3 llOnOJ lhuoS DC
plentiful with some.
The farmers should be the most
interested as the high grade of stock
on exhibition and improved machin-
cry will enable them to improve
their stock and carry on their farms
at less expense.
Met With A Severe Accident
Mrs. Lena Walker who resides at
the home of her sister and brother
in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. iona Filings
worth, met with very painful ac-
cident on Wednesday of last week.
Mrs. Walker was walking in the
garden when she stepped into a hole
which caused her fall, breaking her
arm in two places.
She was taken to the Emergency
Hospital, Milford, where the physi-
clans set the fracture. She is resting
there recuperating after the ordeal
which she passed through.
Mrs. Walker several years ago
was run over by an automobile in
one of the cities of California and
spent several months in the hospi-
tai of that State. She has been COM
PEELED to use crutches and canes
ever since that accident.
1t seems that this lady is having
more than her share of hard luck.
Building A New Bungalow
Elwood Lynch is having erected
on a piece of land which he owns on
the boulevard west of Glendale a
new bungalow.
We commend the efforts of this
young man to secure for himself and
family a future home, and no doubt
they will be more than satisfied
when ensconced in their new sur
roundings.
How many more young men who
now spend their earnings on useless
things, could, if they would, initiate
the example set by Mr.. Lynch and
soon have a home of their own.
The writer on several occasions
have advised young men when en-
gagged in several industries of the
country at large wages, to save a !
part of their income and procure
them home. Some have done this
but the majority have thrown such

spend their incomes lavishly, until
today they have hardly a dollar
which they can call their own.
J. G. Short, Jr., is the contractor
in charge of the work.
