The fair, after weeks of preparation, is
over. On the whole, it was fairly good
show. Unfavorable conditions prevented
complete success, and what shortcomings
have appeared are due to the citizens of the
community as whole. The active manage
ment-the few who have put in hours and
hours of labor, have done all they could to
make the show a success. If those who
would have changes made or engagements
in any particular department. would get in
and help, no doubt they could see their de-
sires accomplished. The slogan Make the
Fair Your Affair" should be firmly kept in
mind not only this year, but every year.

Maine, the cradle of prohibition, dry since
1851, has joined the list of states voting
against continuing the eighteenth amend
ment. By the 7th of November 81 states
will have voted upon the question. Three
states vote on that day, so no one state may
claim the distinction of having been the one
to do the trick. Immediately following the
decision of the voters in the 36th state this
most widely violated law ever to be written
upon the statute books of this country will
have become void Judging from hints from
the state capital log, Martin is planning to
call special session of the legislature to
frame laws for the regulation of the liquor
traffic in this state. We now have but one
state law in effect, that of selling liquor to
minors.

back on those horrible days, and yet we see
countries all over the world getting ready
for just such another orgy of bloodshed
Conditions are shaping themselves up in

here in our own country. Will the world
never learn that bloodshed seldom settles

penses." atg

as much thereof as may be necessary"

as life tenant was over $500, 900 a year
and that for one or more years he re-
ceived over $l,000,000
During the past IL months, he says,
he has not been paid any income from
the estate although he is ready and
willing as co-trustee to sign the neces-
sary checks for disbursement of income
