county fairs. They encourage home
talent and to be sure the community
has some real home talent. OF course
outside entertainers are also there
with acrobatic stunts, dancing, sing
ing, music, jokes, etc, and the fair
has some of the minor amusements
such as merry-gO-round,f ferris wheel,
fortune teller, the take-on- all-wrest-
Ter, etc., but that portion of the fair
is not the big attraction. Rather,
it is there to help fill in and to make
it complete SO that folks of all ages
and desires may be accommodated.
The management caters to and builds
for better taste with good and whole
some entertainment.
The agricultural exhibit is fore
most and there is no hauling away
of exhibits of any kind or description
until II o'clock on the last night of
the fair. Visitors any afternoon or
evening of the three days can see
all of the exhibits. The rule of hold
ing all exhibits up till the Last hour
is adhered to very closely by the fair
dent, stated that the rule is the same
to all and is applied with the same
firmness to each and every exhibitor.
Another line of entertainment in
which the Lincoln county fair excells,
is that of baseball. An old baseball
player in that community, John Dom
ovan, who was at his best on the
diamond 80 years ago, has charge of
the grounds, Assisted by relief labor
he has produced a diamond that is
second to none in the state. Loads
and loads of fine lake bottom sand
have been mixed with the black loan
soil and spread on the grounds until
it is as smooth and looks like any
minor or big league diamond. Superb
baseball was played each day of the
fair by teams in that part of the
state. Various brass bands from the
county also furnished entertainment
throughout the fair, and there were
horse races, stock parades, All Club
parades, chariot races and so on.
Tyler is a village of about 1000
inhabitants and to draw a crowd of
between 1000 and 5000 people on one
day Of the fair is unusual and shows
on the face of it that they provide
something worthwhile in exhibits and
entertainment and that the people
appreciate the able management by
those in charge.

BIG INTERNATIONAL
MOVEMENT AGAINST
THE CURSE OF WAR

A vast campaign against war, by
means OF mandate from the peoples
to their governments, is being
launched by the Women's Interna-
tiOnal League for Peace and Freedom
in the sixty countries that have signed
the KellOgg-Briand Pact.
AS tribute to Jane Adams, who
was one of the worlds greatest paci-
fists and for many years international

WELL DONE

The editor of the AskOv American
had the pleasure and privilege of
attending and speaking at the Lin

childhood home town, last week. The
entry day was on Thursday, followed
by three days of fair. Friday, Satur-
day. and Sunday. The largest crowd
was present on the final day, Sunday.
there being between four and five
thousand visitors that day.
The point of mentioning the Lin
soln county fair in this column is
their program, which, to large ex-
tent, was home talent. On Friday
evening the visitors were treated to
a most splendid concert by a 35 piece
symphony orchestra under the direc-
ton of Sigurd Jorgensen, local music
instructor for several years. Half of
the 35 musicians reside in the Tyler
community and the others in neigh
boring Lincoln county villages. so it
can truly be called a Lincoln county
symphony orchestra. They played
such compositions as Oberon over
ture. and Hungarian Raphsody. The
cornet soloist. DR.. Nordin of Lake
Benton. delighted the audience with
masterful triple tongueing eQualling
that on the professional stage. The
orchestra played the accompaniment

On Saturday evening a pageant was
presented by local talent which was
also much enjoyed. The entertain
ment embodied two H. c. Andersen
plays. The Emperor's New Clothes
and The Swineherd," under the able
direction of DR.. F.. n. Thomson, and
Harold A. Petersen, superintendent OF
the Tyler schools and former Askov
boy. While the plays were presented
in pantomine the reading was done
by Rev. Holger Strandskov.
The thing that impressed the writer
about the Lincoln county fair is the
fact that it is not commercialized to
the extent of the ordinary run of

WELDED GREAT INFLUENCE
(Springfield Advance-PreSs)


The saddest news of many day
was the flash that Will Rogers had
been killed in plane crash. There
was a real man. The country needed
him for his humor, his philosophy
and his optimism. He was every
body's friend. Those who followed
his writings and his pictures learned
to know him better than they knew
their most intimate friends. He knew
us all, too, in the aggregate. He
knew humanity all over the world.
Few welded the influence he did and
none welded a more wholesome in
fluence. There was goodness in his
makeup. Few others have been right
so much of the time. His life is an
inspiration to all who followed his
career.

championship has her eye on the
coveted title in 1885. If, by any
chance, Mrs. Ware has decided to
prepare seriously, which seems in
dicated, she's as good as in right
now.
Lest we forget: Mrs. Ware, be-
sides being Americas greatest
woman golfer, a trapshooter and
a devotee of sports of the field,
is the proud mother of two chill
dren, a boy and girl.
Speaking of trapshooting brings
us round to the information from
Georgia on Bobby Jones Che pre-
fers to be called Bob now that
he is in his maturity, something
you shouldn't forget.)
Bob has developed into quite a
trapshooter. The odd part of it
all is that he is a southpaw while
participating in this sport!
Left Eye Trained
Apparently he has discovered
that his left eye has been trained
to high degree of perfection
through his efforts of years on the
golf courses of the world.
incidentally, Bob already is pre-
pairing himself for the annual
Masters Tournament, which will
be held in April. He has played
in several charity golf matches
since the first of the year. pro-
ceeds of which go to the Junior
League of Atlanta and the fund
for crippled children.
Bob's charity matches to date
this year are the beginning of his
preparations for the Masters
event. 1t will be recalled that IN
this same tourney last spring
Bob's putter was not working any
too well. Provided there are
enough of them between now and
April, these charity matches
should bring the great Stylist to
the top of his game for the only
tournament he will enter this year.

yes" adds Glenna's hus-
band, "and she loves trapshoOt-

All of which means that Mrs.
Ware is proving herself a versatile
woman.
It appears that Mrs. Ware not
long ago took up trapshooting,
and that quite recently her hus-
band sold her the idea that field
trials and hunting dogs in the
field constitute magnificent sport.
"The last so targets she shot
at she broke 49," reports
Glenna's husband.
This is trapshooting in cham
pionship style.
incidentally, according to the
information from Georgia, Glenna
will do quite a bit of winter golf

RUTH MAY RIDE
To GLORY IN
BOSTON ROW
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
Times Staff Writer

Babe Ruth may ride to mana
gerial glory out of the chaos that
grips the National League as a
result of the Boston Braves can
ceiling their lease on their home
park. Judge Emil E. Fuchs,
president of the Braves, has been
granted license to hold a
greyhound race meeting in the
field the Braves called home
since 1914, by the Massachusetts
State Racing Commission.
Fuchs is prepared to resign as
president of the Boston club to
carry through his determination
to conduct greyhound racing. AL
ready removed as a member of
the board. of directors of the Bo5-
ton club, the judges resignation
as president would give Charles
F. Adams, his partner, full con-
troll of the Braves.
Fuchs and Adams have been
at swords points for some time,
and the latest strain on the in.
harmonious relations of the pair
is the matter of the club man
agement.
The minute Adams learned that
Ruth might be available as man
ager of major league club at
no cost whatever. he Immediately
insisted that Bill McKechnie be
deposed and the Bambino in
stalled as leader of the Braves.
Fuchs, a strong admirer of Nc
Kechnie, refused to release his
friend and the battle with Adams
was on again.
Will Hire Ruth
Those close to the source of
news say that the fight can have
only one end. and that the end
is prophesied by the can
collation. of the lease. Adams
holds the financial power and
just as soon as Fuch resigns as
president of the club, which he
must do before the Red Sox will
admit the Braves to FenWay
Park, Adams will fire McKechnie
and hire Ruth.
Adams, it is said by men who
are close to him, realizes that
something spectacular must be
