at innumerable meetings, setting dates far
in advance of any knowledge when harvest
will be and risking "the busy season" buy
ing entertainment by guess and promise
long before prices and crops warrant bet
on probable support-living to see the sun
shine the day before and day after and rain
fall on the three days it is their duty to en-
terrain tickle public is the life of a
fair director.
And as if these anxieties were not
enough, who gets more criticism ? Individ-
ualy all fine fellows, as board they catch
the boots of all who are prone to kick and
a good many who otherwise are not. -
About ten years ago they built fence,
a needed fence they'll prove with figures,
but though that board has largely passed its
duties to new men,. no discussion of the fair
is complete even today without trottiiig out
that fence. Il
They gave away cars, and satisfied only
the customers who got them. Merchants,
sold on ticket deals with ease by strangers,
had little enthusiasm for this one.
They reduced the gate admission to rs
cents and added to the grandstahd show
until it's the biggest fOur-bits worth obtain
able at any fair we know Of, but the same
fellow who pays SO cents to get into three
ring circus and 80 cents to straddle post
during half as good performance, figures
the local group must have money to sqiand-
err A clown doesn't strike somebody funny
and the bell rings for another round Of
board-cusSing
They've been called sissies for putting
on clean shows and served papers for letting
The mystery is that anyone is public
spirited enough to serve as a director.
WHY WE HAVE ARTTTIkT rpINd
inals at large in this country is we'll illustrat-
ed in the case of Lewis Pastore, alias Bogio,
alias Golden, who halls originally from New
York. Not public enemy in; the upper
brackets, Pastore is just pickpocket who
since 1908 has been arrested 109 times. APP
parently he is not even an ablezsneak thief
For. two years straight he ha$ played in
such minor pickpocket league as the rural
graduation exercises at Window.
No master in spite of his experience,
Pastore was picked up last week at Noun
tain Lake-his one hundred fourth arrest
Was he sent to Saltwater to spend the rest
of his days? No, Window officials did what
every other town has been doing. They
fined him 1892 including costs, and told
him to get out of town. He paid, with stol-
en- money no doubt, and left.
THERE ARE STILL A FEW OF
those persons left in every community who
stop their paper when the editor prints
something with which they do not agree. No
man who cannot hear or read something ex-
pressing a view contrary to that already
J held by him without getting, upset about it
from those who already think as we think.
1t is those who oppose us and express ideas
contrary to our own who stimulate us and
cause US to think Heron Lake News.
If THERE ARE ANY TWO QUAIL
ties of character that are more admired than
any other they are probably courage and
loyalty. And that is just why Elmer Ryan's
announcement recently that he would sup
port Harold Stassen for the governorship
has met with such favor on the part of all
except those who put party above every
thing else.-Windom Citizen.
