FIREWORKS TO BE-
SHOWN TWO NIGHTS

Huge fireworks displays are be-
ing arranged for two nights at
this years Union county Fair
They will be features of both We'd
nesday night, Sept. II, and Thurs
day night, Sept. II.
Furnished by the Interstate
Fireworks Display Co., of Twins
burg, O., the shows will include
the usual varieties of fireworks,
together with several spectacular
displays. Among the latter is "The
Battle of Okinawa', described by
the manufacturer as follows:
"At the opening of this scene
there appears a peaceful picture of
a Japanese village, outlines of the
buildings are shown entirely in
fireworks.
AS two bombing planes appear
over the village, the scene soon
changes from a peaceful one to
one of intense excitement and
thrills. The bombing starts in a
light way with an explosion here
and there throughout the village
and increases until a terrific bonn
bardment is being waged. This
with the battery of shells rising
towards the planes from tn e
ground makes a very realistic bat
tie that is fairly breath-taking in
excitement.
AS the battle reaches its height
and many of the buildings are
burning, a flight of many shells in
the background are thrown into
the air, bursting into all types of
designs and colors, making a beau
tiful as well as exciting scene.
"The battle passes its climax and
the scene is about to fade, when
there appears in the background
a large American Flag, with sold
ier on one side and a sailor on the
other.
1--WE recommend this as one of
our best battle scenes"

AS with dairy cattle, Union
county is among the very first in
Ohio in the number and quality of
its sheep.
So high do Union county sheep
men rank that many officers OF
both state and national sheep
breeders associations reside here.
Many of the nations top money
winners among sheep exhibitors
also live within the county and
their exhibits at the big sheep
shows before the war were known
far and wide.
So well known is Union county
as a sheep producing area that this
year, two state breed associations
came to the Union county Fair
Grounds for their annual shows
and sales.
Consequently, the Fair Board
has placed much emphasis on its
sheep department, and has arrang-

Editors NOte:-H AIRY w.
Hopes, a former resident of
Marysville and now veterinar-
ian in LaRue, has written the
following article in "reminiscences
of Union county Fairs of a few
years back. 1t will bring to mind
the many features of the Union
county Fairs which brought
pleasures to Fair gOers of half
century back)
I am thinking today of the
great Union county Fair and nat
urally, my memory carries me
back to the fairs of As or 40 years
ago when the fair was not only
great exposition, but to me at
that tender age was the greatest
event of the year. 1t was my priv
ilege to have some idle time then
and before the fair dates l would
content myself by going out to the
Playground, there to watch the men
who were then responsible for, and
took sincere pride in giving to the
people of Union county one of the
greatest expositions possible.
In mentioning some of the men
of that date most of whom have
passed on, 1 believe it will include
the leaders of the community of
that day. Around the race track,
where my early inclinations were
most prominate, l think of such
men as George M. Wilber and his
son. Bob, with their horses Mackey
Boy, Oakland Boy, The Rambler,
etc.; Ed Tyrrel with the fast little
Costa, ard later on a son of this
little mare which a son of Mr..
Tyrrel raced. 1 think too, of
French Stillings with his wonder
horse, DR.. Strong, driven by Otis
Gordon. My what race he had
with Billy Foster Bot, driven, 1
think, by Charles Valentine. Also
William Stillings of Electric Bow
fame, then of Frank Belt sr. and
jr., a great pair who always had
something in the way of great horse
flesh at the races. At all times
John Laird could be seen at the
track. Not so often did he race any
of his own horses, but can be re-
membered as the owner of some
of the early sires in Union county,
Profit Wilkes, Strong Boy, On
Great, etc. And while speaking of
owners of Sires, l think of Robert
Purdum with Hesperus. Frank Glib
son, owner of beautiful little Fred
Arthur; Luis Carpenter, with the
large horse, Tom Corwin; Reed
and Butts with their famed horse,
GameSter; then t The e Redwood
owned sires. Civilization and Elec-
tricity. I think the late Judge
James Robinson was part owner
of Old Civ, as he became affect
ionately known in the later years.
The different trainers, a few of
whom 1 have mentioned, added to
these Billy Obrien, of Zulu Hal
fame, Ote Gordon, Dick Shepard,
Rolfus with the fast mare, Helen
Hur; and many others who used
the track for training.
Then later the matinee boys,
Walter Fullington, with Prince R;
Merritt Lentz with Hal Jr.; w. P.
Beightler with some of the prog
eny of Lucy Clay, William T.
Hopes with Clayton; Henry Conk-
lin, Thomas Lockwood, Ellis Spain,
DR.. Carl Hopes, Ed More, of
Redwood; not forgetting Henry
Adams of the same town. Edward
Berger, the blacksmith; John De-

JUNIOR FAIR IS
BIGGEST DIVISION,
MOST IMPORTANT
This Years To Be Largest
Ever Held, With Hundreds
OF Exhibits Scheduled

Largest single department of the
Union County Fair ,and probably
the most valuable from the stand
point of the training it provides, is
the Junior Fair. From relatively
small beginning of few years ago
it has grown to an annual entry
list number in the hundreds.
This years Junior Fair, partially
because of changes in the program
and partially because of the ever
increasing interest in All club and
F. F. A. work, will be the biggest
ever held at the local Fair.
In charge of The Junior Fair will
be County Agent D. B. Robinson.
He will be assisted by Junior Fair
Board, appointed by members of
the County All Council.
So that more people can witness
grading and judging of the All
and F. F. A. livestock entries, a
special show ring will be set up,
with bleachers provided for spec
tators. This is expected to pro-
vide additional interest in this de-
partment, as well.
Entries in the All division are
open to any boy or girl officially
enrolled in All work in Union
County in 1915, but all exhibits
must come from the exhibitors
projects. Exhibits must be in place
at s pm. Saturday and will be re-
leased at pm. Thursday.
All exhibits will be graded on
the letter basis of "A, 'B', or c.
and given a ribbon as the award.
Final grades will receive the fol-
lowing money awards: "A, $1.5O;
b, 81 land c., rs cents. Each ex-
hibitor of livestock and poultry
will receive transportation award
as follows: cattle, $1.50 per ex-
hibit; sheep and swine, 81 per
exhibit; and poultry, 35 cents per
exhibit. Each club making a booth
exhibit of clothing, nutrition or
conservation will receive $5.
Several special contests with
cash awards have been arranged
for the All club department, COM
plete details of which may be
found in the premium list. In
brief, these are:
Showmanship contest of beef,
dairy swine and sheep, sponsored
by the First National Bank; dairy
cattle judging, sponsored by Nest
les Milk Products, Inc; general
livestock judging, sponsored by the
Union County Farm Bureau Co
operative; clothing judging, spon-
sored by the Kiwanis Club; food
judging, sponsored by Kaufman's
Food Market, Milford Center.
An advisors recognition award
of $100 will be given, and All
members will receive additional
honor by being chosen to attend
the All Club Congress. Rings, pins
and other All medals will be
awarded to deserving All members
by the Citizens Federal Savings &
Loan association.
Monday will be the Junior Fair
day, and all All Club and F. F. A.
exhibits will be graded on that day.
Examinations in the various
county contests and demonstra-
tionS were held two weeks ago.
The Vocational Agriculture Di-
vision of the Junior Fair will be
in charge of S. j. Mcclure, James
B. Ryan, Warner Augenstein, Fred
Collier and Wilbur Stevens.
All entries are open to any boy
enrolled in vocational agriculture

OF WALLACE

There were no noticeable dis
senters in the New Hanover County
Democratic party leadership yes
terday in the wake of President
Humans dramatic custer of
Henry A.. Wallace.
Nathan S. Haskell, county Demo-
cratic chairman, declared, Il
think the President was absolute
ly correct. Wallace should have
gotten out before this. The. Presi-
dent has the right to have no such
split in his cabinet.
R. M. Kermon, county assembly,
and a member of the
Democratic state executive com
mittee, "Wallace's getting out is
a good thing. Secretary of State
Byrnes is our representative be-
fore the world, and he deserves the
support of all the Presidents cabi-
net. Free speech for us is one
thing but Wallace's kind of free
speech for a high government
is another"
