interest in agricultural exhibits
since they went to the fair to
have a good time and meet their
old friends.
There were always races, most
ly county races. The horses en-
tered had to belong to Noble
county. At one time it was neces-
sary to circle the race track four
times for one mile but they did
finally make it one third of a
mile or three times around for a
mile. If & horse could trot or pace
it in four minutes, he was o. K.
The main attraction was a bal
loon ascension, which was always
of interest. One year, it would
be a monkey, who would be tax
en- up in his individual parachute.
The next year, a dog. Then at
times, they would take a goose
and let it loose when the para
chute was cut loose to see which
would land first. This was very
exciting and made a good ground
for bets.
Sarahsville was always head
quarters for all political fights in
Noble county. No Republican
could be elected without the help
of Center township.
In 1896, when Mckinley ran on
gold standard platform and
Bryan on a silver program, for
the presidency, they had gold hats
for Republicans and silver for
Democrats.
The Sarahsville band, which
was hired to furnish music for
the fair, came on the fairgrounds
one afternoon, all wearing gold
hats. This made the Democrats
see red and a fight was started
which could have ended in riot
At the same time, the balloon was
being inflated so the fight had
to stop because the men all want
ed to see the balloon ascension
However, they fought Ions
enough to produce a lot of bloody
noses and black eyes.
The SarahsVille Fair had its
place and at the time it was held
furnished a lot of entertainment
for the people.
Mayor Homer Johnson of Cald'
we'll was secretary of the fair
committee for 10 years.
The first fair was held in 1852
and continued each year until
1917, when it was moved to Cald,
well, the county seat.

service that led to greater things;
the main object of the fair, when
organized, was TO promote the in
terests of agriculture and cement
the ties Of friendship among the
people OF Noble county.
In those days, the. mode of
travel was either on foot, horse
back or in q wagon. 1t was long
way from Batesville to Sarahs-
vile if you should happen to be
walking but a lot Of people
thought nothing of walking IS or
20 miles to attend the fair. Every
one would bring basket of
grub and stay all day and make a
picnic of it. They always had to
leave one guard around the wag-
on to keep the boys from steal
ing the lunch. The women would
sit around and knit and tell their
different recipes for making ap-
pie butter, etc. and the men
would talk over the best kind of
corn to raise and they got lot
of good information each year at
the Fair.
When the o. r. and w. Rail
road was born, this helped the
fair out as the company would
always run special trains for the
fair and this gave lot of people
a chance to attend.
The biggest crowd on recorc
was 5000, which was 'humding'
er" at that time.
1t was said that anyone thai
never attended the Sarahsville
fair had missing link in his life
A lot of sport was made of i
as it was nicknamed THE World:
Fair. One religious sect, wht
were opposed to it, called it The
Drundard's Reunion. NeVerthe
less, it was a great gathering fol
the people of Noble county, Wht
never had chance to get very
far from home.

'Rabbis Board Extends
New Years Greetings
To Community Here

The Washington Board of
Rabbis today extended New
Years greeting for the year 5713
to the Washington community.
In statement issued by Rabbi
Harry Silverstone, president, and
Rabbi Jerome M. Pines, secretary,
the board declared:
1.-The Washington Board of
Rabbis extends heartiest New
Years greetings to all our friends
in Greater Washington. We pray
that the year 5713 will be a year
of prosperity, happiness and
peace for all humanity.
1--WE hail the State Of Israel
for it's outstanding accomplish
ments in bringing to it's shores
thousands of Jews fleeing persecu-
tion and homelessness and in
tegrating them into new whole
some life. Israel has made mag
nificent progress in its economic
development and stands out as a
beacon of progressive democracy
in the Near East.
DeplOre Red Restraint.
1--WE deplore restraint of the
practice of the Jewish religion in
the Communist dominated lands.
A generation of Jews is being
raised in these countries with
little knowledge of or loyalty to
the faith of our fathers. We de-
plore the restriction on emigra-
ton from these countries of those
Jews who want to emigrate to
Israel or other democratic lands.
"We are heartened by the state
ments of both candidates for the
presidency of the United States
pledging a campaign free Of any
bigotry or intolerance. Their
strong declarations for tolerance
and good will are in the best ira

No word of what was going or

rate of almost one an hour. the
little speeches went on. The re-

walk back to the rear platform
and listen for something new te
write about in their stories.
The general was getting better
as he went along. At Des Moines
where 10000 waited for him al
the State Capitol. he gave what
many reporters regarded as the
best speech of the campaign. The
lcrowd especially liked the par
where he ripped into the "in'

They whistled and yelled wher

Mundt Calls Attack
On Nixon a Maneuver
By Filthy Leftists
BY the Associated Press

Senator Mundt today labeled
the latest attack on Senator
Nixon as a filthy" maneuver by
left wingers. fellow travellers and
a former Communist.
The South Dakotan, co-chair-
man of the Republican Speakers
Bureau, said in a statement put
out by the G. o. p. national COM
mittee that neither the Commu-
nists nor the ADA (Americans for
Democratic Action like Dick
Nixon. He played a major part
in putting Alger Hiss in jail"
Stephen Mitchell, Democratic
national chairman, last night &C
cused Senator Nixon of being un-
ethical in accepting $4,000 in
contributions from constituents.
He suggested that Senator Nixon
withdraw from the vice presiden-
tial race.
Says Facts Were Twisted.
Senator Mundt retorted today
that this was smear tactics i.
filthy and beneath contempt"
Facts were taken and twisted
by the New York Post, a left-wing
smear sheet edited by James
WechSler, self admitted three
year member of the Young Com
munist League and now a member
of the radical ADA" Senator
Mundt said.
Mr.. Wechsler has acknowledged
that he was a member of the
Young Communist League in the
30s, but he has since disavowed
communism, blaming his former
association on his youth and
naivete.
Mr.. Wechsler and Wilson Wyatt,
campaign manager for Adlai Ste
venson. are members of ADA.
Stories Compared.
Referring to the New York Post
story on the Nixon contributions,
Senator Mundt said:
mo decent journalist would
have twisted copy in such a man
ner. Peter Edison of Scripps-
Howard, by contrast. said that
Senator Nixon had discussed the
matter frankly with him and had
nothing to hide.
This is the type of smear tao
tics Wechsler and the other left
wingers and fellow travellers have
learned so well how to use. Both
the origin of this matter, and the
collaborationist method by which
it is sought to make an issue of it,
are filthy and beneath contempt"
