The Cass County Fair
and Other £airs.
frirst, I will knention the Dis
brict Fair fib Marshall, on the
isSOth to 25th of Sept. inclusive,
tt'ere perbapte was gathered to-
other one of the greatest dis-
plays of Agricultural products,
poultry and livestock ever as-
sWfabted in East Texas. Many
Counties, comthunities and indi-
viduals taking part in making
the Fair at Marshall a success.
Among other counties, Cass
county exhibited there winning
Cth place, dt this time the Tri-
State Fair was in progress at At-
lanta. faiia Fair also was a
'great stifcess. Mdtty communi-
ties and individuals exhibiting a
tvonderfiil array of agricultural
products, poultry and live stock.
Mt\ Q. D. Holland, his board of
directors; Atlanta Chamber of
Coriimerce, Citizens Journal and
many others deserve special men-
tion for didking the Tri-State
jb'air a success; also the spirit of
co-operation shown by those who
gaVe of their time, labor and
money to ftather tdgether the
things necessary to make this
Juir possible, deserve special cred-
it.
Following the Tri-State Fair
tomes the ('ass County Fair at
Linden. To fay that this Fair
tt-as a success, but mildly express-
es the feeling of the Fair Manage-
hient. Many cummunities and
individuals deserve (Special men-
tion here, but it is sufficient to
say that the Fair Management
inspli-ed by the hearty spirit of
co operation and helpfuluess of
the people of Cass County, are
ndw preparing for bigger and
better things another year. This
Fair has grown to be one of the
best County Fairs in all Texas.
Next the District Fair at Pitts-
blirg. Here also was gathered
together a wonderful display of
dll things necessary to make a
Fair. At this Fair Cass County
bad two county booths, one the
white peoples exbib?t and one the
colored. Here the Cass County
products also maide a wonderful
show. The white booth spon-
sored by the progressive commu-
nity of Cartervilto won second
f)lace. Horacc Boon, Walter
Humphrey, Ed and Carl' Cates,
Mr. and Mrs. Coyne, Mr. Pierce
Cates and bthers who gave their
time, money and labor to this
should have the dh'anks of all
Cass County. The colored booth
Sponsored by (J. W. Allen and
Mary RutMer, won first place
Over all comers and these pro-
gressive colored people are also
entitled to the thanks of all Cass
County for their untiring and un-
selfish service.
Next come the Fair of all Fairs,
4he State Fair of T£kas held at
Dallas, Texas. Here [ierhaps was
gathered together a display of
agricultu'ral products, poultry,
live stock, art, needle work, can-
ning. manufactured articles and
ttiany other things, encluding the
boys, girls and women ftub work,
that has never been excelled at
any time and place. H?fere Cass
County with her County booth
met all comers and carried off
seventh honors, froftv JMHi* m
State Fair of Lolilslana, at
Shreveport, another wonderful
fair. Here Cass County met and
'competed with East Texas, again
carrying off a ribbon that donat-
ed fifth place.
The worth of fairs as an adver-
tising medium can not be over
estimated. More than a million
and half of people have this year
had an opportunity to see Cass
County as she has been on dis-
play at these different fairs.
This article could not be justly
closed without giving special
mention and thanks to a few of
those who have worked so untir-
ingly and unselfishly to bring
Cas8 County and her products be-
ford the world. First we would
mention Miss Lena Itay, County
Home Demonstration Agent,
and C. L. Littlepage, Couuty
Agent, the best County and
Home Demonstration Agents in
the State. The work of these two
throughout the year placed Cass
County far out in the lead of all
other counties iu State contest,
that is runuing for a period of
five years. Space forbids that 1
try to make mention of all the
good things that co'uld be said
about these two. But I must
say that so far as laboring with
the Fairs is concerned, they gave
of their time day or uight never
growing tired of doing, nor com-
plaining about the hard task,
and their knowledge of show
products is unsurpassed.
Next we would mention C. It.
Newland, another busy man that
never shirks a duty or refuses a
helping hand. His help was in-
valuable in this work and his wfll-
ingn(3S8 to work day or night,
was au inspiration to all to toil
on and grow not weary in well
doing. A man of this type who
gives of his time money and abil-
ity to help sow seed of progress
in his town, county and state,
will sometime realize and feel the
welcome plaudit, "Well done."
Many communities and other
individuals made our success
possible, but space forbids any
more at this time.
All together for a better Cass
County.

A CAUTIOUS CHARACTER
A Newton m'an carnfe in and
satr] he had an ftera fof the au-
tomobile page". He said he went
for a ride to several towns vJith a
friend and in the coarse of the
journey had to crosa several
railroads. "At every crossing,"
the Newton man declared, "that
fellow would dlow up, look both
ways up aud dojyu the tracic,
and if there was a train coming
any where in sight he would stop'
the car aud wait for the train to
pa$s. I asked him why he 'was
so careful and he looked sur-
prised and said he always did
t'Erat. He s^id he saw an auto-
mobile try to butt a train off the
tra6k once and was convinced
that it could not be done. Be
sides tbat, he said his wife prom
ised to have strawberry short-
cake for supper that night and
he dirt not want to die before

The Human Machine
At Fault.
More than 7,000 children were
killed last year iu auto accidents
It's a disgrace to our vaunted
civilization. Two-thirds of
these children were pedestrians
when killed. This 7,000 does
not take into account that dur-
ing this sande time that 341,200
children were more or less seri-
ously injured from the same
cause. These figures should im
press every parson who drives a
car witli' the tremendous respon-
sibility that attaches. Mr. Up'
ham, of the American Road
Builders' Association, has made
a niost exhaustive curvey of the
reasons for oar many auto acci-
dents and makes this significant
statement.
"Less than 5 per cent of all ac-
cidents are the result of faulty
mechanism or improperly de-
signed roads and streets. The
human machine is responsible
for the remaining 9& per cent of
the accident total."—Marshall

Moon Farming.
Moon farming, according to
the Weather Bureau, is "moon-
shine." It has absolutely no
support from any scientific point
of view. By "moon farming3' is
meant sowing or reaping, breed-
ing or butchering, shingliug or
shearing, or any other farm ac- OELfoELFfifj Gril*l
tivities supposed to be affected
by the -'dark" or the "light" or
some other phase of the moon.
The chief thintrs affccting thfc
growth of crops at any stage are:
Temperature and moisture, con-
ditions of soil aud air; composi-
tion of adjacent atmosphere;
kind aud intensity of light; pres-
ence; or absence and severity of
plant disease; mechanical condi-
tion of soil, loose or compact;
fertility of the soil, aud quantity
of other vegitation, or wepds
present: Meteorologists can
show that the moon has nothing
to do with any of these condi-
tions affecting crops, h has no
influence on weather or soil with
any of these conditions affecting
crops.—Ex.
2,492 Ptihsdfis Killed
at Railway Chossings:
Atlanta, Ga.—Local railway
executives have issued the follow-
ing statement on "The Automo-
bile at the Railroad Crossing" as
part of its campaign to reduce
grade crossing accidents:
Iu the United States, 22,040,-
957 automobiles are registered.
There are 232,755 railroad high-
way Crossings,
In i925, there were 2,492 per-
sons killed and 6,991 injured at
railroad-highway, crossings. In
the same period 20,819 were kill-
ed and 600,000 in automobile ac-
cidents upon the highways.
The elimination of railroad-
highway crossings at grade
would end crossing accidents.
Generations of time aud nineteen
billions of dollars would be in-
volved in such a project. All
public crossiug signs. Many
have advanced warning signs.
The ratio of killed and injured
to automobiles registered is as
follows:
One fatality at railroad cross-
ings to 11,201 cars; one fatality
on higway to 1,001 cars; one in-
jury at railroad crossiug to 3,-
381 cars: one injury on highway
to 39 cars,
There were 202 persous killed
and 1,430 injured by running in-
to sides of trains last year. Rail-
road enginemen are trained, se-
lected and disciplined, Are au-
tomobile drivers?—Ex.
"Let's All Play Ball
When boys of town and coun-
try meet together in frequent
and friendly games, as will .be the
case this winter when the county
wide basketball league gets go-
ing, there will develop friendships
and* Mutual understanding that
will be a mighty factor for har-
mony in years to come. Basket
ball is one of the finest and clean-
est of all the sports, and gives
abundant opportunity for the
exhibition of individual sports-
manship.
Time was when it would have
been difficult to get the boys of
town and rural communities to-
gether ou the frequent occasious
which are planned in the basket-
ball league. The passing of the
old feeling that there must be ill.
feeling between town and coun-
try is more and more evident.
This \s as it should be, for after
all?it needs only the more fre-
