F. A. Trowbridge, ia Tests Farm
aad Ranch, writing about County Fair*
•aye :
That many county fairs have been
successful aod see yet before them ma-
ny new fields of opportunity, forcibly
telh that there is a duty and a promi-
nent place for the county fair, proper-
ly managed aod supported. It may
be said here that the managing board, j
in most caaes. labors loog and inces-
santly to build up a creditable exhibit
Of a county, its ideals, resources, wealth
and prosperity. Io far too many cases
the support which they receive from‘
a lucat of the county is half-hearted j
and lacks enthusiasm.
What, then, are the objects of a
county fair I Why does it exist?—
What should be its ideals ? What
should be the attitude of the public
toward it I What good can a do the
public ? What good can it do the in-
dividual ?
The first object of a county fair is
education It furnishes a place for
exploitation of public and individual
achievement and public resource*. It
eaiats because of a public demand for
such an institution. Its ideals should
he to set high moral and industrial
standards. Its attitude toward the
public should be; to educate, to raise
ideals and standards to a higher level;
to point out natural wealth; to empha-
sise opportunities for incresrcd pros-
perity. It can do the public good just
in proportion to the support which it
receives from the public. The good
which it can do the individual depends
largely upon hit support. The county
fair cannot benefit and it better off.
without the presence or participation
of the individual or set of individuals
who have, in their owu opinion, noth-
ing to learn and only boisterous and
ungentlemanly criticism to give. To
the individual who attends or exhibits
in a public-spirited way, the county fair
furnishes an opportunity to study the
best results of production and skill and
(hereby tel new standard* toward which
he may work; gives new ideas for de-
velopment of hit special line of work;
points out new fields of opportunity for
profit and pleasure; furnishes a meant
of good, healthy and friendly competi-
tion. 1-astly, it should furnish much
enthusiasm to future attainment
Many have watched the new exhibi-
tor take defeat and have teen him come
back the next year and win the prtiet
of competition. This type of man it a
living example of the great benefit dc
rived from county fairs.
| A state fair is to a state as a
fair is to a county. It it bi|

and will tic supplanted by buttermilk

"We denounce ihe doctrine," de-
clared the democrats of Dawson coun-
ty, “that a public ecmaot should not
be bound by the demands made by hi*
party, in the event such demand* are
io conflict with hie const ieo< e. believ-
ing that such doctrine it dangerous
aod, if adhered to. will operate to
thwart the will of tke people aod des-
troy the democratic party ”
That ought to become one of the
fixed and unchallenged iroeta of demo-
cratic creed. men so skill-
ed in the arts of sop&siry that they can
obscure, aod thus weaken, the signifi-
cance of that declaration; but until
truth becomes destructible there is no
man who can refute it ia an honest ar-
gument. That is a doctrine which the
people of this country can not afford
to surrender, or 'even to compromise,
if they are to continue to assert their
right to direct their owa government.
That doctrine is the very foundation
of our insututioot. All cite, men and
measures, may be sacrificed before the
people can afford to compromise this
fundamental principle.
If platforms are aot to be obeyed
they ought not to be made. There is
no sophistry to consummate that it can
establish the cootrary of that truth—
For if platforms are subject to the ap-
proval of the men rntyga the people put
io office, then officeholders are not the
servants, but the masters of the people
In that state of the case the people
could expect no more from them than
that their petitions erflght lie vouchsaf-
ed consideration by the officers whom
the people have created. The sub-
jects of an emperor enjoy that K-uo ,

To dear rooms of flies carbolic acid
may be used as follows : Heat a shov-
el or any similar article aod drop there-
oo twenty drops of carbolic acid. The
vapor kills the flies.

can be bought at any drug store, m
two ouocea of water, and add a little
sugar. Put some of Uus solution in
shallow diahea. aod distribute them a-
bout the house.
A spoonful of formalin or formalile-
hyde in water, put into a quarter of a
pint of water and eiposeri in the room,
will be eoough to kill all the flies.
To quickly dear the room where
there are many flies, burn pyrethrum
powder ia the room. This stupefies
the flies and they may be swept up and
burned.
If there are flies in the dining room
of your hotel, restaurant, or boarding
bouse, complain to the proprietor that
the premises are not dean.

The following resolution vu eosni-
mously adopted by the dcmocrtti<
convention of Howard county last
week t
-Whereat, there hat been a severe
drouth estendwg almost all through
the western part of the stole, which
makes it almost impossible for the pur-
chasers of school lands to pay the in-
terest to the State of Texas oa the first
of November nest, aad if they arc re-
quired to pay same when due. it will
result m the forfeiture of a great many
lands m west Texas aad thereby cause
the foes of homes to a great many ac-
tual settlers. Therefore be it resol-
ved. that we request Governor Camp-
bell to submit to the legislature the
passage of a bill extending the time of
the payment of the interest for at least
one year from Nov 1. 1910 "
