all for you anil you will have ncjh trouble getting all the assistance you f, need for a repeater next yeai*. « One of the exhibitors at the big fair declared last evening that with- r in five years the Northern Indiana |. will boa mitirtnul event rather than |, a county or state show. Without t doubt the first fair under the new organization was the greatest county fair ever held in the middle west. H -■ - t After all there is no feature equal , to an old home coining when the in- tvital ions are responded to as they have been this year. Nine hundred ] registered and perhaps as many more failed to do so. Hundreds of people met old friends again and each visit- | or is leaving wiht a good taste in his j mouth and the memory of a very happy week. Come again folks to the best town and county in the s state. We want you and as Col. Rep t . put said if you will tear up your re- t turn ticket home and stay here ; ( where you belong, you can have a i ! check for the money invested. i I Great credit is due the Red Cross ( organization for the splendid work i at the fair grounds this week. The 1 - station took care of nearly Ist* peo 1 ■ pie who were either sick or injured 1 r and who would either have had to I suffer great inconvenience on tin s grounds or have been rushed to the city. Often serious developments are prevented by first aid and the s people should appreciate the efforts / and splendid success of the tent host pital at the fair. Another great sea . ture was the child welfare depart i ment where the children were look- - ed after with care and many mothr ers were given a chance to rest and I an opportunity to really . enjoy the i fair. Besides this the work of the

u.ii ii board was excellent und the I feature of taking care of human as | well as live stock was worth while. I — Baek of this fair was the thing that really produced this form of enter-j tainment many years ago, lhat of urging greater and better farm production. The clmutauqua under Mr. Green's supervision was certainly a • big part of the week and hundreds secured free of charge, information that should bring back to them many. times over, the cost of attending the fair. Tlie Judging of stock and the , talks by experts, was high class and t participated in by the greatest men . if the .country. The Northern Indiana will win because the purpo&L* is big and clean and worth accomplish- ' ing. The board of review took the only ! sensible course in disposing of the tax muddle, avoiding many complies lions that in the end would have' proven more expensive and caused | much inconvenience and delay. It’s i a nasty dose but we had to swallow it. If the people wish more of it and | even worse they will continue the re-1 publicans in power in the state. If they want a relief they can have it' by electing the democrats who have promised a new law and one that will work. The efforts of the recent special session show how ridiculous it is to try to patch up the present law. It can't be dime and it won’t be done by the republicans who have put themselves in the hole and each: time they try to crawl out slip back further than they advance as did the frog in the old arithmetic problem.

The Mule Races One of the events of the races which produced much amusement was the mule race Friday with ' Forst Ohler. Jacob Musser, Willie Bates Fred Ahr, Dallas Reppert, Jack Brunton and others up. The mules backed and turned and got oft' the track and into the park and did every thing expected of a mule. In one of he heats Jack Brunton's mule tired if- losing cut across the field and ame in ahead of the bunch, closely nursued by Fred Ahr who also cut the corners. Judge Madden fined -ach of the boys $25.00, suspended , under good behavior and set them back but gave Jack Brunton sth j place ahead of Fred Ahr because his mule came in first. The farmer's races yesterday afternoon and night were also great and the crowd was delighted with, the big program, something doing! -very minute. It was some fair. WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s

Those people who lost articles, hats I coats or other wearing apparel on jthe fair grounds and which were returned to the Red Cross station, can I get them next week, beginning Monday at the public library. A ladies' hat was found at the booth yesterday and taken to the Dr. Connell home on Moirroe street. The owner may have same by calling at the Connell home. Mrs. Connell said, in behalf of the Red Cross chapter, that she wished to thank Black & Getting for the chairs and tables which they furnished for the booth and also for the cut rate prices given the patient when conveyed in their ambulance. it was a splendid move on the part of the Red Cross to conduct the first aid station and the public appreciated it. It was just a part of the great . fair. ———————— _ FOR VACATIONS AND SUMMER TRIPS Strange food, hurried eating when traveling, too heavy diet for hot weather—numerous causes contrib ute to deranged digestion in summer time. Salts and castor oil are all right, but many persons cannot take them. Foley Cathartic Tablets are wholesome and thoroughly cleansing. Act surely and gently, without griping or nausea. They relieve sick headache, biliousness, bloating, sour -t-iinai-li. and tone up a torpid ljver.
