order that the state commission can secure a larger amount of cash with which to pay salaries and expenses. It’s a poor year sor a this kind of busl- ' i ness. ’ The Fair Opens:— With the skies clear, with the temperature just as ordered by the man i agers, with every one smiling at the ; outlook for a big and happy week, the i Northern Indiana fair opened this 11 ,! morning and during the day a large ' crowd of people attended. The large number of exhibits, the livestock equalling a state fair, the thousands and one attractions makes the fair a sure winner this year as it has been in the past and those in charge deserve much credit. Do you realize that Col. Reppert and his assistants have worked for weeks to J make this event a success, have taken i all the chances to lose and with but lit- ' tie opportunity to make money. They are doing it for the community—to I help make this as it is—the greatest spot on the globe. To assure you that there is no profit we have the promise that every dollar earned will go back into the enterprise too make it bigger aiid better as the year go around. You need not be afraid to boost the fair. It deserves it and you owe it to yourself and your friends to attend, meet the folks, have a good time and benefit by visiting the farmer’s chau- , tauqua, watching the experts judge the stock, guessing on the races or kidding on the big mid-way and its a real midway. Will He Explain?— The Portland Republican recently demanded that Mr. Vestal explain satisfactorily the charges made by the . New York W’orld that he with one- * fourth of the members of congress had * accepted the salaries of others on the 1 pay roll and we understand that Mr. * Vestal’s explanation at Portland was

i very lama Indeed. The Republican r says in part:— The Portland republican does net • intend to uphold any man in public office, national, state or county, who to not absolutely houest aud clean In all his public actions, lie may make mistakes, he may pursue a wrong policy, but as long as he is honorable In 1 serving the electorate and sincere in his belief, he should be supported. If Mr. Vestal cannot refute these charges made against him to the satfsfactlim of the general public, then it might just as well be stated now and here, thnt The Portland Republican will n<M support Mr. Vestal at the coming November election. While this paper yields to no one in upholding the policies of the Republican party and in the belief of the sound and fundamental principles of this party, it does not believe in supporting any one who may be nominated by the party, regardless of his ability, his character, or of anything commending him for public office, except the fact that he is a Republican. These things—and many more—Mr Vestal should explain fully and freely, before he can come before the voters and conscientiously ask them to sup port him. He is warned that by just such tactics as he is using, for eight years a Democrat represented the Eighth district in Congress, and in this time of unrest, the seemingly improbable may easily happen again. ■Watch the sidewalk for dollars. 1-2 Jecatur Welcomes Many Visitors to Big Event (Continued from page one) American Red Cross has a tent on the fair ground and is prepared to care for the sick and injured, should there be any. There are five cots in the tent and a professional nurse. Miss Lydia Kirsch, a local girl, is in charge. Stretchers will be kept hi the grand stand for immediate use in case of an accident. There will be

five Boy Scouts in charge of the stretchers and to aid the Red Cross. The childrens wellfare tent is con ducted by the Red Cross also. Those , in charge of that tent are Miss Naomi Moyer of Decatur, and Miss Lipes. of indianapolois, sent here by the state board of health. In this tent, milk and crackers are served to the children free of charge and there are 1 plenty of chairs and amusements for them. One of the cottages belong ing to the Tuberculosis Society has been donated to the Red Cross to be used during the fair for the young babies while they are sleeping, and several baby baskets have been placed in it. Midway A Great Sight Midway, itself is an attraction worth traveling several miles to see. The Zeidman and Polite big Exposition Shows occupy a large amount of the space. These shows are of a high class order and are guaranteed to furnish fun and entertainment for all. Among the many sights to be seen on the midway are Lady Fancheon, the $50,000 educated horse which has been exhibited in European countries! a wild west show and eircus; a minstrel show; a trained animal show; an athletic arena; the bug house; and the money speeders. The Ziedman and Pollie shows form an | extensive and varied body of enterI tainments, of a high class order. In addition to the Ziedman and PolI lie shows, there are scores of concesI sions of every discription on both I sides of the driveway. There are I many churches, ladies’ aid societies, I and social organizations who have eating and drinking stands on the I ground.
