THE COUNTY FAIR: — This is the season for county fairs, perhap* the Most popular event in thousands of territories throughout the United States. Properly conducted they are wonderful affairs, entertaining. instructive and delightful in a hundred ways. We believe the Northern Indiana fair to be held this year will have more features of interest to every one than any fair held here in several years. Yon will want to attend and by the way have you ever given any attention to the origin of the count}' fair and its history in America’ tn 1810, one fair; in 1925, 2,000 fairs. In 1810, an attendance of about &.O0O; in 1925. an estimated attendance of approximately 25,000.000. These figures in a nutshell, tell the story of the marvelous growth of the American fair from the humblest beginning to its presentday status as an important factor in agricultural education. They arc of nnpccial interest here in view of the approaching Decatnr fair, which . will be held next month. While the fair idea has been taken hold of tremendously in the United States, it is not native to this country. Fairs run back to ancient days, but in the olden times they were more after the .manner of a bazar or market, only held with less frequency, very much like the fairs in yogU" in Germany and other I European Countries today. The Amcri qan fair trades jits ancestry' back, only to about the middle of the eighteenth century, when a group of progressive farmers in the Tecs river valley in northwestern Britain joined to bring their live stock together for • comparison. It has been termed the lii-ft a.«iculiuiui lair and was the model after which wore patterned th"-' hundreds of county fairs, both here and in England. A Kansn judge has the right .-.y.c t‘in and shows his good sense. Two boys aged nine and twelve respectively. were brought before him for rob- • bing a candy store. When h<- scolded them, they grinned, so he took th'-m over bis. knee, asked for bis hard pice paddle with which Im bad reared his own softs and gave them one they will remember for tome time. He told the truth uo doub’, ■"hen be said ‘The rcaton you boy; ar<- j n trouble is because you haven't had enough of this treatment.” It was a lot |)cttcr than sending them to the reform school and lie did what a lot of parents ought to be doing, fvhen he look the lads over his knees. We have got almost away from the old mush paddle wood shed, hickory switch, and that’s one reason why things arc topsy turvy. Dorothy Ellingson, sixteen year old kipper in San Francisco, killed her mol her a fe w months ago, Ilion went to a dai co with her sheik. She was trk-d in court the other duv and her lawyer, plead insanity for her. She stoutly denied it but they went through w ith the case and the jury returned a verdict that she is sane and guilty of manslaughter and gave her a ssnteace ot from one to ten years in prison.

Such ver diets, like the Loeb and Leopold case and others, make more difficult the crime problem which has grown so rapidly uu d has now become the greatest menace of the nation. A tax reduction of ten cents on tb>city of Decatur is the program ae cording to the budget which has been agreed upon by the city officials and which will be regularly adopted next month. That's a splendid start and, a worth while record for the administration which has at the same time kept up with progress, building a number of new streets, putting in ornamental lights on several streets, building a public swimming pool, improving the city plant and doing a number of other things which cost money and which ad<k to the city. They deserve credit, plenty of it, for the life of a public official is not a bed of roses. IV c find fault frequently but we rarely band out flowers. Well, well, gaspline drops two cents, according to announcement made today. The cause is given as “competitive competition” whatever that meane. If wo find out just what It is and where it is located, perhaps we can dig up some more of it. The city budget includes one item of paiticular interest, namely, ten dollars for boarding city prisoners at the jail. A few years ago that item was always an important one, amount ing to several hundred o—(Big Features Os < RADIO Programs Today ?
