Chicago THE TOWN YOU LIKE: — Something like a decade ago the idea took hold all over the country that aspiring towns should advertise. I

So universally boards of commerce and citizens' committees and town councils began to think up slogans and the world was exhorted to “Watch Wiukville Win." and "Boost for Ringtown." For a long time the making of the slogan seemed to be about all that was done in these local advertising enterprises. It never seemed to occur to anybody that people don't rush to a town and plead to be permitted to stop there because of its slogan. Many of the places having the most enticing slogans also had the most wretched hotel accommodations. it was the common remark among those who attempted to drive an automobile through the country that the improved roads of the township were vastly safer and better than the main streets of the villages. These were frequently left so full of holes and ruts and so cut up with elevated crosswalks that to drive a motor car over them faster than 10 miles an hour was a perilous performance- Nevertheless at the entrance to nearly every village was the hostile warning that anyone driving faster than a certain speed would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. And village constables and justices of the peace were frequently in a league of watchful waiting to make

good the threat. All this has changed now. A new spirit of hospitality is spreading. Nearly every town and village likes to he known lot its couitesy to tourists. Pavements are of the best. Signs at the. city limits welcome the stranger and hint without offense that his self-restraint in observing the local speed regulations will be appreciated. The slogan is not necessary in such towns. The stranger not only I watches but wishes th H growth of a community in which he has been sol kindly treated. Its a ciban and high class fair and I the people have enjoyed it immensely. The farm display, th e poultry, the auto and business display are interesting indeed, the art hall, the Conn display of musical instruments, the school exhibits. Purdue’s show, the farm machinery, the sheep and cattle, the midway and the rest of it. make a worth-while entertainment for any one who cares to keep posted with ■what their coun-ty is doing. W e congratulate Mr. Williamson. He has proven his ability and if given the support of an organization covering the county, can produce here the best fairs held any where. And we ought to giv 3 itSeveral automobile accidents this week should again remind drivers that they can't be too careful.

It's a splendid thing for the young folks, a publicity work worth doing, a great plan figured from the standpoint of business. You may have seen fire works in , your time and good ones, but we i doubt seriously if you have ever wit-

inessed a more brilliant or interesting on e than those being given each eve3 ning of the fair. We have heard j| \ t reveral people who attended the state fair say that the fireworks here are far superior to those given at the i state exposition last week and no taxes arc raised to pay the bills here. The Dunbar band of Berne is one of the best musical organizations in , the state and their playing at the fair , yesterday was an entertainment in itself. Any city, any county can well bp proud of such a band and if you didn’t like their work you can't be pleased by good music. The Geneva band is likewise a very splendid one and old Adams county need not back up along this line for any in the middle west. At the Radio World Fair now on in New York they are cooking eggs in frying pans placed on cakes- of ice through action of waves which penetrate the ice. A wireless lamp , is used and to show that its perfectly harmless the bulb is lighted through a man's head. it’s quite possible that in another decade the eoal miners and operators may have plenty of time to settle their controversies.

Reduction of the salaries of Richard Lieber and two of his aides in state conservation department by one third probably indicates that they don’t care particularly about their services. From what little we have heard the state machine is hot hitting on all fours and most anything .may happen most any time. « Th t . weather man was good yesterI day and thousands of people took •advantage of the day and attended | the fair. And it was a happy and • pleased crowd. , o • TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ From the Daily Democrat Hie ♦ ♦ Twenty years ago thia day ♦ Krick * Tyndall are having their factory wired for electricity and will add a rt’ght force.
