One of the Interesting tents on the Street Fair grounds this week is that of the Adams County Farm Bureau where you may check your bundles if you desire, visit with friends and listen to a program of merit. Extra police and traffic men are j assisting in handling the crowds this week. If you desire information ask one of the special officers and they will be glad to aid you. These officers wil also see that order is kept and that every one gets a square deal. The big fair was formally opened yesterday when Mayor Krick welcomed visitors and turned the key of, the city over to them. We hope and believe that all will enjoy the pro- j gram arranged and we assure them | that the folks at home are glad to; have them and will do all they can to make them have the best time ever. It is expected that more than fifty people will make a try in the Guggenheim Foundation contest to win a portion of the SIOO,OOO offered for the best suggestion in safety appliances for aircraft. We need something for at the rate the fliers are being killed these days a lot of us have a notion its safer to keep at least one foot on the ground. Alfred E. Smith, as head of the corporation which will build an eightystory building on the site of the famous Waldorf-Astoria in New York City to house 60,000 people, will have a better paying job with less responsibility than if he had been elected president. The new hotel will cost $60,000,000 and will be the finest in the world. Perhaps the finest thing about a Street Fair or any other kind of public holidays are the opportunities to relax. If we can do that we reap a benefit for too many of us get the habit of working and keep it up until we get into a rut. Have a good time this week. Watch the free acts, attend the shows, join the midway crowd, josh with the rest of them, visit the exhibits and just have a "crdckin’ ’’ good time. It will make it easier to get back into the harness next week. Have you visited the stock tents': If not you have a happy surprise in store lor each exhibit is filled with as line stock as you ever saw. Years ago we were used to seeing displays of real horses but many of us had an idea that our farmers had quit raising them. Step down to Schlick man’s barn and look them over ani see If you don't agree with us thai Adams county still has the fines horses in the middle west. And the cattle, hogs, poultry, pet stock, farn products and all the other exhibit! are more than worth while. Don't miss any of them. Fans are guessing on what Bab' Ruth’s salary will be after this yea and whether or not he will get mor than a one year contract. His thre year agreement at $70,000 per aimur will close October 3rd and the ucj morning will find the famous hom run swatter on the carpet. It i thought he can easily secure one yea at SIOO,OOO but will probably hold ot for a longer term. He has earned

for the Yankees over and over and whatever he gets will please the majority of fans if Its larger than any one has ever received. He ought to have it for no man ever drew so many dollars iuto a ticket office as has Ruth. The last known soldier pf the Mexican war died last week, bringing the reflection that soon the survivors of the Civil war will vanish. This week they are on their way to the annual reunion at Portland, Me. Already the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic have been thinned down to a mere skirmish line. Yet the vitality of the few suggests the stalwart youth than went forth to war in the sixties. We wonder if something of reverence has not been lost by abbreviating to the initials the name of this group of heroes? “Grand" is an overworked word in America. Our hotels, our railroads, our operas, our buildings. our every considerable enterprise are "grand.” Some of them really are grand, but the word means little because it has become a mere handle to a name. But the Grand Army! It is a lofty and swelling thought. It was a grand army, an army of young men that battled through years to save a Union that became a world power for human ad-

vancement. It Is easily within recall that the encampments of this army were the chief events of their years. To the survivors the meager numbers assembling at Po-tland will remind the,veterans of grekt throngs of men In blue, but 4bere will still be a scared significance to the gathering of tens and hundreds where there once were thousands. They are handing on the torch to another vast army that answered the call to arms, and the Grand Army of the Republic will live in memory and history long after the drums become silent and the battle flags are furled.—lndlanapolia News. ——— o — — - — * TWENTY YEARS AGO * • From the Daily Democrat Fi e * * Twenty Years Ago Today • ••••*••***•••••• Sept. 11— Three draymen fined in mayor’s court for failure to take out licenses.
