The success of Hancock county stockmen at the New Castle Fair has again aroused the spirit for a county fair here. A stockman said this week that if a fair were held in Hancock county the people would be greatly surprised at the amount of stock, and the fine standard of stock which would be exhibited. He said the improvement of all kinds of stock had been wonderful. There are many people who would like to see a real good fair association. There never was a time when there was a greater incentive to exhibits of farm products. Exhibitions tend to stimulate production. Greater production in all farm products is needed and demanded. The prices are such as to encourage people to push the agricultural business. It seems to us that conditions are such as to make county fairs more successful than ever before, from strictly a business standpoint. That is to say nothing of the social feature of such an institution. County fairs are always great places for visiting and reunions of friends. A county fair should be strictly a farmers' institution. It seems to us that there ought to be enough young farmers and stoekraisers from 30 to 50 years old to form a fair association and make it a decided success. The movement would be a popular one, and with the prices of agricultural products as good as they are, and with money as plentiful as it is, it certainly would be an easy matter to get enough money subscribed to put such an institution on a successful financial basis. Such institutions are not sustained for the purpose of making money directly. It is only to stimulate the agricultural industries that fairs are maintained. That is where the money is made. Men who subscribe for the institution should not expect any direct profit on the subscription. Tf a man should contribute $100 or $200 to found a fair association, he should not expect any interest on the investment. He should be content if he aided in making a county fair a success. We are sure a fair could be made a success. It will take some push and enterprise, but there is more real reason for a fair in Hancock county now than at any other period in her history.
There are more people .killed by automobiles and motorcycles than are killed by trains and street cars. Notwithstanding the rigid laws enacted to protect people from fatalities by motor machines, drivers persist in taking chances which cause great loss of life. A Greenfield railway postal clerk says that Train No. 18, eastbound, on which he was working a few days ago, killed a woman near Newark, Ohio. The flagman did all he could to prevent the automobile driver from crossing the track in front of the train, but he would do it, and did get across, but his wife became frightened and jumped out, and was struck and killed. Her death was due solely to the desire of the husband to cross the track in front of the train. Drivers are responsible for many of the accidents, and they should be restrained from taking chances which involve such great hazards. With the fast-pow-er cars now in general use, everybody must have a care on the highways.
Frank C. Gibbs, whose death occurred Early Thursday morning, was one of the most careful and highly respected young business men of this city. He was a candid and sincere man in all his transactions, and he commanded the confidence of all men with whom he -transacted business. He was succeeding in business because he followed those business methods which bring success. His death is not only .a loss to his family, but it is a loss -to the entire community.
It is said that there are not so many stock and feeding cattle on the market at Indianapolis as it was supposed there would be, after so much douthy weather in many sections. One man who went from Greenfield to the stockyards the past week, saw only four steers, such as he wanted to buy, the day Jhe was there. He wanted steers to Meed.
The State of Indiana will get from the Secretary of Treasury of -the United States, $1,050,000 to aid in the movement of the crops. We do not know how much occasion there is for this, but we are sure that it will be popular with the people.

MURAT THEATER
Shubert Murat Theater, Indianapolis, one week, starting September 1st, with matinees daily. Amazing motion pictures. The Greatest Adventure Story ever told. Ca.pt. Scott's Ill-Fated Pilgrimage to the South Pole, by Herbert G. Ponting, official photographer.
The hardships, pleasures, failures and triumphs. The comedy, the tragedy of this world-famed scientific expedition in quest of the South Pole are all vividly depicted and lucidly explained in the most absorbingly interesting two-hour entertainment ever offered the public.
The undying story of Capt. Scott. No motion pictures yet exhibited have so profoundly stirred the American people as those which were taken in Antarctica, by Herbert G. Ponting, F. R. G. S., the official photographer of the British Antarctic Expedition, which cost its gallant leader, Capt. Robert Falcon Scott and his four colleagues their lives.
These pictures carry the spectator along with the expedition from the time the sturdy old whaler, the "Terra Nova" left Port Chalmers, New Zealand, until Capt. Scott, Dr. Wilson, Lieut. Bowers, Capt. Oates and Petty-Officer Evans were at the very South Pole itself on January 18th—only five weeks later than Capt. Amundsen, whose tent is seen still standing.

INDIANA CORN CROP GOOD
Grain Man From That State Comments on Situation.
Elwood Morris, of Greenfield, Ind. is here buying stock heifers. Mr. Morris is the owner of a grain elevator at that place, and is an extensive cattle and hog feeder. "Last week," Mr. Morris stated, "I made an automobile trip to the north jof where I live, covering fourteen counties and twelve county seat towns, and in every one of those counties" I saw bumper corn crops. Where I live we have had just a little too much rain. Corn is beginning to harden, and is bound to be good. Then we had a good hay crop, and wheat was also very how good."—Drovers Telegram, Kansas
