ALL ABOARD FOR THE COUNTY FAIR. The annual count' fair, that great institution in which all farmers glory and without which no farming community would be complete, is in our midst again. From now on until Saturday it may be expected that the roads leading into Crown Point, will be swallowed up In dust, the result of the caravan of traffic swarming out toward the fair grounds. And all roads lead to Crown Point in fair time. There is a popular tradition among old fashioned folk, that these events are not what they once were. Croakers who hark back to the day of the one ring circus, and deplore the present dazzling complex affair, are prone to tell us, that the county fair is no longer a county fair. TTiey complain that it is given over to too great an extent to the fakir, the balloon ascension artist, and the side show generally. That there is too little of agriculture, and too much of extraneous features, and that altogether the "institootion" has lost much of its quaint charm. This may be more or less true. But so have the times lost their quaint charm. The farmer himself has lost his quaint charm. We live in an age of electricity, steam and gas, and the tiller of the soil has not escaped from its influence. Instead of bundling Mandrr and the young ones into the big box wagon, with a couple of over-worked crow-bait steeds as the motive power, Mrs. Josiah Jones now springs lightly into the comfortable 3urrey and with Gladys, Marie and Gwendolyn beside her, and a pair of smart drivers ahead, "repairs" to the scene of the festivities. Or better still she does her repairing in a forty horse-power touring car. For even farmers do not altogether scorn these pesky contrivances in these piping days of peace and prosperity. The farmer himself eschews the wisp of beard which in the old days was wont to adorn the nethermost extremity of his facial features. He shaves like city folk. A biled shirt has taken the place of the quaint, but unlovely garment known to fame as the "Hick'ry" and his collar button is concealed by a tie. Of course this does not apply to all farmers. There are a few of the old timers left, bless them, to make the connecting link between

the country fair of yesterday and today.

But the county fair has merely undergone the evolution which is com

mon to all things of this age. Ti. i . . .

n nab ueen caugnt up in the tierce embrace of progress, and whirled along until now it represents an entirely new institution with a few of the old features to give it the countenance of the old name and the old patron

age. But it is what the children cf today want and it is all right. I A SPLENDID RECOMMENDATION.

ai a recent political meeting held in Indiana Harbor, certain speakers

took exceptions to Judge Hembroff on the grounds that he was the legal representative of such concerns as the Inland Steel company, the East Chicago company and similar corporations.

There are crimes far more heinous than this, and the arguments that

might be brought in favor of Judge Hembroff, because of his affiliations, are more to the point than are those which could be brought against him on the same grounds. In tho first place the fact that such corporations as the Inland Steel company and the East Chicago company, retain Judge Hembroff as their council, is as conclusive proof as any that he is possessed of both judgment and brains. It requires a man of these qualifications, to satisfactorily fill the chair of mayor of a city the size of East Chicago and Indiana Harbor. In the second place, it is scarcely likely that any "friend of the dear peepul," who takes the greatest exception to Judge Hembroff' s representing the corporations in connection with his race for the mayoralty, would turn down an opportunity to act in the same capacity, if the opportunity came his way. This being the case, the argument loses much of its force. It is quite the fashion for the thoughtless to decry the corporation lawyer. The term would seem to imply an enmity to the working masses. But if the demagogues who roar the loudest about the "corporations" would only reflect that it is the corporations which have made it possible for the "dear peepul" to exist, that it Is the corporations in fact that have made a place for the demagogues themselves to exist In. they might make less of a point of this time worn argument. If it were not for the East Chicago company, if it were not for such concerns as the Inland Steel company and others of the large corporations, what opportunity would there be for the "dear

i"'!,u oiaiuib id orate, say in inaiana iiftrbor, lor example. These cents require lawyers and endeavor to secure the best.

THE GREAT COUNTY DAILY. One of the TIME-" contemporaries in speaking of the paper calls it the "great county daily." Truer word was never spoken and the appellation is particularly apropos. In Hammond. Crown Point, Gary, Whiting, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor, Tolleston, Hobart, Lowell, Dyer, St. Johns, Miller Station, Lake Station, Highlands, Griffith. Munster, Glen Park. Hosford Park, Ross. Shelby, Stieglitz Park, Robertsdale, Hessville and Merrillviile, the TIMES is a welcome daily visitor. Take Crown Point as an instance. Nearly 200 people a day get the paper there and get their news from It. "Increase my order ten copies daily," was the order that came from Crown Point yesterday. Then again upon every rural route in the county, the TIMES is carried every day. Its circulation has grown amazingly in the past year. The Gary man who came from Crown Point, the Hammond man who came from Lowell, the Whiting man who has gone to Dyer to live and so on, ad finitum, all take the TIMES to keep posted. Our friends may smile at our idea of a metropolitan paper, but these facts are what is building up a splendid circulation.

OH WHAT WOULD THEY DO TO HIM? In lieu of other things to write about, Indianapolis newspaper correspondents are pushing Hanly's alleged senatorial candidacy to the fore with the patent desire of stirring up things. The efforts have been useless It is as hard to stir up any Hanly sentiment in Indiana as it Is for Otto Horman of Tolleston to lift himself up vsith his bootstraps. If the people of Indiana want Mr. Hanly to be their next senator, no woods have been set on fire neither has the welkin been made to ring because of the fact. If Hanly was a candidate for senator, we don't believe he could get over one delegate out of a hundred in Lake County to support any legislatorial candidate who would vote for him. It would be well for Mr. Hanly's friends to quit making us all laush. It is -carrying a joke too far.

BOBTVHITE ET AL. Who was it said, be would not num

ber among his friends any one who

needlessly set his foot upon a worm?

liuskin said, "I will not needlesslv

hurt or kill a living creature."

Until recent years birds were looked

upon by the farmers and fruit raisers as pests to be destroyed, and the small

boy s malignancy toward the soDg-

sters may perhaps be traced to that

feeling.

The agricultural department of the government Is doing much to educate the farmer into understanding that

me bird Is one of his best friends. Birds are weed seed and insect destroyers. The busy creatures wage constant war against the weeds. In the autumn the birds get nearly their entire Bustenance from the weed seeds. The 6waIlow family especially barrine

that pest, the English swallow-is one of the farmer's best helpers In the destruction of weeds. Eobwhite, the persistent, outspoken orator of the meadows, is also a loyal assistant. Some interesting statistics have been collected In the department concerning bob white. In Virginia and North CaroIIuu from Sept 1 to April 30 there are four of him to the square mile. The crop of each bird holds an ounce of seed In two meals a day, half being weed seed. It is then shown by actual figures that the total consumption of weed seed in the two states by this one bird is 1,341 tons annually! And there are others. In the spring bobwhite eats grasshoppers, chinch bugs, potato bugs, boll weevils, etc. In some places the appreciative farmers feed him in the cold winter in order to keep him around the premises? The robin? Well, to be sure, he eats some cherries and other fruit. But he is entitled to some. He has worked hard to rid the orchards and fields of millions of caterpillars and bugs. What is said about the swallow, the robin and bobwhite is more or less true of the other birds. Almost the entire food of their young comes from

insects and worms. Teach your child the value of the birds. During the early years tune his ears to an appreciation of their song. Call attention to their industry, their benuty and grace. Put some of the poetry of the springtime and bird song into his soul. Instead of the brutal propensity to kill, he will be a lifetime lover of the feathered family.

Spare the birds. They are kin to man, and they are his earnest, faithful helpers.

Freight traffic is becoming so heavy with several of the roads that some of them are planning to put on a night force at depots to have the freight moved promptly. As yet there seems to be plenty of cars, but the tonnage of freight with each day is showing a

considerable increase and fresh evidence is shown that there is to be a heavy fall traffic. VIOLATE CHILD LABOR LAW. Upon the complaint of David F. Specs of the state factory inspection department the Kaiin Tailoring company of Indianapolis was fined by Justice Hutchinson in six cases Monday for the violation of the "child labor" law. The charge was that the company employed six girls under 16 years of age without having on file in Its office the written consent of the parents of the girls and statements from their parents as to the date of their birth, etc., as provided in the law.
