DARKE COUNTY FAIR "Bl GGEST FAIR IN OHIO," DRAWS FARM RESIDENTS FOR FORTY MILES
' By WILLIAM R. SANBORN You don't have to prove to the people of Greenville, Ohio, or to any resident in a 40-mile radlous, that the Darke county fair Is the greatest county fair In Ohio. They all enthusiastically admit it. They tell you that there can be no room for argument. An4 more than this, "it is growing greater every year." Well, it looks that way. If you were on the grounds on Thursday, the "Big Day," and had you driven through a number of towns and hamlets, and by a thousand farm homes, enroute, only to find every store closed and every farm house locked up, you would conclude that a whole lot of people had gone somewhere for the day.
Arriving at tne fair grounds you
would discover these people circulat
ing all over the well appointed and
shaded acreage. You would find them in the permanent live stock buildings
and tents; in the poultry display
building; in horticultural hall; in an
overflowing grandstand, listening to
the band, here, there and everywhere, from 8 in the morning through the
entire day. 8ixty-Flfth Annual Fair.
The sixty-fifth annual Darke county fair closes on Friday evening, allowing
-all day Saturday for the removal of
exhibits; Thursday is the "great day", every year . On Thursday of last year 60.000 people were on the grounds, the record until yesterday. This has been the banner week In the fair's history, according to the officials. A Greenville man who noted the crowds and number of autos parked Inside the grounds last year, said that another parking section had been added this year, that it was completely occupied on Thursday, and that there were probably 70,000 people on the grounds at three o'clock. In this, J. E. Folkerth, president, coincided, except that he said the official count of receipts and tickets, including those of exhibitors and employes, would probably swell the nunjber to 75.000. On being ased where all these people could possibly come from he said he hadn't figured that out, but he felt sure be was about right in his estimate. Mr. Folkerth Judged there were
about 40,000 on the grounds on Wednesday and close to 15,000 on Tuesday. He said that this bettering the fair from year to year was an expensive problem and that this constant adding of conveniences and attractions explained the persistent growth and ever-increasing popularity. Greenville has a trifle less than one-third the population of Richmond. Poland China Pig Club Sale. The tops from 20 Darke county Poland China herds were represented in the boys' and girls' pig club sale on the grounds on Thursday afternoon. There were; 54 entries and the sale was held under the auspices of the breeders' association. The sale tent was packed with Poland fanciers and relatives of the youngsters, the latter usually appearing in the sale ring with their pets. The first, prize gilt was farrowed on March 8. 1920. in a litter of 12. was named Thelma's Choice, was fed by Thelma Wolfe and was bought by Ros-
coe Best for $125. The second prize gilt, owned by Coda Disher, cost Frank Williams of Wayne county $100. Mollie Fashion, the third prize gilt, was owned by H. D. Gettinger, and H. B. Hole got her for $82.50.

FLASHLIGHT OF THIEVES IN ACTION, NEWEST WAY LEXINGTON. Ky.. Aue. 27. In the
future burglars and thieves had better
beware how they ply their nocturnal trade. John Doty, a photographer has in his possession a perfectly good likeness of a negro boy. Thieves have visited Doty's chicken house and some of his best fowls have disappeared. Determined to catch the marauder, Mr. Doty rigged up an ingenious scheme. He arranged a kodak in front of the window of his chicken house and attached it to a flashlight. The apparatus was so arranged that the opening of the poultry house windaw would ignite the flashlieht and

days, made the greatest gain, 640 pounds. J Annual Prlze-Winners' Parade. The interest of the farmers largely centers in the live stock showing, and the annual parade of premium-winning animals is a spectacle that always draws a great crowd to the grandstand and in a circle 'round the race track. This is a great educational feature at Greenville. Thousands of women throng all the live stock departments, and in these days of pig and calf clubs the school children from the farms hgve learned to "talk live stock." They are indeed taught the judging of all classes of farm animals and
poultry nowadays, also the value of pure bred live stock, as compared with the scrub. Following the calf club sale on Friday comes the sale of a car of feeders, sent to Greenville for feeding by the commission men at the Chicago stock yards. The total sale of pig club hogs must figure a considerable sum, as there are 175 head in the entire
offering, covering the various popular
breeds. There are some whaling big hogs in the hog houses at Greenville, among which we noted Big Type Polands, Spotted Polands, Hampshire Belts, Chester Whites, Duroc Jerseys and Berkshires. The display of implements and farm accessories is very large, and there is
a regular automobile and tractor show on the grounds. There are "shows" galore and a good racing program has been a feature of the week. The Darke County Agriculture Society has long
since learned how to conduct a county fair to the satisfaction both of visitors and exhibitor, to the benefit of the entire community, and with profit to the organization. The officers are paid "enormous"
