AU rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. Farm Exhibit on Sept. 14 and 15 The interest of Wayne county farmers and urban dwellers in good live stock is not of recent growth, but dates back to the early days of the community. As early as 1850 citizens of Indiana
were told in one of the old gazateers that Wayne
county was one of the richest agricultural sec
tions of Indiana and was noted for its excellent
live stock.
One of the chief mediums of barter in the very early days of the county were hogs. Largo
droves were driven to Cincinnati to be exchanged for supplies which the settlers needed, and hundreds were killed in the small packing plants for shipment to Ohio cities. The show which the Wayne County Breeders' association will conduct at Jackson's park on Sept. 14 and 15 will be notable in giving the whole community an opportunity to see the excellent grade of live stock that is being raised in this county. The show i3 not limited to an exhibit of swine, but also includes cattle, horses, sheep, poultry, agricultural products and vegetables. The exhibits will be so profuse that they will illustrate the whole scope of the agricultural industry. It has been a long time since the residents of
the county have had an opportunity to see the high class products of our farms, and it will profit all of us to visit the exhibit for its purely educational value. Farmers, of course, have a high vocational interest in the exhibit and will be encouraged in their efforts to make the soil yield the utmost and to breed live stock of superior quality. Many city dwellers take more interest in farm displays than most farmers imagine they do, and a large attendance from Cambridge City, Hagerstown and other towns in Wayne, as well as in adjacent counties, may be confidently expected
to attend.
The Dublin fair last week proves that urban
dwellers are interested in the problems of the farm. Much surprise, to say nothing of appre
ciation, was shown by the promoters of that en
terprise over the attendance and the entries,
whose excellence elicited praise from persons who had visited the pretentious county fairs in
western Ohio and eastern Indiana.
Ain't it a Grand and Glorious Feeling!
Hearings on School Bond Issues The hearings which the state board of tax commissioners is conducting in various townships of the county where school building projects are under way serve a good purpose. They give the taxpayers, the persons who really pay for the construction of school build
ings and for their operation, an opportunity to
express their approval or disapproval of bond issues that cost them money.
One would hardly conceive of the citizens of
the various townships being so opposed to a
needed improvement in their local school organ
ization that they would fight bond issues unless
they had good reasons for it. All of them, with only a few exceptions, be
lieve in good schools and want their children to
enjoy the best schooling that can be given to them. But they also believe, judging from their
statements at the hearings, that there is a financial limit to the amount of money which they can spend for this purpose. Most of them act on the theory of parents who wish to give their children art or music lessons. If they can afford to purchase1 an instrument and pay a teacher, they give the child a musical education along with its other schooling, but if they cannot it is dropped. ' And so also in reference to the school system.
New buildings, many of the taxpayers say, are advantageous, but if the township cannot afford to erect them at this time, it is a manifestation of common sense to postpone the improvement until later.
Broadly speaking, the educational problem is a local one, over which the particular township or community should have the final jurisdiction. If the majority of taxpayers, acting upon all the facts involved and basing their judgment entirely on what will best serve their community, believe an improvement is ill advised, their wish should be respected.

Good Evening By ROY K. MOULTON
HOW TO LIVE FOREVER Recently we asked our pet scientist to dope out the system of attaining long life, for the benefit of our readers. He has worked on the case faithfully and presents the following rules: 1. Be careful and do not drink water from poisoned wells. If you must drink water drink city water or bottled spring water. 2. Contract no disease. This 13 important and should be followed by every one, young and old. If no one contracted any disease the death rate would be much lower.
3. Never stand in front of a rapidjy moving railroad train or automobile. 4. Marry early and if necessary often. Although a married person (of either sex) may in reality not live longer than a single person, it seems longer. 5. Do not eat oysters without remov
ing the shells. Next to doughnuts, oyster shells are the hardest food to digest. 6. Do not call a man a liar anywhere west of the Mississippi or south of the Mason and Dixon line. It is much safer in the east. 7. Do not smoke a cigaret or cigar in a celluliod collar factory. 8. Never be an Innocent bystander. That is the most dangerous occupation in the world. !). Do not to into Wall street and yell, "Hurrah for Leon Trotzky!"
10. Mind your own business; don't interfere in family quarrels: don't eat tinned meats without removing the
tins, and if you would reach a ripe old age, above all things, don't die. "NEVER ELOWS THE ROSE SO RED" "What a vamp she was! Not the made-to-ordcr 'movie vamp,' but a siren recruited from the ranks of life itself. She was the picture of poise. Even the famous red nose was snuggled closely to hfr breast." Los Angeles Record. There is a rule that foreign diplomats hay bring liquor into the country. A man must be somewhat of a diplomat to get any of it locally, too. "Kissing," says a scientist, "is very dangerous." Yes, it cost one man $50,000 once.

THE SIMPLE LIFE
THE SUNSHINE OF FAITH Faith, not fate, rules the universe. True faith Is invulnerable. It never wears away. It may burn low, but it never burns out. It sometimes ebbs, but It always sweeps back and sweeps men on. Faith is the ballast of toil. Men grow disheartened, but faith forever remains or returns to fire desire, to comfort when weary and worn, to Inspire to rose-gathering despite the thorns. It is faith which sustains the swimmer who fights the tide; faith which
supports the soldier with his back to the wall; faith which warns the sailor
who combats the 6torm; faith which strengthens the businessman in the grip of bankruptcy. Only faith can stop men from squandering their golden days and dollars;
only faith can terminate stumbling servitude at the shrine of failure; only
faith can lead to pluck revivifying hope from the myriad-hovering flowers of opportunity.
At 6ome time or other, the world unites against some one or other of
its benefactors; and only faith can heal the gashes mulcted by the barbed wires of ridicule and calumny strewn in their path. Even Lincoln once complained that there was only one man on the faceot the globe who was his
champion himself. Faith is the foundation-stone of all achievement; it Is woven into the fabric of all accomplishment. It was faith that spurred the tired plowboy to become the emancipator of a race; faith that lifted a little girl bereft of faculties from the depths of unparalleled gloom to the heights of unrivaled heroism. In the arch of victory faith has always been the keystone. Faith In themselves, faith in the thing they were doing, faith that all must turn out weil it has been the inspirational essence that has heartened thousands of hopeless men and women driven to the bottoms of desperation and despair. And Faith in the omnipresence of opportunity has been the constructive, animating motive of countless men and women who have been seared but 'saved from servile, slavish subservience to misunderstanding, discouragement and failure. Flowers have hard work blooming on dreary days they need sunshine. So does man today, especially the sunshine of faith.
it is quite possible that he may be seen in Washington this fall as one of the delegates to the disarmament conference.
There is a very wholesome attitude of mind growing up in the world. I believe that all countries are beginning to feel it. With the closing of the World War Tragedy, hate seemed to have been much spent. The mad and ruthless fight for money and power is greatly softened. I was reading an article by Sir Philip Glbbs the other day that greatly impressed me. I want to quote a few lines. "It is amusing to see how even our millionaires and profiteers sicken of the luxury they have created and for some months in the year at least put it away from them and try to get near Nature again In camps and bungalows, in shooting, in fishing and in boating. "All their iinancial Jugglings and all their anxious watching of markets and prices, all their headaches and sleepless nights in pursuit of power and wealth have led them only to the realization that the good life is in the woods and fields, close to earth and under the open sky free from luxuries." The simple life, after all. Is the wholesome life the happy life. We can take nothing with us when we ticket our souls out of this mortal body of ours. But we can leave great possessions for those who walk in the ways we walked. An old soldier nearly 80 years of age came up to me on the street the other day. He pulled from his pocket several old photographs. One was of his leader, General Meade, and another was of Abraham Lincoln at the age of 43. He had a most touching affection for them and I asked him to sit down and talk with me about them. He himself was the last of his family and was living at the Soldiers' home in his town. But he told me in his simple way of many t the joys of life and I was enriched by his visit. How wonderful is the glitter of pure gold after all the dross has been separated! And that is what I see as the picture of life with all its madnesses and insincerities cleaned away. It is with the simple things that we are most enriched. V11, Stevenson gets at it in one of his simple lines: "To earn a little and spend a little less!" Sometimes I look at the best life as the love life where we see the good alone in people and love thm for their best aspirations.

Q. What is the basis of the claim that the government should pay the money due Bethlehem workers under a 'wage award of the national labor
board. W..S. A. Bethlehem's contract with the war department was known as the "increased cost" provision, as did many war time contracts, which stipu
lated that the government should pay increased costs incurred for which the contractor was not responsible A wage award by the government agency is claimed to be an increase in the production costs for which the contract

one of the veterans of the department of foreign affairs on the Quai d'Orsay, in Paris. When Raymond Poincare became prime minister
Wn.v flfsx? n? selected Martin as his principal private secretary and chief confidant. On Poincare's election to the presidency of the republic in 1913, he promoted Martin to the post of director of the protocole bureau, at
the department of foreign affairs, an
office which carries with it tne ouues
and prerogatives of grand master of the ceremonies to the republic, and is
the tirincinal channel of communica

During Poincare's presidency Martin
acquired a far greater degree of pow

joyed by any of his predecessors in office, was consulted by the executive on all sorts of matters and was entrusted by him with a number of confidential missions, some of them of most vital importance, such as those to London during the last few fateful days immediately preceding the outbreak of the great war, in the summer of 1914. All those foreign statesmen, diplomats and newspaper men who were in Paris at the time of the congress of Versailles will recall the important role played throughout 1919 by William Martin in connection with that memorable gathering.
