I Wayne County Fair
City and rural dweller mil enjoy themselves
mightily in Glen Miller park, Sept. 13 to 15, when
the Wayne county fair offers an exhibit of agri
cultural products, live stock, and other displays of farm life, as well as many recreational and
amusement features of excellence.
It is the first time for many years that the
agricultural interests of Wayne county have had
an adequate display of their industry in Rich
mond. The demand for the fair was so general
this year that the attendance probably will break all records for an exhibition of this kind in the
county.
The transformation that has been made in
the park by the tents and booths is a great one. Many persons who have seen it say this alone is worth while going to the park. When the cattle, pigs, poultry, horses and the scores of other dis
plays are collected there, citizens will realize that
the fair fulfills the promises made for it by the
men who have worked with zeal and earnestness for the last three weeks to bring it- about.
AH the fair attractions are free. No -admis
sion will be charged. When one considers the many excellent attractions of an educational
value that will be exhibited, the fact that no ad
mission is to be charged enhances the value of
the fair.
Most important of all, however, is the splendid showing of co-operation between the farmers
and city dwellers which made possible the holding of the fair. If this had been lacking, the
fair, instead of taking on great proportions,
would have been only a mediocre affair at its
best. 1
This is the spirit that brings results in any
undertaking. The thousands of residents of Wayne and adjacent counties who will visit the
fair will be impressed with this spirit. It will
increase the mutual feeling of a common interest
that exists between Richmond and the farming
districts in all directions.
With many agencies of the United States try
ing to harmonize the interests of the agricultural
industry with those of commerce and manufac
ture, the Wayne county fair will be blazing a
way in this part of the state.

Are bathing places an taspoTtant tt actor In transmitting diseases ? ILE. W. A. A questionnaire on the subject "was sent to 2,000 physicians recently. Of the 350 replies received, 70 per cent believed bathing places are important factors In spreading some diseases: 25 per cent thought thr-y were
not; 4 per cent expressed no opinion.'
The writers considered infections or eye, ear, nose, throat, skin, venereal and gastro-intes'tinal diseases among those which had been transmitted at bathing places. Another question was asked to which there was a more general response. When asked whether accidents or transmission of disease was a greater danger in swimming pools. 439 opinions were given. Sixtyfive per cent considered danger of infection the more important; 26 per cent drownings or accidents; and 9 per cent held that both were equally important Q. Is the highest dam in the world in this country? J- JA. The Shoshone Dam in Wyoming v is the highest in the world. It has a height of 32S.4 feet. Q. Who were the Biddenden Maids? A.H.D. A. This name was given to two unmarried sisters named Mary and Elizabeth Chulkhurst, born at Biddenden in 1100, and joined together, as tradition states, by the shoulders and hips. They lived for 34 years, when one died and the other, persisting in a refusal to be separated from the corpse of her
sister, succumbed after 6 hours. Q. Where is the largest stage in the world? J. G. R. A. The University of Washington at Seattle has a stage in its stadium which is said to be the largest in the world. Q. Where are the watermelons shipped in the spring? T. M. A. The first watermelons of the season come from Florida. " Later in
May, melons come from Texas and Georgia. Near the first of July the Florida supply begins to fail, but Georgia then is shipping in large quantities, and Alabama and the Carolinaa make haste to get their melons on market at this time. ' By the middle of July, the watermelon season is at its height. During July, shipments from Oklahoma supplement those of the far South. Missouri melons predominate during August with Virginia, Maryland and Delaware shipping in considerable quantities. September melons are supplied by Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa. '
TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can." "Take IV YOU PEOPLE
"Up"
The inspiration which I derive from the letters of those who are helped by these daily Talks is largely the reason why they appear each day. . . ' , . , The other day I received a letter from a great book lover who is now 84 years of age and a delightful letter It was. A ranch owner in the South asks me to come and see Mm when I am In Ms vicinity. A little girl out . West wants to have me come in sometime to their home and eat "fried chicken and hot biscuits" -with them. Another reader has offered to "feed me up on maple sugar, which I must confess i3 my favorite dish! And from Pennsylvania I have a letter wMch is framed and hangs in my office, from "Only a Farmer" telling me that he would like to have me drop in and have a meal at his farm if I am ever near him. Maple sugar, fried chicken, a real farm dinner! Whose mouth wouldn't water at such suggestions and whose soul wouldn't warm at the thought of accpting all of these thoughtful invitations? The other day I had a birthday and scores of letters came to me and made me happy that I did have a birthday now and then! In time I try to answer all these kind expressions with a "Thank you." But some are unsigned. So to those I can only publicly say "Thank you." ' But to You People, as a whole, I wish to acknowledge your beautiful thoughtfulnes3 and to say that I wish I knew you all and COULD drop in at will for a chat, or a meal or a romp! You People are all that really count, after all, in tMs big world. And please remember that I am one of you!

BRIG;GEN. CHARLES H. TREAT The marriage of Brig. Gen. Charles H. Treat, U. S. A., retired, and Mrs. G. H. MacDonald, took place recently in Belfast, Me.
Brig. Gen. Treat is remembered by many veterans who served in the 332nd Infantry under his
command in Italy
during the World war. This regiment was recruit
ed to 4,500 men
and detached after
reaching France
from the 83rd di
vision to constitute
the sole American Expediti o nary
Force in Italy.
Since no more
American tiooiis conld be spared from
the allied command. Brig. Gen. Treat
was given orders at general headquar
ters m Chaumont, France, to "make his regiment look as if there were a
million."
How the Ohioans under Brig. Gen.
Treat marched and counter marched through the Italian villages of the north, each time with varying equipment, to give the native population the impression that a division had landed in Italy, is one of the amusing chapters of the war.
, Secure in the belief that the American soldiers were far morenumerous than they really were the morale of the Italian civilian populace immed
iately lifted, a factor which contri
buted in no small measure to the ultimate victory of the Veneto on the Piave river. Brig. Gen. Treat was retired at his own request last April after 43 years of military service. He was born in Maine in 1859, but was appointed to West Point in 1878 from Wisconsin, where his parents were living. The rank of captain was achieved in 1899 and his majority in 1906. He was inspector general for several months and was made a lieutenant colonel in 1910, and assigned to the Fourth field artillery. He was graduated from the Army War college in 1911 and in the
same year became a colonel and took
command of the Third field artillery.
General Treat's promotion was rapid after the outbreak of the war. He
was made a brigadier on entering active service and was chosen for the leadership in Italy because of his com
prehension of artillery problems. His rank of major general was affirmed
soon after his arrival in Italy.
Robert A. New was the first Becre-
tray or state of Indiana. Although the National road was surveyed through Indiana in 1827, actual work on the project in this state did not begin until after 1830. Indiana, until 1841, had succeeded in paying the interest on her public debt, despite her many difficulties. Flatboats were used extensively in Indiana until 1850, for exporting to New Orleans. Nothing was paid out of the state treasury in 1816, $10,000 having been borrowed from the Vincennes bank.
William H. Lilly was the first audi
tor or public accounts in Indiana.

By FREDERICK J. HASKIX WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept 11. An important defect in the structure of American civilization has been brought to public notice again. This great nation, so complete in most respects, has no national flower. There is no blossom that the political candidate can Btick in his buttonhole to show that he is a patriot and to which he can point with pride as the living symbol of his high ideals.
There is no flower that can be carved into public buildings about Washington to remind the government worker of some inspiring tradition. When the president chooses a flower for his coat or his wife selects decorations for a state dinner, they must pondor the entire list of flowers in the White House conservatories. No national blossom comes instantly to mind a3 the emblem which fittingly represents the nation. This catalogue could go on indefinitely. The nation simply has no national flower. Generally such things are arranged for a country through accident. Some gallant leader takes to wearing into battle the flower beloved by his lady and his cohorts follow suit. Eventually the nation is saved by the hero and he attributes everything to the charm of the flower Popular sentiment is aroused. The story of the flower, that saved the country becomes tradition. Gradually the flower becomes the national flower without any arguments. Eneland acquired the rose as Its
national flower through a series of ro
mantic instances each of which deepened the significance of the flower.
The thistle really saved Scotland when
moat filled with thistles prevented
the enemy from reaching an important fortress. The lily became the badge of Louis VII of France when he start
ed on his crusade to the Holy Land and all France accepted the king's choice.
But early American heroes were
strangely neglectful of this matter.
They spent much time planning a suit
able seal and flag. But they never
bothered to snatch up a sprig of gol-
denrod or snapdragon when they went
out to fight, and their great, great
grandchildren are sufferig today as a
result.
In the recent war when the scarlet
Flanders poppy became so poignant a
symbol of America s sacrifice the national flower seemed about to appear.
But the beautiful poppy, it was explained by horticultural experts, was a weed in France and to introduce it into the gardens of this country would be a mistake So the poppy remains
only a memory except for the artificial specimens that occasionally bloom on national holidays. Daisy is Proposed By Representative Now, Representative Kissel, of New York, has introduced a bill in congress wMch would raise the humble daisy to the official post of the national flower. A purely aesthetic bill about a daisy has as much chance of receiving serious consideration now as ' a bill to make all representatives learn the
"Star Spangled Banner" would. But a
bill is a bill. It is always potential
legislation, and people are interested
in it from that standpoint Represent, ative Kissel's bill has aroused a num
ber of inquiries, and expressions of
protest and approval.
Some people tMnk that the national
flower should not be a common weed but a blossom that can be cultivated
and cherished. They want something handsome that will do the nation
credit. Others applaud the sweet sim
plicity of the daisy, but believe that we should choose a flower that is more capable of Mstoric association. Others read Into the daisy a fitting symbolism for national use. The heart of gold.
the whiteness of pure Ideals, the green stalk suggesting fruitfulness of earth are pointed out. It seem3 to bo especially important to link up a complete set of associations with a national flower if it is
to be arbitrarily legislated into exist
ence. The columbine, for instance,
which was persistently pushed in a hot race for the national flower some years ago, is said to be deeply significant. The name suggests Columbus and Columbia. All three are, in fact, from the same Latin word, meaning dove. The dove, it was pointed out, is a desirable symbol for any country, suggesting as it does peace and mildness. Moreover, the columbine grows wild over the greater part of the country, and blooms in adverse circumstances. It grows in a variety of colors, among them red, white, and blue. Back in 1896, when interest in this watter was widespread, a columbine society worked untiringly to have its favorite flower adopted by the nation. The governor of North Carolina called a National Flower convention to which representatives from every state came. They drew up resolutions setting forth the quantifications for a national flower. . After that they concluded that the columbine was the only flower among those proposed that measured up to the standard. What a National Flower Should Be
The columbine is practically forgotten as a candidate for the honor now, but the standards are still interesting. It was decided that the national flower should be a native of this country; it should be a flower not already claimed by some other country; it should
bloom on at least one national holi
day and lend itself readily to floral decoration; it should not be a weed or harmful to health; it should be suitable for decorative design that is, it should be capable of recognition indepndent of color if used In a conventional way and it should possess,
im possible, some patriotic asociation. The Mayflower has since had quite a following, particularly in the East. This was the first flower that greeted the Pilgrims after their hard winter in Plymouth. Unfortunately, however, it is a blossom of our eastern coast,
and is scarcely known to other sec-

No. 280 Glass of Water Suspended by a Thread A glass of water and a piece of thread are exhibited, and the request is made to suspend the tumbler by the thread. The task appears an impossible one, but becomes quite sinvple when a few extra articles are introduced. Attach the thread to the back of n ordinary playing card, utsng court faster, sealing wax, gum or soma Bucb substance for the purpose. Then place the card, face down, on the tumbler, which should be tilled to the brim, and press down on the center of the card so aa to press out all air. The card, tumbler and all may then be quit easily lifted by the thread, y
tions of the country. It cannot be
transplanted successfully nor culti
vated and it bloms for only a short
time in April. It would be national, therefore, only by historic association. Goldenrod which has many supporters also arouses opposition. It was suggested because of the association
with gold, America being the tradi
tional land of gold. But golden rod has a bad reputation as a hay fever agent, and it would probably make a great many people miserable if it wore to be widely used as the national flower. The pansy seems a strange flower to be proposed for our national emblem. Yet in 1892 two bills were in
troduced to that effect. One of tit bills is a curiosity. It tuggestsfc the flag of the United States be ins more symbolic, and this is to achieved by revising the blue fli with, its rows ct stars. Tht bUf pt posed that tMs blue Cel "ehaH be the outline of & white pansy wUh. true pansy center "Which shall rep: sent the capital or central governmei that the white stars, representing t states, shall be set Inside the vhi outline of the pansy in a manner poduce the general effect at a dlstan of a white pansy in a blue sky. Net less to say. the pansy flag never g any encouragement from congress. : The rose has many supporters t cause it is popular and decoratlre-ai
worthy of the interest which a r tional flower would inspire. Unforto ately, it is already the flower of En land. The sunflower, cornflower ai tobacco flower have been put up different rimes, and killed off by few well placed snote from cold re son. The daisy Is. now being opposi on the grounds that it is a nuisance farmers. It was also pointed out loi ago that the daisy is an Import plant, a member of the chrysanth mum family, and the chrysanthemu is Japan's property. So it goes. Deciding upon a n tional flower by legislation seems ii possible. The old spontaneous way acquiring one is undoubtedly the mo' natural, and perhaps it Is not tco la for America to follow the rules evt now. The country only awaits a gf lant leader who will select some flowt and make it an object of sentiment f all the people.
