* INSPIRATION OF THE COUNTY FAIR ~~*~? y Peter Radford. When yon enter the agricultural department of the county fair, you feel your soul uplifted and your life takea on a new power?that la the inspiration of the eoll. Tou are overpowered by the grandeur and macnlflcenoe of the boom?that U the spirit of the harvest. Too can hoar the roloe of natal* calling you back to the soilthat Is opportunity knocking at your 6oor. h Is a good chance to spend a 1 Quiet hour In cup tact with the purity | and perfection of nature and to sweeten your life with its fragrance, derate your Ideals with Its beauty and expand your Imagination with its power. These products as food are fit for the gods, and as an article of commice they ought to bring tip-top prices on any market In the world. The products of the soil are teachers and preachers as well. Their beauty glveB human life Its first entertain- 1 ment, their perfection stirs the genius In artists; their purity furnishes models for growth of character and their marvelous achievements excite our curiosity and we Inquire Into the wonderful process of nature. Before leaving the parlor of agriculture where naturo Is piradlng In her most graceful attire and science is climbing the giddy heights of perfection, let us pause and take a retrospective view. How many of you know that after these wonderful products are raised, they can seldom bo marketed at a profit? Take the blushing Elberta, for example?they were fed to the hogs by the carload last year. The onion?the nation's favorite vegetable?every year rots by the acre in the Southwest for want of a t market and as a result hundreds of farmers have lost their homes. Cotton?nature's capitalist?often goes begging on the market at less than 1 cost of production. It is great to wander through the exhibits while the band is playing > "Dixie" and boast of the marvelous fertility of the soil and pride ourselves on our abilitv to master sclenee hut 1 It Is also well to remember that there 1 1b a market side to agriculture that li does not reflect its hardships in the (] f exhibits at a county fair. n a Y UNIVERSAL PEACE I ' h tl This nation Is now In the midst of a controversy as to how best to pro- d mote universal peace. That question h we will leave for diplomats* to dlscuss, but peace within nations is no less important than peace between ' nations and It Is heavily laden with prosperity for every citizen within t our commonwealth. p Many leading politicians and ofttimea . political platforms have declared war (. upon business and no cabinet crisis ^ ever resulted. Many men have stood ' in high places and hurled "gas bombs" at industry; thrust bayonets into bus- t' lnees enterprises and bombarded ag- n rlculture with indifference. Party v leaders have many times broken dip- w lomatic relations with industry; sent < political aviators spying through the (] affairs of business, and political submarines have sent torpedoes crushing ' Into the destiny of commerce. Dur- v ing the past quarter of a century we have fought many a duel with prog- n rose, permitted many politicians to h carry on a guerrilla warfare against Cl civilization and point a pistol at the j, ucai i ui uunesi enterprise. ^ No man should bo permitted to cry out for universal peace until his record has been searched for explosives, ? for no vessel armed or laden with /p ? munitions of war should be Riven a clearance to sail for tho port of Universal Peace. I jet us by all means have peace, but peace, like charity, should begin at home. i! 6RASPING AT THE SHADOW ? No man?especially If be is married?would deny woman any rlgnt " she demands. Take the earth and h give us peace, but why does woman V long for the ballot? ri When all Is said and done, is aot | the selection of the butcher more ira- f, portant to the home than the election ? of a mayor; is not the employment of the dairyman a far more important event in the life of the children than the appointment of a postmaster; is K not the selection of books for the " family library more important than a voting bonds for Jail and court house? Why does woman lay aalde the lm- C| port ant things in lite? Why leave the substance and grasp at the shadow? He it said to the credit of womanhood that it is not. as a rule, the woman who rocks the cradle that Di wants to cast the ballot; It is not f the mother who teaches her children to say "Now 1 lay me down to sleep" _ that harangues the populace; it is not V the daughter who hopes to reign as queen o^er a happy homo that longs & tor 'he uniform of the suffragette. It cl is, as a rule, the woman who despises G her DTj, neglects her children and w .. . j.:. motherhood that leads parades and smashes windows. b / OUR PUBL IV.-F. A.1 Bus,n?

London, July 17.?Fifty thousand English women gathered on Victoria 1 fj Embankment today and paraded hrough the streets with banners fly- 1 tig to demonstrate their enthusiastic 1 eRire to be enlisted in the services s i me country. There was a remark- 1 hie scene when the minister of 1 iinnitions, accompanied by Mrs. ' Immellne Pankhurst, the suffragist 11 pader, appeared on a platform overDoking the embankment along which <1 he procession made its way. 1 Mr. Lloyd-George had received a 1 eputation headed by Mrs. Pank- 1 urst, who said It was a crime for F ten to be doing work which could f e performed by women. In response to cries for a speech j he minister said the government roposed to utilize the services of j very one prepared to assist and delared that victory would eventually ' e won. There were dark clouds y joming in the east, but he looked to * he indomitable courage of Russia to leet this hurricane.

Washington, July 18.?Use of coranereial fertilizer for cotton as relected in the sales of Inspection tags o June 25 compared with sales to hat date last year in the South howed a decrease of 5ti per cent. Liie department of agriculture anlounced today that the tonnage to iune 25 this year was 2,6:56,000 igainst 4,4:51,000 last year. ''The reduction in the absolute luantity of commercial fertilizer ised," says the department, "does lot measure the full evtent of the oss in the productive powers of the ilant from the lack of this usual supdy of nourishment and stimulation, ["he quality of the fertilizer sold Is nuch inferior to last year's supply tecause of the lack of available sup dies of potash. This is reflected in he lower price. While the tonnage old in South Carolina, for instance, las dropped to 55 per cent of last ear's, the value is satd to have fallen o less than 30 per cent.

REALLY MATTER OF BLUFF Just How Most of Public Pests Secure Immunity From Merited Retribution. j Once upon a time there was a dop whose delight it was to bark at the moon. He knew nothing discreditable concerning the tnoon, but felt that he just naturally must show his superiority. So he yapped and yowled ari called it names and made faces at it l?y the hour. All this caused the other animals great annoyance, and at last they held an indignation meeting. "Something must be done!" was the general opinion. "Let us do it by taking this measly nuisance out to some secluded spot and abating him in a; thorough nnrt nortnon/.n? - ? ? ? ?1" ' ^ auuuoui uiouucr; "Stay!" spoke the hog. "Let us not act hastily. I traveled widely in my younger days, appearing in the dime museums all over the land as the justly celebrated educated pig. I have looked this matter up. It 1b true that I the varmint under discussion is an abomination. Still, he is one of the i pests to whom all the rest of creation ! appear to feel compelled to give ear i and deference?men call them reformers or agitators, or statesmen, as the I case may be. As I understand it, there is no way of stopping his barking at the moon except by paying him to quit. And that, alas! would not give I us permanent relief, for as soon as he had spent our money he would fln<l something else to howl about, and we Biiouiu nave to buy him all over again."

MATTER OF JUSTICE FIRST Vermont Judge Had Little Use for Legal Quibbles That Amounted to Nothing. The Central Law Journal says that Theophilus Harrington, a Vermont judge In the early part of the last century, was a man who loved the right and cared little for mere legal quibbling. "If justice controls your verdict," he would often say to the Jury, "you will not miss the general principles of the law." At one trial when the possession of a farm was in ques tion the defendant offered a deed of the premises to which the plaintiff's lawyer, Daniel Chipman, objected because it had no seal. "Hut your client sold the land, was paid for it and signed the deed, did he not?" asked the judge, i "That makes no difference," said Chipman, "the deed has no seal and cannot be admitted in evidence." "Is anything else the matter with the deed?" asked the Judge. "I don't know that there is." "Mr. Clerk," said the judge, "give me a wafer and a three-cornered piece of paper." The clerk obeyed, and the judge de liberately made and affixed the Real. "There. Brother Chipman," said he, "the deed Is all right now. It may be put In evidence. A man is not going to be cheated out of his farm in this court when there is a whole box of wafers on the clerk's desk." A Mistake In Scott. Novel readers who like to combine the classic with the topical may be turning back, now that another great chapter in the history' of Constantinople is opening, to one of Scott's less popular works, "Count Robert of Paris." And there they will find one of those curious slips, analogous to the lady novelist's horse that won the Derby three years running and the eclipse of the sun in "King Solomon's Mines" followed by a moonlight I night. Scott's slip is more excusable, seeing that he had not seen Constan uui ii lannoi oe explained away. Sir Edwin Pears, while testifying that Scott's descriptions are upon the whole singularly exact, observes that he makes the Crusaders wait before crossing a bay on the Bosporus until the tide has ebbed. Now there is no tide in either the Bosphorus or the Marmora. Eyes Stand the Strain. The number of persons wearing glasses is often taken to mean that eyes are deteriorating. But scientific opinion does not h Id to this view. So far as science knows there has been no change in the structure of the human body in historic times. Examination of the eyes of Indian students in schools shows as large a proportion with defective vision as of white pupils. Several years ago an oculist measured the refraction of the eyes of many wild animals in the Ttronx Zoo of New York. Their eyes proved to be bs defective as the eyes of human beings. Nature is often a bit careleps in Its work. Hut there is no evidence that its optical glass is breaking down under the strain imposed by civilization. $100 Reward, $100 Thp render* of thl* i n|>pr ? 111 he j>!pn*eil to Warn that thorp la lit femt one dreaded <ll*paw that idrnrr has hi on ahlp to euro In all ltn ataaoa. ami that la Catarrh II.Ii w Calurrli i n...
