Welcome to the Third Lancaster
i County Pair.
o t
Let's make it the best Pair we '
have ever had.
o '
i Lancaster is worthy of all the 1
boosting we can give. (

as the vis'tors. a>e -ure to have a

crowds. People are always glad ol
an excuse to come here.
o
As we read the President's Thanks-1
' giving proclamation we are reminded
that his re-election is not the least
-of our reasons for giving thanks. i
o
An inducement not to be overlooked
is the fact that no admission fee
the Pair will he charged, but all
-ex':ibits are open to the public free,
>of cost.
o
The good roads of Lancaster;
-county, better now than ever before,
wili bring to Lancaster this week an
-unprecedented crowd, or we have1
missed our guess.
o i
The selection of Dr. 1). P. Johnson,
president of Winthrop College,
is president of the new Southern
Chautauqua is a very happy choice,
the wisdom of which will be demon
st rated in his working out of the
-splendid idea. The South needs
,! . such an institution as the one proposed
and !> . Johnson's leadership
will he an invaluable aid in its organisation.
His executive ability and his
pr jgressiveness are factors which
make a success of anything lie uni-alertakes.
With 1 ?r. Johnson are asHoclated
a number of distinguished
educators and professional men who. '
like himself, are interested in the '
development of the South.
o
We cannot two strongly recommend,
for the consideration of our '
readers, two points made by Mr. J.
M. Voder in his communication ap- 1
pearinu in this issue. The first is '
that it is the duty cf our people to
erMbi* a I the fairs in order to advertise
our section. Mr. Yodor puts1
it as a matter of patriotism that we 1
(.show the world what we can do. Mr.;'
Voder practices what he preaches by '
-e.xhiting at the country fairs and his 1
exhibits are always most creditable. '
We wish especially to call attention to
what he has to say in reference to|(
"law enforcement, the greatest of all
our needs. Mr. Yoder urges that
a officers be assisted in their adminis 4ratien
of the law by all good cltl rens

THIRD COUNTY FAIR.
Lancaster entered yesterday upon I
its Third County Fair, an event \
which promises to eclipse all former \
enterprises of its-kind. Good weath- |
er. unprecendented prosperity, free i
-attractions and an era of good feel- 1
mg are factors which must combine
"to make this fair week the best we s
have ever had After a year of hard I
work, a crop shortage threatened dls- i
aster, hut twenty-cents cotton has <
brought smiles to the*face of the farnier-?and
everybody else for that
matter. Then. too. our people ara
/ast learning the all-important lek
I
on of living at home and the feel
tig of independence thus engenderet
nukes for security, happiness ant
irospeiity. After his own efforts a
liversillcation the individual fanne
will be interested to see how hr
leighhor is solving the same prof)
em and the mutual exchange of idea
vill he stimulating and helDful. I
vtll bo good for us all to sop wha
bo other follow is doing and ho\
ip is doing it. We will find ou
vhat farm products have been growi
nost successfully, what has bppn a*1
oniplislipd in the way of homo do
uonstration. what breeds of live
to'k sopiii to pay best and what th
iusv housewife has been doing th
>ast year; in a word, wp will reni
lie record of our achievements sine
he last county fair.
We would stress also the amuse
neat feature of the fair, for thos
vho have toiled faithfully ne.ed rt
axation. Fun and frolic have thei
egitimate place and we lose nine
?f the joy life holds if we fail to tak
in occasional holiday. Let's al
uake this a gala week long to be rc
tnembered. Let's catch the spiri
if play. It is a care-fee spirit an
eery infectious. A hearty hand
diake and a word of welcome wil
[nake the visitor feel at home,
royal welcome awaits you here thi
ve?'k and jolly good time.

WOODllOW WILSON.
We publish elsewhere in this issiu
he Thanksgiving proclamation c
Preshb nt Wood row Wilson. W
liope it will he read carefully. II
mints out several things, for whic
sve should he thankful, hut there i
"ine great blessing that has been b>
doved upon us which the Presiden
rould not mention even if eonsciou
if it. and that is that Providence ha
mllcd again to the head of this, th
greatest conn try on the globe. Pres
dent Wood row Wilson himself. N
President. in our history has had s
many and varied problems to solv
and certainly none other could hav
solved them more wisely.
It cannot henceforth be claimed, a
it has been durine his first term, thti
Wood row Wilson is a nnnorit
Pros blent, because he received ovt
4ftft,(V00 mote votes than were Rive
t > his Republican opponent, a large
majority nearly a million mot
votes?than were ever east for
President heretofore.
Narrow-minded Republicans 1 ib
Mr. Hughes and Senator Lodge cat
not now say that he is a section:
President, for he received nearly si
times more votes in the North an
West than he received in the Soutl
The vote shows further that Woo:
row Wilson is not a partisan Pros
dent because he was given over tw
million and a quarter votes front a
parties, races, and sexes in evei
part of the country. All of thes
figures go to prove the fact that Wi
son is the people's President.
We of the South should especial!
ho thankful for him because, uttdt
his administration the South is con
ing into its own, and this, not hi
cause of the fact that Mr. Wilson w:
born in tin* South, and is of Soutl
crn extraction, but rather hecntn
umler his leadership all sections at
c;von equal justice, there being wit
hitn "no North, no South, no Kas
nor West."
The broad, catholic spirit <d' tli
President finds expression in the fo
lowing form his address before
delegation of the American Federr
tion of Labor:
"Nothing alarms America s
much as rifts, divisions, the driftin
apart of elements among her peoph
linn ine ininp we mmni an i
strive for is to close up every rif
and the only way to do it, so far a
T c " see. is to establish justice n<
only, but justice with a heart in i
justice with a pulse in it. justice wit
sympathy in it. Justice can be col
srtd forbidding or it can he warm an
welcome, and the latter is the onl
kind of Justice that Americans out:!
lo desire. I do not believe I am di
reiving myself when I say I thin
that spirit is growing in America,
pray God it may continue to grov
snd all I have to say is to exho
every one whom my voice reach*
here or elsewhere to come into th
;ommon movement of humanity."
