spirit long remain. i

Everybody was interested in the '
1 success of the county fair. ;
o
Now is the time to begin the aglta- ?
tton for permanent fair grounds and 1
buildings. 1

We need medical inspection of the
Lancaster schools and should take c
I steps to.secure this safeguard of the t
children's health. !?

We hope that Lancaster will give 1
its mite to help wipe out the tubercu- 1
losis plague by buying hundreds of-;;
I Red Cross seals this year. " ji

The good order prevailing in the p
Anderson mill district since the mill- n

wisdom in ordering out the troops. b

"The Christmas Savings Club" of,s
the First National Bank affords an t
?3xcellent means of making and sav-in
<ng Christmas money. By means o'lji
such a plan people are taught th<-ja
important lesson of of economy and t
- vise investment. v

It is good news that Lancaster has t
mew the largest acreage of grain in a
.its history. Our progressive farmers 'v
mre learning not to neglect the plan;- d
tng of food crops, on which real pros- f
;p. .it.? depends. And in view of the p
large grain crop, let's go after a
itiour mill with the determination to |
get it for Lancaster.
o
In considering the good fortune
tit tending the Third Lancaster Coun-j
ty Fair we have been reminded of
two remarkable facts not heretofore
mentioned. First, that in the l5i>
n.iles covered on the three booster "
trips by about fifty automobiles. '
there were no tire troubles and sec- a
ond. that fair week had not a single 0
serious accident and passed without
the disorder which usually arises at a
auch times. (1
o?
I.KTS BEGIN AT ONCE. "
Now is the appointed time for us
*o begin plans for the purchase of a
permanent fair grounds and the erec-|?
Jtion thereon of suitable buildings for r
- off- county fair. We have already
cmade of the rair an institution thai *
''has apparently come to stay. It has
massed beyond the experimental
stage, having reached a point where
regular provision for its maintenance
as imperative, if the fair is to attain
to that larger usefulness of which we know
it is capable. It is very hard j
to find convenient places for the sev-!
-era! exhibits. Very often it is necessary
to place the departments at
considerable distance apart. How
much better it would he to have one
plaoe big enough to accommodate all j
| our products for exhibition and to I
how much better advantage could we
! show them in such a plaoe. So now,
N while our interest has been aroused |
once more and while our minds are
-?tll! on the good beginning we have
-. 1
made, let us all with one accord join
in a movement for a still bigger fair, I
one that will have adequate room to
be seen, where all exhibits will be
conveniently situated with reference
the one to the other.
There ought to be hundreds of men
in Lancaster county who would take
stock in the fair association, so
many in fact that the burden need
not fall heavily on any one.
WhUe everybody is enthusiastic
over our recent achievement, the successful
consummation of the Third
Lancaster County Fair, it is well to
prepare for a bigger and better fair
next year, a fair that has its own
building and grounds, in which am
pie accommodations are provided and
where conveniences for exhibiting are
at hand.
