The Value of a Fair
It would be a difficult matter
for any one to determine ac*
curately the value of a fair, because
its value is relative and
too varied. But its value is too
great for it to be dispensed with
without material loss, whether it
be a great State fair, the lesser
county fair, or the more modest
community fair. Man is by nature
a combative being. His
ccmbativeness takes' just such
turns as his impulse or intelligence
dictates. When a person
with both energy and intelligence
sees another do something.
or possess something, superior
to what he has or does, his natural
inclination is to overreach
that person, it matters not what
obstacles he may be called upon
to subdue. Here it may be well
enough to sayf that a person
should possess Iself mastery sufficient
to be influenced in following
only what is good and right
to excel in; hut, in spite of the
right or wrong in it, it seems to
be the ruling disposition of man
kind to get ahead of the other
fellow at All hazards.
A fair has its value in presenting
the successes of men along
varied lines, in which many
others are also engaged. Then
there is the social value of meeting
and getting acquainted with
r?n 1
juui icuuws, uuu ui meeiiog!
with friends from the various
sections of the state. This sends
you home with the feeling to
cultivate and possess a never
failing spirit of friendliness,
wherein lies the secret of the
possession of friends. Then too,
this association is attended with
its educational value: for it en
ables each one to express and
hear expressed views that add
to the information and training
of each other; and we come
away with new thought, new
ambitions, and a larger comprehension
of what goes to make
up real life.
Take it all in all, a fair is a
great helper to mankind, and we
should have them; and they
should be well attended.?Ker

^|thOTt his consent, and leaves
it against his will. During his I
stay on earth his time is spent in |
one continuous round of con- j
traries and misunderstandings by
the balance of the species. In <
his infancy he is an angel; in his 5
boyhood he is a devil; in his 1
manhood he is everything from '
a lizard up; in his duties he is a ,
d?tool; if he raises a family he is ^
a chump; if he raises a small
check he is a thief, and then the 1
law raises the d?with him; if he 1
is a poor man, he is a poor man I
ager and has no sense; if he is <
rich, he is dishonest but consider- ,
ed smart; if he is in politics you
can't place him, as he is an undesirable
citizen; if he goes to 1
church, he is a hypocrite; it he 1
stays away from church he is a i
sinner and damned; if he donates :
to foreign missions, he does it i
for show; if he doesn't, he is 1
stingy and a tight-wad. When
he first comes into the world, I
everybody wants to kiss him; be
fore he goes out, they all want i
to kick him. If he dies young i
there was a great future before
him; if he lives to a ripe old age
he is simply in the way and living
to save funeral expenses. ,
This life is a fuDny road, but we (
all like to travel it just the same. ]

What Joseph Would Have Done j
Clyde Davis adds a new I
argument for cover crops. This 1
is the way he puts it in the Sand <
Hill Citizen:
"Joseph was one the longest- :
headed men that history has recorded.
He spent seven years 1
in getting ready for the famine I
in Egypt. If he lived in the 1
South today and saw indications
of a shortage of potash looming s
up he would not let the plant
food in his fields leach away i
this winter. He'd put in 4akiver
crap* if it took his last shekel" 1
It's a good time for Southern
farmers to emulate the wisdom :
of Joseph. > 1
