INSPIRATION OF 7F1
THE COUNTY FAIR
I
?
sr. By
Peter Radford.
.
When you enter the agricultural department
of the county fair, you feel
your bouI uplifted and your life takes
on a new power?that 1b the Inspiration
of the soil You are overpowered
by the grandeur and magnificence of
the scene?that is the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice of
nature calling you hack to the soil?
that 1b opportunity knocking at your
door. It is a good chance to spend a
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection of nature and to sweeten
your life with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with itB power.
These products as food ar? fit for
the gods, and as an article of commerce
they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products of thb Boil are teachers
and preachers as well. Their beauty
gives human life its first entertainment,
ihe'r perfection stirs the genius
in artists; tiieir purity furnishes models
for growth of character and their
marvelous achievements excite our
curiositv and we fnnulre intn the won.
derful process of nature.
Hefore leaving the parlor of agriculture
where nature is parading In her
moat 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 be
marketed at a profit? Take the blushing
Flberta, 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
market and as a result hundreds of
farmers have lost their homes. Cotton?nature's
capitalist?often goes
begging on the market at leBB than
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 Boil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but
it is also well to remember that there
is a market side to agriculture that
does not reflect its hardships in the
exhibits at a county fair.
UNIVtKSAL PLAUt
Thts nation Is now in the midst of
a controversy as to how best to promote
universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to discuss,
but peace within nations Is no
less important than peace between
nations und it is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
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 business
enterprises and bombarded agriculture
with indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip-,
lomatlc relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political submarines
have sent torpedoes crushing
Into 4ho destiny of commerce. During
the past quarter of a century we
have fought many n duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point a pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to cry
out for universal peaco until his record
has been* searched for explosives,
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should be given a
clearance to sail for the port of Universal
Peace. I^et us by all means
have peace, but peace, like charity,
should begin at home.
GRASPING AT THE SHADOW
No man?especially If he Is married?would
deny woman any right

glvo lis peace, but why does woman
long for the ballot?
When all Ih said and done, is not
the selection of the butcher more important
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
not the selection of books for ths
family library more important than
voting bonds for jail and court house?
Why does woman lay aside the important
things in life? 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
wants to cast the ballot; It Is not
the mother who tenohes her children
to say "Now 1 lay me down to sleep"
that harangues the populace; it is not
the daughter who hopes to reign as
queen over a happy home that longs
