Wide Its Gates
Never before in its history of five
successful years <1 id the Chesterfield
County Fair open under more auspicious
circumstances.
This paper goes to press one day
earlier this week, hut as it does so,
on this Wednesday morning the gates
to the Fair grounds swing open to
admit, in all probability, a recordbreaking
attendance.
Crops have been fairly good
throughout the County ami the prices
brought to the farmer are undreamed
of. The people have worked hard,
had a very successful summer and
are apparently ready to have a little
recreation, meet friends and compare
im"' notes.
There have been three successful
Community Fairs held, at Patrick,
at Wexford and at Macedonia. They
have brought their exhibits to the big
County Fair where they make a line
showing.
The canning club girls have had a
most satisfactory year and their ex-1
hibit of last year, though excellent,
is sure to he surpassed this time.

reported in regards to the work which
the school children are doing for the

coming strong also. In fact at this
time it seems that there will be an
enormous number of exhibits and of
the finest quality.
The best carnival company that
could be secured is on the grounds
with tents erected and ready to entertain
the merry maker with a
merry-go-round, some freaks and a
first-class show where monkeys drive
automobiles in an exciting race.
There are several other shows in
the aggregation that promise an entertainment
worth while.

here and will make free balloon ascensions
and parachute drops.
In fact they are all here but the
gamblers and confidence men. Quite a
number of these gentry came from
another County Fair not far away,
but the officials of the Chesterfield
! County Fair Association made it so
! hot for them that they decided to
move on.
The Chesterfield Brass Band will
dispense free and sweet music.
So, in the language of the small
boy in the summer time, "come on in;
'the water's fine."

FRENCH AND BRITISH
TO HELP ITALIANS
Washington, Nov. 4.?England,
Franco and Italy stand firmly united
to oppose any further advance of
ihe enemy in the Italian sector, says
the war department's weekly review
of military op< rations. The statesuggests
that the Teutons, nrohahly
thought Italy would be left to her
fate or that the allies would be unable
to dispatch the necessary forces
, in time but declares that England and
France already have sent large reinforcements
and the Western front to(
day stretches f.oin che North Sea to
the Adriatic.
I Only bare mention of the American
' troops in France is made by the department.
In pointing out that the
momentous events in Italy must not
"lend us to forget that the principal
battle front of the war remains" in
France and Flanders, the statement
says, "where our forces are fight inv "
"Our attention during ihe pad.
week has been centered on the gigantic
struggle now going on in the Friul

i "The Austro-Cierman forces, breaking
through the Italian defenses along
I the upper reaches of the Isonzo, have
erupted into the lowlands and carried
forward a series of rapidly co-ordinated
operations which have resulted
in the conquest of much territory.

heinjx. been abandoned. Great troop
masses are manauvurin;* in open counI
