All that is possible to do is being
done by the members of the Butler
CountyAgricultural Society to make
the 70th anniversary of the Butler
County Fair the greatest and big
gcst ever in the long history of the
fair. Secretary M. D. Urmston open
ed the offices of the board in the court
house Thursday morning, and his as
sistants are kept very busy receiving
entries for the various departments.
Mr. Urmston says there never was in
the history of the fai rso many entries
ill the week before the fair as there
is this year. Every mail brings in
dozens of them, and the local people
never responded or showed so much
interest as they are doing this yeai
Judging from appearance there never
was such display of fruits and farm
products at the fair as is going to be
there next week. This is due to the
enormous crops of this season. Corn
You never did see such corn as you
will see at the big fair.
Present indications are that outside
the big state fair at Columbus, the lo
cal show will outshine all county
fairs of the state. Many special and
high-priced free attractions have been
provided by the fair board, amonp.
them being auto polo, aeroplane
flights, four bands, with Barberton's
Famous Lady Band on Saturday. Auto
polo is a new stunt for this vicinity,
and is already stirring keen interest,
every one being anxious to get a
glimpse of this hair-raising and
thrilling sport. Usually there is a ca»
or two smashed and a few players in
jured in the game, but that is what
the public seems to like and that
'HELPWANTED"
Cry Is Stopped By Metal
Trades Association
Cincinnati.—The local branch of the
National Metal Trades' Association,
that is opposing the wage demands of
organized machinists, has instructed
its members to discontinue "help
wanted advertisements until further
notice."
These anti-unionists proclaim their
right "to run their own business,"
but their union now notifies them to
stop advertising until "further not
tice."
The extensive advertisements, it is
stated, are of doubtful value because
they encourage the strikers and "busi
ness is declining in all lines through
out the country.'
The antis might also state that the
machinists are winning their strike.
In another appeal the antis ask
Contributions for the home guard. In
his letter, President Dean says:
"I would of course be indiscreet to
put into a letter everything I know
about conditions here, making it ab
solutely necessary to maintain thr
home guard, but let me state to you
most emphatically that they are very
plain, very direct and very necessary."
The machinists say strikebreakers
are garbed in the uniform of the home
guard for the purpose of provoking
violence, and that there has been no
violence and property is not endan
gered because of the strike.

Taught New Work By Fed
eral Board
BUTLER COUNTY FAIR
Washington.—The federal board for
vocational training reports successes
in training men into new employ
ments by the quickest and safest
route to make them competent wage
earners. It is estimated that there
are 600,000 persons in this country
who have suffered vocational handi
caps from industrial accidents. This
number represents the accumulation
of years.
To rehabilitate these workers, and
also ex-service men, the federal board
has been voted money by congress to
give to the various states an amount
for vocational training that equals the
amount appropriated by that state.
The state boards must accept the edu
cational plans formulated by the fed
eral board.
The states that have accepted the
federal law are Arizona, Georgia, In
diana, Iowa, Minnesota, Nevada, New
York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon and
Tennessee. Previous to the enact-

what makes this sport interesting, and
that is just what is going to be pui"
on every day of the fair next week
Aeroplane flights will be made diily,
in fact there will be many flights, as
the aeronaut will carry passengers
and from the number who hav#» al
ready expressed their intention of vis­
iting the birds it will take several fli
ers to accommodate them. There will
be music galore, four bands ha/icg
been engaged, and as an added at
traction Barberton's famous bai.d
will give concerts on Saturday. This
band has a reputation of national scope
and will help draw big on Saturday,
the extra day added this year.
The running races are again to be
a big feature this year. This is al
ways good news to the speed demons,
the fellows that like real action on the
track. The purses for the harress
events, four of which take place daily,
will be the biggest ever offered here
abouts in fact the horsemen say thsy
are the best offered anywhere outs de
the big state show. There are many
other things the board has done in the
way of free attractions but too nuim
erous to mention. In fact the fair
board never loosened up as it did this
year, but as "Jack" Slade, president
of the board said: "She's going to be
the biggest ever if she 'busts' us she's
the people's show and the people are
going to get their money's worth."
This was heartily seconded by Mur
ray Urmston, secretary of the bo vd,
who is sponsor of the running iaee
events, and who insisted that the fair
run on Saturday for, Murray says,
"we've got too blamed much to crowd
into four days."
The girls' baking and sewing con
tests, as well as the boys' pig judging
contests are attracting the girls and
boys of the county as never before.
The school exhibits also promise to be
an interesting feature. The stock de
partments are filling up fast in the
way of entries ,and the farm imple
ment display will be the finest ever
seen at the fair. The art hall exhibHs,
always a delight to the ladies, will
take up every inch of the spacious
building.
All in all, the seventieth annual of
the big Butler county fair is to De a

ment of this law these states passed
their own legislation covering this
subject: California, Illinois, Massa
chusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New
Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ore
gon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and
Virginia.
As a first step the state boards are
compiling the names and addresses of
disabled individuals. This informa
tion is furnished by workmen's com
pensation commissions, public health
commissions, hospitals and Red Cross
home-service stations.
The feleral board says trade unions
are an aid to this movement which is
intended to develop self-sustaining
workers.

run along with ali the turkeys and
fowl until he could entice them far
enough from the farm, and then he

Black Fox could not wait for the
day to break to try his enchanted
spell, so he wished three times to be
a turkey, thinking It would be just as
well to be ready when the turkey
awoke.
An old witch had kept her promise
just as Black Fox had kept his. She
gave him the power to change his
form, but not into that of a turkey.

Instead, when he hail wished three
times he found himself a big green
frog.
Black Fox began to hop about, try
ing to find a place to hide while he
thought what he should do.
Under a low bush he hopped, but he
found he was longing for water as he
never had before. Not a drop was
there to be seen. The only thing to do
was to hop along until he found some.
It was not so easy to get over the

Plack Fox remembered he had asked

"During the last year," said Mr.
Williams, "the burdensome and op
pressive interest rates to which the
senator refers have been exacted not
in 'one or two possible insignificant
cases,' as one critic expressed it, and
not 'for about 10 minutes one after
noon the middle of last November,' as
another critic stated, but in thousands
of instances, at numerous times and

of millions of dollars."

magic stick, which made the frog sit
up and listen to what, she snid.
"You thought you could deceive a
witch, did you, Black Fox?" she said.
"You see now that you couldn't.
I knew the stone you brought as I told
you to bring to me was not from the
bottom of the pool and I kept my part
of the bargain just as you kept yours."
"Give me back rny own form again
and I promise to bring the trtone you

you can regain your own shape." said
the witch, leaning on her stick and

gan to think about the witch.
"She mutrt have made a mistake and
have given ine the wrong drink,"
thought Black Fox.
"I suppose the only thing to do is te

me back again."
All day and all night he hopped
over stones and through brush until,
when he finally did reach the cave of
the old witch, he was so tired that he
fell over on his back in-from of the
cave door.
The Black Ckt found him and began
to poke him with her sharp claws and
meow so loudly that out came the
witch. When she saw the frog on the
ground she began to laugh in a shrill,
cackling tone and dance about the
poor frog, while the cat joined with
her mistress, and every once |n a
while would poke froggie with her
claws.
