W. Pegler, United Tress Staff Correspondent.) London, Sept. 22. (By mail.) Tho scrappingeKt, swattlngest part In the world that is the boast of the Ithono da valley in tho coal ,eMs of Wales. Tho world is quite a chunk of terri tory but tho Valley is ready to back up tho boast with grimy-toil-hardened fists. Saturday night in tho public bars the matches are made and allHhondda Valley's main population turns out in tho dawn of Sunday to battle or watch in the hills that cup the Valley. Every week-end from New Year's to Christ mas and on through the holidays the program goes on. This Is about how it happens: Hill Williams ambles down to the pili for bis Saturday evening's even ing after a hard week's work and a pretty good supper at home. He is at peace with the world and inclined to keep it, but only, on certain terms. Down the bar is Floyd Jenkins. He Is a lot like Bill; has worked hard all week, just tucked in a satisfactory supper ana is peaceanie on flie same conditions. Rill surrounds a covey of flowing bowls and gives voice to some radical opinions on conscription or politics. I Kloyd is a radical, too. but just the 'other way. Of course he can't stand I by and hear his firmest convictions I run into the ground, so he w allops Bill ijh the nose. Friends intervene and the belliger ents draw on liberal night caps before ! w inding their way homo, i The same Incident has been repeat ed in perhaps a score of places. Hill doesn't hate Floyd; he pities ' i:i bis wrong convictions and so . e going to battle for a princi ple. . day morning they meet and ' -lit to a knockout out in the open, whatever tho weather, with no ropes. i i-'-.vos and only the grass for their in.it.

Those who have seen the show this year de clare that tho carnival surpasses those which huve been ofefred in recent years by tho big Patterson aggrega tion. The general impression created lis one enters the "midway" is that he is about to see a good clean hnv.' and this becomes a reality after t.iking in the splendid attractions which arc of a varied nature,'' The Animal Show, Perhaps the greatest feature of the carnival is the animal show, which is In the form of a three ring cirevs to gether with an animal arena 'n which some of tho fiercest of the .iunfetoa are to bo seen. Some of the immense lions shown in this enclosure have the record of killing several of their keep ers. Here amid the roars of tho lions tho visitor has tho pleasure cf listen ing to the jokes of the clowns etc., to gether with w'inessing .other circus feats. Tho Leoiia show is a tabloid -of mu- ! sie under the direction of Lawrence P. Wall, a noted musician. Here a number of pretty girl performers are the drawing cards. The Autodrome.

' MAiMiS VITAL ONE INOKLA. Interest in Community Building Increases as Question is More Generally Un derstood by Citizenship P. O. Phelps, field agent for the ex tension division of tho University of Oklahoma, who is now engaged in his second year in that capacity, accom panied Br. Harry It. McKeen, commu nity builder and specialist who deliv ered a lecture on "Community Build ing" at the O. C. W. last night. For three years the University of Oklahoma has, through its extension department, been engaged in the gi gantic task of building up the citizen ship of the state. Its first service is to the rural communities and to these Mr. Phelps baa been giving much of his time. His mission is to carry the University In the fanner and his fam ily and to the merchant of the small town, to all who cannot come to Nor man, and in this he has succeeded to the extent of reaching over 360,000 people who attended illustrated com munity lectures last year under the auspices of the extension, board. "But in this great work wo are the worst handicapped of any state in the Un ion," he declared today shortly before ' Ills' return to the university, "We have no money with which to operate and it Is only by the strictest economy and tha exercise of greatest ingenuity that we can serve tho state in this im portant field. "The people of Oklahoma are begin ning to realize what this extension work means and are co-operating to an extent that is fratifying to those who have undertaken to enlighten them on how to advance their own in terests as the 5'I4 communities which we reached 'ist year will attest. The University of Oklahoma receives for this branch of endeavor only $10,000 a j'ear as against $2fiO,000 paid by Wis consin and StiO.vOO by Texas, $30,000 by Kansas and so on down the line p. - Sr.- - V si?p up and watch the pjnty proved in actus! by one of our demonstrators. . 1 i tit Take Advantage of ttus preat sal inar event for this week.
