All processes in the production of (lis
tilled spirits for beverage purposes must
cease at 11 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 8.
This ruling was issued last week by
Herbert C. Hoover, federal food admin
istrator. N
Under the prohibitive section of the
food control act it is provided that "from
and after 30 days from the date of the
approval" of the act, no foods, fruits,
food materials, or feeds, shall be used in
the production of distilled spirits for
beverage purposes.
The 30-day period named will expire
at midnight Sept. 9. Ihis date falls on
Sunday, and as the internal revenue
laws prevent the operation of distilleries
after 11 o'clock at night on Saturday
until the following Monday at 1 a.m., it
is held by the food administrator that
the law becomes effective on Saturday
night, Sept. 8.
Beer Guzzlers to Get Less Alcohol
Reduction of alcohol in' beer to 2 per
cent is expected to be Hoover's next
grain conservation step. He is said to
have decided beer strength must be re
duced from its present 3 2-1 and 4 per
cent alcohol to save 35,000,000 bushels
of grain. No loss of revenue would re
sult on this reduction, though there
might be less drunks.
FAIR USUAL
SUCCESS
Five students of the aviation school
who were spinning over Sugar street
Tuesday, probably fuster than the law
permits, ran into the curb at Market as
they turned the corner, the car turning
turtle and spilling the occupants. The
machine was the only thinit the worse

The Banner Fair will come to a close
this afternoon. It can be safely termed
the usual success. Some departments
made excellent showings, others were
fairly filled. The agricultural displays
of the granges of the county were its
finest features, and these organizations
are to be commended for their exhibits
and the care taken in presenting them
The Woman's Club of Blackcreek town
ship also showed what can be accom
plished by united efforts. An outstand
ing feature was the products of the gar
den and field, which no doubt were more
or less the result of the appeals of the
government to plant and plant.
The display of the business men of the
county seems to grow less each year, but
those who continue to make exhibits are
to be congratulated on their efforts to
make the fair worth while, with little
hope of reward for their time or expen
diture of money. Fairs run more,and
more to amusement places, and many
people never see an exhibit of any kind,
However the crowds seem to spring out
of the ground, and every year seems to
show an increase in attendance, particu
larly on the big days, and this year is no
exception.
Ground to Be Enlarged
The board has acquired twelve acres of
land adjoining the fair-ground on the
east that was much needed for parking
purposes and will relieve the congestion
that was so noticeable yesterday. There
is another thing that needs remedying,
and that is permittiag passenger traffic
vehicles entering the grounds. Sheds
should be erected at the gates for un
loading and receiving passengers.
Unity Got First
The good natured rivalry among the
granges for honors at the fair were de
cided by a judge from Wooster yester
day, who gave Unity first prize, Monte
zuma second and Neptune third.
YOUNGER AND RICKETS
BEAT OPPONENTS EASILY
Contests for places on the Fair board
yesterday were confined to Jefferson and
Hopewell township. Younger was up
for reelection in the former and Ricketts
in the latter. Secretary Hamilton was
reelected, received the high vote.

The races, as usual, were the big fea
ture of the fair, as the grand stand at all
times seemed to have more than its share
of the attendance. The races were all
fairly filled. Starter Swepston got his
horses away in very good order, and the
crowds seemed very well pleased with
his work.
Tuesday's Results
An unusual feature of Tuesday's races
was the finishing of each of the three
events in one, two, three order.

REVS. STEINBRDNNER AND
ANTHONY ARE HONORED
THE FIFTY-NINTH THE GRIM REAPER BRYAN ON DRAFT
TEACHERS' MEET
By Miss Clara Penn, Acting Secretary.
The fifty-ninth annual session of the
Mercer County Teachers' institute as
stmbk-d in city ball at Celitra. August
At 9:30 o'clock County Superintend
cut Cotterman announced that the insti
tute was in session and asked Dr. Chan
cellor to conduct the opening exercises.
I lie teachers sang America," and alter
scriptural reading and prayer proved
that "The Star Spangled Banner" was a
laminar song.
In the absence of the secretary, Miss
Em mi Musselman. the president ap
pointed Miss Clura Penn to act as the
secretary.
Superintendent Cotterman explained
the purpose of the enrollment and the
enrollment fee. He also explained that
the conflicting dates of the institute and
the fair was unintentional and that an
opportunity would be given to attend the
fair sometime within the week.
Dr. Chancellor, who had so ably in
structed the teachers in their last insti
tute, was then introduced to speak on
Planning the Day's Work." He urged
careful planning in all work. Plan in
general your week's work and then plan
in detail for each day's work. Go over
the plan before using, then test your
teaching by going over the plan after
the lesson has been taueht.
He spoke of the importance ol making
memoranda of individual cases to be met
It is worth while to record exact time in
cases of discipline rather than to trust
the memory.
Dr. Chancellor closed his address
with an appeal to the teachers to keep
fresh by making new plans, using new
books and becoming acquainted with
new ideas and new things.
The president announced that Prot.
Clifton had come back home with a mes-
iKe to the teachers. Prof. Clifton was
very much at home in his examination
on "What Is Education?"
The teachers measured themselves as
be gave out his test questions: Has ed
ucation Riven vou an interest in new
thines? Has it eiven vou an interest in
outside affairs? Have you learned how
to make friends and how to keep them?
Afternoon Session
The meeting was opened by sing'
ing the ' 'Battle Hymn of the Republic. '
Dr. Chancellor gave an interesting ad'
dress on the ' 'Social Conditions of Rus
sia." Russia has a heterogeneous popu
lation with Asiatic rather than European
tendencies. Illiteracy is very great, due
part to traveling facilities. The
masses are informed, by what they hear.
We have a peculiar relation with this
people at this time, since it seems to be
our function to surrender ourselves to
great ideals and to be missionaries by
irivine these ideals to humanity.
At recess many teachers enrolled in
the reading circle.
Prof. Clifton then addressed the teach'
ers on"Personal Development, "in which
he said 4 'more than 50 per cent of what
am, or what I am going to be, depends
upon my personal development.
By interesting illustrations he made
very clear that teachers may will to do.
or not to do in spite of heredity and en
vironment, and that each one is respons'
ible for his own characteristics.
There is a great gulf between the anl
mal and the human being which Prof.
Clifton calls personal development
Give the boy or girl a chance to show
hat's in them.
Mrs. Mary Worley, lor many years s
resident of this city, died at the county
intirmary last Friday, aged 78 years.
Death was due to paralysis, though she
had been in ill-health for some time.
She was sent to the infirmary last June.
The deceased is survived by an aired hus
band and several children. Her funeral
took place from the local Catholic church
Monday.

Veteran Joe Dehavs. of Findlay, drop'
ped in to see us Tuesday while in town

ed us the reunion of the Dellays family
would be held at the (atr-eround here

HAS A GROWING FLAG.

New.
Shelbyvllie, Ind. A growing Ameri
can flag la the attraction which Alonso
Leora Rice, Shelby county poet, baa In enforced resietence ts anarchy.
Wm, J. Bryan, in August Commoner.
The number of those resisting the
draft is, fortunately, very few: there
should be none. Some are conscien
tiously opposed to war any war and
may prefer to submit to any punishment
the government sees fit to inflict rather
than to take up arms, but even such can
not justify resistence or the giving of
encouragement to those who do resist.
Still less can tolerance be shown to those
who, while opposing conscription, at
tempt to DRAFT others to join them in
opposing conscription. War is a last re
sortit is a reflection upon civilization
that it still reddens the earth but so
long as nations go to war the citizen can
not escape a citizen's duty. If his con
science forbids him to do what his crov-
ernment demands, he must submit with
out complaint, to any punishment
inflicted, whether the puniament be im
prisonment or death.
This is the best government on earth
the one most responsive to the will of
the people, but it is a government of the
people not of one or a few men. If a
few are permitted to resist a law any
law because they do not like it, govern
ment becomes a farce. The law must be
the yard of his home In Union towa-
ahip.
The flag has been seen by hundreds
of persons from several counties, and
Vr. Rice says it Is a floral conception
which be has had for several years.
The flag la formed by three varieties
of clematis red, white and blue plant
ed In the order named and growing oa
a wire trellis. The flag la four feet
wide and twelve feet long. The col
ored flowers form the stripes and field
of blue, while) the stars are formed by
the white flowers, which are shaped
similarly to the star. The clematis is
hardy and blooms until frost.
OUR MEN AT FRONT PUT
BAN ON NAME "SAMMY"
Before our nation enters a war it is
perfectly proper to discuss the wisdom
of going to war, but the discussion is
closed when congress acts. After that
no one should be permitted to cloak at
tacks upon his government or aid to the
enemy under the claim that he is exer
cising freedom of speech. No sympa
thy, therefore, will be wasted upon those
who have been arrested for unpatriotic
utterances. They abuse free speech.
And this applies to attacks on the Allies
as well as the attacks upon the United
States. We can no more allow our al
lies to be crushed than we can afford to
be crushed ourselves. The defeat of our
allies would throw the whole burden of
the war upon us. We must stand to
gether and fight it through. There are
only two sides to a war every American
must be on the side of the United States.

Tuesday's Session
President Cotterman called the meet-
or to order at 8:30 a.m. Prof. Clifton
led the teachers in singing, after which
Rev. Brobst led the devotional exercises.
After roll-call Prof. Clifton gave an
address on arithmetic. Arithmetic is
not memory work; it is not guessing.
The teacher will get what he expects.
Stress and accuracy, accept nothing else
nd you will get accuracy. Arithmetic
will be interesting to the pupils if it is
presented in an interesting way. Re
move the crutches, rules, model exam
ples and answers, and let the pupils pro
ceed naturally. Casting out the nines
a method that holds the interest of the
pupils. Insist on the attention of every
pupil when a pupil is reciting or the
teacher it instructing.
After recess Dr. Chancellor presented
universal test for schools. Individuals
are generally divided into three classes
eye-minded, ear-minded and hand-
minded. Tests were given to illustrate
each class. Then tests to discover the
mental age were given and finally a
practice test for teachers to use in any
grade of school.
Prof. Clifton spoke on school efficien
cy. He rates the school buildings and
surroundings at fifteen per cent, and the
teacher at 85 per cent in school efficien
cy. He illustrates his subject by an in
teresting account of a visit to a correct
ive institution. And again by a personal
experience how he was kept in school
and interested in school work by a real
tea cher.
Dr. Chancellor completed his talk on
Russian social conditions and then pre
sented French traits. The study of these
nations helps to get the German point of
view of the present war.
The primitive customs of the Russians
and their very high birth rate fill the
Germans with a lothing and fear of these
hordes. On the other hand, Germany
believes France to be a declining nation
because of its irreligious character and
very low birth rate. The land system
leads to this, as much is held out of use.

Not until the recent arrival m camp of
certain American newspapers did the
soldiers of the American expeditionary
forces become aware that efforts were
being made fat certain quarters to fix
upon them the name "Sammy."
That name never la heard on this

It can also be stated that the resent
ment does not rest alone with the offi

extends to all Americans resident In
Paris and other parts of France, many
having written in to say that they con
