Society  Organised  and Movement is
Under Way to Secure
Suniiort.
The Washtenaw County Fa:r society has heen organized to give Washtenaw county something it has long
needed, i. o., a- good permanent county fair. A good fair is gcod business
for the agricultural and industrial
pursuits of the county. Whe.her o.'
not we need a fair can he easily seen
by com'paring the number of herds o-f
pure bred stock in our ccunty w th
the number in adjoining counties, also by comparing the price of farm
land -in our county with that of the
surrounding counties. The purpose
of this article is to bring to the attention of the farmers and merchan s
of the county that this fair is organized and will be conducted" for th'Av
benefit and for the agricultural progress and general welfare of the county. Being organized under the County Pair Act, it is a non-profit corporation, and all proceeds must go to
build up the fair.
Now is the time to select seeds and
grains, which collections may be exhibited by individuals or societies,
and suitable premiums will he awarded. Let every person in the county
be a booster for the Washtenaw County Fair. A membership campaign
will be put on very soon to help finance" the fair. Be ready to give
your support and Washtenaw will
soon take its place with the best.

The world has not been made safe
for Democracy; Democracy is not
safe in America. Dan'oeracy perhaps will never be in that happy
condition where a struggle to maintain it will not he necessary. The
world history proves that where upbuilding is attempted or going on,
some force is always seeking to tear
down. The constructive work of sta-
halizing human liberties has never
met with experiences that teach differently.
The American Legion, with a potential strength of 4,000,000 men who
bore arms across the seas' or at home,
is committed to the policy o£
strengthening and developing the liberties, oprortunities and rights of the
individual' acquired under our form of
government. They are distictive
benefits of Democracy as we have
come to use the term—the safeguard.-)
that the people, collectively, pledge
to each other through our governmental organization.
Of necessity, such an objective precludes partisan politics. There is now
and has been for months much talk,
and what the Legion leaders characterize as "mawkish hunk", about
the "soldier vote". Undoubtedly, partisan politicians will make the usual
appeal to the "soldier vote" and will
take the usual steps dictated by fear
of that "vote." But, insofar as the
mlost serious utterances of the leaders of the American Legion are concerned—reiterated everywhere by
the members—there-is only one class
of men that need fear the "soldier
vote"—those who are not American
in spirit and deed; the men who fail
to realize that living in the TJnited
states means living in the laud where
human liberty has reached its highest degree and they owe to that land
—the flag that symbolizes it—the
duty of safeguarding and extending
the principles and ideals that gave
birth to these liberties.
Whether the forces that the American Legion will combat are alien or
home birth; whether they seek to destroy hy violent means or insidious
gospel or whether they are motivated
by greed and the desire for power to
pervert American ideals and govern*
mental control to their own benefit—■
the Legion will not defferentiate. its
leaders assure. The Legion stands
to carry on in America the struggle
it bore in France and Germany and
for precisely the same objective.
It is seeking to erystalize in concrete terms at home the ideals that
underlay Arnerieri's entry into the
war. And a review of the trend and
conditions in the United States will
not deny that the Legion has a great
mission—a duty, even, for which it
is peculiarly fitted by cxreriences
and lessons of the last two yearsr
There seems to be. only one question
on which members of the local committee who are working so hard to
make a success of: tlie coming chautauqua cannot agree—and that is as
to which- phase of the program offers
the greatest attraction—the lectures
or the entertainment features.
Those who hold in favor of the lectures point to the great interest com-
n-anded by such brilliant orators as
Ex-Gavernor "Frank li. WiLis, George
P. Bible, James S. Knox, and
"Mother" Lake.
Others call attention to the marvelous entertainment features that have
been provided, and assert that they
are every bit as instructive as the
lectures themselves
They point, fort instance, to the
fact that the Harry Bennett Scotch
Entertainers, who open the chautauqua, not only entertain with Bennett's
clever impersonations of Harry Lauder and his own portrayals of Scotch
comedy characters, but that the singing of this talented group is a real
education in the music, dress and customs of the bonny land of the Highland.
They point, too, to the combined entertainment and instructive features
of such a musical program as that offered by the Mozart Orchestral Ladies
on the SECOND DAT. This group of
winsome ladies present a succession
of charmingly costumed vocal and instrumental numbers that is positively
captivating. Their soles, duets, tn.
trios are hrilliatly executed and their
ensemble nun*,bers have all the volume of a ten piece orchestra.
The THIRD DAY features the
charming and talented Hctlij Jane
Dunaiway, one of the most brilliant
dramatic readers of the day, in a trb-
loid drama "Just Plain Judy"' that s
an adaptation of the great dramatic
story of laughter and tears, "Daddy
Long Legs," with other s'.ories, spoken songs and cartoons introduced. In
this production Miss Dunaway ta'^es
all the parts, with ten distinct
changes of costume. She is a whole
play by herself.
The clever Misses Ringold and
Major provide delightful rnus'cal settings for Miss Dunaway's program.
On the FOURTH DAY the chautauqua goers will he Iran ported to Hawaii through the dulcet h '..rmonizing
of the Hawaiian Singers and Players.
All the color of the tropics, all the
wierdness of the ukelele, all the soft-
throated harmonies of the real Hawaiian melodies are brought out at their
best by this group of dusky entertainers from the Island of Romance.
And at the end of the week enmes a
whole day of such band music as you
have seldom heard. The great Victor's Columbian Band produces music
that keeps feet tapping and hearts
soaring. And it also produces music
of the softer, sweeter sort, with many
novelty and descriptive numbers.
This is a most unusual band and employs a number of instruments that
are seldom used hy band organizations yet contribute a wonderfully effective result to the program.

FOB TIIE WHINERS.
An old negro woman, Sarah J. Walker, died last Sunday. Such an announcement would ordinarily cause a
very little ripple in even a small
community. The life of "Sarah Walker is a monument to the land of opportunity.
The woman was born of slave parents. She had none of the advantages
or opportunities th.at are offered to
the children of white parents. She
was quick enough to recognize the
value of the opportunity that freedom
offered to hei*. She entered into business on a sniall scale. Her first workshop was in an attic. She knew two
virtues, work and honesty. She died
leaving a fortune of over a million
dollars.
The example of th's humble negro
woman proves that opportunity in our
land knows no limitations. There are
men who comjplaih that they have not
had a chance.. They grumble at opportunity and never lay the blame for
failure at the door where it belongs.
One would imagine that a child born
of slave parents and who had to work
at the washtub for a living would
have reason to complain at opportun-.
it j". Her life proves that opportunity
knows neither class nor color. With
sublime faith, with energy and honesty she took up the task of life. She
made the best of what talent God
gave to her and the result was success that seldom comes to women
that are more generously favored by
nature.
It is the coward who complains that
in the game of life the "breaks" are
against him. This woman was not
favored with the breaks of the game,
but she won out.—Michigan Catholic,
