THE  COUNTY  FAIR "|
A great   many peop'e vhave *w6n'-j
dered who - started the    idea of    a j
County Fair for Washtenaw and why-
the    proposition    should/ he    up for
consideration at the present time.
It is a well known fact in Michigan history that the first agricultural
la lair ever, held in the state was j
held in Washtenaw county. There
must have heen a hunch of live
wires here in the good old .days.
"Washtenaw county fair was vwell,
known as a good one up till the very
last. The fact that the old fair hit,
the rocks. was no "disgrace. All the
'fairs in the state did about the same
thing at that period. The hard
times accounted for that, also the e
were probably too many fairs, as
many as three"of four.mi some counties. Out of the wreckage of the old
days, the modern centralized county"
and district fair has heen devslcpjd-
The fair" is considered one of the
hest and cheapest aavertis?mef:t*.
.for a county or district. It improves
the value of farm property*
It is ^he—greatest modern agent y
to keep the boys and girls on the
farm,. -
It is the .greatest agency for improving the live 'stock, valuation of
the county hy increasing the interest in better stock, providing better
'and broader market in pure bred
stcck, interesting farmirs in founding better herds; The fair develops
home patriotism by stimulating good
natured rivalry; Showing the publfs
what is produced at home; Interesting others in new and better* lines.
o£ endeavor; Providing an annual
meeting place to greet friends an'd
acquaintances and form new friendships and husiness. i&lations; Enveloping home pride in eyery one,
especially^young  people. *
The need of a fair \ has. been
known and seen by the leaders iu
agriculture and business and at every occasion for a number of years,
the question has comq up, "why
can't* Washtenaw Have a Pair?"
The question .was partly ■ answered last fall* when Washfcfnaw*''
did have a fair. Also the"organization is complete to have an annual
fair. Several thousand .dollars of
supplies and huilding material are
on hand, ready to proceed. The
fair society could proceed and givs
the county fair-without a .vote on
this matter, but it so happens that
the same men are backing tills prop-
ciition who have been backing everything for the "benefit of progressive agriculture that has happened in
the county in the last few years.
1 hey have looked' into this matter?
and find that the means provided by
the State law for county owned -fair
i.* the best in the long run.
Prformance is guaranteed by the
plan put up to the voters at the
April election.
No. future management can sell,
mortgage ar abuse the fair property
as it will "belong to the people "of
V.'ashtnaw county.

Willing Workers' Meeting
The March meeting of the Willing
•Workers was held at the home af
Mrs*. Ada Lutz. They began, work
upon the "Log Cabin" quilt at once
.and after a fme^ehicken pie .dinner,
the meeting was called, to order by
the president, who read, a, portion of
the Sth chapter of Matthew. The
members repeated the Lord's prayer
in unison. The secretary's report
and those of the different commit-
ties came next, and' a -very interesting note from Mrs. ;L. P- Hall oi,
Ann Arbor in relat.'on to cur French
orphan, was read by Miss Julia
Gordon. It gave thesn-ame, ^age and
residence ofthe child,ai girl, Jeffl-nr.e
Tarrol, age 10 years, .residence ■* Gi-
r nde, -France. Mrs. Mary Higgles
r-ive a talk that was appreciated
highly. Miss Julia Cordon gave a
reading, i"Th'e Minister's Grievances," that - was very interesting.
Roll Call was responded to by Quoting a book and author. The flag
salute and mizpah were given and
the meeting adjourned to meet in
April with Mrs. Barbara 'Mohrhardt. 1
Roll call:    Growing Things.
That chicks :*hould be hatched in
April, rather than May or June, is the
o union of Professor C.t H. Burgess,
o' the poultry department at M. A.
C .The rather*common practice of
hitching in the * early summer is a
n istJaike, according to tho college
a ithority, for the April chicks are
said to mature in time to begin laying in the fall of the same year.
The. following "rules for selection
a-id storing eggs which are to be incubated "are given hy Professor B"r-
S ss: "Select eggs with uniformity
o' color and shape. Never incubate
e:,*gs weighing less than 2 ounces
e*eh (24 ounces to the dozen)—the
e :gs ot the best .size are those weigh-
ii g 26 ounces to the dozen. Gather
the eggs- often so that they may not
bf."ome chilled. Select eggs that
h ive uniform thickness of shell and
a -e not rough on the surface.
'Store these eggs by setting them
o i end.. Turn them daily, and keep
t .em in a temperature of from 55_
to G5 degrees. Never keep eggs
u ore than two weeks hefore incubi-
t on—the'sooner they are set af-
t r being laid the better. Eggs re-
c ;ived from puultrymen should be
a'lowed to stand 4S hours after they
a *e received before .being placed in
a \ incubator or under a -hen.   .
"There is very" litt'e difference
b 'tween the methods of natural and
•artificial incubation. If incubators
are to be used it pays to huy standi
ard makes. While ' they> cost more
at the beginning, the easier control
o" heat and other advantages of the
s andard machines make them far
more practical in the end."

Spring has come with a g.acious
smile and the mc.rnicg dove is
hear_**in the land. What an inspiring privilege it is to see nature
awake out of sleep and begin the activities of the season.
It is only as we .glance along the
course of the centuries that we discover the world's- progress. . On:
hundred years ago a man was as a
beast of the field, and the slaughter
of men in Italy," by the tyrant who
ruled them, stirred no spirit of resentment in England, It was a common occurence, a passing incident.
Fifty years ago the state had become
so gentle toward the weak that when
Gladstone made his protest against
-such cruelty wrought upon the inmates of the dungeons of Italy the
heart of Europe was aroused and the
tyrant trembled upon his throne. The"
world had -begun to take its true es-'
timate of man and the spirit of
Christ had touched' the moral consciousness of the nations.
Ons of Roosevelt's favorite stories
is going the rounds of the press. As
police commissioner of New York he
■was examining an Irish applicant for
the police force and asked, "Well, if
a mob were, to gather and you were
ordered to disperse it, what would
you do?" "Begorra," replied Pat
promptly,- "I'd pass around the hat
for'a collection, Sir." ■ ».
