Ever since then, in the ranks of men, tak- "i ing them high or low, the coward Nl at heart, who shirks his part, i has tried to dodge the blow. The man who aims high but fails to get by, and blames the fellow below, need never aspire to climb any higher--he's gear- ed to travel "in low." There's always a place for the man with the grace to admit it when he is to blame; who says, "It's on me but, by Jiminy, it never can hap in!" If you would succeed, there is 0 better creed than that of the man who is Square: "I'll take what is mine, without whimper J. F.

Com- munities at that time were more or less isolated and each one lived unto itself. "With the coming of -autos came better roads and im- proved tr. rtation facilities in general. People could go further a both for the puropse of making exhibits and seeing what was on display. The result has been a gradual loss of interest in the little country Fair and a tendency towards centralization in larger centres, "The probabilities are that there will be one or two Fairs in each county these being located in the larger centres, Bich as Oshawa for Southern Ontario. Then there will 'be the larger Provincial or National Fair, such as London, Ottawa, Kingston and Toronto. The proba- bilities are that better results will accrue from the hold- ing of ong gvod Fair than trying to dissipate the en- ergies of the exhibitors and the public-in trying to keep up a dozen or more small village Fairs. In South On. tario, Oshawa is the logical centre for a Fall Fair and and there should be a generous support accorded the South Ontario Agricultural Society." In discussing this editorial, we wish to say at the outset that we have greatly admired the energy and loyalty of the Oshawa people. Through these qualities the citizens have forged ahead until Oshawa is now a city. When any enterprise is undertaken there are citizens enough to do the work well. Naturally, then, South Ontario Fair will be carried through to a successful con- clusion from the view point of crowds and financial success. But the subject of Fairs should be discussed upon the merits of the case. at is a Fall Fair? What purpose does it serve in a community ? A Fair is an exhibition of the products of a community, dis- trict, or country, empire, or the world. The purpose served is to stimulate the production of the best. Having stated what a fair is and what its purpose is, it is also right to state what a Fair is not-- It is NOT a midway. A "midway" is merely something to attract a crowd. The Fair is something to teach and inspire the crowd after it has been attracted. Centralization of all the good things in the cities is becom-/ ing a real menace in the development of an intelligent, progressive, happy rural population. The real value of the Fair lies in teaching people to take a pride in their work, and to learn by comparisgn wherein improve- ment can be made. The people who need this inspiration most are the people who are least likely to get it. Such people need the Fair right at their doors. Moreover, when the Fair is taken to the city, it becomes the testing place of only the big producer, and the small farmer, or small producer throws up his hands and says it is useless for him to compete in that company. The small Fair holds the same relationship to the great ex- hibitions that the public school holds to the universities. It is the first training ground for the future exhibitor, unless we count the School Fairs as such. Rural Fairs are essential to good farming. They cannot compete with the big Fairs in the matter of "attractions." In- deed too many attractions may destroy the usefulness of the fair. Georgraphically Oshawa is not well situated for a County Fair. It is too far to one end of the County. From the view- point of the farmer, too, Oshawa's interests are not the same as his. Oshawa is an industrial city and its Fair will naturally re- flect this condition to the detriment of the farm interests. Without undue conceit, we feel that Port Perry Fair better serves the original purpose of Fairs than does the one at Oshawa. Competent judges state that our farm exhibits are better, both in stock, grain, fruit and vegetables. We have much to learn in attractiveness of display. Indeed some lessons in the preparation of exhibits would be valuable. But as yet we see no reason why our rural Fair should be discontinued. We see many reasons why it should receive the continued Support of the farm- 'ers and the citizens of our town."

Port Perry Branch, WHAT'S THE HURRY? (Elmira Signet) At a meeting to discuss the safety of pedestrians, ape wit- ness remarked: "In the old coach, he was contented to wait |, to or three days for the next. Now he lets out squawk if he misses one section of a revolving door." It's the truth. We are in such a hurry that half the time we don't know where we are going. We would rather stub our toes than take the time necessary to pick up our feet. We dodge through traffic in the middle of a block rather than spend thirty seconds in reaching a street crossing. Men go from Chicago to San Francisco and write back boasting that they made the trip in three hours less than the last time, We jump on and off moving trains. We eat fast, talk fast, read fast, walk fast, dance fast, sleep fast--and die fast. What's the hurry? There are still twenty-four hours in a day, even with day-light saving. A straight line is the shortest distance between two points, according to the mathe- maticians, but why confuse life with geometry? Wait a minute. ---- Ore ARBITRATION BOARD It will probably be left to the Railway Board to select a third member for the Board of Arbi- tration in connection with the separating of Oshawa from the County. Mr. A. K. Bunnell, of Brantford, the city's represent- ative, was in Oshawa on Tues- day and was in conference with Mayor Trick, P. A. Blackburn, City Solicitor Grierson and Al- dermans Vickery and Schell lin- ing up the settlement and :ad- justments to be made between the city and the county. He also visited Mr. Roach, the re- presentative of the County, and suggested the appointment of the third party. Thet'two men were unable to select a suitable party and it is quite probable that the Railway Board will be appealed to to make the other selection. Of several mentioned at the meeting, none seemed satisfactory. --Ontario Reformer LO OO WORK COMMENCES IN OIL FIELDS (Uxbridge Journal) The news that, work has al- ready commenced on the leases recently acquired by the General Petroleum and Gas Co. Limited, of Toronto, located on the sixth concession is undoubtedly the most important announcement made in recent times. This company apparently has some very powerful backers in the city amongst who enthusiasm for the success of the undertak- ing runs very high and who are determined that no time shall be lost in getting operations under way. What these opera- tions means to the future of Uxbridge very few of its in- habitants can realize, the men behind the enterprize know and their board of directors are not only men of vision, but have had the shrewdnes to assure them- selves that failure in this partic- ular project is next to an impos- sibility. One of the most favor- able points they inform us about this enterprise from an invest- ,| ment point of view is that they Fair, | have a very real asset in the | sand. millions of tons of marketable This is available no mat- ter whether the oil or gas is to be found or not, and is sufficient days if anybody missed a stage Standard Service makes the farmer's Sanidig STANDARD BANK H.
