SWINE SHOW AT FAIR HAS
BEEN OF GREAT AID
As to the importance of the Roan
oke Fair the swine show this yeai
has been of great aid. Breeders state
it to be the grealest show ever staged
in the entire South. So many hogs
were entered that a second judge was
lequired in making the awards.
A show of that size assures the
success of a fair, and to bring so
many the fair must have a fcood
reputation. There is no doubt that
breeders learned much when they
viewed the different herds on exhibi
ts n, and l it is through suhc observa
tion that progress is made not only'
in that line but'in all lines. It is no
honor to thore in charge to have'
built a show in the length of
time that this show has rtln.

vhieh was most pleasing at the fair
was the excellent discipline of the pa
trons. Every .one appeared in a most
cheerful mood at all times, and there
was little cause for fight. An occa
sional drunk only added to the many
friaks. Few arrests were made, and
a: far as we know all matteVs were
fettled in a most satisfactory manner.
Surely the good spirit prevailing at
our fair has as much to do with its
success as the exhibits, shows, free
acts, and other features do. We should
stress this spirit of good will more
. than we do, for after all what can
be more pleasing than meeting old
friends and having them join'you in
r ride on the Hey Dey, or visit the
shows ?
TEAPOT DOME GOES HACK TO
ITS RIGHTFUL OWNER
Teapot Dome goes back to its right
ful owner, the people of the United
States, according to a decision of a
United States circuit court of ap
peals. A lower court had previously
held that the government's lease to
Harry Sinclair, which was swindled
through by Secretary of the Interior
1 Fall, was valid.
The oil field known as Teapot Dome
was the roost valuable of all the gov
ernment's reservations. „
The latest decision came with some
surprise after the lower court had held
the contract valid. Yet there was a
feeling of confidence among the peo
ple that the higher courts would eas
ily find fraud enough to cancel the
contracts.
The Sinclair! Company made mil
lions on its stoik boom upon the first
court decision; doubtless the new de
cision will cause a slump in it.
SOUNDS GOOD—BUT IT WONT
WORK
The Washington Daily Newb has
discovered a movement in a woman's
' organization to demand of every man
! offer to marry to prove his economic
standing and mental capacity, and to
■ require of every would-be bride to
1 show that she could support herself
! and children if her husband should
' die.
! Of course, these are ftnei deals, but
1 what will they amount to? Just think
I of a young man in love; what does
1 he know about economics and mental
! capacity. He is supposed, in these
modern days to spend lavishly in his
courtship, and frequently shows no
signs of mental capacity at all.
Of course, these days are just like
those that have passed and those to
come. The man in love forgets econ
omy and often fails to show much
signs of mentality. |

And then, coming to the bride, cer
tainly when she has the misfortune to
become a widow she can adapt her
self quickly to her surrounding*, for
the mother is the mother of inven
tions when it comes to caring for her
own.
Yet why should we always be mon
keying with love, and when folks be
gin to fall in love let us be charitable
enough to say go ahead and de the
best you can, just as folks have al
ways done and are going to do in the
•futuae.
If sufh regulations were fully en
forced, it would almost ruin the mar
riage license business and cripple the
cradle industry.
