This is the announcement of the
eleventh annual meeting of the Gran
ville County Fair Association. Like
any other business running through
a period of this length the Fair has
had its ups and downs. On the whole,
however, we believe it has had a re
asonable degree of success even from
a direct business standpoint, and
it has performed a distinct and valu
able service in the agricultural devel
opment of the county. It deserves
to become a permanent feature of our
public life.
This year we aproach the people of
the county with an appeal and a
-promise. We appeal to the patriotic
citizens to rive us their best r-upport
in making this the beg' year in the

completed it will be a thing of beau
ty; but nevertheless they have
shown a disregard of the rights' of
the public to a remarkable degree.
They plow up a stretch of road and
provide no passage way around it.
It is pointed out that if the con
tractors had he least bit of conside
ration for the welfare of the travel
ing public they could provide a pas
sage way for vehicles with a few
shovei fulls of dirt.
Coming upon the scene, the ave
rage man is faced with a condition
that is well calculated to test- his
metal. He must either advance or
turn back. If he turns back he is
sure to miss his train; if he goes
forward he is sure to get stuck in
the soft ground and deep holes
made by the plow. Under such try-
ing conditions man is prone to take
risks and he ventures out into "no
man's land" and here you are.
This same thing has happened;
time after time on the Oxford-Henderson
road, and it is said that
the schedule price of pulling an au
tomobile out of the holes and mire
is $16.
The County Commissioners should
hasten to the rescue ' of the travel

j. h. Bridgers, president of the

If the community would like to

would consent to an increase in his

SKETCH OF GOVERNOR Co
THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE
From. Printer's devil to president.
That is the ambitious road James
M. Cox has set out to travel, and
now he has got as far as inducing
the Democratic party to put it up to
.the voters of the nation to decide
next November whether they want
to send Gov. James M. Cox to the
White House or prefer Senator War
ren G. Harding. In either event
Ohio furnishes the next president.
Just as the Republican candidate
for president was born in the Buck-'
eye state fifty-three years ago and
has lived there ever since, so also
the Democratic candidate for presi
dent was born there fifty years ago
and has made his home there al
ways. His birthday is March 31. His
birthplace is a humble little farm
near Jacksonburg, in Butler county.
His parents were farmers, his father
of Englirh decent and his mother of
German. He worked his way into
the Amanda township high school,
selling papers and working as a
printer's devil in a country print
shop to get by. The smell of the
printer's ink made a hit with youth
ful "Jimmy" Cox and he set put to
learn the trade of a journeyman
printer. Then he graduated to a
newspaper reporter and got a job
on the Cincinnati Fnquirer, of which
he soon became one of the minor ed
itors. Young Cox's first taste of politi
es came when he was 4. He got a
job as secretary to a Democratic Oh
io congressman, with a chance to
earn $100 a month and live in Wash
ington part of the time. This job
he kept for four years, when he
scraped enough money together to
get control of the Dayton News.
Five , years later he secured the
Springfield Press Republic, changed
its name to Springfield Daily News
and has operated both papers with
marked success under what is
known as the News League of Ohio.
Mr. Cox was elected to Congress
from the Third Ohio district in 19
08, and was re-elected in 1910; was
elected governor of Ohio in .1912
and defeated for re-election in 1914;
was eelcted governor in 1916 and a
gain in 1918.
Gov. Cox married twice. His first
wife whom he wedded in 1893, was
Miss Mayme L. Harding of Cincin
nati. He married her while he was
a reporter. His second wife was
Miss Margaret P. BlaLj, a Chicago
girl. He married her three years
ago shortly after he had been elect
ed governor for the second time.
THESE BE DOG DAYS
A Period In Which Dogs Are Sup
posed to Be Especially Liable To
Go Mad.
Webster's International Dictionary
defines Dog Days as a "period of
from four to six weeks, variously,
placed between the early part of Ju
ly and the early part of September;
canicular 'days so called because ,
reckoned in ancier times from the
heliacal rising of the dog star, Sir
ious. Popularly, the sultry, close
part of the summer when dogs are
supposed to be specially liable to go
mad. The conjunction of the rising
of the dog star with the rising of the
sun was regarded by the ancients as
one of the causes of the sultry heat
of summer and of the maladies
which then prevailed. But as the
conjunction does not occur at the
same time in all latitudes and is
constantly changing in the same re
gion, there has been much variation
in calendars regarding the limits of
the dog days. Some dates that have
been given by Roger Long (1680
1776) as the beginning of dog days
are: About 735 A. D., July 16; 16th
century, July 6; 1616-1752, July 19
after 1752, July 30.
