not be done o stimulate the interest
of the people at large, in the county
in this splendid work.' .
I have ' observed that every good
progressive business man is glad of an
opportunity to put his wares or busi
ness before the public in any way
which will bring him results. I am
sure that we have some fine business
men farming in this county and many
that are producing products that
many of us would like to have if we
only knew where to find them. These
good business farmer ought to see the
County Fair as one of the best places
to let the people at large know what
they are producing. At the same
time they would enter a friendly rival
ry with their neighbors that would be
the stimulous for producing more and
better crops. I believe if these , and
the many other splendid advantages
that an up-to-date county fair offers
to our people were kept before them in
your paper or some other means I am
sure that Warren county could boast
of the best county fair in the State.
If all will pull together we can
make it that, lets pull, all together.

MARINE RECRUITING GOOD
Washington, August .26. Recruit-
ling for the Marine Corps is rapidly
increasing r and i?v expected to reach

summer recruiting this month. Be
fore the war 500 men a month was
considered a fair average for the
smallest of the three branches of the
service, and. the present indications
are that the August figures will easily J
double thj number. .
The Marine Corps is now recruited
to about 60 per cent of its authorized
strength of 27,400, and at the present
rate of progress will reach the maxi
mum number with a few months.
While the passing of the pay and
bonus bills have had a stimulating ef
fect on enlistments, recruiting officers
believe that the educational advan
tages now offered to Marines are
leading large numbers to enlist.
The trouble with many a man is that
he makes too much and saves none of
