f BUY 40 ACRES
I TOR FAIR SITE
North Of City On Jacksonport
Road And Purchase Lumber
For Buildings.
While the dates have not been
fixed, Jackson county will havt
a fair this year and all arrange
ments are being made by the di
rectors of the Jackson County
Fair Association to pull off the
big event in October and put it
on a basis that will insure an
annual fair hereafter.
The association has conclud
ed to purchase forty acres of
the Morris tract just north of
the city and the Rock Island
track immediately alongside the
newly proposed Jacksonport
road.
The soil is of such a nature as
to make a splendid track, work
upon which will be begun as
soon as a sufficient rain falls to
put the ground in the right con
dition. The site has cost the
Fair Association $2,000 but this
is thought to be far better than
leasing a site even though the
association funds are low.
At a meeting of the directors
Wednesday, the purchase of 60,
000 feet of cypress lumber from
Miarvin Hare was confirmed and
|»| the latter is rushing the order.
[ This stock is to be used in a
fence 8 feet high about the en
tire 40 acres and the building of
stables for the horses
The grand stand and exhibit
hall are also to be constructed
at once and will be stained to
make them attractive. The
grounds are being cleaned and
prepared for the construction
|p *prork, which is to be rushed as
Isoon as the lumber is available.
A catalogu! will be issued la
51 ter and prizes are to be given
for agricultural and horticultur
al exhibits and the best show
ings of all kinds of stock and
poultry, as well as some good
\purses for trotting, pacing and
running races.
An annual fair for Jackson
county is entitled to your sup
port and you ought to be .a stock
holder. It is for the upbuilding
of the county in many ways and
jp. the success of the first year’s
~ fair will have much to do with
its permanency.

Willing To Meet Trusts Half
Way.
United Press Dispatch
Washington, D. C., July 9. —
With a 3rd conference of the
president with representatives
of big business scheduled for to
day, it is stated on authority
t^at President Wilson has a
greed to meet the big business
concerns of the country more
than half way in his efforts at
co-operation. The President
has tried in his two years’ ad
ministration to put through a
constructive program which re
quires time to work out. Con
sequently there will be no fu
ture elaborate program for'-sub
sequent congresses. He feels
that big business has accepted
the trust program and is no long
er opposing them- As a result
he is considering certain chang
es in pending bills to work less
hardship upon corporations,
without changing them funda
mentally.

Freeport, L. I., July 9—The
story of E. T. Bardes, the in
surance agent who saw a woman
on the lawn of Dr. Carman’s
home at the time Mrs. Louise

been shattered today. The be

vestigation learned that within
ten minutes after the time
Bardes declared he was in front
of the Carman home that he
was visiting a young woman
three quarters of a mile away
The girl told the sheriff that
Bardes was not excited and did
not appear as though he had
been running or walking fast,
nor did he mention the shooting.
A young woman where Bardes
boarded said that he did not
’mention the shooting until
Monday.
Attorney Lew for the de
jfense is now confident that
Bardes’ testimony will be abso
lutely discredited upon cross ex
aminatian. Dr. Carman declares
that his wife is as innocent as a
child.

TO CONFIRM
President Determined To Stand
Pat In Placing Warburg and
Jones On Reserve Board.
United Press Dispatch.
Washington, D. C.,, July 9.—
Paul Warburg, the New York
banker, has finally agreed to the
president’s urgent request to
permit his nomination to the
Federal Reserve Board to stand.
It was then announced that the

The president conferred with
Qfltinl-AWO CVin nv>/I FPU
r^vAiwvvi *_< ^HUMIVVU U11U JL 11VUICVO
and told them that even though
the senate committee reports
unfavorably upon these nomina
tions, he was convinced that he
could secure their confirmation.
Warburg will not appear before
the senate committee under any
circumstances according to
White House information.
The White House has let it
be known that the president will
fight to force the confirmation
of these two men, whom the
president considers purely per
sonal appointments selected for
reasons of peculiar fitness. An
endorsement of Warburg is not
to be questioned by the senate
committee on banking.
