FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1011. THE FAIR. By the time this pap"er is in the hands of its readers, the Forty-Ninth Annual Wayne County Fair will have passed into history. The real success of the Fair seems to have answered the objections of those who thought It came too early. Everybody seems to have enjoyed It and to many, ourselves Included, it will be a matter of regret that it did not last out the week. With a few small exceptions, the order at the Fair was excellent and the two gallant members of the State Constabulary must have been bored to death for lack of a little excitement. All In all, the Association may congratulate Itself on the Fair as a whole. :0: TROUSERS FOR WOMEN. No less a person than Dr. Dudley A. Sargent, professor of physical education at Harvard has come forth with the statement that women should wear trousers. Dr. Sargent says: " Trousers are a suitable and useful costume for working women and are not a bit more indecent or Immodest than any other eostume. " They are far more hygienic than skirts; they do not gather dust. I think they would do" away with the wearing of corsets, and they give a greater freedom to the body. " We have adopted trousers in the gymnasium. Could women adopt them at their every day occupations they would be going a long step in the direction of right and hygienic living." There seems to be a great deal of truth in the Doctor's remarks. Still, if he really wants to get women to take up the Idea, he should em phasize the number of pocketsin trousers. Every woman wants pockets. Perhaps then the ladies might cast aside the unhygienic skirt for the apparel which doth now proclaim the man. U !--' ' CIl01 ESTIMATES. There seems to be a general disposition among well Informed ob servers, says the Harrisburg Telegraph, to dispute the pessimism in the recent official crop reports. That the yield from AmerUSn farms will be by no means so large as we had hoped last spring that they would be, owing to the increased acreage of cotton, wheat and corn, no one attempts to d spute, but there ' are many who argue that this same increased acreage will serve to keeC the yield well up to the average for the last ten years. And again, it must be borne in mind that all predictions made In ad vance of the cutting of a crop are more or less guess work Sometimes a crop that promises little yields much. Sometimes crops that look fine turn out poor. For example, a few weeks before the early potatoes were harvested in this section, it was supposed that they would be exceptionally plentiful, but when they were plowed up. it was found that the supposl- TU rU'Uimates regarding the aggregates of our farm productlon carefully and conclentiously as they have been made-may prove to be Roomier than the facts warrant. In a country which is continent-wide, comprising all sorts of climates, soils and agricultural conditions, there T auTnts? TJZo to'wy over estimates when the facts WlU ihelarme" of Pennsylvania, as well as those of New York will be interested in the results of experiments with various species of timothy hay by experts of the New York State College of Agriculture. Men working under Prof. H. J. Webber have found that in a trial of nineteen new varieties of timothy an average increase of 850 pounds per acre was obtained. The best variety produced an increase of one ton acre bc(m uuce(1 tliat ls available to the farmers tL experts esUmaf that the value of the hay crop of New York State, can be Increased $10,000,000 a year as the result of the ex periment made by the State College of Agriculture. PROGRESS OF THE TAFT ADM IXISTHATION.

Most eminent experts are employed" in each Department and with liberal ap propriations by the Government the various services of the many Bureaus have been carried on successfully and with advantage to our farmers that have proved invaluable. While the constantly increasing efficiency of this Department would not admit of a saving in expendi tures, yet comparatively the work has been carried on under the pres ent administration more economical ly than ever beforo and is a tribute both to the Secretary and to the President under whose directions the department has shown such progress and attainment. Navy Department. In no department of the Govern ment has there been a greater sav ing, and that too without loss of ef ficiency, than In the Navy Depart ment under Secretary Meyer. A practical reorganization has been put Into effect In every branch of the de partment while great progress has been made In the line of target prac tice, In tho work at Navy Yards and In engineering competitions.

Honesdale, Pa. ,VV; : SSSSS MANAGING ED TOR ASSOCIATE EDITOR ?,. II. HAP.PENBKROH. W. W. HOOD to print the local news in an intcrestinp saved as compared "with previous years. The great transactions of the world have not been and cannot be governed by mere maxims of abstract right. Some day It may bo so, but thus far it never has been so in any age or among any people. Since the dawn of civilization, in the provid ence of God, It has happened that only through agony and the shed ding of blood could the living princi ple contained In the Declaration of Independence tho eternal principle of individual rights and liberty be wrought out. The attitude of the present Chief Executive on the question of color prejudice- In the United States is eo well understood by all that It seems a llttlo like imbecility for any one to misinterpret his standing on thy question. The color line exists, and is so Intricate in character that it Is extremely difficult to fully under stand It In its entirety. Prior to the last presidential con test a large part of the press of the United States declared it to bo a truism that except for tho fear of " negro domination " the 'Southern States would go Republican almost solldlly. This did not mean the total disfranchisement of tho colored vo ter, but the broad statement was made by both tho democratic and rc publican papers of tho country that but for the colored man's ballot Ma son and Dixon's lino would be wiped from the political map: that the Democratic party would then bo left In a sorry plight lor a real live southern issue. A few brief years beforo this Editor Henry W. Brady, one of the South'a famous leaders and, perhaps. Its best Journalist, de clared in a speech in the city of Bos ton, before the Merchants' Assocta tlon. that: Never before In this Republic has the -white race divided on the rights of an alien race. The red man was cut down as a weed, be- cause he hindered the way of tho I American citizen. The yellow man was shut out of this Republic because l. i 1 1 t r i ... 1 UU IB till UiJUll U11U Ull liilUllUi, llie red man was owner of tho land the yellow man highly civilized and as similable but they hindered both sections and are gone. But the black man, clothed with every privi lege of government is pinned to the soil, and my people commended to make good at any hazard, and at any cost, his full and equal heirship of American privilege and prosper ity. It matters not that every race has been routed or excluded. It matters not that wherever the whites and blacks have touched, In any era or any clime, there has been irrecon cilable violence. It matters not that no two races, however similar, have ever lived anywhere, at any time, on the same soil with equal rights, in peace. In spite of these things, we are commanded to make good this change of American policy which has not, perhaps, changed American prejudice to make certain here what has elsewhere been impossible between whites nnd blacks and to reverse, under the very worst condi tions, the universal verdict of racial history. " Wo are driven to this superhu man task with an Impatience that brooks no delay, a rigor that accepts no excuse, and a suspicion that dis courage frankness and sincerity. BEING A "GOOD FELLOW." Every now and then we hear of some one dying in bitter poverty af ter having spent a fortune In " being a good fellow." Of such a one It ls commonly said while he is alive and spending that ho has a " heart like an ox and a hand always deep in his pocket;" he is spoken of fre quently within his own hearing as a " prince among men " or " one of nature's noblemen." It seems passing strange, says the New York Herald, that a man with the power to attract to himself so many warm friends should not have any willing to pay his funeral expen ses. Yet such is often the case. It is a fact frequently commented on 'by philosophers that these peerages of cafe creation die with the fortunes that produced them. A real " prlnco among men " or " nature's noble man " loses his title when his money ceases to burn holes in his pocket, after which he should set aside a lit tle money for his own obsequies. But those who argue from the for lorn and friendless passing of one of these good fellows ' that there are no real friends to be had In this world are wrong. Every one can mako 'friends, and staunch ones, too, by the practice of unselfishness, but not by wasting money on the worth less In the vain hope of being consid ered a " good fellow," which is mere ly another name for a complete fool. It is not he who " gives to every one who asks," but he who seeks out those who are too proud to ask and relieves their necessities, who awak ens genuine gratitude and attaches to himself the sort of friends that are worth having. Such a man, how ever, Is seldom termed " a good fel low." RIVERDALE. Special to The Citizen.' RIVERDALE, Pa., Aug. 17. George Kubach, Sr., son Henry and Miss Elizabeth Kubach, Newark, N.

THE AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER Wo hope our readers have been helped by tho series of articles on "Color Photography." of which the following is the closing chapter: "Color photography has proved some things about tho properties of light which were nover known be fore except In theory. For instance, it has been able to demonstrate that there are colors so reiincd that tho human eye cannot perceive thom. just as there are sounds of such high pitch that tho ear ls Insensible to thein. In tho range of vlslblo colors of the spectrum, of the rain bow, the extreme colors are red and violet. BUt beyond these, Invisible to the human eye, are other colors, known to scientists as ultra-violet and infra-red. That these invisible rays of light existed was proved in theory by chemists, but It remained for color photography to demon strate them visually. Photographs have been mado with these ultra light rays, the uso of a lens exclud ing all but the Infra-red rays being especially successful. In photo graphs made with this light, the lights and shadows of ordinary sun light as they appear to the eye are exactly reversed and the sun appears to cast a deep shadow while the shade of a tree or a wall appears as a luminous light."

They become Tonderfeet first and must remain In that class one month beforo they are eligible to take tho examin ation for tho second class scout. This examination Includes first aid, lighting of fires, cooking and the points of tho compass. The test for the first class ls still more rigorous. The boy must show fairness In vari ous lines of work and study. Ho must be systematic in cooking, must know how to read a manual correct ly, and show thafhe can cut down trees, judge distances, can swim, at least, fifty yards. After having taken the test of the first class scout, ho ls stimulated to further activity by tho hope of get ting various merit badges. There are some sixty different activities touching tho phases of boyhood llfo, for which 'merit badges aro offered. The boy must pass examinations b- rore no can get such a uauge. if l wins 21 such badges he ls entitled to the Eaglo Scout Badge, which is an emblem of honor. The making of the Boy Scout re quires the expenditure of much money by tho national organization, necessitates the writing of many let ters, and the thoughtful attention of men trained In boys' work. Once, however, a boy has become a scout, and Is really Influenced by the acti vities, he is on a fair way to becom ing a useful, upright citizen. Thd leaders of the movement feel that they have accomplished enough If they can give tho boy a training which will enable him to be a good citizen and to make him resourceful. They ask for nothing more. If this is done, there is no doubt, but the Boy Scout Movement will be a per manent organization in this country.
