MUSSER President A COUNTY FAIR THAT WE ALL SHOULD BE PROUD OF. Cambria County's fifth annual fair is in sesison this week at and it is such a good, great big show that all the citizens of Cambria county can and should feel proud of it The attendance has been good all of the week to date. Monday's attendance shattered all previous counts. Th= fair has become a popular event not only in our own county but all over central and western Pennsylvania. Of course, as the years roll on, it will continue growing bigger and better. It cannot be otherwise with proper man- agement. Even Charles M. Schwab, the “daddy’, of the fair movement and the dreamer of big things is a busy and successful business life, admits that Cambria’s fair has expanded to greater proportions in five years than he had any idea when he ‘pepped up” the bus- iness leaders of the county about six years ago to the county fair move- ment. In prestige Cambria County's fair this week grew by leaps and bounds over any other fair in a five year pe- riod and already the “infant” among the larger fairs of the country is mak- | ing bids for competitive honors against those fairs operating annually for the last half century. The unprecedented large crowd attending the opening of the 1928 exhibit of products of the har- vest fields of a county generally known as a manufacturing center, and not by its fruits of the soil; is taken by the promoters and those who put their dollars with the dollars of Mr. Schwab in building the fair grounds as an en- dorsement of Cambria’s venture. The fair itself may well be called another of Cambria’s industries, remarks the Johnstown Democrat. All the buildings are filled and from a standpoint of physical property, the Cambria county fair grounds has rea- ched a saturation point. Leaders of the fair movement agree that if the popularity of Cambria’s fair continues to grow with the. same phenomenal rate which marked the expansion in the first five years of its existence, it will. not be long before the “plant” must be enlarged to meet the growing demands. When Mr. Schwab put his efforts to the project and interested the business men and progressive farmers cf this county in the fair, he pointed out that he had in mind not something for pro- fit to those who invested their money, but to make possible a place where the people of a county like Cambria, com- posed of diversified industries could gather at least once a year on a com- mon ground for a common purpose of enjoying themselves and also to view on exhibit the “cream” of the other fellows “fruits of labor”—the best bull or heifer or hog in the county, the most attractive jar of preserves, the finest pen of poultry or the biggest po- tatoes. All of this and more is fulfilled at the Cambria fair. The fair is symbolic of the spirit of Ebenspurg, | of the fairs throughout the country is to be found at Ebensburg, with amuse- ment owners, entertainers and conces- sionaires flocking there each fall in in- creasing numbers, the primary idea of a harvest fair has not been submerged by the coming of the amusements, the races and games. The “midway” is popular, but the men, women and children of Cambria | county, by the interest displayed dur- ing this week, in the stock and farm products exhibits, show that the first Minimum charge, |, iq for gq successful fair must be the cattle, hogs, sheep, etc. Even to the city bred, the Cambria County stock exhibit shows what the county fair | project has done for the farmer of the county. In the last five years the stan- dard of perfection has been elevated and today the farmer of Cambria boasts of blooded stock, the equal of the stock breed in several of our east- | ern counties long given over to indus- { trial pursuits. A visit ta the stock | buildings is a concrete example of how in a brief period of five years the Cam- | bria county fair has helped the resi- | dent of this county to help himself. | Taken all in all, the Cambria county fair is fast outgrowing even the big things planned for it. It is a fair to be proud of. Very few localities in the nation can boast as much, population considered. LEGAL NOTICE.

CURTIS PLEDGES PROMPT FARM AID Vice-Presidential Candidate Asks Non-Partisan Solution Under Hoover Leadership. URGES JOINT COMMITTEE Agricultural Situation, He Ex- plains, Is of Deep Economic Importance to Citizens. By U. S. SENATOR CHARLES CURTIS Republican Vice-Presidential Candidate. Senator Curtis, in his Address of Acceptance, stressed the impor tance of prompt action on the question of farm aid. “The prob lem,” he declared, “is of deep- seated economic importance to every citizen without rxgard to oc- cupation or political party.” He added the significant thought that “properly its solution is and al- ways should be, non-partisan.” For the leadership of such a non-par- tisan movement, invo.ving the ex- penditure of hundreds of millions of dollars by the federal govern- ment, he declared that the leader: ship should be Hoover’'s—a man well worthy of the party's choice. HE question of the proper re lief for Agriculture is a try ing and perplexing one. The problem is of deep-seated economic importance to every citizen without regard to his occupation or his political party. Properly, its solution is and always should be, non-partisan. 1 am con- vinced that if a small joint committee of the House and Senate were ap- pointed to study the problem and to find its proper solution, the necessary relief quickly could apd would be af- forded. The Committee could be as- sisted in its task by the advice and most capable ex- experience of the perts on the subject whose services can be obtained. It will be remembered that for years we had great trouble with the problem of settling our standard of value. The failure to settle the ques- tion had brought forth the Greenback Party, and later the Free Silver party. In 1899, that great and able statesman from Maine, Thomas B. Reed, a, point ed a Committee of Eleven to draw a measure fixing the standard of value. In three weeks the committee had agreed upon a draft of a bill, and the Gold Standard Act of 1900 was the result. We have had no trouble with that question since then. If such a committee could settle so satisfactor- ily that great and vexing question, surely a similar committee of able leg: islators specifically charged with the task could agree upon an agricultural relief plan which would be equally satisfactory. The solution will be found, and found promptly. Our party has pledged itself to the development and enactment of measures which will place the agricultural interests of the United States on a basis of economic equality with other industries, to in- sure its prosperity and success. Philosophy of Farming Encouragement of Agriculture al ways has been a Republican doctrine. It is a necessary part of our philos ophy of government. Agriculture is the basic industry of the country and in the very nature of things will ever be so. Whatever is to the detriment of the farmer is, eventually, to the detriment of all our citizens; his wel fare and prosperity are inevitably re- flected in the welfare and prosperity of the whole nation. Many plans for the encouragement of Agriculture have been proposed, and many have been given effect by our party. In the course of my polit ical life every one which in my opin ion promised an appreciable measure of sound relief has had my whole hearted and active support. Of recent years, two farm measures have heen introduced by me in the Senate. Two Democrat members of the House joined in their preparaton and introduction. The first was known as the Curtis-Aswell Bill, It created an Interstate Farm Marketing Association. Its purpose was to pro mote and stimulate the orderly flow of agricultural commodities in com merce, to remove burdens and :e straints on such commodities in com merce; and to provide for the process ing, preparing for market, handling, pooling, storing and marketing of ag ricultural commodities through co-op- THE PATTON COURIER erative marketing associations. The object of this measure was to place the marketing organizations under the ownership and control of the farmers themselves. The other measure was known as the Curtis-Crisp Bill. Its object was to enable the farmers to stabilize their markets against undue and excessive fluctuations; to pre- serve advantageous domestic mar- kets; and to minimize speculation and waste in marketing. Republican Record Without the help which the Repub- lican party has given, the agricultural situation would be infinitely worse than it is. The Capper-Volstead Act gave to the farmer the right to engage in collective buying and co-operative selling. In every possible way the Republican administration has en- deavored to give practical and sub- stantial effect to that right. The Department of Agriculture fills an important place in the work of aid- ing and advising the farmer. It is our policy to widen each year as much as possible the scope of the Department’s effectiveness. In the last year alone, 2,208,172.00 was spent in particularly valuable research work covering nu- merous classes of agricultural prod- ucts, incluling cattle and swine. It is estmated that $4,157,887.00 will be re- quired for this work for the c¢ ming year. Nearly $3,000,000.00 is expend- ed annually by the Department of Agriculture in broadening agricultural mo iets. The development of inland water- ways, and water transportation in general, is of great value to the agri- cultural sections of the country. An extensive project in this regard is now being executed. The last Congress has provided for a barge line to ex- tend from St. Louis to Missouri River points, which when in full operation will bring decided relief in the difficul- ties and cost of transporting farm products. When the loss of the for- eign market for our products was imminent because of insufficiency of ships in which to transport them, ves- sels of the United States Shipping Board were reconditioned and placed in service, thereby saving the market. Tariff protection against foreign competition always has been given to farm products. The Fordney-McCum- ber Toriff Act carries higher rates of duty cn agricultural products than any tariff law in the history of the nation. It has been found that cer- tain of tl:e duties are not high enough to give cdequate protection to some of the prcducts of the farm, and I be- lieve it is the duty of Congress to provide rates high enough to protect such products against foreign com- petition. In addition, by this act, the duties have been lowered on most of the articles the farmers buy or they have been put upon the free list. Appropriations have been made freely to aid the farmers in time of crop failures. The Federal Farm Loan System and the intermediate credit banks have made available to farm- ers, on loans at a low rate of interest, more than $2,500,000,000.00. That effective help has been given to the farmer by the Republican party since it took charge on March 4, 1921, is indicated by the statement of the Washington office of the American Farm Bureau Federation. On page one of its Annual Report dated April t 6, 1923, there appears the following: “The passing of the 67th Congress into history marks an epoch in the undertaking of the American Farm Bureau's national legislative cam: paign. It is not too much to say that the twenty-six laws passed by that Congress, which were initiated and supported by us, are of far more im portance to American agriculture than all the legislation relating to Agri culture passed since the adoption of our Constitution.” Though much has been done to ame liorate the farmers’ situation, still more remains to be done, for there exists today a depression in Agricul ture which in the best interests of all of the people, must be relieved. Women in Government Since the beginning of civilization, the right to vote, which is the right to have a decisive voice in the affairs of government, has been coveted and fought for. When obtained, it has been cherished by its possessors; hedged around with restrictions and qualifications; and extended to others only with reluctance. During the early period of our own government it was not every free man who was entitled to vote. Our present policy of universal suffrage is the growth of the years, and the recognition of woman's rights was particularly slow. My personal stand on the question was at all times firmly and openly in favor of permitting women to vote It is known and recognized that my active aid and support were instru mental to no small degree in procur ing the action of the Senate on June 4, 1919, by which the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was proposed tc the legislatures of the several states, and woman's right to the ballot be came effective August 26, 1920. The mere right to vote, not exer cised, is useless, s a matter of duty women as well 88 men should exercise that right, There are in the United States today between twenty-six and twenty-seven million women over the age of twenty-one, entitled to vote As the years pass, these women are becoming increasingly alive to thei opportunity to take a large and impor tant part in the management and con trol of the country’s affairs; to en force recognition, change and im provement in their own particula) problems and those which most inter est them; and to become a distinct power in deciding all questions of vital concern to every citizen regard less of sex, ADMINISTRATRIX'S NOTICE, In the estate of Gottfried Anderson, late of the Towship of Elder, County of Cambria, and State of Pennsylvania, deceased.
