"In days gone by the cavalry was
charged with securing information.
Now In modern warfare the condition
is changed. An army without a good
aerial fleet would be absolutely help-
less. The aviators fly over the enemv

PERMANENT COUNTY
FAIR ASKED FOR
Will the board of 'county commis
sioners hearken to the clamor of the
farmers of Grady county for a $00000
bond Issue for a permanent county
fair? That is a question which is be
ing asked today by the 21t members
of the fraternity whose names are
subscribed to a petition which has
been filed with County Clerk Bradley
asking for the calling of an election
for that purpose. The answer is also
waited with interest by many other
farmers who believe they are entitled
to have a good show to come to ac-
cording to toilers of the soil who have
espressed themselves on the subjoct.
The petition bearing this large num-
ber of names will be presented to tin
board by the county clerk early in the
session for action and in the event of
the board agreeing to call the election
it may be voted on during the general
election in November with practically
no extra expense to the county except
for advertising.
Those farmers who are most active?
in tho matter declare that the Grady
county agriculturist is entitled not on-
ly to a place to show his products but
to an opportunity to acquaint himself
with the ways an! means adopted by
hia co-workers who are successful in
the raising of crops and stock. They
contend that a fair is an education to
the farmer who on a single visit and
at a minimum expense may gather in-
formation and data which could other-
wise be gained only at considerable
cost and inconvenience. He may also
inspect new inventions in the way of
farming implements and note the pro-
gress of farmers in various communi-
ties to say nothing of the pleasure the
outing would furnish to himself and
family . '
Before tho session1 of the commis-
sioners convenes in October term on
Monday County Clerk' Bradley will
have thoroughly investigated tho mat-
ter and will determine whether the
copies bear the requisite number of
signatures to call for action. The pe-
tion reads as follows:
"To the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners of Grady County Ok-
lahoma: "We the undersigned citizens of
Crady county hereby petition your
honorable body that immediate steps
bo taken looking to the issuing of
bonds for the sum of $60000 or such
sum as may be necessary for the pur-
pose of establishing a free fair in Gra-
dy county. We believe that the Inter-
ests of the county demand that imme-
diate action be taken so that the
grounds buildings etc. may be in
readiness this year." I
E. Smith of Chickasha Okla. dupli-
cated the performance with Spring-
field Chief his wonderful 3-yeur-old in
the 2and 3-year class.
"When the jacks were matched for
championship judgment both Smiths
had won four first and honors were

ship award was given to Springfield

A WAR ODDITY
By United Press.
London Sept. "0. Here's one
soldier's formula for killing
trench rats: Put a piece of
cheese on the end of a the bay-
onet and when the rat comes
up to nibble pull the trigger.
The casualties are 09.44 per
cent
ble eagle of Germany. It takes about
eight weeks for one of these young
Britishers to develop from an unsteady
yellow fuzzy creature Into a defiant
grey bird of prey. Usually two
months tutoring in and arouLJ these
flying school buildings sends a young
flying bird direct to the firing line in
France where his still growing wings
are put to the actual test of war.
A'group .of large hangars surround-
ing a concrete fortlike buildings all
constructed since the beginning of the
war loomed up suddenly over a hill
as an international party of journalists
motored onto the plain. The Bcene
might have come out of the movies
from Arizdna; or New . MxieO. f The
buildings might have been one of those
newly constructed movie towns.
America's infantile flying service
could learn a lot at this British flying
college. Much of the equipment which
made the British "nest" came from tho
United States but the knowledge the
more important part came from
Northern France. "Professors" of fly-
ing who summon their classes at fix
ed hours of the day didn't learn from
books. They dragged their knowledge
from the school of actual experience
since August 1914.
A Providence R. I. firm could fur-
nish jiny American eagle "nest" with
big lathes such as were seen today
in one of the big buildings where air
students are taught some of the tech-
nical points of learning to fly. There
were aeroplane engines blocked up
for demonstration which came to Eng-
land from a well known engine facto-
ry in Connecticut. Another building
housed sewing machines for stitching
fabric for aeroplane wings. These
sewers bore a name known in every
American household. Neat little guns
peering over blunt noses of fast mono-
planes spat their first test bullet on
American soil. Somewhere else in the
camp the wireless was bi.zzing away.
The slow dots and dashes were dis-
tinctly heard from a double headpiece
which the correspondent adjusted to
his ears.
"What are they saying?" was asked
"That's the German wireless at
Nauen sending its daily wheeze to
Sayville L. I. and elsewhere" re-
plied a student wireless operator.
There are other American things in
the "eagle's" nest.
When young eagles soar to great
heights and aim their dummy prac-
tice bombs at slowly moving objects on
the ground these objects are often
bugliko harvesting machines reaping
yellow wheat in fields which skirt the
edge of the plain. The harvesters are
never bomber but they make excellent
"aiming" and represent what at tho
frnnt would probably be an enemy
gun.
Violent Fighting.

London Oct. 3. Tho Uulgars today
attacked the Roumanians who crossed
tho Danube and Invaded Bulgaria Sun-
day. A violent battle is raging east of
Rustchuk.
n Amsterdam dispatch reports that
Roumanian monitors silenced the Bul
garian shore batteries and the invad
era landed with little (fll'ficulty.
Petrograd reports that General Mac
kensen has ordered the evacuation of
Silistra and Tutrakau after the Rou-
manians had crossed the Danube.

Berlin Oct. 3. The efforts of. the
von Tirpitz party to force the resump-
tion of submarine warfare will bo re-
jected as the result of conferences
which are being held at secret sessions
of the reichstag committee today it is
generally believed. '
"We wish to live in peace and friend-
ship with America" said Ernest Bas-
serman the a?ed leader of the nation-
al liberal party "but undoubtedly there
is a bitter feeling hero because Amer-
ican ammunition enables our enemies
to continue the war." If America
should succeed in forcing England to
obey International law restore the
freedom of the seas and would proceed
with American energy against K.ng-
land and the brutal! zation of the neu-
trals it would have a decisive Influence
on the political relations between the
two countries."
A public discussion of the whole
question Is expected to take place
when the reichstag convenes Thursday.
