SECOND ANNUAL
TOWNSHIP FAIR
To Be Held at Mountain View,
Okla., Sept. 5th, 6th &
7th, 1916.
Arrangments are going forward
rapidly for this big event in Sept-
ember- The big success of last
year will be duplicated and if
possible eclipsed by the one this
year. Two townships of Kiowa
County will be represented here,
Mountain View and Marshall.
Oakdale township in Washita
county will be invited to meet
here also, which will mean that
the products of the three town-
ships, covering an area of 298
square miles will be exhibited at
this place. We have a fine place,
plenty of room, and the citizens
of the town extend a hearty wel-
come to exhibitors and visitors,
and her reputation for hospital-
ity, and ability to show everyone
a good time will be kept up.
The time is not far away, so lets
all get together and make this
annual play day a good one.
The directors of the Kiowa
County Fair for Mountain View
township are W. T. Parnell and
D. W. Study, for Marshall town-
points and how to overcome
them.
This year we are going to have
an Indian Department, which will
be in charge of Rev. and Mrs.
Clouse, where agricultural ex
hibits and Indian handiwork will
be shown.
The premium lists will be out
in a few days. We want some
samples of hard and soft wheat
right now. Run several bushels
through a screen until you get 1-2
bushel of the best. Also sample
1-2 bushel of oats, and a sample
bunch and bale of alfalf^
Remember that other town-
ships in the county are at work,
and are determined to win the
first prize at the County Fair.
We cannot afford that they do
this, and they will not if we set
our minds to win. It will take
the co-operation of all. Now,
let us get together and pull for
our township and our Fair.
For any information desired
call on a member of the commit-
tee, watch the columns of this
paper each week, and for the
premium list and posters later.
1917 Estimate.
The budget of expenses for the
county for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1917, which has just
been approved by the county
commissioners, is $90,000, of
mosity of heart, have seen fit to
install a new switchboard in
their local office here, in the
place of the old board which
has been in use since some time
B. C. The company is remodel-
ing the office entirely, also
enlarging it, and will now occupy
both front rooms oyer the First
National Bank. When completed
Mountain View will have of the
best exchanges in this part of
the state, and with the new board
it is to be such that the patrons
will not have to draw on their
supply of religion to such a
great extent.

the real success or failure dc
pends upon the entire citizen-
ship. They have already ap-
pointed Department Superintend-
ents, and some of them are al-
ready at work. The Superin-
tendents in turn appoint their
assistants, which completes the
organization in charge of the ex-
hibits. This is in line with the
Stale Free Fair law and money
has been appropriated to take
care of the expense. Mountain
View furnishes the grounds and
entertainment. Committees have
been appointed from her citizens
to take charge of this part.
No entry fees will be charged,
but all exhibits shown must be year) by the increase of receipts
by ditizens of the township in from feeSi much of which coming
! will be fixed at 2 3-4 mills by the
county excise board when it
meets the last of the month.
The 1915-16 budget was for
$81,800, or $8,280 less than the
one which has just been made.
Of the former budget $28,993 was
derived from sources other than
taxation, and $52,807 from direct
taxation.
In the present budget, that for
1916-17, the amount to be raised
fiom direct taxation is $9,713 less
than the one preceding it. This
has been made possible, not-
withstanding the increase of
$8,200 in the budget over last
Mental Attitude and Health
It is a common sayiug that our
mental attitude exercises a great
influance over our state of health.
There is no question as to the
general truth of this statement;
it has been oftimes paoven. Yet
in actual conditions to say that
the mental attitud3 influences
health is in a great majority of
cases putting the effect before the
cause, for in every day life it is
good or bad health which more
than any other single factor de-
termines our mental outlook.
Good health does not mean
simply freedom from serious ill-
ness. It means that every organ
of the body is well developed
and properly working.
It is seldom that the man or
woman in good health is gloomy
or morose, it is hard for the per-
son in poor health to be other-
wise. It is human nature to as-
cribe irritation or depression to
outside influences, to business or

The Mountain View Grain Co,
I. W. Gray, M^f, -
ji
gincer who once traveled with a
surveying party in the mountains
under perfect hygenic conditions,
said: “I never saw such a good-
natured lot of rough men. Noth-
ing seemed to make them angry.”
There were many conditions in
tne daily life and work which
tended towards irritation. But
the men were in such exultant
good health that they aid not
heed them. Good health gave
them a buoyant mental attitude.
Hygienic Living and Expense
Too many persons hold in a
sort of yague way the belief that
hygienic living is possible only
for those who are wealthy or at
least well-to-do. There is no
greater mistake. It is true that
for a comparatively small numb-
er living in city tenements or
ghettos, hygienic living is difficult
to attain. But tor most persons
it is the ceeapest of Life’s gifts,
yet one which pays enormous re-
turns. Cleanliness, good habits,
exercise, proper food and water
are not costly.
The direct national expenditure
for liquor, for drugs, for indul-
gences which deterioiate mind
and body is enormously greater
than the total expenditure for
hygienic living. The indirect toll
is even greater, being collected in
loss of efficiency, unhappiness
and misery, wrecked and broken
lives not only for those directly
responsible, but “unto the third
and fourth generation." Hygien-
ic living costs little in either ef-
fort or money compared with the
tremendous dividends it returns.
Protection Against Colds
There is too great a disposi-
tion among Americans to regard
a cold as a trivial evil at worst

hygiene will also wholly prevent
colds.
First it is well to train the skin
so that it is not susceptible. One
should accustom themselves to a
gentle draft. Cool balhnig is an-
other important feature of skin
training. The wearing of loose
porous clothing and exercise in a
cool room without clothing are
valuabe measures. Persons ac-
customed to too heavy Clothing
are more liable to colds than per-
sons used to lighter garments.
Overheated rooms predispose
persons to catch cold. Living
out of doors as much as possible.
and especially exercise and deep
breathing of the outdoor air are
of great value. Too great fatigue,
oyer-eating and constipation all
increase the liability to colds.
After a cold has actually been
caught these rules should be to a
degree reversed. Drafts, vari-
able temperature and any severe
"skin gymnastics" should be a-
yoided. This seems to be a par-
adox, but is no more so than that
exercise tends to keep a man
well, but after he is sick rest
rather than exercise is needed.
Card of Thanks.
We desire to thank the friends
and neighbors, and especially the
R. N. A. lodge, for their assist-
ance and sympathy during the
illness and death of our little
daughter.
