THERE’LL BE A HOT TIME
As this is written there is sound
of hammer and saw in the street
as the (oncessionnaires get ready,
at the lair grounds where the final
entries
being made there is
rustling ¿nd bustling about, on
many faimr throughout the county
where stock is b ing loaded for
the fair there is action and some
where on the road there is a bunch
of mean dis positioned horses com
ing to amuse the visitors at the
Sherman County Fair as they pitch
their attempted riders into the
air.
There is an expectant air about
it all and something of excitement
as well. People are getting ready
to celebrate. The different modes
of getting ready are mearly diff
erent means of expressing indi
vidual preferences. Some will sele-
brate by showing their best calf
on the ranch or the best pig,
ot'ners will celebrate by tossing
caution to the winds and trying to
outguess the little roulette ball,
some by mounting the wild eyed
horse drawn in the bucking con
test. There will be something for
everyone.
And why not? If there is a time
to sow and a time to reap there
must also be a time to exhibit
that which has been reaped. Upon
this basis has been established the
county fairs that add another
holiday for rural people while city
dwellers are celebrating Labor
day. Usually several days are
needed for a fair for a large per
centage of the people In an agri
cultural county usually bring some
exhibit to the fair.
There is something about a fair
that seems to divide seasons just
as the equinox and tfhe solstice
really divide the four parts of the
year. Before the fair it is sum
mer. after the fair it is fall. One
expects the nights to be a bit
cooler because “Well, its after the
fair and getting along in the year.”
Bring on the fair.
HUEY’S HOOEY
It appears that those who (have
been trying to expose Huey Long
menance to good government
and a blantant nusiance now have
a very powerful ally in Senator
Long himself.
Surely nothing could have shown
his true quality to greater disad
vantage than the recent filibuster
against the passage of the defi
ciency bill that carried the appro
priation for the security act. The
rider for which he was talking
would have set a price on cotton
and wheat and might of been some
temporary benefit to farmers of the
south and west although in the
long run it would not have been
of any assistance.
The apparent decline of Long is
a dheerful note in national affairs
for it indicates that people have
begun to think along more solid
lines than those often expressed by
a word similar to the first name of
the Louisiana senator.
