In age 1 knew the mountains But my wings could not follow my vision. Verily, genius Is wisdom and youth.” It is often sahl “ IPs the kids that m ake the lair" and sse ana- |»ect It is true in many respect«. And it« Just as w ell it is that way.

Kids are interesting. We might make something out of the kids. Time an adult has lived through 30 to •10 years he or she is so set in his ways he can’t change. But by that time he’s got some kids that have a fresh viewpoint. More and more agencies that are trying to change the worl ' or something about it I are working on and with kids, J ta kin g a generation of time In- L stead of trying to impress a de- I veloped mind, it would he pleasant | to rejxirt that all such agencies were correct in their alms. If they are not we’ll have to depend on the kids to find it out. They w ill too. Sherman County Fair September 8-9-10-11 For being young is being new It is a period of learning about the world, of seeing everything with new eyes, and finding it in teresting. So long as one can con tinue learning, look at things with a new viewpoint and find it interesting he can continue to Is» youthful. In mind, that is. The legs may lx? limber, the arm feeble ■nd the eye dimmed, hut as long as there is interest in new things age is not in control and youth still continues. Kids do nearly all the sh ow in g and fittin g for the fair. T hey are so anvloiut to do ev ery th in g right, Just strain to get the steer’s feet In the right place or his heavy head p oin tin g straight ahead. Old. stern leaning on the fence are pleasi'd and rem em ber the days when they, tin», used to try to do things. Now, chaneea are, they don’t. Chat Is the reason they are oldsters. It Is th e kids w h o g et there early in the m orning to curry and w ash and Iced and curl; it is the kids w h o lead stock in the parade and get pulled around by an an i mal w eig h in g ten tim es as much w hen the crow d breaks into cheers; it is the kids w h o eat the ham burgers. And, if the facts m ust he told, it is the kids w ho get most of the prize m on ey— because they earn it. Be that as It may it is the kid that stand in the arena hour af ter hour while the judge walks slowly aroun I and around the line of fat steer* probing here and feeling there, putting this one up a no’ eh and that one down until he has them lined up to suit him (and then like as not change them). It is the kids who go through that strain although w? have seen parents who acted more nervous.

Now a man can make that much in a day and not get up at four o’clock either. So there wasn’t much money to spend on fairs. But what there was went a long ways, a whole candy cane could lie bought for a dime and admission lo a side show was the same price. There were no prizes for kid’s exhibits so they could win some money. There is a perpetual argument on about the coming generation. Oldsters like to sav that kids are having too easy a time and it’s true. Also it is true of the elders, themselves. It is. however, a good thing to have some hard times to sort of toughen up the fibre of the Individual although no one likes to get toughened that way. Sherman County Fair September 8-9-10-11 o
