In the lower floor, aeeorilinif to the
ilan outlined by President fludilis of
the association, the women s exhibit
of the fair will be held on the lower
and mezzanine floors of the building
Those exhibit will include fancy
wink, paintings and examples of the
culinary art. On the. inozzunmc floor
refreshment booths will also be plac
ed. On the second floor ilcdforil
merchants will arrange about twenty
booths along tho side walls, in which
will be displays of local and state
products. As. the room is approxi
mutely 10(1 feel square, it is estimat
ed that a space fifty feet square will
be left in the center to accommodate
the crowd. On one side seats will he
arranged before a stage on which a
: style show interspersed with various
vaudeville stunts will be presented,
following this, 1 lie orchestra which
vill plnv during the evening will

Medford stoics will close during the
early part of Thursday afternoon,
during which time the barbecue will
lake place at the fair grounds, and
the merchants, attired in white np

grounds, and upon the arrival of the
parade of school children at 12
o'clock will assist in the serving. The
parade will form at the Washington

vehicles will be wniting to transport
them to the fair grounds. Following
the barbecue, a field and track meet
wiii be held.
The stores will also close Friday
afternoon to allow every one to be on
hand at the grounds.
Several schemes were outlined for
cnllintr the attention of county resi
dents to the fair, and one of the more
ingenious was that of mailing out
J'4iir-Itl4u, uu'huUn?. them -in., the
monthly statement letters.
The ca. 'nival scheme, it is thought.
will tend to hold people in town dur
ing the evenings and supply some
thing lacked hy the former fair plans
Admission to both the fair grounds
and women's exhibit will he fit) cents
a coupon beinir on each regular
ticket. Thus if a ticket is bought nt
the grounds the coupon will give ad
mission to the exhibit without further
charge.
THE NO GOOD GUI
"The
genuine
Pally
Ko-fiood Ouv'1 abounds
laughs from start to finish,
and it is not often that a livc-ree
feature contains as much continuous
fun. There is hardly n dull moment
mid the rapid pace in which one com
leal incident follows another
liances the enjoyment, it is a com
lunation of ntlributes that make:
this picture so thoroughly entertain
ing, chiefly being the -ability of the.
star, William Collier, the situations
and the illuminated subtitles.
Mr. Collier's easy manner in get
ting his laughs is effective. It may
be Ike broadest of comedy, but that
fact does not keep it from being ab
solutely legitimate. In scenes too
numerous to mention he is excruciat
ingly funny and they can he consid
ered amusing to the highest degree.
Several of these stand out-from the
others as they are a shade more hu
morous, among which are the incident
in the court and the scene where
Jimmy Coghlnn's valet puts him to
bed in a rather intoxicated condition.
Some business with the cigar is ex
tremely clever.
It would make no difference if the
story of '-The X,-.-0ood Guy'' was not
interesting, ns Collier could carry
the piece to success, but it is ex
tremely good, nevertheless. It may
not be entirely new in theme, hut is of
the type suited to the talents of the
comedian. Jiuiniv (.oghlun is no
good, npd his escapades lead him
into all manner of troubles, which
finally wind nn in n police court, lie
is released from the jail through th
effort of his politician uncle, nnd on
his freedom he starts n detective
agency. . The supposed victims of a
bomb plot come to him to find the
criminals and in the chase he joins
the gang of thugs. The end is n sur-
price when he catches the man higher
up. -
The subtitles arc illuminated with
cartoons that arc apropos of th
snappy and amusing sentences and
they add to the amusement. This

WASHINGTON". Aug. 29. The
ownership of American -railroads Is
concentrated In the bands of a small
number of enormously wealthy In
dividuals and corporations.
'More than 40 per cent of railroad
stork Is owned by the 20 largest
stockholders on each at the roads.
These figures are taken from the
records of the Interstate , commerce
commission for the present year, and
are not subject to question.
The 169 railroads with revenues
of more than $100,000 on .lime ail,
1915, had outstanding 83,41X,Tn
shares of stock. Of this, the 20
largest stockholders on each road
owned 35,045,10:,. shares, or 43 per
cent ot the tootal.
These roads reported 53(1, SS4
stockholders, but their detailed re
ports show that less than 3000 in
dividuals and corporations, who con
stituted the 20 largest stockholders
on the various roadB, owned more
than 40 per cent ot the stock, and
theroforc, were In a position ot abso
lute control.
AH authorities agree that the
ownership of more than 20 per cent
of a railroad's stock gives control.
A preliminary examination indi
cates that the list ot 20 largest stock
holders of the various roads actually
represents less than 2000 different
Individuals and corporations. For
example, the Central Trust Co., of
'New York appears In connection with
13 roads, the Pennsylvania Railroad
Co., as the principal owner of 14,
and various individuals are repeated
from two to a dozen times.
These are the interests standing
In the way ot settlement . of the
threatened railroad strike. The rail
road presidents and managers, who
are in Washington, are Bimply their
messenger boys. They are in the
limelight; but back In the shadows
are the representatives of the great
financial interests, the real owners
of the railroads.
If the' "messenger boy managers"
do not bring President Wilson to the
right answer to his proposal for the
settlement of the dispute, his next
move, It Is understood, will Do to
summon to the White House the real
owners of the railroads Morgan,
Gould, Vanderbilt, Baker, Schiff,
Huntington, Hill, Rockefeller and the
other great individual holders aid
banking representatives.
The meeting will be the greatest
event since the civil war. The real
owners ot America will be brought
face to face with the power of the
people, by whose sufferance alone
they continue to exercise tholr sov
ereignty. -
In tomorrow's article, I will show
the different roads the concentra
tion ot ownership, and later, I will
show who the actunl owners ure and
how much they own.

SAX FRANCISCO, Aug. 20.
England bus obtained a firm bold on
the revoliitionarv situation iu India,
and although the flames of revolt
have spread from Calcutta to Af
ghanistan and in the regions to the
south, the scditisnists have no chance
to. overthrow the government, un
cording lo American tourists return
ing hero recently from Asia. Riot
ers: huve killed thousands of native
soldiers, friendly Hindus nnd ninny
lirilish, and in turn have been exc
culed in scores by the F.nglish gov
ernment in payment for their crimes
Blood tins been drawn bv revolu
tionists in the Punjab country to tin1
northwest, there have been fights on
tho Itnjputaiia desert, as far west as
the Sind country, nnd as far cast as
Calcutta, rioters have started trouble
and outbreaks have even occurred
far to the south, in Humility mid on
the island of Ceylon.
British soldiers stand guard at all
passes of the Sumeilan mountains to
keep tho revolutionary Mohammed
ans of Alghnnistan lrom pressing
down into India and spreading their
doctrines of revolt. The British or
dered the armed native Sikh troops
out of India within two weeks niter
the Kuropeun war started, to clear the
country of armed natives. Hindus nre
not allowed to possess firearms nnd
tourist, carrying gnus into ,tho conn
try must agree not to sell them to
Hindus.
The British nre ntleinnling to let
Hindu Buddhists fight the Molinm
mcdans, thus letting tho revolutionist
fight things out among themselves.
Hints nnd uprisings against Brit
ish rule have occurred in India for
years past, the tourists say, but
never so frequently as since the be
ginning of the European war. The
natives riot because they do not like
the British mode of governing India
the tourists say. "England governs
India for F.nglund and not for In
din," is said to bo native belief.
The riots usually tako the form of
attacks on nutivo inline by the fight
ing Hindus. Often the fighters nt
tack villages friendly to the British
and kill inaiiv of the peaceful natives
who spend their time tilling the soil
instead of fighting.
