 ment; (16) Johnson, Vienna, July 27. 



Roy Johnson said that county fair 

 ofificials have been very cooperative 

 about holding the tug o'war district 

 finals and have helped the Sports Festi- 

 val a great deal. 



The colorful trap and skeet shoot 

 which last year drew about 2.500 fans 

 and followers is being held in advance 

 of the Sports Festival because of a 

 conflict in dates with a national shoot. 

 This year the shoot will be held Friday, 

 Aug. 12 at the Mather Gun Club near 

 the old airport on route 4 southwest of 

 Springfield. 



The finals of the volleyball and 

 bowling tournaments usually held at 

 Champaign were held in Springfield 

 last spring to avoid hot weather during 

 the festival. 



The climax of the two-day show will 

 be the staging of several final contests, 

 the parade of sports festival champions, 

 and the presentation of trophies.

tooke their litle-ons with them to set 

 corne, which before would aledg weak- 

 ness, and inabilitie; whom to have com- 

 pelled would have bene thought great 

 tiranie and oppression. 



"The experience that was had in this 

 commone course and condition, tried 

 sundrie years, and that amongst godly 

 and sober men. may well evince the 

 vanitie of that conceite of Platos and 

 other ancients, applauded by some of 

 later times; • — that the taking away of 

 propertie. and bringing in communitie 

 into a comone wealth, would make them 

 happy and florishing; as if they were 

 wiser than God. For this communi- 

 tie (so farr as it was) was found to 

 breed much confusion and discontent, 

 and retard much imployment that would 

 have been to their benefite and com- 

 forte. 



"For the yong-men that were most 

 able and fitte for labour and service 

 did repine that they should spend their 

 time and streingth to worke for other 

 mens wives and children, with out any 

 recompense. 



"And for men's wives to be com- 

 manded to doe servise for other men, 

 as dressing their meate, washing their 

 cloaths, etc.. they deemed it a kind of 

 slaverie. neither could many husbands 

 well brooke it. . . . 



"By this time harvest was come, and 

 instead of famine, now God gave them 

 plentie. and the face of things was 

 changed, to the rejoysing of the harts 

 of many, for which they blessed God. 

 And the effect of their particuler (pri- 



vate) planting was well scene, for all 

 had, one way and other, pretty well to 

 bring the year aboute, and some of the 

 abler sorte and more industrious had 

 to spare, and sell to others, so as any 

 generall wante or famine hath not been 

 amongest them since to this day." 



Is Your Fly Control 

 Program Paying Off 

 In Comfort, Profits? 



How is your fly control progran 

 coming along? Your spraying dur- 

 ing the past two or three months 

 should be paying ofl". But don't 

 let down now. Flies breed fast in this 

 hot weather and unless you keep spray- 

 ing you will continue to be plagued by 

 them. 



And don't forget the words of exten- 

 sion Insect Specialist H. B. Petty who 

 says that 90 per cent of a good fly con- 

 trol program is good sanitation. Un- 

 less you eliminate fly-breeding wastes 

 spraying isn't going to have too much 

 effect. 



If you want the best results, there- 

 fore, keep your place cleaned up, spray 

 every building where flies roost, spray 

 under trees where cattle rest. Spray 

 doors and screens. Spray chicken houses 

 and hog houses. The spray solution is 

 cheap. Use plenty of it. Don't slacken 

 now that summer is well under way. 

 Contented animals pay off in larger 

 profits in meat and milk. ■
