Koy Johnson said that county fair 

 ofTicial' have heen very coojjerative 

 aliout holding the tug o"war district 

 finals and have helped the Sports Festi- 

 val a great deal. 



The colorful trap and skect shoot 

 which last year drew about 2..S(K) fans 

 and followers is heing held in advance 

 of the .Sports Festival because of a 

 conllict in dales with a national shoot. 

 This year tin- shoot will be held Friday. 

 Aug. 12 at the Mather (iiin (Auh near 

 the old airport nii route t southwest of 

 Springfield. 



The final.- of the vollevi)all and 

 bowling tournaments usually held at 

 rhampaign were held in Springfield 

 la>t spring to a\oi<l hot \\cath<T during 

 the festival. 



The climax of the two-dav -how will 

 be the staging of several final contests, 

 the j)arade of sports festival champions, 

 and the prt^entation of trophies. 



Failure of an 

 Experiment 



(Cniitinuid fii/m /u.s'i '>) 

 tooke their litle-ons with them to set 

 come, which before would aledg weak- 

 ness, and inabilitie; whom to have com- 

 pelleil 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 conceife of Platos and 

 other aiieicnls. applauded by some of 

 later limes: - that the taking away ol 

 pro|)ertie. and bringing in coinmunitie 

 into a comone wealth, would make them 

 lia[)py and llorishing; as if they were 

 wiser than God. For this commuiii- 

 lie (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 corn- 

 forte. 



"For the yong-men that were most 

 able and fitte for labour and service 

 did repine that they should sjxnd their 

 lime arul sireinglh to worke for other 

 mens wives and children, with out any 

 recompense. 



".And for men's wives to be com- 

 manded to doe servisp for other men. 

 as dressinir their meate. washing their 

 cloalhs. etc.. they deemed it a kind of 

 slaverie. neither could many husbands 

 well brooke it. . . . 



"Bv this time harvest was come, and 

 instead of famine, now God gave them 

 [ilentie. and the face of things was 

 changed, to the rejoysing of the harts 

 of many, for which they blessed God. 

 And the efTecl of their particuler ^pri- 



vate) planting was well seene. 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 

 general! wante or famine hath not been 

 amongest them since to this dav.'" 



Is Your Fly Control 

 Program Paying Off 

 In Comfort, Profits? 



How is your lly control program 

 coming along? ^ our spraying dur- 

 ing the past two or three months 

 should be ])aying off. But dont 

 let down now. Flies breed fast iti thi- 

 hot weather and utdess you keep spray- 

 ing you will continue to be plagued by 

 them. 



.And dont forget the words of exten- 

 sion Insect Specialist U. B. Petty who 

 says that 90 per cent of a good fly con- 

 trol program is good sanitation. Un- 

 less you eliminate (ly-breeding wastes 

 spraying isnl going to have too much 

 effect. 



If you want the best results, there- 

 fore, keep your place cleaned up. sprav 

 every building where flies roost, sprav 

 under tn^s where cattle rest. Sprav 

 doors and screens. Spray chicken house- 

 and hog houses. The spray .solution is 

 cheap. Use plenty of it. Don't slacken 

 now that summer is well under wav. 

 Contented animals pay off in larger 

 profits in meat and milk. •
