TRADES DAY
BIG SUCCESS
MANY PEOPLE HERE TO
TAKE PART IN CONTEST
Thursday, September 4th, was
one of the , most successful
Trades Days in the history of
Mexia. Almost every farmer in
Mexia's trade territory was here
and brought his family.
The spirit that prevailed dur-
ing the day was commendable.
Several farmers made entries
just to show their neighbors
what they were doing, not ask-
ing for any prize at all. Those
that won were happy and those
who lost congratulated the ones
that won.
It is estimated that at least
seven thousand people were in
town yesterday. Of this num-
ber the great part of them were
from the rural districts.
It was a great day and should
be repeated every year.

AS
YET NO NAMES HAVE
BEEN LET OUT
The "News man has endeavor-
ed to get a list of the names of
those who were successful in the
Trades Day contest, but as yet
Mr. Riddle has not been able to
get a list and requests the News
to state that they will be ready
fpr publication by Saturday.
When we consider that the en- j
tries were made by number and
not by name, then we can readily |
understand why it is so much;
trouble to turn these nu mbersj
into the names of those who took
part in the contest.

Washington, Sept. 5—The re-
action from high prices estab-
lished during the war has set the
Federal Reserve Boards to re-
viewing the business conditions
of August, and they say that not
only some foodstuffs are de-
clining in cost to the consumer,
but that the price of apparel
such as shoes, textiles, etc.,are
also. -

MISS PEARL ARNOLD CANS
FINE TOMATOES
The hogs and chickens, which
were shown here Thursday,were
the best. The hogs weighing
from 750 pounds down and the;
chickens ranging in price ffom
$25 to 25 cents.
As yet we are unable to an-
nounce the winners, but it is cer-
tain that the judges had a hard
time deciding who deserved the
prizes.
The display should prove to be
an incentive for more thorough
chicken and hog raising.

—
Little Miss Pearl Arnold,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. M.
Arnold, won the first prize in the
tomato canning contest at the
Trades Day exhibit.
Miss Arnold's prize was artis-
tically put up and presented a
most favorable appearance. Her
work ranked among the best
that the judges had seen.
This feature of the Trades
Day showed clearly what a girls'
canning club can do. Let's train
the girls to be artists in this line
of work. The News-Herald, as
well as the older folk, wish to
congratulate this young lady on
her achievement.
AUSTRIA Ts
INDIGNANT
Associated Press Report.
Geneva, Sept. 5.—The Aust-
rian Peace terms have been re-
ceived in Vienna with the great-
est indignation, according to ad-
vices. It'is believed that the Ren-
ner Government will fall as a
consequence. Monarchian cir-
cles consider the terms to have
definitely killed any hope of the
return of the Hapsburg and For-
mer Charles, who has decided to
leaVe Switzerland.

St. Louis , Sept. 5.—Presi-
dent Wilson arrived today in St.
Louit at four-twenty this morn-
ing on his third swing around
the Nation, this time in defense
o fthe League of Nations and the
entire Treaty. After leading a
seven mile parade this afternoon
the President talked at the Cham
ber of Commerce at noon, but he
makes his principal address to- j
night at the Coliseum where he
was nominated for the Presiden-1
cy in 1916. He leaves for Kan-;
sas City at eleven-forty-five to- j
night.
The President headed the par-
ade throu ghthe principal streets
and was given a great ovation.
When he appeared on the rear
platform of the train thousands
broke through the military cor-
don and surrounded the Presi-
dential train. The officials had
difficulty in preserving Order.
A committee of women enter-
tained Mrs. Wilson.
Rev. S. S. Campbell, of Forney
was in the city today on business
Associated Press Report.
Swansea, Wales, Sept 5.—
(Correspondence of the Associa-
ted Press)The vacation season is
furnishing ample evidence that
South Wales, once noted because
of the low wagea of its people
is* now enjoying a prosperity
which admits of luxuries for
miners and their families hither-
to unknown.
Colliers who easily make $40
a week even at their seven-hour
day, and steel workers who make
$90, are much in evidence, their
particular sport being flying.
Some of them have been up in
the pleasure flying machines
half a dozen times, and every
time it costs them $5. Many of
them have their own motorcy-
cles* and some have automobiles,
an unheard of extravagance
even in the munition manufact-
uring days.
But the aristocrat of all work-
;men about Swansea is the coal
trimmer who works on the
docks. Five of them work to-
gether and experience no diffi-
culty in clearing up $100 a week.
They have so much work to do
that the best of them frequently
j have t osublet their turns to les-
\ ser paid men and thus they earn
more while they sleep.
General cargo workers loading
and unloading ships easily earn
j from $40 to $50 a week, while
! foremen who have a share in the
| earnings of each gang uncter
them frequently count $150 for
a week's labor.
Contrasted with the wages
paid before the war, the figures
given are almost unbelieveable,
for South Wales was known as
one of the poorest paid districts.-
even in Great Britan.
