Mine Run "MINE RUN- product ol a aa of kind not a medlar of ttwufhli or Diction ary The county fair season is again approaching. Here in Greene county we have scheduled three such exhibitions, if we are to class the 4-II club exhibit among them we should. The 4-H affair to be held here is on the program, coming on July 31 to August then the Worthington fair which starts on Aug. 13, and later the Lyons event, August 28 to 31 inclusive. The present prospects are that of these exhibits will be really good exhibitions, some say the best ever, for we are now out of war and there have been better opportunities, more help and everything to prepare for such events.

Like so many other things the county tailor agricultural exhibit or 4-H show is not exactly what it used to be, but there are so many elements that are the same that one does not notice the things lacking the horse races and Uo many improvements that the score is at least evened up, making these outdoor events as popular as they ever were. The fact that we are to have three exhibitions in the county this year is pi oof that Greene countians of today, are as as they used to be away back in our great-grand time. We told this before but it hurt to remind ourselves once more that the first fair or agricultural society was organized in Greene county in 1853 or almost IOO years ago. A fair was held year short distance west of The officers of tins first fair association, however, THE LINTON DAILY CITIZEN Printed in the Heart of Indiana Coal Fields in the State's Finest Corn and Fruit Belt, and in the Finest Trading Center of a 40 Mile Radius Weather Partly cloudy tonight and Wednesday, Possible thundershowers.

FUNERAL SERVICES WILL BE THURSDAY Darlene Sue Franklin, five- year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Franklin of Worthington, died at 1:30 this morning at the Methodist hospital at Indianapolis of complications attributed by physicians to a reaction from taking rabies serum. The girl was bitten by a pet dog at Worthington on June 30 and she whs administered the Pasteur treatment by a Worthington physician.

A few days ago the reaction developed and she was taken to the hospital in Indian- apolis for treatment. Her death was said caused by I an acute inflammation of the I brain which resulted from the administering of the serum. Phy- sicians emphasized that this type; of a reaction was extremely rare.

WASHINGTON, Juiy 23 M.R»— The House, limited to an hour debate, today began final consideration of the compromise bill to revive the OPA. Price control opponents began their attack even before final debate opened.

Rep. Clarence J. Brown, assailed the new legislation as congolmeration of legislative which would "fatten the pocketbooks of the favored Rep. Jesse Wolcott. Mich protested at the customary limit of one debate for house consideration of legislation worked out by a senate-house conference committee.

But he declined to move formally for an addition two hours of argument. Prediction Depended.

House Democratic leader John McCormack, foreoe-t that the bill, despite its three- week mauling at the hands of congress, will be signed by president Truman.

Cherry optism also was voiced on the other side of capitol hill where senate democratc leader Alden W. Barkley, said the senate would act on the bill as soon as it was received from the house. He predicted "no in the senate.
