AUGUST HESS IS 80;
TEACHES S.-S, CLASS
North Canton's "Grand Old
Man" Is Active At His Work
In the Factory and His Erect
Figure Is Seen Daily Mingling
Among His Fellow Men.
HE    IS    A   SAFE   ADVISOR
Told Without
Varnish
By BEN LONG
August Hess was SO years af age
last week, and he received many assurances of personal esteem from the
residents of North Canton. The'Men's
Bible class of The Community Christian cliurcli, of which lie is one of thc
teachers, sent him a large and beautiful bouquet of choice (lowers. Ralph
Young, president of the class, presented the bouquet, and wished Mr. Hess
many  more  years  of  active  life.
The Sun takes this opportunity to
extend to August Hess heartiest congratulations. He is in every sense a
"Grand Old Man," and he belongs to
a school that is fast vanishing.
A  Safe Advisor
When-the great Roman orator and
lawyer, Cicero, was making his noble
appeal for Ligarius before no less a
Judge than Julius Caesar, he uttered
the fine sentiment that man can approach no nearer to God than in giving  safety  to  men.    »
In wisely guiding the Junior Men's
class for years, and in advising the
Senior Men's class, August Hess gave,
and gives, safe advice whenever he
speaks.
He has a great gift of a fine sense
of humor; he loves a good story and
few can tell one better. He has the
saving element of humor, which, like
a ray of sunshine, permeates most of
the relations of human life.
Enjoys Fellowship
He is not, as some men of his years,
a recluse who knows little beyond his
home and his church. He enjoys the
companionship of his fellow-men, and
he is active at his bench in The
Hoover  factory.
August Hess is held in great respect by all jortun.ile enough co
know him. His erect, familiar figure
is seen daily on the streets of North
Canton, and The Sun .sincerely hopes
that it will be many years before he
passes.
Responsibility
M e n a n (1
women remind
me of a running' race in
which a number of horses
are onto red.
Some quit .before they start
— "scratched
at the post"—;
others make
the first quarter with much
s p e e d , then
slacken their
pace, and become "also rans." They
are just plain quitters. Afraid of responsibility.
t t t
A man who thinks mainly of himself and of getting through life with
the least amount of responsibility will
not take on any sort of leadership.
He will remain a private, a very private individual, and thus escape the
criticisms, annoyances, anxieties and
jealousies  that  leaders know.
Fear is perhaps the main .thing
from which we all need to be delivered
in shouldering the responsibilities of
life—the fear of failure, the fear that
the things against us are too great
for us. Such fears paralyze. They
rob us of initiative. They are themselves an invitation to defeat.
t     1     i
Men do not leap into responsibility.
They grow into it. They prepare for
it by lesser acceptances through the
years. That is why we should never
seek to evade responsibility, why we
should refuse to listen to the selfish,
cowardly voices which remind us how
responsibility will call for discipline
and possibly eat into our leisure.
No man gets very far in the service of his fellows unless he has an
ambition to serve, and to count in
some enterprise that matters. There
are poor dull souls who feel no stirrings of that sort, especially in youth.
Such  fellows are to be pitied.
STATE FAIR TO OPEN
MONDAY, AUGUST 28
This Year, According to Director Hanefeld, the Buildings
and Grounds Will Be Crowded
With Exhibits Representing
Agriculture and Business.
EXPECTS  RECORD  CROWDS
ROTARY CLUB
Meets On Thursday At (i—N. C. Band
At 'Children's Camp.
Rotary dinner tomorrow (Thursday)
evening at 6:30 in The Community
Christian  church  dining  hall.
Last Thursday evening the Rotarians and their wives and members of
the North Canton Community Band
enjoyed an excellent dinner and then
went to the camp for crippled children in the Lake Cable area.
The band played for the youngsters
and merit prizes were awarded to a
number of the "kiddies".
The camp closes this week. It is
sponsored by the Rotary club of Canton and each year children return
(home refreshed and strengthened by
the  outing.
N. C. SCHOOL NOTES
As 1 See It
Foggy Hopkins Joyce, beautiful
blonde actress, says "the perfect' man
isn't easy to find." As Peggy has been
married merely five times what does
she know about matrimony'.' When
the charming Peggy has had more experience she'll be in a better position
to talk.
You have always noticed that Cupid is provided with wings, but you
probably never suspected why. I can
tell you. The little rascal is given
wings so that he can make a quick
get-away and escape the wrath of the
many couples he mismates. In other
words, the best bow-and-arrow expert
misses the bullseye occasionally.
■ "Women are less outspoken in their
praise of men," remarks the Listener
in the Boston Transcript. They are,
brother, they are. They may wheedle
and look unutterable things, but their
art is too delicate and subtle to. be
detected by the dull faculties of the
ordinary he. When she says to him
softly, "I think you're wonderful,"
j there's nothing more to do but send
for the parson.
Fall Term Opens Sept. 11-

-Bids  For
Bids for coal to be supplied the
North Canton public schools for this

In order to avoid conflict with
Labor day and the Stark County Fair
the public schools of North Canton
will open on Monday, Sept. 11. All
high school pupils who .have not registered will be given an opportunity
to do so on Monday, Aug. 28. This
includes pupils who wish to change
their program, pupils who attended

Fine job printing at The Sun office.
Sun printers know how.
Bill Evans asked me yesterday if I
had ever met an "unsnubbable, un-
squelchable individual with a rhino-
hide and hammer-proof head." Not
only have I met one, but several of
the species, Bill. They visit The Sun
oll'ice about the time there is a state
and countv election  in  Ohio.
There are two things that are remarkable about human nature. One
is its unexpectedness. The other is
unconquerable courage. Human lilies
blossom unexpectedly in the foulest
slums. Rank weeds suddenly rear
their heads in the most carefully cultivated human gardens. They are unexplained and unexplainable. But
wherever you look mankind has progressed because it has never known
when it was beaten. Because of that,
it never has been beaten.
The Ohio State Fair opens on Monday, August 2X, and closes on Saturday, September 2, on the fair grounds,
Columbus, which have long' had the
reputation of being the finest in the
nation.
To quote an opening announcement
of Director Hanefeld: "Thc fair is
the foremost of its kind in America.
This year, as in other years, it will
faithfully mirror the improvement of
Ohio agriculture and allied industries.
The mammoth exposition buildings
and the extensive grounds will be
crowded with exhibits representing' the
best in all lines of progressive
thought."
Many   Improvements   Noted
Many improvements can be pointed
to in the fair this year. For example the cattle department this year
includes the National Shorthorn show,
which brings together the greatest exhibit of shorthorns, polled shorthorns
and milking shorthorns ever shown at
any agricultural exposition.
The poultry department is in a bigger and better building.
The racing department has a better
card  than ever.
Many minor details of improvement
combine to make it the greatest fair
in  history.
Improvement in business, and new
hope on the farm will increase attendance at the fair in a marked degree,
Manager Beer believes. He has sent
an appeal over the state and nation
to agriculturalist and public not to
miss this eighty-third state fair.
How  Premium Money Is Spent    ■
Within the six days of its life'-the
State Fair will distribute .•flOS.u.SG in
premiums for the many thousands of
exhibits which will be in its halls am!
stables during the week of the  Fair.
Beef breeds will take the greatest
silicic part of the money, $l:j,uii_). The
next single item will be ^10,!lSfi.2">
which is to be spent upon the Junior
Fair oi* which the state fair management is so proud. A third item in size
is dairy breeds on which the fair will
lavish  $10,595  in awards.
Admission 25  Cents
In keeping with the times, Fair has
fixed the lowest general admission
price offered the public in many years.
Adults and children more than six
years of age will be admitted for 25
cents each.
It will cost a quarter, also, for an

Arthur Brisbane, of whom The Sun
has spoken complimeiitarily many
times, unlimbered his typewriter the
other day and turned loo-e the following blast in his "Today" column in
the daily papers:
"Every man who works in a
big city, and that means EVERY
MAN OF IMPORTANCE
THE UNITED STATES, is
terested in protection against
attacks."
Fie, fie, Arthur, would you insinuate that there are no important men
in this country except tho..e who work
in  a  big city'.'
Have you forgotten, r r did you ever
know, that some of our most illustrious and useful ciii'.a ns live ill small
cities, some of them even in country
towns'.'
And are you blind to the fact that
many of our most brilliant Senator.-
and Congressmen are from the small
towns, some of them from'the farms?
Arthur Is Forgetful
And don't you know, Arthur, that
many of the most illustrious citizens
of the sunny southland live on plantations, far, far from the turmoil of
big cities?
And can you not lecall, Arthur dear,
that many of our great colleges and
universities, with their learned educators, are located many miles from
any metropolis?
And can not you remember, oh
mighty and prolific writer, that the
great west is dotted with men of
brains and capacity who are daily creating a mighty empire out of plains
and hills that once resounded with
wanvhoops of lawdess and savage
men? And that these magnificent empire builders live in modest or humble homes, miles and miles from any
big city?
And may we remind you, if your
brain is still capable of absorbing ordinary intelligence, that a great many
newspapers in small cities and country towns print one of your column:-
each week, for which you receive
generous compensation ? Aren't you '.
just a little ashamed, Arthur, to bite '
tile hand that puts bread into your
mouth ? ]
Our Local  People
You insinuate that there is NO ONE :
OF IMPORTANCE IN THIS TOWN, j
Knowing- our  local  people as  we  do,
we cannot agree with you.   There are
no  men  of  more   importance  to  this
nation than the people who constitute
the source of all wealth and prosperity—the   farmers,   the   local   business
men, the humble citizens in all walks
of the countryside  whose  toil   makes
a   life   of   ease   possible   in   the   big
cities.
And do you recall, Arthur, that the
greatest newspaper men New Y'ork
city (your home town) ever contained
came from small towns? Two of them
John A. Cockrell and Julius Chambers, were products of southern Ohio.
Forget the "Big City" stuff, Arthur!
The brightest minds in finance, journalism, law and commerce in New
York today refer to small towns as
"home."

AN EDITORIAL
PUBLIC speakers over the air and the newspapers have
truly said that the N. K. A. cannot restore prosperity
and give employment to the idle unless eacli citizen
does his part. Tlie nation can nol be pulled out of the
slough of depression by one man alone, or by any small set
of men. Nor can prosperity be restored merely by the enacting' of federal laws.
Wisdom dictates that we reserve enough of our weekly
or monthly incomes to insure the safety of ourselves and
those dependent upon us. But beyond that point humanity
requires that we spend as generously as possible, in order
that business may be revived and the wheels of industry
may again hum as in the days of old.
The overworked man in the White House i.s carrying
heavy burdens today, and so are we all. I'ut these burdens
may be vapidly lessened and eventually removed if we giv
of our earnest efforts as generou:-'ly as he ir. doing'.
Can  we afford  fo do  less?
Do your part.

The Rev. Karl Gooseman, widely
known for his work among the unfortunates of Canton, occupied the pulpit in Zion Reformed cliurcli, North
Canton, on Sunday morning in the
absence of the pastor, the Rev. Melvin E. Beck, who was out of town.
Mr. Gooseman spoke on "Faith and
Action." He said God created the
world and He sent His Son to redeem
it. These two things prove that God
owns the world.
Mr. Gooseman said (hat tlje one solvent of all human antagonisms is
sympathy. It is sympathy that enables men to get together and view
each other with clear eyes. If we
could only practice this in all the relations of life we should soon have a
sweeter  world.
