In the year 1912, Paul L. Vogt, Ph.D., Professor of Sociol- ogy of Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, made a rural survey of Darke, Montgomery, Preble and Butler counties, which brought out much interesting information. In commenting upon the conditions prevailing at the county fairs he made these thought stirring remarks: "At the last county fair in Butler county there were excellent exhibits from the experi- ment station, and from the farms in the different parts of the county ; but in addition to these were to be found the side shows and amusements whose presence at a county fair may be seriously questioned. Farmers and their wives see- ing the preliminary exhibits of these shows turned aside in disgust and did not patronize them. They were an insult to their dignity and to their ideals of morality. These relics of a ruder age should be omitted from the schedule of a mod- ern gathering, and the farmers, for whom the fair is pri- marily intended, should see to it that their desires in matters of this kind be respected. The cheap, questionable show is a side issue and detracts from true progress in fair exhibits."
"The same thing may be said of racing, as it is conducted at the fairs at the present time. Racing is on a professional basis and is carried on among horsemen who transport their horses from county to county to take part in the races for the sake of winning the large prize offered. The races have little direct relation to stock improvement, and in too many cases must be classed with the saloon, the gambling den and the dive in their moral influence." These are strong words but seem to be justified as the State Agricultural Commission
423
DARKE COUNTY
has recently sent out a sweeping order to the effect that any county fair in the state which hereafter tolerates gambling or the sale of liquor will forfeit the per capita award of $800.00 granted by the state and the right to receive a maxi- mum of $1,500.00 from the county. In an announcement the commission says: "This order applies to intoxicating liquor of any kind and to pooling or individual gambling on horse racing, to cane ring, throwing contests and all other games into which the gambling element enters.
"The principal object of county fairs-to encourage agri- culture pursuit and to dissiminate knowledge along that line is almost forgotten today, and cheap amusements of a de- moralizing character seem to predominate. We propose to restore county fairs to their original sphere as educational institutions."
To what extent the conditions above set forth prevail at the Darke county fair the writer does not state. The con- clusions reached are certainly correct and the purpose of the commission is worthy of hearty approval and should appeal forcibly to the fair boards throughout Ohio. The fair, like any other public institution, deserves the patronage of the great middle class only so long as it endeavors to carry out the commendable purposes of its organization. It should es- tablish high standards and elevate the moral and intellectual tone of the community. If it does not continue to do these things it will decline rapidly in patronage and influence, and its doom will be sealed. The writer is inclined to think that the moral tone of the Darke county fair is healthier than it was a few years since and looks for a re-adjustment to meet the demands of the more thoughtful class of patrons who de- sire to see it conducted along progressive moral lines.
On account of the intense and sustained interest manifested by the general populace of the county as well as by former residents, it is impossible to estimate the influence of the an- nual county fair. By studying and judiciously meeting the wants of the rural population the boards have thus far been able to keep up the interest of the people. Whether the an- nual fair has passed its meridian and is now on the wane or is really a permanent institution, remains to be seen. There is probably not another county fair in Ohio equal to ours in legitimate attractions and proportionate attendance. In or- der to increase the usefulness of the grounds some satisfac- tory arrangement might be made with the citizens of Green-
424
DARKE COUNTY
ville whereby the grounds would be kept open during the entire summer season as a park, thereby multiplying the value of the grounds as a place of legitimate recreation many fold. The fair ground would also make almost an ideal Chautauqua site for the use of the people of the entire county.
The substantial character of the present membership of the board lends encouragement to the hope that they will respond to the quickened and enlightened public sentiment in these matters, and thus insure a still greater financial suc- cess and truer social service than ever attained heretofore.
The present membership of the board is as follows: M. L. Weisenberger, president; L. M. Reed, vice-president ; Frank Plessinger, secretary ; Ed Ammon, treasurer; Norman Tea- ford, George Worch, J. E. Folkerth, Albert Harter, J. H. Dunham. T. C. Maher.
CHAPTER XXI.
PATRIOTIC TEMPERANCE AND OTHER SOCIETIES.
Jobes Post No. 157 Grand Army of the Republic.
Jobes Post G. A. R. was formally organized November 7, 1881, to succeed the Greenville Memorial Association, which, it seems, had previously looked after the marking of de- ceased soldiers' graves and transacted business pertaining to the welfare of the veterans of the Civil War. On the even- ing above mentioned twenty-two soldiers who had served in the late conflict, assembled in the city hall, Greenville, O., and were mustered in by Col. Brown, of Toledo. O., as char- ter members: Frank Devor, S. C. Wolf, John Goloener, A. C. Harter, Jeremiah Jamison, Harvey House, J. H. Ries, J. L. Bascom, John O'Conner, D. D. Hunter, J. Tip King, George Gent, L. G. Dills, J. C. Craig, Daniel Murphy, W. C. Weaver, A. J. Arnold, H. N. Arnold, Jas. Gerard, Wm. Dean, I. G. Hiller and Martin Rentzler. At this meeting John O'Conner was elected post commander and J. T. King, adjutant.
This post was named for Allen T. Jobes, a color-bearer of the 69th Regiment, who was shot while bearing the stars and stripes at the battle of Jonesboro, Ga., September 1, 1864.
The first post room was fitted up in Arnold's hall on Broadway, near Third street, and meetings were held here until 1895 when Frank McWhinney, a comrade and well known citizen. tendered the use of the second floor of his brick business room on West Fifth street for the use of the post without charge as long as enough members are left to form a quorum. This new room was appropriately fur- nished and decorated and was formally dedicated on Monday, April 14, 1894, the twenty-ninth anniversary of the surrender of Lee at Appomattox. The dedicatory services were held in the Christian Tabernacle just across the street, at which appropriate addresses were made by Hon. C. M. Anderson, T. C. Miller and Rev. J. P. McLean, of the Universalist church in behalf of the G. A. R .; by W. Y. Stubbs and F. H.

Jobes on behalf of Brandon Camp, Sons of Veterans, and by Mollie V. Foster on behalf of the Womans' Relief Corps. For nearly twenty years weekly camp-fires have been kindled in this commodious and convenient hall. Numerous recruits have been mustered in from time to time, but the ranks of the veterans have been greatly decimated by the Grim Reap- er during this period. Notwithstanding these losses the Post has continued active and still has about one hundred members enrolled.
Other Posts were organized in the county, at Versailles, Arcanum, Ansonia, Palestine, but most of these have been practically discontinued for some time.
The following members have served as commander of Jobes Post since its organization : John O'Conner, John Ries, A. C. Harter, Thomas Lines. A. H. Brandon, S. M. Guy, Isaac G. Hiller. S. W. Bishop, John Barnell. WVm. Dean, W. J. Martin, W. L. Reece, I. N. Smith. Henry Livingston, J. S. Walker. C. W. Rarrick, F. R. Gaskill, Adam Horine, Jason Penny, B. F. Wenger, J. C. Elliott, W. A. Hopkins, J. W. Larimer and Peter Dickey.
The officers elected for 1914 are: Commander. Peter Dickey ; senior vice, Joseph Walker ; junior vice. B. F. Wen- ger : Sargeant. Dr. Rarick: chaplain. I. N. Smith : officer of the day, Mr. Bidwell; guard, J. W. Larimer ; janitor, G. WV. Halley ; trustee, Samuel Harnish.
