Whv lTwill be Better.

Below are some OF the reasons Why
the vinita Fair will be better this year
than ever before;
lst. The Association is better able
than ever before to meet the demands
and expenses OF fair,
2nd. The officers and members OF
the association are taking greater in
terest in the matter than ever before.
Sd. This is an uncommonly prosper
Gus year for the farmer and the success
or failure of fairs always depends
largely upon that class of citizens.
4th. The Association has exercised
its good judgment in Offering larger
premiums than ever before, especially
on farm products.
9Th. There is plenty OF good blooded
stock in the country and its owners
are not afraid to show it.
9th. The town and association are
both Sin it'' and determined to have
the best fair the territory ever saw.
So rub up your race stock, and feed
up your show stock Of all kinds bring
in your grain and fruit and thus con-
tribute your share towards making
the best exhibit we have ever had.

Dlesatis6Action With Past E6brts LeaA0 q
Higher Attainments.
There is definite satisfaction in well.
done work. And throughout the whole
process there is not . moment which
equals the first thrill of the knowledge
that the labor finished scas well done.
The faithful workman, after concen-
trating all his abilities, and striving
with unwearied pains to leave no part
incomplete, experiences . glow Of de-
light in perceiving that the result is
good. He knows that others will con.
cede its merit and that praise and rec
ognition for talent and skill await him.
He regards his work proudly. He feels
. profound contempt for whatever he
did before. 1t was rs barren rs the
dry branches, but this-this is the
flower Of perfection. the blossoming of
all his hopes
Well it Is for the workman, and for
the value Of his future productions,
that these moments of vanity are brief.
And in minds the most earnest, whose
ideals are highest the spasms Of self
contempt which follow are rs great as
was the self-confidencc.
How small and weak now looks the
performance! How vast the presump-
tiOn which thought it on level with
the work Of this master-hand or that
cunning craftsman! How far it falls
beneath the thought he first conceived!
How far below the beauty he planned
to create! Worst of all, how miserably
unlike the ideal he is aiming to reach!
Well, the work Of to-day is finished.
1t has been worth to him the lessons II
has taught He looks not behind. but
forward. II is by to-mOrrow's efforts
that he will at last accomplish some
thing Of worth. And after he has thus
judged himself, the approval or con-
demnation of others affects him rs lit
tie as the wind which blows by. He
surely knows how much he has done.
and how much more he has failed to do.
It is good for the workman and his
work that he should be thus forever
A thousand times-yes.
For the soul that can rest satisfied with
past attainments, no tue progress is
possible. 1t lies buried in his own con-
Bazaar.

from six to eight qualities of sorts.
which the careful manufacturer sepa-
rates, devoting each quality to the pur-
pose for which Il is best suited. No
skill in caraing. spinning, weaving or
finishing can possibly produce q soft or
fine piece of goods from a coarse, hard
fiber. When . woOlen thread Is to be spun
to the length Of fifteen thousand three
hundred and sixty yards to q pound, or
in a case of worsted thread to twice
that number of yards to pound, every

the suds, In which one or two
men with long poles stirred
the wool until clean, when they

forks or rakes seize the wool as it is
carried by rollers from . feeding apron

motions Of their teeth give it thor

wool is delivered by rollers to the dry
ing machines, where hot air and great
fans are now utilized to extract all the
