Dear Friend: l am going to make
suggestion to you in a friendly way,
hoping you will give my thought in
your own way. My boy is now at the
Preside. 1 can look after him, per-
sonally but there are many others
who have really been cold since COM
ing here. was out on Friday, and
the boys were blue with cold. One
asked me if 1 could get him a COM
forter, and l said 1 would send home
for one.
Sacramento will never let their own
suffer. They may not need blankets
so much now, as / read they are send
ing some out daily, but they do need
some comforts which it is our duty,
While we have that privilege, to get
for them. The boys say that most
any old thing would taste good They
are not complaining. but they say they
would like canned meats. corn, toma-
toes, condensed milk and butter. Oh,
for butterl
l know you are a good worker. and
our boys are all the world to us. I
gave my consent for my 1S-year-
boy to go, because he would not remain
and be a coward, he said. | am not
one of those brave mothers who can
part with them all for glory without
feeling sad. But 1 could work for
them now, all of them. | cannot do
it alone, and l hope others have thought
Of this before me and are now doing
as l know you will when fully awake
to the situation. l don't want you to
mention my name at all, but do all
you can and I will be grateful.
OF course it would be useless of me
to suggest to you, as you know the
way to go about all this.

THE NEXT STATE FAIR.
1t Will Open on the 5th of Septem-
Der and Run Two Weeks

The State Board of Agriculture met
yesterday for the purpose of consid-
ering reports of the various committees
The report of the Premium List Com
mittee was the most important, mas
much as it contained a revision of the
entire premium list for 1898 making
such changes as were deemed advisable
The principal change was to have ex-
pert single judges in all classes where
practical, and the Secretary was di-
rected to correspond with several ex-
perts of the various classes of live stock
The dates of the State Fair were
fixed from September 9th to 18th in
elusive.
The admission rate to the Pavilion
was reduced to % cents. This change
was made at the earnest solicitation of
many exhibitors, and considering the
condition of the times, the board
deemed it prudent to make the change.
The admission to the Park will be 30
cents, as heretofore
After considering other matters of
minor Importance. the board adjourned
