| The State Fair this year will hold
| full week-from Monday morning until
| Saturday night. Every exhibit must be
| in place and ready for inspection when
! the gates open Monday morning, and the
| Saturday evening programme will be the
most brilliant of the entire week. AS the
cities present no special attractions, the
| fair will be the whole thing, and every
thing will move with a vim that will not
keep people waiting and wondering i'm
patiently what will come next. The man
ayers have spent several thousand dollars
to make great all-round fair, with some
[ thing good in it for everybody, and they
| propose to keep things humming from
Monday morning until Saturday night,
in order to get in all the good things the
programme promises.

A COOPERATIVE TOWN.
Modelled on the Dcllnmy Plnn. IL Has
Proved sGCcCss.

The little town Of Nurrhcad. in the
very northwest ro78rr Il l.Hhcttc Coun-
~ Kan, is probably the only town in
the United States that Is run Oh 60.
or rativc plan u Any extent This 1t
t.C town has 4 population Of about 5H
or 90 people AID has adopted cooper
Gtiye methods almost exclusively. 1t i

= about 80 miles north Of lndcppud-
tasr. 1t is III the NCIlt Of q great ag
.iCultural section, md the cooperative
hl.a has been CNtrudcd into the couu-
Try. where several tHrtns are run on
TIE cooperative basis. The farmers
raise their crops aud divide UP, so that
u one farmer has poor crops he need
uot suffer total loss. rs he would do
otherwise.
The cooperative methods that have
teen adopted 50 far have proved
success. and more enterprises are con
stantlv being put under this method OF
doing business At present the town
has cooperative hotel, a 60 operative
laundry, cooperative hail, co-opcra
tive creamery and a cooperative can.
ming factory. and Il cooperative dining
bail has Just been put in operation,
where several families. perhaps two
dozen, take their meals. Anybody who
Is member Of the company Cnn get
his meals at a reduced rate there, aud
many farmers have become members
SO that they can get q good square
meal at very low price when they
come to town on Saturday.
A cooperative housekeeping move
mcnt is to be started soon. which. to-
gcther with the dining hall already in
operation. will do away with the hired

oversees each common enterprise and
