requisite amount needed has not been reached, a popular 'sub
scripton' will be asked from everybody-from the head of the
household down to the tinniest member OF the home-so that all
connected with the welfare and future of Albuquerque can have the
opportunity to subscribe-to give their mite toward assisting the
Fair association in dcfrayHng.thc expenses of the great show which
will be seen in thi, city beginning on September 70 and eontinu-
