ever hear of the farmer up in the Mo
hawk valley whose barn burned down
and who could not collect from the in

Il come from the Genesce Valley,
where such things do not happen said
Wadsworth, gravely.
"Huh y retorted Sherman. "Ill tell it,
anyway. The farmer went to the Office
of the insurance company and demanded
his money.
Nothing doing said the manager.
The fire was caused by friction, and fric-
ton doesn't 60
'FrictionF expostulated the farmer,

"'Oh, yes, and the manager smiled

this story Of personal experience while
trying case in an Iowa court. A boy

"He does odd jobs once in a while

Arbitration.

She had read good deal, and prided
herself on being pretty well up on the af
fairs of the day.
"All disputes" she said, should be
settled by arbitration"
Quite right" he replied. Now, we
had little dispute this morning as to
certain household"
There is nothing to arbitrate in that"
she interposed hastily. 81 am right, of
course" Then after a moment she add
ed: "But it seems so foolish to have war
and strikes when it's so easy to ar

Written Proposition Expected
from Southern Book Concern
WILL Do IMMENSE BUSINESS
Every Book Printed Here viii Have a
Birmingham Label-Over One Mil
lion Books viii Be Pub
llshed First Year.

At the meeting of the board of directors
and vice-presidents of the Commercial
Club yesterday afternoon committee of
six, consisting of B. B. Conner, A D.
Smith, r. N Rhodes w. H. Norris. Rob-
pointed to receive a written proposition
from those interested in the proposed
Southern Book concern. The effort is to
get the plant located in Bi mingham and
the men visiting In the G. ! looking after
1t will submit their proposition today.
The propositions which were made YER
bally were that Birmingham subscribe
guarantee per cent on the entire
amount 1t is the former proposition that
will be accepted If any. It is supposed
this same proposition will be made in
writing today
The meeting yesterday afternoon was
well attended and the prospects look
brighter for bringing the plant here than
they did after the meeting on Monday.
Several of those present yesterday af-
ternoon exhibited much interest in the
matter and 1t is expected they will take
stock in 1t.
No trouble is expected in raising the
required $150,OOO as Birmingham will have
the entire territory west of Georgia, or
at least seven states to draw from.
In speaking of the matter yesterday af-
ternoon one of the visiting men who is
making the offer stated that It would
be great thing for Birmingham, as It
would draw here large number of per-
sons interested in educational matters
This he said, would naturally follow the
establishing Of the plant and the publish
ing of an immense number of school
books. Every book would bear a Biz
mingham liable and this would advertise
the city. as 1t was expected to publish
In the neighborhood of 1.OOO,oo books the
first year.

MANY ATTRACTIONS
PROMISED BY
THE FAIR
MANAGEMENT OF THE STATE
FAIR HAS ENGAGED THE sERV-
ICES OF MRS. JOHN 3. REID FOR
THE WoMAN's DEPARTMENT.

The general offices Of the Alabama Fair
Association. over the Alabama National
Bank. are already the scene of consider
able activity The preparations BY the
state fair which is to open on October
20, are being pushed with vigor and In
telligence, and the offices are besieged by
advertising men, men In quest Of priv
ileges and men with suggestions for the
management.
All are received with courtesy and asked
to make their propositions in writings.
These are placed on file and referred
to the proper committee A series Of
plats of the grounds and buildings are
being made to facilitate the placing of
exhibits. and the selling of spaces to show
men. privilege men and others. The
restaurant privilege has already been dis
posed of at good figure to one of the
best known restaurant men of Birming
ham.
The management has secured the SER
vice of Mrs John B. Reid of this city to
take charge of the Woman's Department.
The public will remember that Mrs. Reid
managed this department during the fair
of 1900, the last one held, and tkat she
made 1t decidedly creditable. Mrs. Reid
will begin her work on August l. and
will enlist the aid and cooperation of all
the ladies' of Birmingham and of the en-
tire State who are willing to assist in
making the fair a success.
1t is the purpose of the management to
have many features that are of especial
interest to the women of Alabama. Per-
haps the greatest of these will be the
Horse Show If arrangements can be made
to secure such one as is now under
consideration.
The marvellous show of the Diving
Horses" is now the most thrilling and
novel spectacle before the people It has
never been seen in the South, and the
Association expects to bring it to Biz
mingham in October. These horses are
trained to dive into pool of water like
a lot of runaway school boys and they
are Justly regarded as one of the wonders
of the age.
Another phase of the fair that will
awaken a lively enthusiasm among the
young musicians of the State is the gift
of a fine piano by an enterprising Bir-
mingham firm to the best pianist under
Is years old to be found In Alabama
Every ambitious girl In the State can
take part in this unique contest, all the
conditions of which will soon be made
known.
The list of attractions for the fair which
is now being worked out embraces every
thing to interest and amuse visitors, but
the management is not ready to talk
about any others at present
The fair of 1902 will draw vast crowds
of people from this and adjoining States.
