e''' oo'o e'tJt)l6S DSlHS QlS- trlbuted. The scramble for these apples created big rush and several guards found themselves unable to protect the boxes as they were carried through the crowd. It was stated next day that several arrests were made of parties who employed extreme measures to get hold of 8 sample of Arkansas apples, but all were promptly acquitted by the court when he saw a few of the apples introduced in court, the judge saying that the temptation to get hold such fruit fully justified the means and that if he had been there he would have made the run for one himself.
 In this connection 1t might be stated that the exercises at the Arkansas building on Arkansas day were all that could have reasonably been expected. It is only 8 few people who can be at 5racted together for anything that does not carry with 1t some of the great sights of the ex- position. President Francis of the exposition spoke enthusi- astically of the work done by the Arkansas exposition commission and predicted great things for the future growth and advancement of our state, suggesting that 1t will soon take front rank with the leading states of the Union. Gov. Francis was followed by Gov. Jeff Davis, who was in- troduced by Geo. R. BeIding, president of the Arkansas World 5 Fair commission, as "Arkan8a8 favorite son. '' Mr. Bedding said that he had whispered to Gov. Davis during Gov. Francis speech that Gov. Francis was not running against him for any of flee and he was not expected t5 reply. The remark created con- siderable laughter.
 Gov. Davis said among other things that Arkansas is the greatest state in the Union; that the Louisiana Purchase IlX-
 position was carved out of Ark
 ansas; that the state has pro-
 dueed more world 5 wonders than
 any other. Begin with ne, ;"
 said he, ''and 1 will enumerate them. ' Again the crowd en- gagged in hearty laughter. He said Arkansas was out of debt; that the state has the best laws
 and the most rigidly enforced of any state; that you could not get
 8 drink of whi8key in Little Rock on Sunday and last but not least we have q governor that IS the
 real governor of the state.
 Back to the subject of the
 exposition again, we would say d trip to the fair is not necessarily expensive. It is possible for one to spend a week there on SIP to
 S15 outside of the railroad fare, which is nominal. 1t may be re-
 marked, however, that no one IS
 likely to confine himself to so } small an amount. ltis really not economy to do it. The faster you l can see the fair to get an ] appreciation of it the better, and
 money spent for transportation and other short cuts is we'll in ! vested. The matter of expense is largely a matter of one's tastes and inclinations for association with the dollar. The maXamln , figures may be made as high as t your willingness to invest money
 may go. The souvenir vendors, } refreshment and lunch stands, and other things to take your ) money, are innumerable, while ) the side shows can occupy ) much of your time if you are ln-
 cIined in that direc tion. Some
 are worth the money, some afe l not. It has been estimated that It ) will cost S53.00 to, see everything on the Pike. u If you contemplate going to the fair, you could not do better than to % at the earliest possible time. The weather is at it's best, the lalr ) is complete; the crowds will be De growing larger until the close snd last but not least the flower
