AN ANNUAL COUNTY FAIR.

A citizen of Paradise is a recent
communication to the World advo-
Gates establishing an annual county
fair in Chelan county. stating that
an exhibit each year of the best pro-
ducts of the fiarden, field and farm,
the products of the kitchen and the
handiwork of the sewing room
would stimulate a pardOnable pride
in progress and excite honest COM
petition. His idea of operating the
fair is to permit every season ticket
holder to become a stock holder.
This makes the enterprise one of
universal interest, with no scheming
for the pecuniary advancement of
the management, and interests the
whole community in its success. In
addition TO the season tickets single
admission tickets and team tickets
would be sold Rentals for stalls for
various huxters would be charged
also for track entries. The Office
of president of the association would
be merely an honorary one and
would be conferred on different ones
each year. An executive committee
of well known individuals would
also be chosen
Mr.. Burbank, who advocates the
idea of a fair and it's management,
seems to have hit upon happy
thought and his ideas should meet
with support from others who would
be helped by the annual fair. Annual
fairs are good things. Not only do
they educate in diversified lines and
illustrate the progress being made in
a section but they furnish social in
tercOurse for people who ordinarily
do not travel around very much. We
have all been to fairs, haven't we?
We have watched the animals, view
ed the exhibits. eaten pop corn,

MONARCH OF KEROSENE

STANDARD HUNIOR.

The attitude of the Standard Oil
Co. may come in time to be regard
ed as stan lard humOr. Blessed be
humor in all its branches, and in
this form of latent mirth shown by
the monarch of kerosene there Is
much that is different from the
humor shown by the ordinary cit
izen. For instance, would the ordi-
nary man exert himself for weeks
for the sake of gaining penny?
Yet John D. Rockefeller has been
endeavOring for weeks to get his
witness fees and railroad mileage
from Uncle Sam for testifying what
he did not know about Standard Oil
before Judge Lands in Chicago. The
sum, which amounts to $685.. is
not to t he kerosene king as much
as a penny would be to the ordiary
user of the oil product. There is a
certain grim humor however, in the
present attitude of Rockefeller
which may be likened to the humor
of the old line of kings who would
humorously turn to their attendants
and order man beheaded or plan in
secret for the distinctions of their
enemies. In pamphlet recently
sent out he declares, under the guise
of the stockholders of Standard Oil,
his utter innocence of any wrong DO
ing in the cases instituted against
him in the Chicago and Alton case.
ITO higher courts, says the pamph-
let, I'VE must look for that calm
Judgment which will rescue the
rights of citizens from the field OF
clamOr and from the domain of vim
dictive politics. Isn't this funny?
so persistent and adroit has the
warfare been waged with the over
towering authority of the federal ad-
ministration against the Standard
|Oil company that it has been difficult
to get fair hearing before the pub
lie or in a large part of the press,
the pamphlet goes on to say, 1.-The
latter being swayed by the socialis-
tic cutlery from below and the polit>
ical pressure from above" The fact
that this condition is true is what
makes it SO humorous to the average
man. To the Standard Oil concern
this condition seems like tragedy.
but to the user of the product and
the man who desires to see justice
in all things the statement borders

Set pansies nine inches apart each way
in the bed Where several strains Of
pansies are grown it is an advantage to
plant each variety by itself, marking the
line Of separation by two or more rows
of some distinct color; such as pure
white, clear yellow, or black. This en-
ables one to compare the varieties at a
glance and form a better estimate OF
their qualities than would be possible
in mixed bed.
During hot, dry weather the pansy
bed should be watered twice day-at
night and at noon. Watering the gar
den in the middle of the day may seem
a reckless innovation to many, espe-
cially to the professional gardener, but
years of experience have taught me the
value Of giving plant water when 1t
most needs it-and that is when it is
parclled with heat. Of course all plants
will not stand water under a hot sun,
but pafisies are not injured by it in any
way. Pansies do not send their roots
as deeply into the ground as most plants,
but make many surface roots (hence
we place the fertilizers well below the
surface to induce a deeper growth,
which even temporary drying out Of
the top-soil will injure. A good soak
ing of the soil at night will last until
ten or eleven o'clock the next day, ac-
cording to exposure, and if another
good wetting is then given with water
fresh from the hydrant or well it will
remain cool and moist throughout the
twenty-four hours. The rapid evapora-
ton caused BY the hot sun will create
moist atmosphere around the plants,
producing much finer flowers than
would be possible in the dry air result
ing from Withholding water until night.
Always plant pansies in an open, airy
situation, where the wind can have full
sweep over them. There is no more
idea than that pansies should
be grown in the shade The aim should
be to get stpcky, upright plants with the
Fiowers borne well above the foliage on
stiff stems. This is impossible when
plants are grown in the shade, where
long, straggly branches will invariably /
BE- produced, with flowers at the ex-
RENE end. Then. too, plants grown BY 4
he side Of the house, or in protected
positions, where the wind cannot sweep /
,yer them, are much more liable to dis
:ase than plants grown in the open. i
