CHAMBERS EXHIBIT AT FAIR
TO BE CLOSED SOON

C. L. Wilson, in charge of the Los An
geles county exhibit of the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce at the exposition at
Jamestown, Va, will abandon the dis
play before the fair closes. This move
will be made on account of the weather,
which has greatly reduced the attendance
at the exposition.
Frank Virgins, secretary of the cham
Der of commerce, has received a letter
from Mr.. Wilson stating that a large
portion of the exhibit will be shipped
to Los Angeles. The remainder will be
sent to Atlantic City to renew the ex-
hibit there.

SECOND STREET WIDENING
PROCEEDINGS Go FORWARD
City Will Share Cost of Some of the
Condemnation Proceedings, and
Improvement Will Be
Pushed

Widening of second street from Figue-
roa to Boylston is now well advanced in
it's preliminary stages.
The city fathers have decided to share
part of the early cost in connection with
condemnation proceedings and Council
man Wren's constituents will soon enjoy
seeing another fine thoroughfase opened
to the boulevard width.
The delays have resulted through an
accident to the notary public who as
sisted with the original deeds, 1t was
necessary to find about twenty property
owners scattered far and wide and this
notary held the key. The citys legal de-
partment finally secured the necessary
information.
The next step will be to initiate grading
and paving ordinances and this will be
done in regular course.

About the Farmers Union,
Olmitz. June %. 1907

Mr.. Editor.
Dear SIR
If you will allow me a small
space in your paper | would like
to explain to the merchants in the
different towns in Barton County
that the Farmers Educational &
Cooperative Union of America,
are not trying to dowu them, but
rather to make conditions so that
it will be possible for them to
deal direct with the manufactur-
ers. and thereby cut out the mid
Ole man and divide his profits,
salary and expenses between mer-
chant and consumer, which will
rednce the cost to the consumer
and give a larger profit to the
merchant. We do not blame the
merchant for the high prices of
goods. because they are high be.
fore they get them. The mer-
chants of the towns should c.
operate with the Farmers and help
them to bring about these condi-
tlons. The regular meeting of
the Barton County Union will be
held in Hoi,ington Saturday.
July 90. 1907. There will be any
where from 100 to $50 Union
people present..an we feel that
the business men of Hoisington,
especially the hotel and restaurant
men should secure a hall for us
free of charge, not only to show
their good will towards us, but
because it will Bring quite a lot of
trade to them. | want every
delegate who will attend the meet
ing the Goth of July to confer
with the business men of their
home towns and see what they
q will do for US at the next regular
meetinq after the Goth of july.
and be prepared to Submit the
same and fhe town that will offer
the most inducements or the best
accommodations will get the next
regular meeting.
