way to get il thoroughly before the
people Is to start the subscription
list right here. We've talked all
about it as much as we could and
the Daily Panhandle has printed
about every thing It could to get the
fair proposition before the people
and it's time now to get the sub
lscription started

thing to do is to get our temporary
organization perfected, said II. b..

ad solicit the subscriptions in
ppper form. | don't suppose there's
an use to talk TO you here tonight
the advantages of the fair. Every
boy realizes the great advantages
bot direct and indirect OF such an
entEprise. Perhaps all we can do
now is to appoint a committee to-

first thing OF course. We should
get, say $4,000 for the fair and
this amount, judiciously expended. |
thins would result in more good to
the Panhandle than any other one
thing TINT We could develop.
