$3.50 win be required to perpare the
exhibit. ship it to Albuquerque and re-
turn it and pay the expenses of ma 4
in charge This is really a very small
amount when the amount of good it
is sure to do the valley is taken into
consideration. Mr.. Coach being on this
committee wishes to prepare the pee
pie for what they may expect when it
comes to raising the necessary fund.
The Phoenix board of trade has offer
ed to stand for 60 per cent of the re
quired amount, leaving to be collected
by Tempe and Mesa a small matter of
| 30 per cent each, little over a hun
dred dollars from each town. If every
farmer under the Tempe canal would
come through with a dollar, it would
be mighty easy matter to collect this
amount and more and it is REASONED
that most of them win be perfectly
willing to do so when they under
stand the purpose of the exhibit
At the irrigation congress there will
be representatives from every state in
the union. Aside from these there will
be thousands of people who are in
terested in agriculture who will be
visitors at the event. Cheap rates are
being made from all points The
beauty of placing an exhibit before
this class of people is that they will
appreciate what it means, being far
mers themselves. Many Of them will
be there for no other purpose than to
look over the various exhibits from
different sections with n view to look
ing up new location. What a section
sends as an exhibit may be regarded
as good indication of what that sec
ton can produce and il is here that
Tempe should come to the front and
shine. Dropping the matter of the
money raising, which will no doubt be
easily taken care of in due time, Mr.
Coach wishes the farmers of the Tenn
pc district to get busy and do all they
can to help prepare an exhibit that
will do justice to this section and Will
fairly show what can be raised here
If farmer has been successful in
raising an extra tall field of grain. a
sample Of it is wanted II his alfalfa
has grown six feet high, a bunch of
ii VIII be more than acceptable or even
If it is not that high. it can be used
just the same. If his fruit crop has
been good. a sample is wanted. In
fact, a good sample of everything that
can be grown here is desired. as it will
all go to make up Tempe's end of the
exhibit There is no reason why Tempe
should not make a display in every
way equal to that of any other town
in the valley All that is required is
ths cooperation OF the farmers and a
little care on their rsrt in helping to
collect the material. If n farmer has
something that he thinks can be used
and Is too pressed for time to bring
it to town. a card to any director Of
the board of trade will do the work.
The board will see that the article in
question is brought to town. Just n
final word now regarding the necessity
of quick work. The exhibit must be
ready for shipment before the first of
September and as that is less than six
I weeks off, it is up to the good people
to get busy and hunt up material that
VIII be wanted. The Republican will
make it point 10 keep the public
posted as to what the farmers are
bringing in. Who will be the first TO
start The bah rolling and get his name
in print. OF course if he does not
care for the notoriety, that can be
| easily avoided
This exhibit will answer a double
purpose and that is one reason why
Tempe should do its best. Upon com
pletins its work at the Albuqueroue
congress. it will be shipped back to
