END OF THE STARS CONTEST

In nearly every home in Washington
where there is a child the principal topic
of conversation is The Stars pony, which
for two days has been on display In the
menagerie tent Of the Gentry Brothers
shows, at 10th and U streets northwest
The animal has been admired more than
any other little horse that ever lived And
why shouldn't he be? He is one Of the
blooded ponies that have made the Gen.
try Brothers famous. The Star long has
wanted pony for some child. In getting
one from the Gentry farm the paper Sc
cured the best. and Washington children
know that to be fact.
Already essays on the many subjects
given have begun to pour into The Star
Office. Some Of them are legible and OF
a nature that would do credit to grown
persons instead of children under four
teen years of age. Others are noble at
tempts, and yet humorous. One young
ster has written that the things he likes
best about the Gentry Brothers shows is

PRESIDENT TAFT PLANS
SYSTEM OF COORDINATION

Washington, April 1.-THE idea Of
a closer relationship between the var

retary Nagel OF the department Of COM
mercc and labor. Secretary Balilnger
Of the interior department, Chairman

Wickersham indicated TO those who
were present at the conference that he
desired TO consult with them concern.
ing President Tafts plan of bringing
the departments closer together, par
ticularly with respect to cases inyolv-
ing violations of the antitrust law
President Taft thinks 1t may be pos
sible to frame amendments to the ex-
listing law that will bring about the de-
sired coordination.
The discussion was informal. No
reference was made to the letter of
Attorney General Wickersham con-
cerning the Morris Packing company
or Chicago, or 10 any other Speclnc
case now pending before the depart
ment of justice, 1t can be said au-
thoritatively that rumors Of friction
between the department of justice and
the interstate commerce commission
are unfounded.
Chairman Knapp of the commission.
and MI Lane, In charge Of the prosecu-
tlon by the commission, unite in de-
claring that the relations between tho
commission and the department of JUS
tice are friendly and that not the least
DISAPPOINTMENT is felt by the commits
sion at any action taken by the depart
ment of justice.
The administration desires to work
out plan of legislation that Will be
satisfactory to the departments con-
cerned.

THE VALUE OF A BIG FAIR.

That state and country fairs are
worthy the support Of wldeawake peo-
pie and that they should receive liberal
encouragement is clearly made evil
dent by the following statements made
by three governors in response TO the
question. Are fairs Of profit and edu-
cational value.
Governor E. F. Noel, of Mississippi.
has this to say:
For some years annual state fairs
have been held at this place. Some OF
the counties, not very many. hold an
nual fairs. These fairs have greatly
benefited the state. Products OF the
state and of the counties, especially
agricultural. were a great surprise to
many visitors, both as TO variety, num-
Der and quality. 1t brought our citi-
zenship into closer acquaintance with
each other and engendered spirit Of
what their labor, their land, their fac
tories and their educational institutions
were doing, adding largely to their
store OF information. Object lessons
Of this kind are more impressive and
beneficial than written or verbal dis
courses. The contest for prizes and eX-
hibition of firSt-clasS animals, fowls,
fruit, vegetables and grain, does much
to raise the standard. and to thus in
crease the value Of animal, agricultural
and horticultural produces. In a state
as largely agricultural as Mississippi,
all that tends to enhance the quality
and value of what IS grown In the
fields. gardens or orchard, is Of great
Importance"
Governor Henry B. Quinby, Of New
Hampshire, says
For more than half century agrl-
CULTURAL fairs and exhibitions have
been held in New Hampshire under
state, county. grange and other aus
pices, and there Is no doubt In my

bakers several years ago when flour
was selling at 1926 a barrel There
was a good profit in 1t then. and tho
standard weight of a loaf of bread was
fixed In this city at one pound by
ordinance. About one-half the cost
of bread comes In the wages and the
cost Of delivery, and the other half Is
material, Later. there was a move
ment TO take of the legal restrictions
as TO the size of loaf, and the mat
ter Is still pending in the state courts.
Wages have increased during the
past five years, and have gone to
point where they cut a deep hole In
the profit on bread, and now flour Is
up to from $500 to 1915 barrel, and
the profit Is all gone, unless the bak-
ers turn out loaf weighing not moro
than ten OF eleven ounces. Above
