STRAIGHT LINE TO
GREATER PROSPERITY

Tennessee State Fair L. Regular
Short Course in Manipulating.
When the farmers are prosperous, the
country as a whole cannot long remain
otherwise. Agriculture is recognized as
the bulwark of our national safety and
the more the man who tills the soil
knows about his business, the better will
be the financial condition of the country.
No element has had . more decided ef-
feet in the development of the country's
farming interests, and the allied interests
of stock and poultry raising and fruit
culture, than have the hundreds of coun-
ty fairs and the twenty-odd State fairs.
The most representative exhibition
held in the South il the Tennessee State
Fair, which is held each year at Nash
vile, and which comes during the week
of September 90 TO September rs this
year.
The 1909 fair will be . regular revela-
ton in resources, but it will be much
more than . mere exposition. In each
department there will be free demonstra.
tions and lectures, stereopticon talks,
public judging, etc, etc, which will give
to week spent at the fair the practical
value of short course at an agricultural
college
Most of the professors at the Agri.
cultural College of the State University
are connected with the fair in some way
and provide for instruction along the
same lines as are employed at the Uni
versity, with the notifications neces-
sary in handling large crowds.
Already the lessons of this fair have
been worth hundreds of thousands of
dollars to the South, and under the con
troll of the State government, as it will
be after January /, 1910, its influence
for good should continue to increase rap
idly year after year.
But it is not only as a place to learn
how to make more money that the State
Fair benefits the people who come under
ATS lHuueuCo. luc lull SLUG Vi IL hlOTuS
an opportunity for wholesome amuse-
ment such as could not possibly be found
elsewhere without the spending of a
whole lot of money.
The Fair Association will spend over
$40, 900 this year in free amusement fea-
lures alone The country's leading con-
cert band-Weber's Band of Cincinnati
will play twice daily out in front of the
big grand stand, where the seats are all
free At the same place six of the very
best open-air acts that money can pro-
cure will do their turns for the amuse-
ment of the tens of thousands who
throng the grounds each day.
On the track blooded horses will con-
test In trials Of speed each afternoon,
and at night that part of the track in
front of the grand stand will be con-
verted into brilliant show ring, lit by
hundreds of big arc lights Then after
the horse show each evening the Amuse
ment Committee has provided for mag
nificent displays of fireworks.
The policy of the fair is to keep the
idea of instruction uppermost, but to SC
mix in the element of fun as to make
the week a pleasure as well as profit

On and after this date the subscrip-
ton price of the News will be $l.00
per year. For the past two years
the paper has been barely able to
make expenses at the low rate of
2526th of accent per copy, which is
what we get at SOC per year, owing
to the high price of everything used
in its production and wear and tear
of machinery. Paper continues high
and will go higher, ink costs some
thing, frelghts are high, the neces-
sites of life are higher and every
thing else, and hence it has been
difficult matter to keep the paper 60
ing at the SOC year subscription
price. Looking over our exchanges
we fail to find single paper pub
lished for SOC year; all with one
exception, are $l.OO per year, which
is little enough. A comparison of
matter with these exchanges shows
that there is more original matter
published in the News each week
than in any of them, Others may
print larger sheets but not original
matter which it costs money to put
in type and print. Hence the pub
fishers of the News feel that their
paper is as good as any of the 9TH
and worththe same price. Of course
agreat many will growl at this de-
cision on our part to raise the price
to uniformity with the other papers
but 1t is unavoidable. If the people
do not care to support the News at
the increased price by taking it, we
shall simply discontinue it and main
tain a job office only, for we are not
millionaires and can't live on oxygen
alone.
We hope our readers will see the
facts of the matter and stand by us
in the future as they have in the
past. We are under increased ex.
pense in publishing the News and
must raise the price to meet these
expenses.

Gross inlm0ralities Practiced in
Transatlantic Ships, Ac=
cording to Report

WASHINGTON. Dec. IA report on
tion obtained by special agents of the
immigration commission travelling as
steerage passengers on different trans
Atlantic steamers, was made public to-
day through presentation to the senate
with recommendation for legislation
to better conditions.
The general report of the commission
contains the reports of individuals
giving their experiences on board
steamships where they posed as steer
age passengers. A woman agent who
was insulted and compelled to with
stand repulsive privations said:
I'm those II days in the steerage l
lived in disorder and in surroundings
that offended every sense. The vile
the women defending themselves, the
crying of children, wretched because of
their surroundings especially. every
sound that reached the ears, irritdted
beyond endurance.
Everything was dirty, sticky and
disagreeable to the touch. Every i'm
preston was offensive. Worse than
this was the general aid to immortality.
For Is hours each day 1 witnessed all
around me TINS improper, indecent anu
forced mingling of men and woman.
who were total strangers and often did
not understand one word of the same
language"
The woman agent had told of the
mingling of the crew with women of
the steerage and said the same was
true of the men steerage passengers
with the women.
Senator Dillingham;. chairman of the
immigration commission, introduced in
the senate today two bills intended to
correct much OF the evil because of
which the complaint is made.

PRIzlS OFFERED FOR
BABES OF MISSION
Proud Mothers Hasten to Enter
Precious Humanity in New
Years Baby Show

Supervisor Oscar Hooks has been
prizes and awards for the baby show
to be held in the rooms of the Mis-
sion promotion association next Friday
evening. The baby show, which is to
be one of the features of the Mission
districts New Year holiday festival, is
causing considerable comment, and
already many mothers of the district
have entered their babies. Judging
from the number already entered. the
section east of Folsom street seems to
possess the greatest number of eligible
infants.
Three prizes will be awarded to the
three prettiest girl babies, three to the
three prettiest boy babies, three to the
three fattest girl babies and three TO
the three fattest boy babies. There
will also be prize for the biggest
baby in the Mission, one for the most
popular mother and one for the most
popular father.
A reprimand from Supervisor Hooks
is awaiting the unknown parties who
have submitted the names of con-
firmed bachelors for entry in the most
popular father class. Mothers have
been requested Ito register their pre-
cious ones as early as possible at
the office of the association, Valencia
and Sixteenth streets. The entries
close Friday afternoon, and pictures of
all babies must accompany the entry.
The theatrical benefit to be given
Wednesday evening, the opening night
of the festival, In the Wigwam the
ater, promises to be huge success.
Already the demand for seats exceeds
the capacity of the playhouse and suf-
ficient funds for the support of the
festival are assured. All Improvement
clubs affiliated with the Mission pro-
motion association will participate in
the opening of the celebration on
Wednesday evening. Free confetti will
be distributed to. the crowds by the
merchants of the business section.
The throng viii be entertained with
the band concerts until the time for
the theatrical benefit, which will begin
at $50 o'clock. Father d. o. Crowley
will open the performance by a few
appropriate remarks on the pull to-
gether spirit, which is so evident in
this years Mission celebration. At the
conclusion of last nights meeting of
the association the boxes for the benefit
performance were auctioned. Michael

we Junior leaguers are attempting to

conditions of the past. We have not

HAS PROOF OF BRIBERY
Concerning the case of the attempt ed
bribery of the umpires in the playof
game between the Chica go and New
York Nationals on October 8, 1905,
Johnson said tonight that new evidence
was sent to him last summer He will
present this to his colleagues on the
national commission for review.
Johnson is not altogether satisfied
that when the National league turned
over affidavits in the bribery case to
the national commission all papers in
the case were sent along. At that time
New York physician was accused and
thinks that the physician was merely
the representative of the man higher
up and he believes he has evidence
that will enable the national commits
sion to go after this individual.
The national commission had two
short informal sessions today. Meetings
viii be held tomorrow and Thursday, at
which the new testimony concerning
the umpire bribery is to be gone over.
PLAYER TRADING ECLIPsED
The political end of the National
league meeting has absolutely over
whelmed the trading side Managers
of the American. National, Eastern and
Tristate leagues are here ready to
make deals. but on account of the pos
sible rupture of friendly relations be-
tween the two big organizations swap
ping players is a secondary considera-
ton
The National league meeting is slated
to start at o'clock tomorrow after
noon, but the general Impression is
that the gathering will be late in get
ting under way, as the board of direc-
tors must meet first. All National and
American league club owners are here
except Thomas J. Noyes of Washing
ton. He is expected in the morning.
John T. Brush of New York, on ac-
count Of i'll health, will not be able to
attend the National league meeting
