WILL MAKE A FUSS
COUNTY EXHIBITORS AT STATE
FAIR UP IN ARMS.
They Do Not Like the Idea Of FARM
Lands in Other Sections Being Adj
vertised in Reading Matter Gotten
Out By the Management of the
Big Show; Association Is Organ
lied to Fight.

st. Paul, Sept. ll.-County exhibitors
at the state fair broke out with an
other indignation meeting, and after
giving vent to their feelings organized
an association for fighting the battles
of the agricultural interests before the
board of managers of the fair, and
later before the society itself.
Exploits Farm Lands in Another State.
The stimulus to the second indigna-
ton meeting this week was given by
the discovery that the official speed
program and scorebook for this week
carries three pages devoted to exploit
| ing homesteads and farm lands in an
other state When this was shown
among the county exhibitors yesterday
the good humor into which they had
been led by the diplomacy of Mama
gers B. F. Nelson, ]. J. Furlong, j. M.
Underwood and c. N. Cosgrove departed
and the promptly resolved to enter an
| other stormy protest.
The meeting was held in the ST.
Louis county building and was attend
ed by about score of county exhibit
promoters.
Management Is Criticized.
Criticism of the action of the man.
ayers for permitting advertisements of
lands in another state was freely ex-
pressed and it was resolved to ask the
managers to refuse place on any of
the cards, programs, and publications
of the Agricultural society for any adj
vertising matter favorable to the up-
building of other states.
Several of the speakers, among them
A. b. Hostetter, of Duluth, Charles N.
Howe, of Aitkin, and T. r. Jollnstone,
of Crookston, expressed the opinion
that the agricultural interests of the
state had not received the recognition
they merited as the greatest industry
in the state.
To Make Suggestion.
| 1t was resolved to impress upon the
board os managers the necessity Of
providing an agricultural building to-
cost at least as much as the grand
stand. 1t was further resolved to urge
upon the board to make allowance Of
at least $3.50 for each county exhibit
complying with the requirements of the
association instead of dividing a fixed
purse equally among the exhibitors.
When there are many county exhibits
as is the case this year, the amount
received by each is small.
c. n. Howe, A. B. Hostetter and
Thomas R. Brown were delegated to
arrange for meeting late today with
j. M. Underwood, superintendent of
agriculture, for the presentation of pe-
titions and protests expressing the po-
sltion of the meeting.
Charles n. Howe, Aitkin. was elected
president, and Thomas r. Brown.
Crookston, secretary, and it was decid.
ed to retain the organization until the
annual meeting of the Agricultural so.
ciety next January, when the claims
of the agricultural interests for greater
recognition by the society viii be
made.

ORvILLE WRIGHT
SAILS FOR EUROPE.
Expects to Make New Records
With His AerOplane.

New York, Aug 11.-Eager for fresh
aeroplane victories in Europe, Orville
Wright sailed for Germany on the
ocean liner Kronprinzessin Cecilie. He
was accompanied by his sister, Miss
Katherine Wright.
1--WE will be In Europe two months =
said Orville. eve stop off in England
for three or four days in connection
with some aeroplane transactions, the
nature of which / am not at liberty to
disclose. Then we go on to Germany.
where / will demonstrate before the
kaiser at Tegelhof, near Berlin, the
aeroplane which is being shipped on
the same boat that we take to Europe.
st do not know whether | will be
able to make any new records while |
am flying in Germany, but hope to be
able to do so. 1t is always unwise to
make promises or predict.
when l get through in Germany we
expect to go back to England and from
there to Spain.
''Wilbur will continue to carry on
lie UQSlICrS at Tic ldiiCl9 III A1Ny tSi's
where we are building number of
machines which have been ordered. l
hope to come back to take part in the
work in the factory in the fall, and it
may be possible that both of us may
do something in the record breaking
line.
among other things we have been
working upon several devices to OBJ
tain automatic stability. We realize
that if we can make the aeroplane bal
ance automatically in the air while in
fight it will be very important step
forward.
"At the present time we can carry
enough fuel to stay in the air for
twenty-five hours. This cannot be
duplicated by any one else, so far as
we know, and is due to the fact that
we have so arranged our surfaces as to
give the highest possible efficiency"
The average rate of speed of a
Wright machine is forty miles an hour,
so for the first time the Wrights' abil-
fly to fly distance of 1000 miles is
authoritatively given.

At Capetown, in South Africa, where
the traveller usually has the first
glimpse of the continent, is Table
mountain. a magnificent natural Curl
osity which rises behind the city to
the height of almost 1000 feet and
has level top about three square

huge table is so marked that the
dense clouds which collect at times
around the summit are referred to as
the tablecIoth. A pretty little flower
which is found nowhere else on earth

That the final and enduring solution OF
the labor question lies in the principle Of
profit sharing is the belief expressed by
Andrew Carnegie in World's Work. From
his own experience he tolls how he took

from the employees Of the Carnegie Steel
Company. Not one contributed a cent,
but all signed notes to be paid for from
profits of the business, and they were
selected upon merit after long service.

with the board of manu gers, and at the
same time sprang up the custom Of giving
bonuses to men in lower positions who
had done good work.. To this system Car
