The Copper Country Fair is on, and
IL is bigger and better than ever. Al
though the weather yesterday was not
as good as II might have been. the at
tendance for the first day was equal
TO that of last year. The Amphidrome
at night presents a pleasing spectacle
both inside and out, with its many
lights. Japanese lanterns are strung
through the big rink and the bright
colors OF the stands and exhibits give
the impression of holiday celebration.
A greater exhibit OF farm products
is shown than ever before i'm the his
tory Of the fair, I'm spite of the fact
that this was considered a backward
year for the farmers.
Entertainments Please.
The attractions this year have made
a decided hit with those who have seen
them. They are all high class and one
of them alone is worth the price of
admission to the faif-Rex's comedy

The average yield of sugar bects

heavier than in any previous year, ac-
cording to G.. w. Mccormick. general
manager of the Menominee River Su-
gar company The acreage is not SO
large as in other seasons. but next
year will more than make up the pres
ent outlook. weather conditions
the past thirty days have been unus-
ually favorable for the crop and the
beets have obtained phenomenal
growth during that time" said Mr..
Mccormick. I'VE would rather not see
any more rain, however, for the next
two weeks, as the sugar is forming
in the beets at this season of the year
and a heavy rain might give them "A
setback from which they would re-
cover with difficulty% Now that it
is almost time for the beets to be har-
vested, work has been begun getting
everything ready at the sugar factory
to start operations within few
weeks. Mr. Mccormick stated that in
all likelihood the plant would start
up about the same time as last year.

unknown, and as a matter OF fact
will be impossible, If some of our
farmers will quit raising oats and tim

soils are adapted for. Generally speak

TOM LAWSON'S GOLDEN FLEECE.

son dazzling the eyes of the Ken

Fleece, and under the picture are

feeced?"
Tom VIII take all the tobacco in
the hurley pool. which comprises
practically the whole Kentucky crop
and win organize the pool into a
$50, 100000 corporation with a self
perpetuating board OF governors. He
will sell $4,000. 900 of stock in Ken
lucky and Tennessee. The balance
he will raise in the east. That sounds
well. All these schemes by which the
needy producer is to corner his own
product sound well, and We have no
doubt Tom Lawson means to fight the
trust. Nay, we have not the slightest
reason for believing that Tom Law
son will not make a big fortune out
of the scheme We think he will;
but We also think the farmers will
lose. We remember Toms copper
transactions. We have the highest
admiratSon for his knowledge of
human nature. aud this idea of taxi

OF our calculations. With Tom in

about growing tobacco; but when
