Meat Packers Association, which met
in annual convention here today, init
mates that the select committee of
to investigate the high cost of living
did not act in the best faith in exam
lining the packers. The report says:
Another indication of the prejudice
which yet exists against the packers
was the hearing before the select COM
mittee of the United States senate
relative to the wages and prices Of
commodities. Your president and sec
retary and two ex-presldents We're
subpoenaed to appear before the COM
mittee and though the purpose of the
Investigation was to find reasons for
the increased cost of all foodstuffs the
committee asked our witnesses but
few questions along this line.
The whole inquiry, extending over
several days, indicated deep prejudice
which exists against packers by even
so dignitied a body as the United
States senate"
The opinion is expressed that the
belief is growing with the public that
the packers as a class are doing a
legitimate business.
The only particular exception,
saws the executive committee, was
the so-called meat boycott Of last win

Five county fairs In the Pensacola
district will bring their entire shows
and exhibits to the great Interstate
Fair which will be held in Pensacola
November to u. These counties IN
this district which will have fairs are
Washington, Holmes and Santa Rosa
in Florida, and Geneva and Baldwin
in Alabama. All Of these county fairs
will be held before the Interstate Fair
and all of the counties will compete
for the best county exhibit premium
and will use the pick Of their own
county fairs as the nucleus for the
new exhibit. In each instance it is
said these county fairs will be very
creditable and will be large institu-
tions considering that they are only
county fairs. These exhibits alone
will make the contest for the county
exhibits very interesting but over and
above this all the other counties In
the district are also entering the con-
test and il may be safely said that all
Of the counties will have good exhibits.
| Entries continue to be made for the
| contest for the best individual farm
exhibit and there will, be large num-

Mr.. r. J. Pleas, Of Chipley, asked for
800 feet Of space for his individual
exhibit
The Singer Sewing Machine Com
pany has telegraphed to the manage
ment Of the fair that It will bring to
Pensacola the splendid exhibit it main
tanned at the Appalachian exposition
at Knoxville, which excited so much
admiration and comment. This exhibit
will be one of the most interesting of
| all the machinery exhibits at the fair.
! The announcement has been made
that the smallest midget in the world,
the Little Russian Prince" is coming
to the fair. His manager telegraphed
yesterday that he would surely come.

years old and weighs sixteen and a

Today is the last day in which en-
tries may be made for live stock and

should go to the headquarters this

Farm exhibits may be entered until
