Boosting Joplin's Exposition

Three big touring cars, compris-
ing the flying squadron" of the
Ozark Interstate Exposition"
scheduled for Oct 8-17 at Joplin,
arrived in Jasper at noon Monday
and the members of the party
spent an hour or more talking up
local interest in the project. The
party consisted of Guy T. Humes,
mayor of Joplin, Henry Martin,
]. c. Graham, T. c. Nolan, Bert
McCulloch, F. NJ. Cummings, T. C.
Bradshaw, Leo Yount, and Sidney
Wilkins, all of whom are connected
with the exposition in various ca
pacities, and H. L. Kopel and LII.
Whittich, representatives of the
Globe and News-Herald respect
lively.
Mayor Humes and Mr.. Cum
mings made short talks to hastily
congregated audiences in front of
the Pitts store, and urged Jasper
to cooperate in making the affair a
success.
One of the three autos got
stuck" in Postum, just south of
town, and but for the prompt and
valiant services of Mayor Humes
in his "bare-skin' bathing suit,
would probably be there yet.

FAIRFIELD

The outlook for the farmer as re- gards his crops is not as good as could be wished, and much anxiety is felt regarding the present heated and dry term. The hot. dry winds of the past two or three days have done a great deal of damage. The onion crop, which was planted from seeds, is virtually lost. The onions have been attacked by lice in unusual numbers and thus far spraying has done no doing better. The late potato crop las been hard hit. There is a short age of moisture and fears are express ed that the potatoes will be small and hardly worth gathering. In some fields the corn is curling in the leaf; dry weather. Pastures are burnt up and the dairyman is getting it in the neck, since he has to buy feed for his cows and this is very high. In some pastures the springs have gone dry and the farmer is casting about to find water. A good soaking rain is needed to relieve the situation, but meteorolog- ical conditions do not indicate such a blessing at present.
 Miss Wakeman and Miss Hall are expected home tomorrow from their journey into the country. They have not found conditions as pleasant as could be wished. It has been diff cult to get accommodations. and prices for the comforts of life are exceeding ly high.
