river is deep and for the most part the fish swim

catches now made two miles above this point.

superior to the eastern smelt. has never reached
the eastern markets. The fish packed in

season the ordinary fisherman gets only about

STATE FAIR READY
FOR OPENING
New Buildings Are Being
Completed, Grounds
Cleaned and Ex-
hibits Installed

The state Fair Grounds at Okla
homa City is the center Of much activ'
ity in preparation for the Fourth An
nual Exposition which will be held
September q to October 8. Men and
teams are at work cleaning up the
grounds, putting the numerous build
ings in a state OF cleanliness, and add
ing the finishing touches TO the new
buildings. The new $4,000 Livestock
Pavilion will be completed on time
for the Livestock Judging and the In
,eresting events OF the First Annual
Horse Show.
Seventeen counties have made APP
plication for space for collective agri-
cultural exhibits. This is seven more
than the number displaying last year.
The management is working hard to
run the number of county shows up
to twenty-five, and each county should
mate an exhibit.
A large rumber OF fancy horses
have been entered for the First An
nual Horse Show which will be held
In the new Livestock Pavilion at
night from October to Z. A booklet
was recently issued giving detailed in-
formation concerning the different
classes provided for and is being
mailed to all who apply for it.
Beginning September l, the grounds
and various exhibition buildings were
opened to exhibitors and the saw and
hammer brigade is doing full time for
the folks who are getting things ready
for state people to see and talk about
for a year to come. Never was the
management in position to give state
fair visitors more for their money;
never were the grounds furnished with
as many modern conveniences. Ev-
erything indicates a record breaking
attendance for the fourth annual op-
ening of Oklahoma's greatest Live
stock, agricultural and Industrial Ex-
position.
officials of the M. X. and T., Santa
Fe, Rock Island and Frisco railroads
have announced that their respective
lines will carry passengers from any
point in the state Of Oklahoma to the
State Fair for one fare and third for
the round trip, minimum fare so cents.
The reduced schedule will apply from
September 26 to October 10. II is
hoped that all railroads in the state
will decide to make similar reduc-
tion.
It is time that everyone made reser-
vation for his needs. Full information
and the Fair Catalogue will be mailed
free to anyone addressing l. S. Mahan.

"THE POWER AND THE GLORY"

In one of the great cotton mills OF
Massachusetts may be found a certain
desk to which a secret button is at
tached. Whenever n government In
spector comes near to see that the
states child labor law is being en-
forced, this button is pressed and
warning is sent to every room in the
factory. Immediately, all children un-
der the legal age are scuttled into
hiding places prepared for just such
emergencies, and the inspector finds
the mill within the law.
1t is not about the mills OF Massa-
chusetts, the state which shouts aloud
her superiority in things government

about in her powerful story, "The

heroine Is a superb example of un-
daunted hope and courage, and you see

Wasted Effort.

There was once a man who was
continually being advised by all his
philosophical friends to be himself.
"Be yourself" they would say.
Make no pretenses; be natural; act
naturally; talk naturally"
But he found that, after he followed
the advice. stlll he did not suit them.
One said he was too formal, another
that he was too dignifled; one said he
was careless of his appearance. an
other that he was too prim, and so
on. At last he gave up in despair and
went ahead on the old plan of not
pleasing anybody-not even himself.
Moral-When ssme one tells you to
"Be yourself" he usually means, BE
like me-"
