HAS BEST EXHIBIT.
Otero County Takes Sweep Stakes at
State Fair.

From the Rocky Mountain News,
Sept. 20, 1910:
The awarding of swccpstakc for
county exhibits, the baby show and
another good racing program fca-
turcd the closing day OF the Colorado
State Fair. OterO county won the
swccpstakc prize for the best gen.
cral exhibit. Fremont county second
and Montczuma county third.
FL Paso county wen the prize for
the fest agricultural exhibit. Otero
county second and Concjos county
third.
The success OF the Otcro county
exhibit was not 4 surprise. as a fund
of S3.5oo had been raised to give the
county the best showing possible at
both the State Fair and the National
Irrigation Congress. Since Otcro
county carried off the swccpstakc
prize at the fair. il is possible that
the county will stand good chance
to win the $1,000 Hearst trophy cup
at the irrigation exhibition. which
will be awarded the county making
best general display. 1t is open to
all counties in the United States.
Other counties represented ut the
State Fair. however, will have their
exhibit supplemented with addition
al displays which have been kept in
refrigerator cars especially for the
occasion.

TO INDIANAPOLIS
Will Attend Meeting of the National
SupeTintendents' Association
Opening Tomorrow.

H. B. Hayden, city superintendent of
schools, left this morning for Indian
apOlis, where he will attend the an
nual meeting OF the National Superin-
tendents' association. This associa-
ton includes, in addition to city SUI
perintendents, county superintendent,
supervisors along special lines and
heads of normal schools. The princi-
pal topic before the meeting will be
a discussion which will aim to bring
out the fact that different children re-
quire different kind of instruction in
their daily school work on account of
the fact that they differ from each
other in mental alertness, moral re-
sponsibility, mental attitudes, tastes
and tendencies, environments, and
vocational aims. The meeting will
cover a period OF four days-Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 1t
is expected that there will be a thous-
and or more delegates present.

British parliament-thesea are among
the subjects that promise to continue
as staple topics of news and discus
sion during the week.
Charles R. Heike, secretary of the
American Sugar Refining company

spiraoy to defraud the government

Tuesday, when the provisional trade
agreement recently concluded by Can

feet. The new agreement is far

to a great extension of trade between
the two countries.

Peter Cover, a man Of thirty-hve,
whom Severance used for an assistant,
was eavesdropping outside the door
and heard every word Of the CONVEX
sation. Although he had worked with
Severance, he did not know that his
principal had succeeded in his effort.
Severance had made the browning dis
covery while working alone at night
and had guarded his secret carefully
even from his assistant. Cover, like
Severance, was a chemist, but was
employed simply as an assistant and
not entitled to any interest in his in
Ventions.
From this time forward Severance
was conscious that Cover was watch
ing him in order TO get the secret
The assistant knew the main ingre-
dents Of the composition, but the one
substance without which the union
was incomplete he did not know. One
day while Severance was at work
making the compound he saw reflect
ed in a mirror before him Covers
face intent upon him. Severance put
In all the ingredients, substituting for
the uniting substance another than the
correct one. An expression OF joy came
over the face IN the mirror.
After this Severance conceived a
dread Of his assistant One day he
gave his daughter bit Of paper with
a single word written on It and told
her to put 1t away In a little trinket
box she had and to be extremely care
full as to its preservation.
One day Fanny Severance was star
