Der of Commerce at a meeting today de-
cided to give its enthusiastic support to
the plan of Mrs. Henry F.. Dimock Of
New York for the erection Of huge con-
vention hall in Washington as a memo

Chairman Cox Predicts Success.
". v. Cox. chairman of the joint COM
mittee Of the trade bodies appointed to
take UP the Dimock plan. attended the
meeting today and told the conventions
committee that he had no doubt the two
committees could work In perfect har-
mony and accomplish great deal toward
raising the $250.vOO which Mrs. Dimock
believes Washington should raise toward
the s., 600 necessary to build the con-
vention hall. Mr.. Cox said his committee
had been appointed particularly to try
to get the contributors to the audi
forum fund which was started here
after the last Inauguration to transfer
their contributions to the George WASH
ingtOn memorial fund.
About $4,000 was subscribed to the au-
amount Mr.. Cox said $4,000 had been
transferred to the George Washington
memorial fund. He added, however,
that his committee had been appo.n. ed
during the summer. when most Of the
subscribers to the old fund were out OF
the city, and that on that account many
Of them had not been reached yet.

Cox, chairman; Charles ]. Bell, John Joy

grounds will remain closed for the last
three or four months Of the present fiscal
year IL the necessary 5000 is not raised.
AS this would mean depriving the chill
dren of their recreation during the spring
months, when child energy is at topnotch
and when the Fairgrounds would do chill
dren and mothers more good than at any
other time, such an event is looked on
in the light of calamity by officers OF

will decide to continue the work as long
as possible. trusting that incoming con-
tributions throughout the winter and
spring will provide for the maintenance
Of the grounds.

A county fair association with stock
holders in every section Of the county
-men who have money invested in the
enterprise and who will therefore de-
vote their personal energies to making
0it a success-is a proposition which
Secretary kirkpatrick Of the Chamber
Of Commerce is advocating.
Il would not want to see the citizens
Of Chickasha undertake another agri-
cultural exhibit without such an ar
rangement. said MI Kirkpatrick. "Our
exhibit this year was very creditabie
one, but very few contributed to it and
only handful OF farmers attended.
It is a waste Of money for the people
Of Chiclsasha to attempt anything Of
this sort unless the farmers want it
and will take an interest in it. we
spent probably $70O on the exhibit this
year and understand that in past
years still larger amounts have been
spent for the same purpose,
we ought to have fair every year
and It could be made Of vast benefit to
the county but it can't amount TO any
thing without the active cooperation
Of the farmers. A few OF our farmers
are wideawake ts5 the Importance OF
the proposition and they worked loy-
ally for the success Of the exhibit this
year but the great mass Of them SEEM
ed wholly Indifferent. Unless this con.
dition can be changed would favor
