ANNUAL MEETING CENTRAL
MAINE FAIR ASSOCIATION.
Its Affairs Laid Bare Before the Members
and Plans Talked Over for Saving the
Fair==-Indebtness Is Now About
$55O0--What Should Be Done?

for this If the fair is to continue. 1t has
been an endless source of trouble to the
officers during the past years. Already
steps have been taken toward this end
and the question of future fairs depends
entirely on the response that is given to
TINS movement by members and citizens.
With the standing that the fair has in
the State and the advantage it is to the
city, there should be no doubt as to the
ultimate success of this movement and if
ready help is given it will make it the
easier for those who are giving their
time for the benefit of the whole. When
your president entered the office it was
with Vhe expectation that one year at the
most would be the extent of his term.
The time has extended to three years
and 1t Is now impossible for business and
other reasons for him to continue in it
longer. He has endeavored to 1-for the
best interests of the fair as far as his
time allowed and has carried with the
assistance of Il few others the financial
load of its Indebtedness from year to
year. | know you will find a successor
who can accomplish more than [ have
been able. Insofar as | can. | am ready
to help him.
If the fair is to be continued. whether
under this or some other organization, Il
different organization for work should be
effected There should be general man
ager who should have the whole over
sight and have practically all his time to
devote to the fairs interests Only in
TINS way can the best be accomplished
We had hoped to have had some arrange
ment completed to overcome the financial
situation before this meeting. This must
be followed up without fail. have such
faith in the members and citizens that
| feel they will not let it fail after it has
reached its present position. There is too
much of feeling, however. that the fair
VIII be carried Oh by someone and certain
ones are relying on this with the feeling
that they are not needed to do their
share This feeling will not accomplish
results No one two or three men can
make the fair d success, and if all rely
on their ncighbors nothing will be ac-
c'omplislied. The fair is a public insti-
tuition for the benefit of the city and
state at Il whole. and not for Individual
heneft. and everyone must do his full
share to make it Il complete success.
In closing | want to thank all the off
GERS and citizens for the assistance given
me in the past.
His report was accepted and a vote
of thanks extended the members of
the association for the faithful per-
formance Of his duties.

5000 Chicago
Babies Starving.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE citizens strike
committee which has investigated condi-
tons in the families of striking garment
workers reported today that 5000 babies
are starving here as q result of the labor
war. The report was made at a meeting
at Hull House and a special babies milk
fund was started at once by members of
the committee.
Estimates at the meeting showed it
would take at least 500 day to provide
milk for babies in actual want and the
suffering appeared so great that $l100
was contributed. The fund is to be kept
distinct from other strikers funds.
The strike is no nearer settlement thar
a week ago. according to representatives
of the union. and both sides have settled
down for II long struggle.

Members of the Central MaiIie Fair As
Sociation:
Another year has passed and with it
the seventh annual exhibition and fair
of this association.
AS in past years, the weather has not
been all that could be desired. This year
j. commenced to rain Wednesday about
noon 50 the afternoon ana evening pro-
grams had to be cancelled and it did not
clear until nearly nine Thursday morning
so that DAYS attendance was interfered
with. Notwithstanding the weather. the
total attendance showed Il slight increase
over the preceding year.
Various improvements were made at
the grounds the Coliseum and exhibition
halls were connected aud additional space
made available. Connection was also
made with the upper part of the office
building and that room. not before used

one of the largest, if not the largest, fair
ever held in this state
You can best Judge Of the success of
the exhibition. Your management has re-
ceived many unsolicited compliments
from outside. uninterested sources.
Showing the extent of the exhibit, there
were over 800 cattle in that department.

100 cars We're required to transport the
cattle and horses to and from the fair
New bleachers were erected for the base

this year paid a very large proportion
of the original cost.
Your management has had great odds
to contend with during the three years

The debt at that time was large. During
the three years we have had rain on one
of the large days each year. together
with the terrible airship accident of the
first year and the falling of the Coliseum
last year. Had it not been for the aid
rendered by citizens in taking over the
grounds to carry for the association, it
would not have been possible to have
had the last two exhibitions.
The fair is now, as shown by the treas
urer's report. about $500 in debt and
some arrangement must be made to care

eALFoUR's ELECTION ADDRESS.
Opposition Leader Says That Behind
SINGLE Chamber Idea Turks Socialism.

London, Nov. 1.-THE election address
of Arthur j. Balfour. leader of the oppo-
Sition i'm the House of Commons, is a
brief document. 1t declares that the
Uniosist program of legislation is practi-
cally the same as at the general election
and asserts that behind the single cham

rule
1T is because both Nationalist and
Socialists are aware that their darling
projects are not i'm harmony with the
considered will of the people, says MI
Balfour, that they press for the aboli-
ton of the only constitutional safeguard
which at critical moments will enable
that will to prevail.
The opposition leader also alhdes with
the greatest brevity to the alternative
scheme for the reform of the House OF
Lords which Lord Lansdowne proposed.
