There is trouble ahead for the board
of state fair directors and it's reported
deficit. How came there to be de.
ticit and what was the reason for the
meeting extraordinary OF the board
on Sunday morning following fair
week, when each voted himself his
salary and expenses? Quite a few
creditors whose clamor for money
owing them has been met with the
answer that they would have to await
meeting of the directors this week
have been asking this question. They
threaten an investigation. In 1904
there were four days of rain and no
deficit. Last year the fair finished
with a big surplus and the curious are
now asking what was done with it.
Twin City banks were reported as
ready to help the fair out to the limit,
but word comes now that some of
them want to be shown. They fear
trouble at the hands of the next leg
islature, and from all accounts there
will not be any lack -of interesting
stuff when the legislature does start
the probe.

TRADE IS
TO BE DOUBLED
MANUFACTURERS PLAN TO IN
CREASE FOREIGN BUSINESS
TO $4,000, 100000 IN NEXT
FIVE YEARS.

Washington, oct. IA nation wide
movement to increase the foreign
trade of the United States to the enor-
nous total of $4,000, 900, 900 within the
next five years has been inaugurated
by the leading manufacturers and ex-
porters of the country. 1t has inter-
ested the business men from the At
lantic to the Pacific, and promises to
make the great European producers
do some fresh calculating.
This movement is not altogether
new, but the extent of its present
sweep and the magnitude of it's ambi-
tions are just being realized. IL
means that ultimately the United
states will become the workshop for
the manufactured products used i'm the
western hemisphere, and that il win
further become the supply center for
the great Industrial development of
Africa and Asia.
Just now the manufacturers OF
Great Britian and Germany dominate
the South African, the South Ameri-
can and the Asiatic markets. They
have their vast merchant marine and
they have pushed their trade into re-
mote regions. The story of this trade
conquest is told by almost every con-
sular report received in Washington.
and this same story has aroused the
enterprise Of American producers II
has caused them to rise and demand
their part OF the foreign business OF
the world.

is just in its infancy; but if the prog

brothers built a machine which met
the requirements of the government,
and l. was accepted.

proven their worth, though as yet no

been possible. The nearest approach
