State Fair an Institution.
The state fair is one Of the institutions
of Oklahoma and has been great sue
cess. Last year the attendance was
100, 264, and premiums amounting to
S15. 1S9 were paid to competing live stock
and agricultural products. There were
.o36 exhibitors, an increase of % per cent
over 1909, and the fifth annual fair, which
Is to be held from September 20 to Oc-
tober Z. 1911, will surpass that record
from every point of view.
The good people of Oklahoma claim
that there never was such fair In the
world as theirs has been since the grounds
were opened to the public October l. 1907.
and they declare that no fair In the his
tory Of the United States has ever shown
such a rapid development. 1t belongs to
an association of business men In Okla
homa City, who give their time to the
management of the enterprise without
compensation, and put the profits into i'm
provements. The state has never voted
a dollar to the fair. although It Is under
the pa ronage of the authorities and Is
regarded as the most important and eff
fective means OF advertising the resources
| of Oklahoma and, by the competitions Of
fered, inspiring ambition among the
FARMERS and stock growers for improve
ment.
+ The association now has an investment
| of nearly 100000 in fifty-eight buildings
and the land on which they stand. The
receipts in 1910 at the gate were $780,
S64 IL, and increase from SIC. $50 FIVE years
| ago.

ture of the public funds. Each commits
sioner is the business head of busi-
ness department of city affairs and the
electors know when they vote what the
duties Of each commissioner are, so that
they may select the candidate best f1tted
for the place. They receive salaries Oh

of FIVE years so that one goes out every
year and there are always experienced

are eminently simple. This one is
scanned at the front and back, con-
sequently its lower edges are straight
and it is especially we'll adapted to
bordered material. although it can be
used for anything seasonable with
trimming arranged to suit the taste.
The high waist line is exceedingly
smart and in every way to be desired
when its suits the figure, but there
are wearers who will find the belt
more becoming and the skirt can be

Cracker, piano pupils Of Miss Corde-
liz Husburd and Miss Irma Mallory,
contralto, pupil Of Volney L. Mills.
Praise for Mr.. Mills.
The following from the St. Paul
Pioneer Press will be read with in
terest as it expresses the opinion of
the musicians Of that city on Mr..
Mills singing:
"At a musicale given last Saturday
evening at the Aberdeen by Mr.. and
Mrs Frank O'AIeara the greater part
of the program was sung by Volney
L. Mills of Grand Forks, n. D.. a
young tenor who has not been heard
before in st. Paul.
"Mr. Mills has a remarkably good
voice-clear, smooth, sympathetic and
powerful--and he uses it with mark
ed intelligence and taste. which are
plainly instructive and not the result
Of training, although he gives evil
dence of having studied we'll
Among his songs were four from
a group Of five composed by Louis
Rowland and called "In Mans Life ~
OF these the one designated Loves
Awakening" perhaps was the most
enjoyable. Lady SCOTS arrangement
of the old song, Turn Ye to Me-"
was another charming bit of inter-
probation, but Mr.. Mills art and
achievement were at their height in
the Joyful Song" a German Easter
choral Of four or five centuries ago,
and suggesting Bach in both form
and spirit. He sang it in the bright,
clean-cut manner which it's type de-
mands, and which is too seldom
heard, especially among young sing
ers.
Mrs. O'Mear's beautiful contralto
contributed a great deal to the even
ing's enjoyment and among her num-
bers were two cycles. Cadman's
Japanese one. "Sayonara," and ANY
Woodforde Fiden's "a Dream Of
Egypt" The former was particularly
lovely, the singer handling it in really
brilliant style.
Some few songs, among them
Nevin's Rosary" were sung by
Ralph Stokes, whose big, mellow bass
voice was heard to such good effect in

An you'll help tn world be merry
While " live through happy days.
Keen on dreamin', it won't hurt y;
Let tn world know you don't care
Though the wild winds rage an ruin
All your castles OF the air.
Sing your song-if it's a sad one
Better sing it mighty low,
But if there is sunshine it
Lift your voice and let us know
Don't quit hopin', it will bring y
All Y need an plenty more.
He who works an keeps a-smilin'
Finds life sweet unto tn core.

Y won't mind it if y smile.
