Whatever the governments of

ideals hope the United States
will always keep its escutcheon
clean We should unite with our
sister republics from Canada to

the ties that should bind all the
countries on the western hefni-
sphere together. In this con-
nection ! should say that the
Monroe doctrine is just as vital
to the republics of South and
Central America as to the United
States. In the enforcement of
this doctrine we should acknowl-
edge the right of all these coun-

portant that our relations with
our sister republics should be
such that not one Of them should

To Avoid ApopIexy.

Apoplexy can be treated only

fear an attack can do much to
avert it. Quiet and calm should
for them be the rule of life.

avoid hearty meals and the
drinking of much fluid. even wa

A good method of cultiyating an
apple orchard is to pillow very shallow

and then keep narrowing at least once
week. according to weather condi-

of July. Then seed the land with

Interest Growing in King County Fair

Lie people Oh Mig COuuIy SHOULD
get busy and boost as this promises
to be the big fair of the state this
fall
One thing the people of King county
do not seem to understand and that
is that this is county fair and not
private institution. Some people
still think that the trustees expect to
make money out of it. They cannot
make a dollar out of it. Not one
dollar will be paid any trustee for his
services unless employed for special
work tat takes his entire time. 1t
any money is made at the fair this
fall it will be paid back to those who
subscribed, and if there is a balance
left it will be put into the fund for d
fair next year. The trustees are
giving their time to this fair without
avn hope of reward other than to
assist in the upbuilding OF the agrl-
cultural, educational and manufacture
ing interests of King county and the
Northwest.
Twenty nine accurately measured
plats one rod wide by Is long are
provided, and seven of these facing
the grandstand have been designated
the vegetable garden tracks,. " On
them such fertilizers as potash, nitrate
of soda, phosphates. lime, barnyard
manure and combinations of each will
be used. The small tracts are now
planted to ordinary crops such as
onions, peas, beans, corn, carrots,
beets, cabbage and Others; the plan
being such as to give seven fertilizer
tests for each garden crop grown.
The plats with their crops will be
ready for comparison this fall when
the fair season comes and will con-
stitute leading feature of the eX-
hibits of the King County Fair.
Some plats are left without any fertil-
izer as "checks.
Other phases of the agricultural
demonstration will be soil cultivation
tests, in which some plats will be
plowed shallow, then disked and
plowed deeper and disked again, the
best preparation being given for the
crop. These will be used for com
parison with pIats not so we'll titled.
Another plat is left for irrigation.
One that is of interest is the school
garden tract which is divided into
plats each one rod square with two
and a half feet of unoccupied space
between each plat to prevent the
different combinations of fertilizer
from teaching across Of these it is
proposed to show what may be done
by school gardens.
On another part of the grounds it
is proposed to demonstrate the variety
tests of any desirable garden crop
that can be carried on under the
proposed school garden propagan da.
This year a variety test for potatoes
has been selected. Varieties Of po-
tatoes which already nave done we'll
in this locality have been selected
and cut into seed pieces with one eye
to each piece. The same number OF
eyes are planted on each rod square
tract and similar care will be given
! the tracts throughout the growing
season. The potatoes will be shown
during the fair by digging each one

an exceptionally pleasant meeting on
Monday. Reports from all parts OF
the county are that the people are
becoming interested in the succ ess
of the fair. A large amount of agri-
cultural products are being arranged
for and live stock men are becoming
interested in its success. A very
pleasant feature of the meeting was
the report of the finance committee.
Seattle business men are as anxious
for it's success as month ago they
we're indifferent.
The immense grandstand at The
Meadows, 300 feet long and more than
100 feet wide, has a large, roomy
building beneath it which is an ideal
exhibit space. This will be used by
the association as utility building
which will be used as a display room.
Already nearly half of the space has
been sold and more is being selected
every day.
The TO- 600 membership campaign is
getting underway and great many
memberships are being received. One
of the best exhibits of all will be that
of the public schools. A room 15C
feet long has been set apart for the
schools of the county. 1t is large and
we'll lighted and will make an ideal
exhibit room. A small room is be-
ing prepared as a woman's room and
good premiums will be offered for all
kinds of woman's work, such as cook
ing, embroidery, painting. sewing
and every department of woman's
activities.
The directors are somewhat surpris-
ed at the interest in trOtting and
running horses in this state. When
the legislature passed law putting a
stop to betting on horse racing it was
predicted that it sounded the doom
of horse racing Of all kinds. That
this is a mistake is evident to any
person who will visit The Meadows.
The Meadows being the best racing
track on the coast, and second tC
none in the United States, it was be-
lieved by the trustees could be made
a source of profit. AS soon as lease
was obtained from the owners it was
put in condition and word was sent
out that horses could be worked there
all summer and put in racing condl'
ton on the payment of So. 90 pei
month for stalls. They thought some
twenty or thirty horses around Seattle
would be trained there during the
summer, but they were not advised
as to the number Of fast horses on the
coast. Letters began to come from
horsemen from all over the coast ask
ing for information. The result is
that practically every fast horse in
Oregon, Washington and British
Columbia will be trained at The
Meadows this summer.
Already the grounds present an an
mated appearance. Nearly one
hundred horses. with their drivers
and care takers have arrived; good
restaurant has been established on the
grounds and every horseman who
comes is enthusiastic over the out
look. One string of horses arrived
from Vancouver, one from Oregon,

desire to visit with him because she
had not seen him for considerable
length of time. Consent was unhesi-
tatngly given her and she gathered
her clothes together and started.
Anxious to learn of her safe ar
rival home, Mrs. Lafever made sew
