Stermer says she cannot wait
longer.
Since the story of how the girl
found the purse and returned it
was published, several women
have sent Helen Kane clothes.
She said today:
"The ttouble is l don't need
clothes. have all the clothes 1
want" and she smoothed down
her. dress.
The dress was a plain black af-
fair of the cheapest material. It
is the only one she has.
"The only thing we need just
now is money to pay the rent"
the girl went on. "And 1 don't see
how we are going to get it. 1t

ST. PAUL, May 13.-"Do not over
look the county fairs. They form the
pivot in the development of the North
western states agriculturally. They
are the great clearing houses for the
big land products and live stock shows
as we'll as all state fairs. y
This is the keynote which Louis
W. Hill, president of the Great
Northern railway has sounded and
which will be taken up with a vim
when the Northwestern Development
League meets in Seattle in June.
The benefits to be derived from the
county fairs of the seven Northwest
ern states, Mr.. Hill sums up as fol-
lows:
ADVANTAGES OF FAIRS
''1) They start many persons ex-
hibiting who would never think of
making exhibits at the state fair.
"(2) They bring the fair sufficient
ly near so that all may attend.
"(3) They educate the farmers IN
attendance along the lines of their
own greatest needs.
"(4) They stimulate effort in the
direction of highest excellence.
''(5) They tend greatly to the build
ing up of the state fair, both in regard
to attendance and exhibits. Because
of these benefits the small fair is we'll
worthy OF the support of the state
and of all actively engaged in bust
ness in the communities in which
they are held"
Mr.. Hill further says:
EXHIBITORS ENCOURAGED.
Zone reason why many farmers do
not exhibit at state or other large
fair is the apparent hopelessness OF
ever winning prize because of the
extent of the competition coming as
it does from so wide an area, but
when the area is limited as in the
case of a county fair or even OF fair
more local than county fair the
farmer feels that he is competing

or even a more local fair in a thriving
condition The Ontario government
aids fairs in every township and in
no place on the continent has agri
culture been more perfect than in
that province.

When writing to advertisers mention

Boost County Fairs, Says Hill

against one of his own class, and there
fore when he is the possessor of a
product that he believes to be superior
he is encouraged to exhibit the same.
This he can do with little or no ex-
pense in placing the article on ex-
hibition, hence if he does not win he
does not feel the pinch of financial
loss as he would had he exhibited at
the state fair.
.'The location of the smaller fair
makes it easily possible for many a
farmer to attend who may not be able
to afford the expense incurred in
iourneying to the state fair and OF
maintenance while there. Such men
are content in the absence of the
smaller fair to stay at home, and
therefore miss the benefits in educa-
tional lines that fairs furnish SO
effectively by way OF ocular demon
stration. He is encouraged to go to
the smaller fair because he knows
many of his acquaintance will be
there whom he can meet and he has
friends in the town who are glad to
care for him, it may be. during his
stay at the fair.
HIGHLY EDUCATIONAL.
'Such fairs are highly educational
as indeed are all fairs. The farmer
may have concluded that a certain
product which he grows is about as
good as can be produced with that
line. AS long as he stays at home he
becomes no wiser with reference to
shortcomings in his work. When he
goes to the fair and puts that pro-
duct on exhibition he finds to his
establishment that half a dozen other
are ahead of him the in competition.
He is naturally anxious to know the
reason why and in this way he comes
to see imperfections in his methods
that he would never otherwise have
seen. He can get such information
with less of distraction than would
attend the securing OF the same at
the large fair because Of the many
sided attractions at the latter.
ONE LEADS TO THE OTHER.
'The farmer who becomes regular
exhibitor at a small fair is almost
Ger tain to become an exhibitor at a
large fair. At the small fair he has
received the stimulus to try and dis
lance all his competitors. This leads
him to study methods by which high
est excellence may be attained

OF BENEFIT TO ALL.

''ln no way can support be furnish
ed so cheaply and so surely for the
state fair as by encouraging the small
fair. State money given to sustain
it is given in good cause. Chambers
of commerce which give moral and
material support to such fairs are en-
gagged in a good work and the same
is true of local boards of trade. Even
merchants, land men, business men
of all lines and professional men are
casting bread upon the waters that
will come back to them, when in
judicious way they give tangible en-
couragement to the local fair In no
way can agriculture in a neighbor-
hood be lifted to so high a plan at so

Organized for Work

The new Republican committee OF
Rocsbridge met in the Courthouse
Saturday. this being the first meet
ing since the landslide ia the ranks,
when the old regime was relocated
to the rear and new men and a new

propose to work tremendously.

number OF precinct committeeman,
and to this end additional men we're
added to the committee from the va
rious precincts. Those from Lex
ington are: Messrs. I. P. Wills. w.
