THE COUNTY FAIR
EIma Citizens Are Pushing Fair, and
Will Visit Harbor to Sell Stock
in Association

Elma is losing no opportunity to
boost the county fair, as is attested
by the fact that its citizens have al
ready subscribed $4,000, which is be-
ing expended in building a half-mile
race track and grand stand.
A committee of Elma business men
will visit Aberdeen and Hoquiam
shortly for the purpose of selling
stock in the Fair association, and will
be assisted by committees of the COM
mercial organizations on Grays Har-
Dor, and it is hoped that their efforts
will meet with success.

times as many people as COsmopolis

President TAFT
3. Four years ago the Republicans
of Utah, in abiding confidence that lie
would bring to the performance Of his
duties a purity Of purpose worthy OF
the high office, unanimously support
ed for President of the United States
the statesman and jurist William
Howard Taft. Their confidence was
not misplaced. At the end OF this,
his first term, he stands before the
people associated in their minds With
all that is best, sincere and manly in
American character. He has sought.
without fear or favor, to enforce the
law to the end that unfair monopoly
and practices may be effectuaily pro.
hiblted. He has recommended and
approved legislation in the interest OF
all the people. He has firmly opposed
any and all attempts to minimize the
authority and power of any one of the
three great coordinate branches Of
our government, and especially has he
stood for pure judiciary. His inter
national policies, in favor of universal
peace, have appealed to the heart
and conscience of mankind and have
added dignity to his administration.
AS an advocate of peace, as friend
of the people, as an honest admins
traitor of the law, as a dignified, able
and conscientious President, aa1
above all, as a true friend of Utah
and her interests, he has won our
love. admiration and respect, and we
pledge the delegates we shall cleo.
to represent us in the national Re.
publican convention to use all hon.
orable means to secure his renomin
alton.

 And now you divine the character of the man in the case. From what have been able to gather, the bachelors character is almost identical with your description or A Sancti- monious Trifier.' I sincerely hope your won- derful knowledge of the subject you treat has not been gained by personal experience and that you have come by this knowledge through inspiration. The comments and advice which have come to the wife of my friend since writ ing the letter herewith inclosed seem to have had good effect. called at my friends house last night, bringing few copies of THE TRIB- UNE as usual, and have lately observed that when she picks upon any of the papers she usually turns to your page, but promptly diverts her eyes from your article as soon as she thinks she is observed

flame. Were he to cast aside this mask of indifference she and the whole world would find a tortured heart beating in his bosom Indifference is his safeguard against his armor. Women believe that years of deyo- ton will bring a reward of changing indif- ference into liking Men knew the utter fu- tility of such hopes.
 Indifference has no connecting link witt love. It is not of the magnetic power from which affections spring The link is so weak and brittle that if it strains ever so slightly it crumbles like chain left too long in rust.
 The tender passion called love is like the bloom only to wither in the bud, or the vine denied its right of fruitage. There are women who look upon the growing indifference of n lover with alarm. They realize that it means the death of happiness If the woman allows herself through pique to grow indifferent then indeed all possible chance of happiness that existed is dead.
 The woman who loves deyotedly will not see the little God edge further and further away from her without doing everything in her power to win him to her heart again. If all the tender little wies and graces are used which first won his admiration and enmeshed his heart fail to conquer his indifference then she may know that her task is useless. The lamp of love has burned itself out in his breast

should be guarded against by the most jealous care. Very often both parties are to blame for this state of indifference which faces them. Pride and anger are it's allies.
 A little submission on the part of either or both would stamp it out ere it became for midable weapon of harm to them. When in- difference has duled the sensibilities of one or the other they cease to care whether or not they hurt each others feelings. Senti- ment is lost. There is no tenderness left in the heart to appeal to. There is another kind of indifference which is appalling to con template, and that is one which son or daughter may fall into for the parents which know no happiness save through them. o love like no other love. How cruel is the realization that indifference of theirs is the reward of faithful watch care.

 Cannot you give me some enlightenment? If I weren't Christian girl l should be tempted to end all things, but it is such cowardly thing to do. My father is dead and so I haven't him to confde in.

 "There is one friend who seems to under stand my situation, and though he never openly sympathizes with me he often tells me what to do.

 Although have taken careful pains to see that all your good advice and your admoni- tions come to her notice, I am still puzzled to know what will cause married woman to carry on correspondence which she does not show her husband or to meet a man secretly. Why can the miserable creature who caused this trouble not be punished? If the woman was at fault should not the bachelor have pro tected her, married woman, if he was her friend? This is a case which makes my own heart ache every time I think of it. I some times feel as if my own heart were breaking when become aware that my efforts to bring about the old devoted feeling between the couple are apparently availing but little. My friend is trying his best to do his share. He is kind and considerate, and l believe if his wife can be persuaded to show the right spirit that conditions can be improved, but I doubt if complete restoration of confidence can be established
