HOW CAN WE HAVE A
BETTER COUNTY FAIR?

To the Register: ,
Mr.. Stakeholder and others about
the county, who are Interested answer
this question for yourselves.
In the first place, let one who has
had experience in handling, and
knows the sentiment of fair crowds
give a few suggestions. In the last
three years eighty per cent of the
people who have attended the Brook
ings county fair have gone home dis
satisfied. The reason for this is that
the Brookings county fair has a repu-
tation of getting their money and Civ
ing nothing in return and living up
to that reputation.
Now Mr.. Stakeholder, have you done
your part to better these conditions?
Or have you when you read the no.
tice of the annual meeting Of the
stockholders, sat back with a sigh and
remarked, well, there is no use of
my attending the meeting, as that
same old bunch will be there and they
will run things to suit themselves"
Is this the right spirit? Are you a
gutter or are you n Of those live
ones who will come to the next meet
ing and say what you think ought to
be done?
You say the fair furnishes no en-
tertainment. Right you are, Put
yourself in the place Of the country
boy or girl who watches annually for
the county fair and when it comes
has to go on the first day and look at
two or three pumpkins and possibly
a few head of live stock. Is 1t any
wonder they don't want to come back
the next day, when they can see
these things any day at home?
Now you ask how are we going to
better this condition. Well, Mr..
Shareholder, it has come to the point
where something has got to be done,
there should be something doing all
the time in this burg or we will lose
the crowd.
Last year any one who took a holt
day and came to the fair, could see
all there was in one-half hour. the
remainder of the day he could spend
calling the neighbors Eel the phone
and telling what kind Of a fair Brook
ings county had.
Now do not get the opinion that
the writer does not believe in exhibits,
they go a long ways toward making a
fair and are enjoyed by the older PEG.
pie. But who Is it that makes up the
crowd and spends the money? Is il
the older ones? No, it is the young
people and they are the ones to cater
to.
Mr.. Shareholder, be at the next
meeting strong, get up and speak out
don't leave this to a few who have
fallen into a rut and can't get out

the song she sang was of an Irish

Many women of wealth occasionally
make similar gifts out Of the fortunes
left them on their death, but few are
so large hearted that they will share
their fortunes during their lifetime.
Miss Parker's fortune consists, like
Mrs. Malcolm Whitman's. mostly in
land. The Parker plantation covers
miles and miles Of territory, some OF
1t sugar and pineapple plantations and
q good deal of 1t unimproyed The
grazing lands cover another large ex-
tent of island land and here tens OF
thousands of heads of cattle roam
over meadows and hills. This will all

Miss Parker's fortune truly posses,
zion princess might envy. 1t came
TO her from her grandmother, through
her father. Her grandmother was a
Eative Hawaiian related to the reign
ing family.
Like q sovereign ruler, Miss Parker
will have all of those who live on her
lands, all Of those whose families
neighbored with her own, share In the
iner1iment of her wedding festivities.
There is something allinclusive In
the hospitality of the island, a spirit
OF sincere neighborliness which makes
every one genially disposed toward
everyone else. Perhaps 1t Is the in.
eFitable result foilowiRg on an Island.
Perhaps the isolation creates q one.
family feeling Of unity.
At any rate, the wedding feast will
provide for the entertainment of over
G thousand and there viii be "a week
of merriment. with dancing. music and
feasts. 1t is to be celebrated after
the Hawaiian style and 1t will likely
lie the last of its kind.
Miss Parker has acquired house
in Honolulu which is being prepared
for their occupancy. They were build.
ing another home in San francisco
and this will probably be their home
curing their visit here next winter. !

ing San Francisco to bestow hand and
fortune on men from other parts
might occasion the impertiuent inquir.
er to ask what our own young men
think Of II. But they are SO aceustom-
ed to seeing our heiresses going else
where to live as soon as they come
into their fortunes that perhaps the
subject elieits no comment from them
whatever.
The marriage of Miss Jennie Crock
er and Malcolm Douglas Whitman
brought men and women to the city
from many parts of the country and
from England. II was one of the hand
soonest weddings in years and smart
set society was thoroughly represent
ed in the 200 or 800 guests attending
the function.
The next heiress to be married viii
be Miss Thelma Parker, who, although
Honolulu girl, spent many years OF
her school days here and in Europe
and really made her debut here last
winter, participating in all of the gay
cites of the sub-debutante set. 1t was
planned to have gala coming out
party this winter. when the young lady
took matters into her own hands by
becoming engaged while en- route
from this city to Honolulu last spring.
Her marriage to Henry Gaillard
Smart Of Virginia will take place on
July 26.
Miss Parker's wedding will be mark
ed by the same genial, generous spirit
as that which characterized the cele-
bration when she became. of age last
March. Her generosity makes Miss
Parker unique afiorg the heiresses Of
America. When Miss Parker came In

could not be touched during her life
