.fRATERNAL DAY
 AT STATE FAIR
SPECIAL DAY HAS BEEN SET ASIDE FOR FRATERNAL OR
 GENERATIONS.
Details Have Been Plaed in the Hands of Waiter M. EbeI to Perfect
 the Plans.

One Of the principal events of the coming State Fair, but one that has not, owing to details not having been perfected. received the attention that 1t will from now on. is Fraternal Day. which will be held Friday of the week of the state exposition. It Is the in tention of the State Fair management to make this day memorable one. not alone in the history of the asso ciation, but also where every fraternal society participating is concerned.
 Yesterday Secretary George K. Beld- ing authorized Walter M. Ebel of the Daily News, to take charge of this feature of the fair. requesting him to visit and communicate with each fra ternal society in Hot Springs and re- quest them, on behalf of the State Fair, to make Fraternal Day one of the biggest events of that week.
 1t Is the intention of the State Fair management to offer three beautiful silver loving cups for first, second and third prize, to the fraternal organiza- tions that will make the best showing on that day. Each lodge will be judg- ed on the number of men in line. the originality of their costumes or uni forms and the beauty and decorations of respective floats.
 To the fraternal societies a signal honor has been given in that they are the only ones to whom permission has been extended to parade inside the state fair grounds. There will be only one parade given that week inside the grounds of the great state exposition and that will be held by the combined fraternal organizations of the city.
 T am of the opinion that Fraternal Day at the State Fair can be made one of the most interesting events of the entire weeks program said Secretary Bedding yesterday. Hot Springs is fortunate in the number of fraternal societies it possesses, each one of which is doing great work in it's own way. The Moose have demonstrated what they can do by their Kansas City trip; the Eagles. I hear, are due for another boom, and have requested Mir. Ebel to go into the subject thoroughly, to visit and communicate with the respective fra ternal organizations and get all of them, or as many as will do so, in line for a grand fraternal pageant Fri day of State Fair week This will be the only parade given inside the grounds There is good-naturei ri valry, 1 understand, between some oi the fraternal societies and Fraternal Day will be the means of giving each lodge most excellent opportunity tc show it's strength and demonstrate its patriotism for the State Fair.
 This event is entirely in Mir. Ebel's hands, and any lodge which desires tc participate in the Fraternal Day ex ercises should communicate their in tentions to MT. Ebel without loss ol time. I believe that very interest. ing program could be arranged of a spccia! fraternal nature, something that would make for increased interest where all lodges are concerned. The State Fair management is willing to do it's part to make the day a great success. The prizes that will be of fered will be worthy of the efforts put forth to win them. and l trust that the local fraternal organizations will respond in manner that will leave no doubt as to the success of this special feature.'
