Papers in the Arctic.,

FFum the San Francisco Chruuicle.
The first paper published In the Arctic
Zone was by Kane's expedition in 1ss4,
and was called the Ice Blink The tour-
nal published by the Greedy expedition
was the Arctic Moon.
This sheet was fifteen by nineteen
inches in size, first prepared in manu-
script and then duplicated by photo
graph, the first issue being November 2
1881, and followed by semi-monthIy edi-
lions. AS neither the walruses, wolves,
bears, nor mush oxen OF Grtnneli Land
were enthusiastic in the enterprise, the
patrons Of the paper were confined to
the colony Of explorers.
In his opening address the editor
proudly maintained that his corps Of
contributors embraced the finest minds
in the country; that reporters would al
ways be on the spot; that the journal
was certain to be superior to any Others
in that section, and that the subscrip-
ton list numbered not less than $500.

We have made complete arrange

DELAWARE STATE FAIR
Arrangements About Completed for
the Great Event

The Delaware State Fair which opens
at Wawaset Park, Wilmington, next
Tuesday, to continue for four days, Sep
tember I0th, nth, 18th and 18th, is
certain to be the biggest event of the kind
in the history of the State, or of the
Penninscla. Arrangements completed to
date make tEis absolutely certain. The
only thing that can seriously interfere is
rain, and the fair management is optmis-
tic enough not to worry over that
possibility.
Only those who have been in close
touch with the fair work the past few
months can realizs the tremendous
amount of work that has been done.
Wawaset Park has undergone a complete
transformation, and the big steel and
concrete grandstand, erected at a cost of
about $4,000, shows up strong in the
background of the numerous changes and
transformations that have been made to
the grounds.
The racing events planned for insure
splendid sport, and the various exhibits
will be much larger than ever before.
There will be numerous side attractions
and amusements, and the comfort and
conveniences of the thousands of visitors
will not be lost sight of for moment.
In a word. the management of the
Delaware State Fair expect to establish a
high standard in the 1919 fair, and from
present indications their plans are to be
fully realized in every way.
