Letters From the People
An Appreciation Of the Fair.

Sunday Capital News: In behalf of
the many exhibitors. and especially
the poultry raisers, l desire to offer this
expression of appreciation of the efforts
of the Inter- Mountain Fair association
to provide means for exhibiting the
products and exploiting the resources
of our state.
The opportunity Of exhibiting ones
products along with those of others.
and having them passed upon by
competent judge, thus affording facil-
tiles for comparison with the best Of
similar products OF the community, and
of learning how to improve the quality
from year to year. is of the greatest
value to producers in any line.
To the stockholders and officials OF
the fair association. who 80 freely and
unselfishly devote their time. energy.
ability and means, to make such an ex-
position possible, producers of all
classes certainly should be. and l am
sure are, profoundly grateful.
While approaching fully what has
been done, few friendly criticisms
will not, l am sure be amiss. One day
during the last fair. by chance the
| writer happened to go over to the
northeast corner of the grounds. where
the Judge OF the horse department was
delivering a practical talk while pass
| ing upon fine specimen OF horse
flesh. He went over the horse section
by section, pointing out his merits and
defects explaining fully and clearly. in
language devoid Of confusing scientific
terms. the features and characteristics
to be looked for. and the faults to be
guarded against in the selection, breed
ing. and judging of that particular class
of horses. Everyone who was there Is
today far better able to judge of the
merits and faults Of draft horse than
before. Unfortunately, this occurred at
an hour when only rs or 80 men found
It convenient to be present. 1t would
mean hundreds of thousads OF dollars
of added values and improved condi-
lions within the next few years II all
who have to do with horses. as breed
ers, purchasers and users. could hear
such a discourse once or twice each
year. The same applies with equal
relative force to all departments
cattle. sheep. hogs, poultry. machinery.
implements, fruits. vegetables. domestic
science, arts. etc.
In the very nature Of things. but few
OF the producers can avail themselves
OF the splendid opportunities for scien-
tifie knowledge and training afforded
|by our modern agricultural colleges. and
for the benefit Of the many who are de-
MED these advantages. institute work
and lecture Of this character would

semi ?scientific instruction.
Taking broad view Of this matter,
from the standpoint OF the general well
fare Of the community and state. Il
would appear to be entirely appropri-
ate that the expense Of providing COM

ing may be fashionably up-to-date
Surely the fault Is not with the prices,
but with our altered ideas.
"Then. too. there Is class Of lux
urIes that our aesthetic, cultivated
tastes of 1912 require, which increases
the cost of living. Twenty-Five years
ago a piano was real luxury; today
the most modest homes possess them.
Pianolas. graphophones and phono-
graphs abound. Whereas. the old
family mare and roomy surray once
sufficed, we now demand limousines
and touring cars. Books and maya
zines that were once the privilege of
the rich are now to be found In every
home of refinement. Telephones,
dumb elevators, electric devices from
doorbells to flatrons, furnish US with
time savers that would make the eyes
of our grandmothers open wide with
amazement."

Only the other day, a gray-haired

Antoinette Is the German French
version Of the old Roman "Antonia.'
The English language has no equiva-

"ARtoinette," considering It French.
Antonina was the wife OF the great
Belisarius. When the queen known as
Marie Antoinette. the wife of Louis
XVI, came to France, she was known
as Maria Antonio.
The French retained the first sylla-
BILE of her second name and added to
IL their own contraction, "toinette."

was so occupied with cares Of state
that she never had time to look after
her family.
Consequently the woman destined to
be a queen was only partly educated
and knew nothing of the duties await
ing her, yet did not hesitate to dabble
in politics. She was indlscreet besides
and became the butt OF public hatred
and contempt.
BY the dignity and courage she dis
played in misfortune she atoned fol
some of her early faults. She was
beheaded on october IL, 1893. at the
age Of 3S.

Manners For Motorists.

A local motorist raised a profound
and serious question the other day
about which many of the statesmen
along automobile row are still at sea.
Must a gentleman raise his hat to a
lady when the gentleman is riding In
a motor car" 1t has been noticed
en- various occasions that men seldom
raise their hats. but make a salute
similar to that of an enlisted man to a
commissioned officer. Some OF the
men along automobile row, believe
that the n,otorist is not exempt from
showing his good breeding and that
he should raise his hat.
Others declare that It is too much
danger. II you wear cap, they say
1t is next to impossible to get II of
and doing Its social funrtion of po-
likeness in the atmosphere before the
car has carried you far past the per-
son for whom the recognition was In
tended
And these aIti-hatraiserS also say
that If YOU are wearing a soft hat you
must pull 1t down hard on your head
to make 1t secure, and that 1t Is, there
fore, too much danger to be dis
turbing your headpiece all the time.
This subject Is still being discussed
and probably will receive serious con-
sIderation for some time to come
among the dealers and statesmen of the
national capital.
