The Tri-State Fair Association 81
Memphis has arranged to make the agri-
cultural exhibits of the fair this year,
September % to 80, inclusive, the prom

The arrangement mas been SO perfected
that each county in Arkansas, Missis
siPpi and Tennessee which enters the
fair with an agricultural exhibit will re-
ceive not less than $4,000 in prizes,
while those counties which excel may win
considerably more.
The outlay will be considerable and the
returns to the fair will not be proper
tionate TO the expenditure, but the man.
agement expects the reward to come in
an incentive for better agricultural
methods and better results in farming
n the South.
The exhibits viii Be an object lesson

ing and produce bumper crops according
to the improved methods which all up

time.
Dependent on Agriculture.
The Tri-State Fair is largely depend.
ent upon the agricultural cooperation OF
Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee in
making it a success, as the city of Mem
phis must be sustained by the products
of the farms of those three states. 1t is
in recognition of this fact that the fair
association has placed the agricultural
building in place of prominence near
the main entrance to the grounds and is
giving much thought to developing the
attractive as well as the educational
features of this department of the fair.
The county exhibit feature has proven |
quite success in the past, but has never
'een the complete success which was
lesired nor what may be expected from
his years fair. The interest has been
from year TO year and the
cope of territory covered and the num-
er of exhibits this year will be larger
han ever before.
The amount of money offered for
ounty exhibits has been largely in
reased and the prizes have been SO ar
anged that each county will profit from
he distribution.
There will be first, second and third

BURGLARS EMULATE

after they were discovered robbing q
safe in q wine shop.
When ordered to surrender they opened
fire with automatic pistols and barri-

electric wires had been cut, the battle
was fought in darkness.
The police surrounded the shop and
returned the burglars FIRE from the
windows Of neighboring buildings. Two
burglars surrendered at daybreak. but
their leader declined to give himself up.
He threatened to kill every policeman
who entered the building.
The police finally battered down the
door, and Just as they rushed into the
shop the burglar shot himself. He died

BRITAIN FEEDS
HER SCHOOLBOYS
Variety and Plenty Afforded by
New Dietary Adopted by
Schoolmasters.

London, June s-wackford squeers
would turn in his grave II he knew that
the schooImasters Of the United King
dom met in solemn conclave at the Guild
hall to discuss the question what a
schooIboy should be given to eat.
The master of DOtheboys Hall i'm
agined that he had answered the ques-
ton once for all when he put at the
end of his advertisement the words,
mo extras, no vacations and diet un-
paralIeled." But the world has moved
fast and far since Charles Dickens stood
forth as the champion Of the schoolboy.
The problem is no longer on how little
q boarder may be kept alive, but with
what variety and abundance he may be
fed without danger to his health.
This, at any rate, was the note of
the conference at which Lord Mayor
presided. The deliberations revealed an
indulgence that will be heartily approved
by every schoolboy, especially when he
hears of the liberal and luxurious die
tary recommended by DR.. Dukes.
But there is a skeleton at every feast.
Some Of the speakers threw out dark
hints that seem to. threaten institutions
dear to the schoOlboy. To hear the tuck
shop denounced as a place where the
young appetite is debauched must have
shocked memories Of many delightful

conference with a short word Of his own.
His appetite is the only test he need
apply in these fortunate days when cold

Queer Behavior Of Queen Alexan-

Court Circles.

London, June S-An incident which
occurred during the recent Informal Wis

the Shakespeare exhibition organized by
Mrs George Cornwalhs West Is being
discussed at many social gatherings.
Queen Alexandra on looking up at one
OF the Old World houses espied the in

she cried impulsively:
How sweet OF you, dear Mrs. West,
to remember him"
Mrs. West, being q woman Of wisdom,
made no EFFORT TO explain that the In
itials stood for Elizabeth Regina, not
for Edward Rex.
Queen Alexandra's erratic movements
are causing considerable anxiety. not
only to her own household, but to many
people outside. She frequently changes
an order half a dozen times a day and
members OF ner household are kept busy
guessing which instruction will be final
The Queen Mother shows an almost
painful desire to keep before the pub

she has suffered recently IN the death
OF the King OF Denmark and her Cum

making public Appearances for awhile
As soon as It IS known that King
George and Queen Mary are to visit an
exhibition or institution, Queen Alex
Rndra sends word that she is coming
the day before. The officials are, there

FEMINIST CALLS
WOMAN FIGHTER
Jean Finot, Paris Journalist, Says
She Is Able to Bear Arms
and Cites Examples.

Paris, June S-Jean Finot, director Of
La Revue. is a confirmed feminist.
His latest argument is that woman is
able to bear arms. History is full Of
examples Of her military aptitudes the
most famous being the Amazons and the
feminine armies of Dahomey and Abys-
sinia- They were remarkable for their
feroclty, yielding nothing to masculine
fighters. Young women were severely
trained and habituated to support thirst
and hunger. In the midst of the battle
they hurled this insult at the weak
kneed: You are only q man.
In revolutionary times the military
fever attacked the sex, and many fought
in the trenches. The women of Yer
saiIles formed a legion and declared to
the national assembly that they would
dethrone the tyrants at the point of the
pike. In the last Polish insurrection
women Of the best class disguised them
selves as men and took part in the en-
gagementS.
1t Is thus established that women can
support the fatigues Of war. All the
arguments cannot prevail against the
fact that she has conducted herself val
iantly in battle. Besides, remarks NJ.
Finot, modern war does not make the
same demands upon human endurance
Initiative, presence Of mind, courage,
and other moral conditions are more
necessary than purely brutal force. For
this reason woman can more readily
adopt herself. Woman can contribute to
national defense, and It is unseientihc to
say she cannot.
But. happily, other duties, not less
imperious and not less important. oblige
her to play the role Of mother and
guardian OF the hearth.

the wedding Of Shane Leslie, oldest
son Of Col and Mrs. Leslie. 10 Miss
Marjorie Ide. younger daughter Of the
United States Minister to Spain. is of
important, but II takes place in
America, and Mrs. George Corvallis

The Leslies are the most intimate
friends OF the Duke of Connaught.
Mrs. Leslie Is so much with the Duke

The old superstition about May be-

rush to be married in June, when the
London season is at its height.

will attract many British airmen is

PRINCE GUARDED

Little Prince Of Wales Sees Only
What Chapsrons Think Fit

Paris, June S.-The poor little Prince Of
Wales. whom we all sincerely pity. and
who has been kept virtual prisoner dur
ing his stay in this city, surrounded by
a viEilant army OF guards against the
world, the flesh, and the devil, has now
been sent on a motoring trip through the
southern part OF France, carefully guard
ed.
One of his last excursions in Paris, and
they were few enough, was visit to the
famous Paris markets. As the visit was
made at O'Clock in the morning, a most
dangerous hour OF the day, because an
army of pretty mIdinettes are then on
their way to their work, the innocent
princa was hurried at a rapid pace
through unfrsquented streets to the halls

police, Lepine whose stern features were
considered the best safeguard against an
attempt Of any daring midinstte to hirt
with the future king Of Puritan. England
and who had previously seen TO II that
only dignified and picturesque matrons
were present in the booths which were
! shown to the prince.
As to the present Rutorhobile tour
am told that Il was begun rather earlier
than intended, for the dreadful King Al
phonso Of Spain had threatened to visit
his young relative in Paris and show him
something OF Wnat ne COnhloereQ the
sights Of Paris. 1t would, of course. have
been almost impossible 20 refuse the King
OF Spain permission to take his unkissed
cousin for a ramble through the gay city

think of what might have been the con-
sequences for Alphonso IL reputed to
know every dangerous feminine beauty
IN Paris, and It IL more than doubtful Il
the prince would have been able to re-
sist their powerful charms, remembering
that there must be some trace OF his
royal grandfather's blood in his young
veins
