GREATNESS OF
THE STATE FAIR
OF ARKANSAS
Annual Exhibition at Hot Springs is
One of the Best in the
Southwest.

The people of Arkansas do not APP
preciate the greatness and magnitude
of TIE Arkansas State Fair at Hot
Springs Here within the past few
years has been built up one of the
strongest and most permanent insti-
tutions Of the kind in the Southwest.
, TIE Arkansas State Fair is in a
class with other fairs of surrounding
stat as that have been financed by
thousands of dollars of state money.
Up to this time not dollar has been
appropriated by the State for the
Arkansas State Fair.
This great reflector of Arkansas
progress and advancement = this
show window of the State of Arkan-
sas-this great educator in the in
dustrial affairs of Arkansas people
has in a few years taken its place
among the greatest state fairs of the
country.
This is due to several influences.
First, Hot Springs Is the natural
location of a great institution like
the Arkansas State Fair. The great
est health and pleasure resort in the
world, the people from all sections
of the United States, and from for
eign countries. make an annual pill
grimage to Hot Springs, and the city
Is usually full of visitors during the
fall season when the State Fair oc-
ours These visitors from state and
nation find here the finest, most ex-
pensive and best appointed fair
grounds in the country-beautiful
Oaklawn park, with its splendid race
course, known to every horseman in
the country, and it's magnificent and
modernly appointed buildings, all
whiting easy access from the bust
ness section.
The State Fair of Arkansas has
come to be a permanent reality
with its half million dollar grounds
and is a reflection of the enterprise
and progress of our people, as well
as the physical and financial re-
sources of the State. The 1912 ex-
hibition, November Ills, inclusive
will be the greatest in the history OF
the fair, and will eclipse all previous
records.
This year nearly every county OF
the state will have a collective ex-
hibit at the fair, and a person by
visiting the different county exhibits
will be able to gain an idea of the
productive possibilities of each
county, their soil characteristics
their people, and even their homes
all these are reflected in the great
state Fair of Arkansas The fair
emphasizes the progress and mirrors
like a great show window the mar
velous achievements of great peo-
pie.
The management of the Arkansas
State Fair, assured of the encourage
ment and patronage of the people
in building at Hot Springs a State
Fair that shall stand among the
greatest In the union, will not dis
appoint single visitor during the
week of November II to 16, and the
exhibit should be visited by every
resident of the state who can posi-
bly, make arrangements to come.

MODERN MILES sTANDIsH
Governor Hadley of Missouri in the
Role of John Alden

This fight is not for me. l am not
fighting for my own election, but for
a principle SO, or, at least, in words
to that effect, spoke Colonel Roose
welt in his midnight speech to his del
esates in Chicago hotel.
For what principle was the colonel
fighting! Apparently for the prince
pie that Theodore Roosevelt must be
the perpetual president of the United
States.
Late in the afternoon preceding his
revolutionary harangue the colonel
sat in his room in the Congress hotel
and listened through modern appl.-
ance to the proceedings in the con
vention hall.
Governor Hadley, one of his stalwart
leaders, as the best man to nominate
Then he heard few more giving vent
to the same cry. Then he heard pan
demonium breaking loose. Cries for
Hadley came from every part of the
hall and in fe wminutes the conven-
tion bade fair to stampede itself auto
maticaIly for Hadley.
Hadley was playing John Alden to
Roosevelt's Miles Standish and the
latter-day Staniish began to fear that
the latter-day Alden was finding per
sonal favor with the convention Pris-
cillas.
He was fighting for principle and
Hadley represented that principle as
much as he, himself, did. But was
he content to let the principle be
worked out through the agency of an
other candidate? Not for one minute.
The colonel requested Governor Had
ley to withdraw from the stage, re
quest with which that loyal and honest
leader complied. The Roosevelt leader
then etforted to turn the tide by
trick. A girl in the gallery sprang up
and waved picture of the colonel.
The convention, its nerves on edges,
responded, and Hadley was forgotten.
The only principle for which Roose-
welt is fighting is the principle of self
advancement. He cares nothing for
morals or principles. His action in
demanding the spot light to the exclu-
sion of his comrades in the fight
shows the real purpose and spirit of
his struggle. 1t is for Theodore Roose-
welt, first, last, and all the time

Lindsey, who was nominated by his
court bailiff for kid judge at demo-
cratic convention in Denver last April
and who was vouched for by Officer
Phillips as good democrat as was

more, no less. Then he ran as citi-
zens' candidate and now he is in Chi

he wasn't in such form that the roller

CONFIRMED PROOF
Residents of Glenwood Cannot Doubt
What Has Been Twice Proved

In gratitude for complete relief from
aches and pains of bad backs-from dis
tressing kidney ills-thousands have
publicly recommended Doan's Kidney
Pills. Residents of this vicinity who So
testified years ago, now say their cures
were permanent. This testimony dou-
bly, proves the worth of Doan's Kidney
Pills to Glenwood Springs kidney suf-
ferers.
Mrs. Mary J. Boland, 62O E. Fifth
street, Leadville, Colo, says: "My
opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills as was
publicly expressed by ME in November,
1906, remains unchanged. I know they
are a valuable remedy and consequently
l do not hesitate to recommend them
to other kidney sufferers. From ex-
perience 1 have learned that Doan s
Kidney Pills never fail to bring
prompt and thorough relief from back
aches and other kidney disorders. /

two and half years ago and the cure
it effected at that time has been uer-
manent.'

TO INVESTIGATE NEW LAWS

Every livestock and agricultural Or
ganiZation in the state Is invited to
take part in state agricultural con-
vention to be held in Glenwood
Springs, July 1924. The principal OBJ
ject of the convention is to look into
the proposed new laws that will be
submitted to vote of the people next
fall. Farmers and stockmen have Il
vital interest in a number of these
laws and the plan is to make the ag
ricultural interests familiar with the
facts regarding them so that they can
vote intelligently. The Colorado
Stockgrowers' association will hold
its Midsummer convention at this
time and the Farmers Union is plan
ming for its district convention at the
same time. The railroads have made
special rates and it is expected that
there will be large attendance from
all parts of the state. Incidentally
there will be more or less politics de-
veloped as the state political conven-
tiOns will be held only a week or two
after the Glenwood meeting.

FARMERS AT aLENwooD
Meeting May Result in More Concerted
Action at Fall Primaries

The State Agricultural convention
at Glenwood Springs, July 1924, will
bring together the representative farm
ers and stockmen of the state at
time when both of the political parties
are getting ready for their conven-
tions. Naturally there will be more or
less canvassing of the situation and as
this will present an unusually fine
opportunity to feel out the political
sentiment of the agricultural vote,
there will undoubtedly be many poll
ticians and candidates present. There
seems to be disposition on the part
of the agricultural community to act
together regardless of political parties,
and as the direct primary provides a
splendid opportunity to select candi-
dates on both tickets the GlenwoOd
meeting will undoubtedly provide an
opportunity to caucus on the situation
and quietly discuss candidates. The
convention itself will not take up this
part of the situation. but will confine
its work to consideration of the new
laws proposed under the initiative and
referendum. The meeting will be full
of interest and there should be a good
attendance from this section. The
railroads have made special low rates.

HARD-WoRKING SWISS DOGS
They Are Used az Draft Animate
and Are Not Always Well
Treated.

An amended law for the prevention
of cruelty to animals. such as thai
which came into force in England on
New Years day. is much needed in
Switzerland. Not that the Swiss as
nation are cruel to animals, one OF
the best proofs of which is the mum,
ber Of sleek cats about. For when
people have learned to be kind to cats
they have generally learned to BE-
fairly kind to animals in general,
But whether from thoughtlessness OF
to be desired in the way draft doga
are treated in Switzerland. Dogs, as
every visitor to the country must
have observed, are still employed
there for drawing or helping to draw
all kinds OF light carts. Most milk.
men and bakers employ dogs when
taking around milk or bread. Butch,
ers and vegetable fruit sellers also
use them. These dogs are, Of course
ent breeds, those most commonly EN-.
ployed being Of the St Bernard OF
mastiff race. On a market day the
streets Of Berne are full Of them.
AS rule they do not look Ill fed and
their harness fits them well. Never
theless, 1t is evident that they are
often hard worked. for they may be
seen lying stretched full length asleep
on the cold. wet ground, or even on
the snow, and this. after they have
been heated by the exertion OF pull
ing, frequently causes pneumonia OF
rheumatism.-Pall Mall Gazette.

lazinese.

Persons may share the common
complaint of laziness without any ap-
probation of how far 1t is responsible
for the saddest cases Of mental and
moral disintegration. Laziness is real.
ly the key to a large share of what
passes for lack of balance and perhaps
for insanity. 1t takes hold in the
schoolroom where pupils slight the
work they most need because they
like 1t least. Having shirked the
studies which would have done most
to balance their mentalities, they pro-
ceed to emphasize this lopsidednesa
by refraining from every line of en-.
deavor which is not to their liking.
They find a hundred excuses for do
ing SO, but nearly always their excuses
are not reasons. They do only what
they like until finally they do not like
doing that. Then they drift and re-
gret that the ravens of today are not
as active In their charities as In the
days of Elijah.

special matters of Legislative import
auce that will come before our conven-

DENVER JOBBING INTERESTS
HARD HIT BY NEW RATE

Denver, July New freight rates
under the recent decision of the inter
state commerce commission in tine
Grand Junction rate case We're put
into effect today by the Colorado NJ d
land and Rio Grande railroads.
Officials of the companies and Den
yer jobbers do not hesitate to say that
condition has arisen which threatens
the very life of the iobbing industry
in Denver, Colorado Springs and Pu-
eblo.
A meeting of jobbers, manufactur-
ers' agents and railroad officials was
held in the Equitable building late
Saturday afternoon at which ways
and means of preventing crisis aris-
ing out of these changes was discussed.
The jobbing interests want the rail
roads to make reductions in local
rates to the western slope which will
offset the advantages gained by the
Kansas City and st. Louis jobbers
under the orders of the commission,
This, the railroads say, they are un.
able to do.
The decision in the Grand Junction
case was under what Is known as the
long and short haul clause of the new
interstate commerce acts. This clause
provides that freight shall not bear a
h;2h,r 70 ,hp bop nj han for
long haul. Under that law the
Grand Junction shippers asked the
commission to order in rates which did
not exceed the rates to Salt Lake City
The commission granted the request
and the new tariffs were announced
today.
The rates from Missouri river to
Grand Junction and Salt Lake City
which went into effect today are as
follows. First class, $l.9O per 100;
second class, $l62; third class, SLAP;
fourth class $1l9 and fifth class, 9S
cents.
The old rates from Missouri river to
Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo
which remain the same, are as fol
lows. First class, $l.25 per 100; second
class, 81; third class, 80 cents; fourth
class, IS cents, and fifth class 80
cents. The local rates from Denver,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo to Grand
Junction, which remain unchanged, are
as follows: First class, $l.40 per 100;
second class, $l.25; third class, $IlO;
fourth class, 10 cents, and fifth class,
60 cents.
The revolutionary nature of the
changes effected by the interstate
commerce commission is shown by the
fact that the first class rate from
Missouri river to Grand Junction be
comes $l.9O per hundred pounds, while
the through rate from Missouri river
to Grand Junction on shipments which
are broken at Colorado points remains
at $2.65 per hundred pounds.
This means that Missouri river
cities will supply all the western slope
in competition with Denver unless
something is done to change the condi'
ton. The local railroads say they are
not in a position to make sweeping
reductions in local rates and as re-
suit the jobbing interests of Denver
are today completely at sea.

Western slope newspapers are pub

The rates should be reasonable but
should be insisted upon. Editors should
not blow other men g horns free gratis
for nothing. We note that Thomas W.
Lawson Of Boston isn't asking the
papers Of Massachusetts, to boost him
for senator. He simply takes a page
space, writes his own announcements
and pays the publisher the usual price.
