 Credit to Bedding and Waters.
 While each and every official and director of the Arkansas State Fair did his duty and did 1t we'll, yet on every hand is heard the statement that the major portion of the credit for the success of the State Fair Is l due to Secretary George R. Bedding For months Mir. Bedding has given his entire time to the building up and development of the big exposi. lion which has just closed. For weeks he has kept up this strenuous work only under the care of phy. sieian. During State Fair week ha was constantly under the care of a l physician, but the work of fair never Jagged. Every detail was carried out with almost cloclrlike precision m. til the final curtain was rung down on the fair at midnight last night. | In this connection the work of l President Waters must not be for. gotten or overlooked. MT. Waters has been one of the zealous workers, not only this year but every year since the State Fair was organized This year President Waters has been on the job every minute and has con. tributed largely to the success of the fair. No officer or director has been more 2ealous in their work and none have taken more pride in making the fair a success, The other officers and directors have fulfilled every ob ligation to the fair and more, and therein lies the result which was oA, tained.
 Excellent Street Car Service.
 Only a few weeks ago the plan. of the public utilities company was destroyed by fire Since the confla grafton the company has by hercn lean efforts provided a temporary power plant which has been supply. 1 ing stret car and lighting service There was apprehension however that the heavy tax of State Fair traf fife would overburden the temporary plant, which at this time is operated l by a single turbine
 Once more the people of Hot Springs must doff their hats to the public utilities, to General superin tendent Dillon. to w. A. Haller, gen eral superintendent and chief en gineer, to the engineers in change oi the temporary plant to Superinten dent Joe Bntterfield, and 70 the motorman. who by their skillfal handling of the cars and the conser yation of power every moment oi State Fair week, enabled the biz State Fair crowds to be handled win ont hitch. hindrance or delay Not once did the cars stop. and not once did the single turbine falter in its work, night or day. Nursed ant watched by the engine crew, aided by the careful spacing of cars and by tn skill of the motormen, this single turbine ran steadily every moment kept the cars moving, supplied tho lights for the city and State Fail grounds, and only to those who were familiar with the actual conditions was it known on what slender thread hung the entire street car ant lighting service.
 When the success of the State Fail is considered these men must be re membered as contributing one of the first great essentials to it's success light and transportation. How wei they did their work the final result shows
 The motto cf the public utilities Service, That's What Counts" was never more completely demonstrated than during the past week.
 s. E. Dillon states that the new power plant will be completed about December l, and that from that time forward there will be reserve ma. ohinery for supplying power that will do away with any doubt as to con tinuous service.
 Awards on the Booths.
 The awarding of the prizes for the best booths in Exposition palace, one of the chief events of the fair, was delayed two days on account of the keen rivalry in the displays. The judges found extreme difficulty 9n making Inc award for the best booth in the building, the competition be. tween Dufies, the Jones House Fur nishing company, and Rush Brothers being so close that every detail of these splendid booths had to he ex. amined and passed on before the final award was made
 Duties finally won first honors. but the judges made honorable mention of the Jones and Rush Bros boo hs and asked that they be given esDe- cial credit for the splendid showing made
 Following are the awards as an nounced Saturday morning by the iudges
