Exhibits Committee Gets Busy

free and should be encouraged to
exhibit any good products, no matte
whether they are of such quai,y
or prepared in such way that they
would receive recognition at the
hands OF expert judges. While qua
ity should be the first consideration
the size Of the exhibit and the num-
Der OF varieties shown will determin
IFS value to a large extent.
While we all recognize the fact
that the development of the sock
industry means much to the success
CT this locality, we are not able to
make stock as large a feature this
year as will be possible in the fu-
ture. We know, however, that there
is a considerable amount of good
stock on the tract and we believe it
should be possible to make a very
creditable showing in the exhibit of
horses, mules, cattle, hogs and sheep
and poultry. We certainly will not
know what the farmers on the tract
are raising on what can be raised
either in the line OF
AGRICULTURAL exhibits or live stock,
unless representative specimens are
shown in this exhibit. 1t is che de-
sire of this committee to make this
exhibit the best ever shown at Rich
field, and if we are successful we
must have suggestions and ass.stanc
from everyone.
You are assured of assistance, in
the planning and preparation of you
exhibits, from Mr.. Pearson and the |
of this committee, but we
wish it understood that success will
lepend in a large measure upon in
effort.
In order that proper arrangements
nay be made for space and exhibi-
ion facilities the committee must
Know as soon as possible what you
viii contribute. Weurge you especi-
lily to see some member of this
ommittee at the earliest possible
late and list the products which

Dear Sir
The undersigned have been ap-
pointed as a committee to assist in
the preparation of exhibits on Rich
fieeld Day, and also to render any
assistance possible in order that this
day may be made as pleasant and
beneficial as possible. Y GU are no
louDt familiar with former Richfie
Days, what their object was and
now they were handled. While it S
generally recognized that those in
charge did the best they could under
the circumstances, we believe it is
A fact that if Richfield Day is to
serve the purpose in the commun
ity which it was planned to serve, it
should receive the cordial and en-
thusiastic support of every person on
the tract We believe it is possible
10 make this day an occasion VIII ch
will be a source Of such benefit and
pleasure that it will be looked for
ward to with pleasure and anticipa-
ion throughout the year. However,
if this is to be accomplished defi-
mite decision to that effect must be
arrived at and permanent ongani-
1ation effected so that plans can be
made early in the season and ample
lime given in which to work out the
details and make the occasion what
t should be.
We wish it to be distinctly under
stood that this is matter which
should be Of vilal interest to every
one on the tract, and that in our
opinion it cannot be made a success
except through whole-hearted CO.
operation and support 1t is in no
,ense an institution of the town Of
iichfield, the Idaho Irrigation COM
ANY or ony other institution or To-
.ality exclusively. 1t should belong
o the entire community and to all
hose who will benefit either directly
II or indirectly from it. The extent
0 which every one is benefited will
Iepend entirely upon the support
hey give.
The management is more nearly
of the various inter-
SITS On the tract than in 1911 and
912. We believe that in future
ears it should be even more repre-
and for that reason we
eccmmerd a permanent organ'z "a
on.
1t is proposed to repeat the fea-
Tres which have been part Of for
Ter Richfield Days and any others

se in charge, will contribute to the
lccess of the occasion.

1 this ignoble position he was exposed l for specified time to public view and insult. In some eases the nose was slit, the face branded with one or
 were cut off. Many victims died in
 the pillory by being struck with
 stones by the mob. and it was the pleasant custom to peIt all persons
 in the pi1lQry with offal, rotten eggs
 and stale vegetables.
 The punishment of the pilIory was inflicted for a wide variety of
 crimes, including perjury, forgery, liz
 bel, and the use of unjust weights. Women who departed from the con- ventionaI standard of morals were all
 most universally psalSsla6 sE9 %cre
 subjected to the grossest or insults. In
 1915 the pil1ory was abolished in En8
 jury and in 1887, the inhuman instru-
 ment was finally sent to the scrap
 heap. The last who suffered this pun ishment was Peter James Bossy, who,
 on conviction of perjury, was placed l in the pillory at Old Bailey in June,
 1880.
 In the same year that witnessed the
 abolition of the piIlory. 1887, England put into effect many amendments to
 the criminal code, by which the death
 penalty was abolished for all crimes
 except murder, treason, burglary ac-
 
 son, robbery accompanied by any in- jury done by weapon, crimes against
 nature, exhibiting false signals calcu- lated to bring a vessel into danger. burning an inhabited dwelling house, and casting away g. vessel This
 seems an extraordinarily long list, but it marked a great advance over the
 previous statutes, under which no less than 160 offences were punishable by death Among crimes that were con- sidered to merit capital punishment, at the beginning of the last century, were larceny of any amount above twelve pence CA cents); embezzlement of a. masters goods by a servant;
 burning stacks of hay or corn in the night time; killing domestic animals; breaking away the banks of fish ponds; cutting down bearing trees in an or chard: the malicious tearing Or de- facing of the garments of person
 passing in the street; all of which and various other acts of no greater
 degree of crininality, were punishable by the extreme penalty.
 Until within the last century cr1m- inaI laws in all countries provided pen alties that were frankly vengeful, as well as designed to be preventive. The death penalty for trivial crimes was
 usually imposed because of the greaC
 prevalence of a particular grievance in some locality, and, according to the mode of reasoning then in vogue, ttla freouency of an evil called for in
 creased severity of punishment. Per haps the same method of reasoning
 may be responsible for the fact that a
 Georgia lad of ten years was sent to
 fta ~eforrnatory for eleven years on
 conviction of stealing a fye-cent pot tie of soda water-a case that mas lteIv excited much comment in the press.
