HOW SPEECH CHANGES.

stripped OF the endings which once
characterized different parts of speech

Second Edition Of Premium Book
Necessary This Year.

Albuquerque.-For the first time in
the history Of the New Mexico state
fair at Albuquerque. a second edition
of the fair premium book has been
made necessary. The premium books
were Issued early this year. The lists
carry a total Of more than $4,000 in
cash prizes for agricultural and live
stock displays alone. and with the

ranch, the demand from prospective
exhibitors has been enormous. Tho
new edition is now being printed and
Secretary Tom Binkert at Albuquer-
que announces that those who desire
the book should make application at
once.
The fair commission is gratified at
the statewide spirit of cooperation
shown this year. Every section Of the
state is showing lively interest in the
success of the fair and especially In
the exhibit departments. Fourteen
county and local fairs to date have
fixed their fair dates Just prior to the
state fair, Oct. to 10, SO that the
pick of exhibits At the local fairs may
be taken to the state exposition. and
the number of individual exhibits will
be double that of any previous year.
The largest agricultural exhibit ever
held In the state was at Albuquerque
in connection with the national irriga-
tion congress. The state fair exhibit
this year is now certain to exceed that
