FARMERS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC
 ABOUT FAIR
AT MEETING YESTERDAY MANY GOOD EXHIBITS ARE
 PROMISED.

With several men in attendance, the results of the session. meet ing of the farmers of the vicinity of Fairbanks was Leld yesterday after noon in the commissioners court room. It was presided over by r. J. RiCkert who. as committee of one. had been appointed by the eXecu- tive committee of the Fairbanks Commercial club 10 see what could be done twoard the securing of exhibits for the Tanana Valley Fair, which is to be held here on Sep tembel and S.
 The ranchers were all in favor of an exhibit, all promising to do their utmost to make the fair a success Among those promising eX- hibits were Harry Buzby, T. Ton seth V Matetich, John Grenas. Hen ry Hanford, Joe Grljevic, w. P. Bor- den and Charles DesJardin
 It is also expected that a number of the gardeners of the city will take space in the exhibit. The farmers most distant from town will probably bring in more samples of potatoes and grain than of any other product while the gardeners will supply the exhibit with the smaller vegetables. It was pointed out that in many in stances, the vegetables and grain have been ruined by the high water and the cloudy weather, but, accord ing to the sentiment expressed by the ranchers, those troubles will not interefere materially with the fair.
 Among other things discussed by the ranchers yesterday was the pro- position of organization. This was brought before them a year ago i but at that time some of them could not see that organization was i the right thing for the protection of their interests. Now there are men among them who fought organ i zation last year who are for it now and it is therefore probable that within the near future, it will take place.
 IL is expected that the reorgani- zaton of the farmers will be per i fected next Sunday afternoon. when another meeting is to be held in the i Commissioners courtroom at 2:3C o'clock.

Liberty Bell Crack
 Wider and Longer

PHILADELPHIA.-F iron jacks have been placed under the Liberty Bell to relieve the tension on the supporting structure and to prevent the enlargement of the crack which threatens serious damage to the his toric metal.
 Each jack has supporting capac- ity of four tons and heavy felt pads have been inserted between them and the bell so that it will not be jared by the slightest tremor. The iron supports have been put inside the glass. case which incloses the bell.
 City officials who are intrusted with the care of the bell are alarmed at the continual progress of the Assure Microscopic examinations and mathematically exact measurements establish the fact that the smaller crack, proceeding from the top of the larger opening, steadily has in creased in length until it now eX- tends diagonally around about one quarter of the bells circumference. A gradual widening of the larger crack also has been observed.
