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.

ton congress. The state fair exhibit
this year is now certain to exceed that
exhibit both in size and character OF
the exhibits.

during the time representatives of Ha.

to work win George r. Carter and
others who were in WashiP gton but
that they preferred to work .ndepend-
emily of him.

THE CITY MANAGER PLAN

The achievements OF Dayton have
been brought about with such dispatch
only because authority and responsi-
bility for the efficient operation of all
the city departments are centered iH
one individual. He in turn demands
that his departmental heads produce
results or else make way for men who
can do so. Experience points against
the probability of so gratifying re.
suit under the Federal or commission
plans, with their Checks and bal
ances" and dissemination Of authority
and responsibility. 1t is believed that
a critical and unbiased observer apply
ing any recognized tests to this ex-
pertinent in city government would
find in few municipalities in the coun-
try such a degree of efficiency in pub
lie business, such a keen interest in
social and public problems, as is to-
day found in the city of Dayton
