FAIR PATRONAGE
AT LOWEST EBB
PEOPLE ARE SAVING THEIR
CHANGE FOR THE LARGER
EXPOSITIONS
Optimism and Cooperation must OBJ
tain to Get the Proper Results,
Says Mr.. Arney


receiving the patronage this year they
did last or the patronage they deserve.
It is certain to me that the Panama
Pacific exposition is one reason for
this, in that many are economizing
for the bigger event, at the expense
of the smaller ones," said c. E. Arney,
WESTERN immigration and industrial
agent of the Northern Pacific, who was
in Moscow today on his way to attend
the Kendrick fair.
at is clear to me that the exhibits
and the live stock at western fairs
this year are superior in quality to
previous years and that the devotion
of fair promoters and of raisers of ex-
hibit material and live stock, to the
principle of making the annual ex-
hibitions, is steadily increasing. Fair
organizations are bound to experience
unusual difficulty in making satisfac-
tory financial statements as to their
stewardship, on account of this de
crease in attendance. 1t should not
discourage them, however, for the idea
is SO closely interviewer with the
general development plan of railways,
federal agents and state colleges that
the county, district and state fair must
be maintained.
9sThe great new west is undergoing
that readjustment experience which
constitutes the history of all new
countries We must cope with it, as
have our eastern and elder brothers.
1t is certain that in many western 10
calities, land values have been too
high. It is equally true that in sec
tions, certain industries have been
overdone, and some more practical IN
dustries left undone. Time, expert
ence, and a smart infusion OF new
blood, will soon correct these defic-
iencies in the greater development
plan, and while this is going on, those
who are here must adjust themselves
patiently to the waiting which the re-
adjustment requires.
"In our immigration endeavor, we
have extraordinary opportunity to op-
serve the shifting of prices and the
lack of efficiency in agricultural ac-
complishment. 1t is not dlscouraglng
us to the point of any contemplated
change of system. We are pursuing
our campaign for greater diversity OF
crops, more and better live stock,
smaller farm units and better farm
ing; all of which require more settl-
ers. and while we would enthuse more
now, were results coming along fas-
ter, we keep up the same system OF
talking immigration personally
throughout the more fertile fields for
immigration, showing the products Oh
the soil to the intended settler al
eastern fairs, landshows and in two
dozen or more eastern ticket office
windows, and distributing literature
where information is sought; and IN
the aggregate we are satlsfled WIN
results, because our return is certain,
in that we are doing things which are
sure to make more money for those
who we are bringing into these new
fields of activity along Northern Pa
ciflc territory.
1--WE hope that organizations for I'M
proved conditions in each community
will join us in a spirit OF optimism,
that a better grade of cooperation
may obtain

GOT THE MESSAGE TWISTED
Jenkins Believed in Brevity, and All
That Kind of Thing, but he Had
a Sad Awakening.

Jenkins wife was away on a visit.
Now, jenkins was a very busy man.
He believed not in lengthy communi-
cations. In letter-writing, brevity
was the synonym for excellence.
He loved his wife devotedly, enjoyed
hearing from her often, and always
devoured her brief letters with the
keen appetite of an enthusiastic lover.
But to wade through a long. drawn
out letter of 16 pages was to him an
utter waste of time and eyesight.
So one day his heart danced with
delight at the receipt OF the follow
ing from her Ca perfect gem of a thing
so short and sweet-so to the
point):

Lydia, appalled,. She began to edge
toward the door.
BY a mighty effort, Brood regained

chair, motioning for her to remain.
The music had ceased abruptly.
He will be here in a moment" said
Brood. Don't CO."
Suddenly he arose and confronted
the serene image of the Buddha. For
a full minute he stood there with his
hands clasped, his lips moving as if
in prayer. No sound came from them.
The girl remained transfixed, power
less to move. Not until he turned to-
broken. Then she came quickly to his
side. He had pronounced her name.

to the defense of Frederic.
