,ssrc,AL coRRtspoHoENeE TO MORNING JOURNAL
Roswell n NJ, Aug. 21.-Judge G..
Richardson of this city is out with
a suggestion that the best of all the
oonntv exhibits al the state fair at Al
buquergue be combined into one large
avhibit and taken TO the New Mex
leo building at san Diego for the rest
If the year. He is also warm IN his
communication of the state fair mana
GERS i'm their efforts to make the f. n
an Albuquerque a real state fair, ard
believes Chaves county made mis-
tate i'm not making the appropriation
81 900 instead of $500.
County Competition Good
Discussing his ideas along this Inc
be said today
"UnQuestonably it's a fine thing toy
fine state and for the counties involved
40 take part i'm the state fair and make
a. as the state fair commission is en-
dea,ormg to do real state fair and
ms was contemplated by the legisla-
lure OF New Mexico at its first ses-
sion
N think that the imperial county
of Chaves. however should have dou-
bled the amount of money for this
exhibit which she gave, and instead
of $500 should have given $1,000
So stated to those who spoke to me
regarding it before the appropriation
was made l happened to be in Eddy
county on official matters at the time
the matter came up formally, and at
the time of the visit of Mr.. Putney
and others TO Chaves county and
therefore was not able TO be present
at the time when the matter came up
for consideration or l would have
urged $1,000 as a minimum for the
purposes intended
viii BE Competition.
There undoubtedly will be consid-
cradle competition among the coun-
Ties Of New Mexico to have the very
best exhibit possible at Albuquerque.
OF course, our Chayes county exhibit
is to be placed in position at the Live
stock and Products exposition at Ros-
wen on the Attn of october. This Is
am excellent idea and makes it a
home matter in that respect and then
broadens the opportunity by later
making il "a state matter.
"It occurs to me that, carrying out
the general plan and scheme of wider
scope of display and advertising, il
MONlQ ne an tAtNll'hl thAhh w Niii Wv
AIN of these exhibits at the conclusion
of the state fair at Albuquerque into
one large exhibit and send it forward
as New Mexico's contribution to the
display at san Diego Calf, and have
II displayed there in our New Mex
leo building, which is to be known
hereafter as the Cathedral of the
Desert
at is not matter Of winning prizes
now. The prize which such an exhibit
would likely win, at San Diego, would
not be Of those temporary personal
prizes but would be the prize OF
showing to the world the splendid
products, agricultural and horticul-
Wral. of New Mexico. The New Mex
leo commission at san Diego has been
doing already a great work, and TINS
movement would assist in holding up
their hands and supporting and and
ing the splendid work which that
commission has already accomplished
for New Mexico. Why shouldn't 1t be
done?
'It is not so much OF winning
prizes ais it is of performing a duty
splendidly and completely which We
owe to our beloved commonwealth
The great county Of Dona Ana has
responded in fine spirit in making her
appropriation 81, 600 for her county
exhibit at the state fair 1t might pc
observed that the county of Dona ANA
in these days is doing great things loi
her people and for the state.
