States senator, and also as hav-
ing expressed the opinion that
Mr.. Marshall could not be elected.
and much more to the same gem
eral effect.
Ordinarily, l pay no attention
to political dope of this kind, and
perhaps it would be just as we'll
had paid no attention to the Civ
ling out of this correspondent.
However, l will say this much: /
have never expressed any opinion
as to whether Mr.. Marshall can
or cannot defeat McCumber for
the United States senate. am
not strongly or otherwise advo-
eating Speaker Hanson for the
senatorship. l have never had any
communication with Mr.. Hanson
upon the subject of politics or
upon any other subject either di-
'rectly or indirectly. In fact have
no personal acquaintance with
Mr.. Hanson.
This writer further states that
/ switched from insurgentism to
hullmooseism, and that therefore
the insurgents are not inclined to
accept me as a leader, etc. Meth
rr the insurgents nor any politi-
cal faction have been invited to
accept me as a leader as l am
content to lead myself and permit
Others to do the same. 1t is quite
apparent, however. that your cor
respondent did not turn to bull
mooseism. That movement was
not specially promising in the
matter of the spoils of office, and
therefore it had no attraction for'
such men as this writer and Of
flee holder from Bismarck. This
correspondent, like some others,
has heretofore assumed promi-
nent part i'm insurgentism and
progressiveism, but his political /,
convictions have never prevented
him from striking hands with the
stalwarts when there were Off
ces to be distributed.
Just now all my time is taken
up with. my professional work.
HOweer like most of the voters oil
the state, l have some views as
to the kind of a man who would
best represent North Dakota in
the United States senate and when
the proper time comes l shall |
probably take occasion to express
my individual views on the sub
ject. The purpose of the writer of
this article (his identity is we'll
known is evidently to prevent
the candidacy of a real progress
sive and ii line up the progress
slve voters in support of stall
wart candidate in whise interest
he has been diligently laboring
for many months. and at whose
hands he expects political favors
i'm the future.
At the last presidential election
the progressives polled about &c.
900 votes while the stalwarts
polled $4,000 votes. We imagine,
that this office holding and Office
seeking correspondent from Bis
marck will find that he has big
job on his hands when he UNDER
takes to transfer these 26,O00|
progressive voters into the politi-
cal camp of a stalwart candidate
for senator.
AS to whether Mr.. Marshall will
or will not be candidate for
United States Senator, l do not
know. but | do know that the last
time he was before the voters oil
this state as candidate for pub
lie Office was i'm 1912, when he
was elected national committee
man and i'm that contest he de-
feated his opponent, Mr.. Cooper.
by a majority of nearly $4,000.

Machinery
Exhibits At
The State Fair

One Of the most interesting depart
ments Of the State Fair at Hutchin-
son Is the exhibit of farm implements
and machinery. The manufacturer
who exhibits his wares at the State
Fair not only does so for the purpose
Of making sales and advertising his
goods, but he discloses the fact that
he confidently believes in his own pro-
duction. He thinks that the article
or articles he presents to the public
have no superior. He fears no COM
petition and asks the world to come
on and see what he has to offer The
farmers of Kansas are up-to-date and
know a good thing when they see 1t.
They are looking out also for the lat
est improvements in all lines Of ma
chinery. Consequently 1t is a mutual
matter between the manufacturer and
farmer, producer and user. The State
Fair simply provides the medium. To
see it at the Fair means something for
both the manufacturer and the farm

DR.. Crumbine
Adds Interest

DR.. S. ]. Crumbine, Secretary of the
State Board OF Health, will be pres
ent at least two days during the State
Fair at Hutchinson to attend the Bet
ter Babies Contest. He will deliver
two or more lectures on subjects OF
especial interest to mothers. He will
have charts and statistical tables and
pictures illustrative of his work in the
state of Kansas. A few years ago the
State Board Of Health was of compar'
ativevly small importance, but under
the leadership OF DR.. Crumbine 1t Is
now one of the big departments OF
the state and no state has more pop
ular department of the kind. DR..
Crumbine's work of course is of i'm
portance to every citizen, young or
old, of either sex.

All Can Afford
To Attend
State Fair

Every farmer and every other bust
nessman can well afford to knock off
a day or two and attend the State
Fair at Hutchinson. There is no place
where he can see so much and have
such a good time, and also see some
thing of the educational features. PEG.
pc get tired of trying to learn all the
time and then again most peOpe know
better than they do. Or another way
of putting it, is that they do not do
as well as they know. OF Course a
State Fair inspires one to attempt
greater things, better and easier
methods, and few days spent at the
Fair impels one even unconsciously to
say deep down in himself that he is
going to do more and do 1t easier and
better.
To stay on the farm continuously
becomes more or less irksome. A
man gets away from the farm more
frequently than do the women and
children. For this reason it is fair to
give the whole family an outing. Any.
one so disposed can procure a tent
and find camping room ON the ground.
The Iowa State Fair has five or six
thousand such attendants every year.
People drive to the State Fair of
Iowa from all parts Of the state, and
we invite Kansans to do the same.
Let the women and children have the
advantage OF a few days away from
the sameness of the work and the
continuance of the grind on the farm.
We would be glad to have anyone
who may peruse these lines to try 4
once and see If they will not be SC
pleased that it will become an An.
nual occurrence, conditions permit
ting. 1t is good for the girls and good
for the boys to get out and see other
people; how they do and how they
dress, and have a thousand texts for
conversation after the State Fair Is
over.

Are
Protected At
The State Fair

For some years it has been the pol
icy of the State Fair Management at
Hutchinson to compe all restaurants
and eating places about the grounds
to pace up in plain sight the prices
that they propose to charge for meals,
or If short order, the price of each ar
ticle. This is done to protect people
from being imposed upon. 1t is well
for anyone at any time anywhere to
ascertain the price of an article be,
fore buying it. This rule is especial.
ly to be followed at great meetings
such as State Fairs, where occasion
ally some shark or faker will take ad-
vantage of the credulOus and truthful
The prices for all meals will be up In
all places In plain sight and all people
are advised to observe them and at
all times protect themselves against
some possible violator of the rules Of
the State Fair management A little
precaution is always wise. No Fair
was ever freer from this class of
rogues, however, than the State Fair
at Hutchinson, because the manage
ment will absolutely not tolerate an
imposition on the visitors of the State
Fair.

County Exhibits
at the State Fair

One Of the most interesting features
OF the Kansas State Fair at Hutchin,
son, is the exhibits made by the vart,
GUS counties Of the state. A number
OF counties have already applied for
space this year, among which Is Allen,
Jewell, Harper, Seward, Morton, Rice
Pawnee, Harper Lyon, and in addition,
a number of Commercial Clubs prof.
pose to exhibit the products of their
respective communities. There is no
way to popularize county or com.
munlty more than by making these ex'
hibits at the State Fair.
The law provides that a county can
spend any sum under $500 to make an
exhibit at the State Fair. This law il
entirely equitable because it distrib'
utes the expense Of boosting the In
ducements offered by the county By
showing its products and resources
upon all alike whether resident on
nonresident citizens. The expense
amounts to but few cents to each in
dividual, and still the aggregate Is sut-
ficient to permit the county to make
a most creditable display. Every citi
zen, old or young, will think more of
his locality after seeing it so credit
ably represented We all love our
state but we would not were 1t not
for the community in which we have
our homes. Every county has a COM
mercial club or similar organization
that can start the agitation for a
county display and suggest one on
more of the citizens to take charge OF
same under the guidance of the
Board Of County Commissioners. OF
course a fine display can be made
without expanding the maximum
amount allowed by the law. II any
reader should desire authority foD
this statement, turn to Chapter 29S,
of the Session laws of 1918 and read
section eight. Eventually this will be
one of the great features of the State
Fair, as it is in Texas and Oklahoma.

Domestic Art
And Science

Last year there were over LOO en-
tries in the textile fabrics department
at the State Fair at Hutchinson. Many
visitors we're surprised to know the
value of even some of the smaller
pieces. The finest needlework In the
Domestic Are Department Of the Kan
sas State Fair is seen as we'll as the
more fancy stunts that are done with
the needle or hook.
Everything in the Domestic Science
department is something for the table.
See the display of good things to eat.
The best on earth because nobody can
beat the Kansas women in making
good things to eat. Still, probably
every woman can learn something by
studying the exhibits in the domestic
science department.
These two departments are repre-.
sentative of the work Of women. Ev.
cry girl should have special training
In them in our great educational insti
tutlons They will be better fitted
for their particular work In the world
The State Fair helps.

Good Order
at State Fair

We will place the crowd that at"
tends the Kansas State Fair at Hutch
inson against any similar numbered
crowd in the world for good order, It
seems almost incredible and still 1t Is
a fact that there has not been a hair
dozen arrests made on the State Far
Grounds during the last fourteen years
for disorderly conduct. The people
attend the State Fair for educational
purposes and it seems that each and
every one treats his neighbor cUutre-
ously and with the very best of good
manners. This, of course, Is largely
the result of the police Of the State
Fair which permits no gambling, no
unchaste shows and no traffic in
liquor. Kansas people at the Kansas
State Fair are absolutely without
question the best hammered, best be.
haved on the continent. This is one
of the reasons why 1t is such fine
pace for children to learn and get
ideals of lasting value.

A True Incident

There are some people who pretend
to be opposed to certain phases of a
Fair. AS, for instance, there are some
men, and possibly few women, who
think horse racing Is wrong; or, this,
that or the other thing Is wrong from
a moral or religious standpoint. Most
of these, however, are like an old
gentleman from Rice County, who was
attending the State Fair at Hutchin-
son two years ago. He was not so
much opposed to the fair that he
would not attend; but, as a matter OF
fact, believed strongly In the educa-
tional features of good fair. He had
tTudged around all the forenoon with
his family enjoying the livestock ex-
hibits and agricultural displays, and
even the exhibits in the Liberal Arts
building. They all gathered together
for lunch and the daughter said:
well, Father, we must al go to the
races. We know you are SO tired-it
will rest you to go up In the grand
stand and sit down and visit with US
anyhow, and you do not need to take
part In the racing necessarily"
"Well, | am pretty tired" said the
old gentleman, Il guess l will go with
you where | can have a good seal"
So they all went to the grandstand
and secured good location and lis
tened to the band playing magnificent
music. On came the beautiful horses,
bred for speed and trained for the
work. The first heat proved to be ex-
citing The old gentleman, along with
the others Of his family, watched the
race from its start and round the
track and in front of the stand and
round again. Just about the time OF
the finish, which was evidently going
to be very close. in its excitement
the audience began to rise. very much
to the disgust of the old gentleman
who cried out: "Sir down! Sit
down! Don't you suppose anybody
else wants to see?"

New Sewer
At State Fair
Grounds

The legislature appropriated $4,000
for building a sewer on the State Fair
Grounds at Hutchinson. This work
is going on now and will be
ready for use during the State Fair.
Ample toilets are placed at each end
of the grandstand 80 arranged as to
be entered by those in the grand
stand and others to accommodate
those on the outside. other facilities
will be provided on different parts Of
the grounds. This is regarded as one
Of the best Improvements. that has
ever been made on the grounds. The
city water works provides the de-
sired quantity of water for drinking
and other purposes, but after all the
installation of a sanitary sewer and
toilet system is one that will be most
likely appreciated by the visitors OF
the State Fair.

$4,000 Autos

There are $4,000 automobiles within
rs miles OF Hutchinson. The roads
OF Kansas are usually fair and partic-
ularly so during the month OF Septem-
Der. 1t is a lovely drive even for
distance of rs miles, which can De
made in good car in less than three
hours. It is no trick at all to be OH
for the State Fair by six O'Clock In
the morning and arrive at the state
Fair Grounds at nine in time to see
the Judging in the livestock and other
departments.
Upon arriving at the grounds the
autos are parked and the grounds po-
Iced There have been times When
over 5000 automobiles were on the
grounds and no case of theft or depre-
dation of any kind has ever been re-
ported. Were 1t not for the expense
of taking care Of the automobiles to
the very best OF the ability OF the
State Fair Management, the 20 cents
automobile fee would not be charged,
but visitors at the fair would rather
, have the auto parking place well
under the eye of competent police
rather than enter free without such
protection With all the myriad OF
cars present at one time, running here
and there, in and out, there has new
or been a single accident of any kind
on the State Fair Grounds. Every
driver Of every automobile is asked to
drive with caution that accidents may
be avoided.

Planted Trees

In accordance with an appropria-
ton made for the purpose, the Board
of Managers planted over LOO TO est
trees of various kinds on the State
Fair grounds at Hutchinson this spring.
Practically all of them are growing
fine. 1t has been a good year for
trees to grow and 1t is fortunate that
they were planted around the entire
tract of l12 acres and on both sides
of various driveways which are laid
out according to the plans of the land
scape architect In few years these
trees will add greatly to the appear
ance of the State Fair grounds.
