OFFER TO LEASE
FAIR GROUNDS
ISN'T ACCEPTED
Meeting of Commercial Club
and Park Committees Ends
Without Results.
MACHEN SAYS LEASE
WOULDM MAR ELECTION
Director Reflects Views of Fair
Grounds Men in Talk OPP
posing Lease.

The meeting of the directors of the
Fair and Park Association with a COM
mittee from the Commercial Club last
night for the purpose of arranging
plans for the Commercial Club to
lease the Fair Grounds, adjourned
without action being taken.
"The proposition is approximately
what it was before we convened"
said member of the Fair and Park
Association. While the directors of the
Fair Grounds did not reject the sug-
gestiOn from the Commercial Club,
the inference was that it could not be
turned over to a new management
just now.
Harry L. Machen, who was one of
the directors of the Fair Association,
reflected the view o. the owners of
the park, when he expressed the view
that it would be unwise to turn the
Fair Grounds over to the CONNER
cial Club before the city voted upon
the proposition to buy the park.
Il am of the opinion" said Mr.. Ma
chen, "that to turn the grounds over
to new management now would
hamper the proposition for the city
to buy the park. We have made a
most reasonable offer to the city, and
if the people feel that the city ought
to own the grounds, the Fair Grounds
will become public park.
81 am opposed to leasing the
grounds to the Commercial Club or
anyone else this year. We propose to
have fair, just as we have always
had, and if the city buys the grounds,
I am unable to see why that would in
terfere with the fair.
"As l understand it, the CONNER
cial Club is only willing to appropri-
ate $1,000. This would not lift the Fair
and Park Association out of its pres
ent predicament, and l believe it would
have a tendency to cloud the issue,
which probably will be put before the
people.
''To offer the fair to the city while
it is virtually under the management
of the city, would confuse the voters.
If the Commercial Club wants to man
age the fair, l think it should wait
until next year. In the meantime, the
city will have an opportunity to buy
the grounds or reject our offer.
1--WE are now confronted with the
proposition of the grounds being sold
at auction. If the city does not buy
the park, the association may be fore
ed into a receivership. If we were to
lease the grounds to the Commercial
Club, that would not prevent those
holding claims against US to sell the
grounds. And if this action were TAX
en-, it would only complicate the situa-
ton. Personally, l am unable to be-
lieve we could help the existing condi-
tions by simply transferring the man.
agement."
1t is understood that Mr.. Machen's
statement met with the approval of
the majority of stockholders in the
Fair and Park Association. Clyde Van
divort and Charles Blattner, with Mr..
Machen, control the majority of the
stock in the association, but it is said
that a number of other minor stock
holders take the view of the majority
in the belief that to lease the grounds
would be confusing when the propo-
sition comes before the people to buy
the park.

CANNING PLANT
TO OPEN HERE
This SUMMER
Frank Kimmel Divulges Plans
to Install New Industry
Soon.
WILL BE RUNNING in
TIME FOR 1915 CROP
To Can Corn, Peas, Tomatoes,
Beans, Fruit and Make
Catsup,

Plans are on foot and preliminary
arrangements are being made for the
installation Of canning factory in
this city within the next few months.
Frank Kimmel, who has taken the
lead in the promotion Of the enter
prise, in discussing the matter with a
Tribune representative last evening,
made the following statement:
Il have always contended that with
our market facilities, and our fertile
soil, we were naturally situated favor
ably for the maintenance of canning
factory. Actual test shows that the
finest tomatoes in the world can be
grown in this section and with an
enormous yield.
"There is no question but what
every ounce of the product of a local
canning factory will find ready mar
ket, and l am determined that such an
institution shall be established and in
operation in time to care for the crop
of the approaching season.
81 have secured a tract Of about ten
acres which l intend to plant to to-
matoes. l have completed arrange
ments for hot beds in which to sow
the seed for the production of the
plants, and l believe that everything
will be ready to begin the erection of
the factory within a month. ~ -
81 have interested a number of To-
cal men in the project and all arrange
ments have been made to carry it
through to completion. The plant will
be of capacity sufficient to accom-
modate the local production, and as
the acreage increases each season, the
capacity Of the plant will also be in
creased.
"We intend to employ an expert to-
mato culturist to look after our own
crop, and farmers who are raising to-
matoes to market with US will be glad
ly given the benefit of his expert
knowledge and advice.
,"Our equipment will enable US to
can vegetables of every kind, and in
addition to putting up tomatoes and
manufacturing tomato ketchup, we ex-
pect to preserve sweet corn, peas,
beans and some varieties of fruits.
"Our storage facilities will be con-
structed large enough to enable US to
handle such winter vegetables as po-
tatoes, cabbage and onions, in car load
quantities, and We also expect to deal
in apples in carloads.
"In order to create interest in the
enterprise, and bring it to the atten-
tion of everyone in the community, we
expect to select name for leading
brand to be placed on our best cam
ned goods, and we are going to offer
a prize of not less than $25 for name
most suitable for that purpose.
we expect to work a force OF ten
people through the canning season
this year, and next year we expect to
double our capacity and increase our
force accordingly.
"The refuse matter coming from the
factory will be used in fattening hogs
belonging to the company.
After few more details have been
looked after, representative of the
company will go among the farmers
in this section of the county and en-
deavor to secure contracts from them,
fixing the number of acres they will
devote to the culture of tomatoes to
be sold to our company at a fixed
price"

Napoleon treated the act as one OF
rebellion. Then began the struggle
for independence which lasted three
years.
In 1902 Toussaint and other lead
ers were induced by the French com
mander to surrender under guarantees
of safety. But the French did not
keep faith and Toussaint was sent to
France, prisoner, where he died.
Then the blacks arose again under
Dessalines and Christophe and in De-
cember, 1903, the French abandoned
the struggle.
Dessalnes on January l, 1904, de
clared Haitien independence and pro-
claimed himself emperor-and then
began the long series of bloody strug
gles for control Of the government.
There have been as many as seven
distinct revolutions going on at one
time, and since the republic was re
established in 1859 there have been

If the United States takes over
control of the island of Haiti, as it
now seeks to, Uncle Sam will have
the most troublesome spot in the
world to look after.
1t is the land of revolutions and no
ruler of the island has served out the
term of office for which he has been
chosen. "Trouble Island it is called

Their rule was so cruel and butch

years the population of the native
Indians was reduced from 100000
to $4,000.
Then negroes were imported from
Africa at the rate of 10000 year
and thus the present nation of blacks
had its beginning.

the rich colonies. As a result the
French obtained and kept a foothold
on that portion now known as Haiti,
while the Spaniards held the western
end, now known as San Domingo.
The negroes quickly learned all the
vices and cruelties of the white set
tiers and in 1889 they began a strug-
Gle for independence OF the $4,000
inhabitants on the island, 1000 were
white, 452 900 were slaves and $4,000
were freed negroes.
Then came the French revolution,
which took the government of Saint
Domingo (HaitD and revived the
hopes of the slaves.
In 1893, France being then at war
with England, the English invaded the
island. Freedom was offered by the
French authorities to all slaves who
would enroll themselves against the
enemy. This was soon followed by
a decree abolishing slavery. As a
result of the assistance rendered by
the blacks the English were forced
to flee the island.
The principal credit for this sue
cessful resistance to the English was
due to Toussaint LOverture, a for
mer runaway slave, who, when slav-
cry was abolished, returned from the
Spanish part of the island to lead his
fellow freedmen against the invaders.
Toussant was made military COVER
nor by the French, but in May, 1901,
