MEETING OF FAIR DIRECTORS.
Results of LAST Years Exhibition
Reviewed and Plans Formulated
for Coming Dispiay-Extensive
improvements contemplated.

A meeting of the board of directors
Of the South Louisiana Fair Associa-
tion held at the headquarters of the
organization in Donaldsonvi1le last
Sunday afternoon, over which Pres
/ Ident j. S. Ware presided, was at
| tended by representatives from va
rious parishes of the association.
/ The report of Secretary Manager
R. S. Vickers, containing a statement
of the financial result of the recent
fair together with recommendations
| for the current year, was read and
| approved. The statement, which
showed a deficit of $1,000, also show
ed that there was expended on the
last fair a total in round numbers of
| $4,000, of which $4,000 went toward
the construction of new buildings and
| other permanent improvements.
The budget for this year contem-
pilates a toted expenditure of S12..
900, among the improvements pro-
posed being the erection of wings
to the woman,s building, new cat.
tie building, a new manufactures
building, a dance pavilion, shell or
gravel walks, extension of the light
ing facilities, construction of an ade-
quate drainage system, etc.
In order to erect the new build
ings planned it will be necessary TO
acquire more land, the intention be-
ing to place the STRUCTURES on the
opposite sides Of the grounds from
the grand stand and woman's build
ing, thus giving symmetry as well
as compactness to the building plan.
One shell or gravel walk around the
entire grounds will lead visitors past
every building, concession Or attrac-
ton, thus making one location as
choice and desirable as another.
The dates, Oct. 13 to II inclusive,
allotted the local association for the
coming fair at the late meeting in
Baton Rouge of the statewide fairs
association, were approved and ac-
cepted by the board Of directors.
The recommendation of the secre-
show be held under the auspices of
the fair association about the Easter
holidays, at which truck, flowers and |
poultry be featured, was unanimous
ly approved It was resolved to
make this novel event a gala occa-
sion not only by attracting good dis
plays of the above exhibits from
surrounding parishes, but by open
ing the baseball season with a game
on each of the two days of the show
1t is expected the new dance pavilion
at the fair grounds will be complet-
ed by the date of the show, in which
event dancing inspired by the com
pelling strains of Claiborne's famous
orchestra will be INDUCED in night |
and day by the visiting crowds.

There is much satisfaction among
the friends Of Gus. J. Labarre of As

tlonal tale told by those two worthy

THE PROBLEM or TEnANTRy.


Commenting on a speech made BY
Governor Capper in which the latter
inyeighed against the one-year farm
lease, the Wichita Eagle forcibly calls
attention to the importance Of the
problem of tenantry in the following
editorial:
"Tenantry In any form is bad
enough. because the direction it
points is not towards a desirable eco
nomic development. For there is no
cne element of evolution in this re-
public so completely discouraging as
the alarming growth of tenantry
The stormiest days the future con
ceals for this country have to do with
that era when the extremes of society
have come to be a rich and a class

Anything which will help drift the
nation away from tenantry. therefore,
is good, and anything which will i'm
prove tenantry viii help eliminate it.
The prosperous tenant is on the way
to become an occupying owner always.
The one-year lease not only impG Fer-
ishes the land and results in deteii-
orat,on OF property, but 1t keeps the
tenant himself on the down grade of
material prosperity. 1t is not good for
the property of the land holder, 1t is
harmful to the renter and if it be-
comes widespread as Governor Capper
seems to fear, it can be disastrous to
the nation
"We can afford to be slip-shod and
short-sighted in many matters as
free and easy people with little
thought of the future, but we can not
be safely careless in the graveN prob
lem tie nation has or can have--the
problem Of ownership " and conser-

the quality of suddenness to the an
nouncement of success, but the an
nolncement will occasion no surprise.
II Once electrical waves were made to
cary the articulations OF metallic in
struments, it became well-nigh certain
the way would be found to make them
carry the articulations of the human
voice. The wireless telephone, nomi-
nally an American invention, is in
reality an Italian-American one. The
wireless telephone is the corollary Of
the wireless telegraph, and Carly is
the coadjutor of Marconi.
But if this achievement merely
realizes a confident expectation, it is
not the less marvellous for that reason.

the evolution of the wireless tele
phone as a utility is to be more speedy
than that of the wireless telegraph
The practicability Of ii is no longer q
problem, but a fact demonstrated

but the mechanical work of installing
the instruments.

phone and TO wait impatiently to be
provided with a simple instrument
through which the voice may be pro-
f, iected over the long and short dis
tances indifferently and guided at will
But ignorance is bolder than science;
its temerity in prophesying is its con
fession of unlimited faith, and is thus
a tacit tribute to the achievements Of
science. President Vail of the great
organization which has given the i'm
petus and energy for the realization OF
this achievement forbids those large
expectations. The wireless telephone,
he says, is only destined to supple
ment and amplify the wire systems. It
is clear, he adds, that 1T will never
supplant or be a substitute for the
wire systems" To this one might re-
tort that it is somewhat presumptuous
for the lay mind to pronounce any linn
itations on the power of the wizards
Of electricity. And, furthermore,
might not one suspect that, unwit-
tingly. Mr.. Wallis wish somewhat faith
ers his thought when he assures us
that we shall never become quite in
dependent of wires for carrying on
our conversations?
But whatever the future may decree
as to this controversy. the service
which Mr.. Vail allots to the wireless
is marvellous and magical enough to
make it but ingratitude to crave
greater. He bids us to expect that,
before a great while. we may be per
mitted to sit in our offices or homes
and call up one aboard a ship in any
of the seven seas. Indeed, it SENS

travagant in expectations, look for

satisfied by this service. If the
wizards of electricity have exhausted
their magic, at least they have
wrought their miracles to fitting and
