GOOD PRIZES FOR
COUNTY EXHIBITS

The New Mexico State Fair il
to be a real State Fair this year
inasmuch as it will have the in
dividual support of every county
in the state. The features o1
the exhibits at the Fair will be
the showing made by the coun.
ties, their products and resources
The State Fair management has
offered prizes aggregating 81, 700
for county exhibits alone. This
money will be divided as follows:
81, 900 for the best county ex-
hibit, $500 for the second best,
and 5000 for the third best. The
special rules which have been
laid down for the judging of the
exhibits will give every county
an equal chance to secure the
money. In other words, the
county with the greatest number
of resources and the greatest
diversity of agricultural products
will have no greater chance to
get first prize than the county
with the least number of re-
sources and products. The judg-
ing rules will demand that the
prizes be awarded upon the basis
of completeness of the exhibit
shown. To illustrate, if a county
with but five products exhibits
all of them in an attractive man.
ner it will have a better chance
for the first prize than a county
with twenty products, exhibiting
but fifteen of them.
Special committees of the COM
appointed by the State
Fair management are visiting
every county in the state to Sc
cure these exhibits. Up to the
present time not one refusal has
been encountered and six coun-
ties have signified their intention
Of having mammoth booths in
the agricultural, live stock and
mineral sections of the State
Fair.
Those counties exhibiting will
receive a great deal of publicity.
Both of the Albuquerque papers
propose to issue special editions |
containing write-ups and photo
graphs to all the land and i'm
orovement seekers throughout |
The United States. In addition,
f the winning county is desirous,
is exhibit will be permanently |
preserved and placed in a con-
3picuous position in the Albu-
luerque Commercial Club, where
al visitors to the state rnetrdpo-
is may see it for years to come.

HEAVY RAINS
SOAK VALLEY

After having tried for some
days to rain or at least send a
shower around the valley, the
weather man got in his good
work on Monday of this week.
All day long preparations were
being made apparently. and a
little before eight o'clock the
pitter-patter began, which con-
tinued the greater portion of the
night. At no time was there a
downpour or dashing rain, but
just the gentle rainfall, which
was drank up at once by the dry,
dry soil.
While coming later than usual,
the rains will mean lots Of corn
and beans for our farmers.
Crops have been cut down to
some extent by the drought, but
IN most instances the crops have
held their own remarkably we'll.
Showers continued at intervals
the greater portion of Tuesday,
Tuesday night and Wednesday.
At no time was the precipitation
excessive, practically all of the
moisture going into the soil.
The total precipitation to this
morning, as shown by the rain |
guage in charge of Observer
Stubblefield, is 2.96 inches.
Grass and crops have taken on
new life and farmers and Stock
men are feeling fine.

STUDENTS TO HEAR
FAMOUS SPEAKERS

The Tuesday morning assem-
bly, hour period, already an es
tablished and an important feat
ure of the regular work of tn
New Mexico state university a
Albuquerque, is to become ever
of greater Importance and in
| terest to the students during the
coming college year, which opens
August 18th; because of the ad
dition of a series of brief lee
lures by widely known men
For several years past it has
been the custom at the university
to devote the hour from 10 to II
o'clock each Tuesday morning,
to a brief lecture on some SUBJ
ject of practical interest and
value, by a man or woman out
side of the university faculty.
Thus last year Prof. Theodore
Woolsey, professor of Interna-
tional Law in Yale university,
and the foremost authority in
his subject in this country, dis
cussed international questions
raised by the great war in
Europe, before the New Mexico
university student body. He
was but one of a number of
notables who occupied this Tues
day morning assembly period.
In the past, however, the large
portion of the assembly address,
es have been by Albuquerque or
New Mexico men and the notable
change during the coming year
will be the addition of a program
of assembly hour addresses by
notable men of nation wide
prominence in their several lines.
The majority of these have been
arranged for their brief visits to
Albuquerque, and the university
authorities will announce the
complete program of addresses
before the opening of college.
These lectures will not be con-
fined to educational subjects,
but will include travel, matters
Of practical scientific interest,
history, literature, art, commerce
and business, and a few notable
musical events which are being
arranged by Professor Stanley
Sedor, head of the university de-
partment of music. The uni
versity has been especially for
tunate in this lecture program
by being able to obtain prom
nent men who will pass through
going to or from |
conventions at the two Pacific |
coast expositions.
