Local Option Sentiment Growing

Local option sentiment must be making
head way in New Jersey when the leading
papers i'll Newark and Jersey City can see
its definite enactment before 1920. Phe
Jersey City journal believes that it will
even cut some ice this year, and the
Newark News notes these significant facts:
"It's not because the wish is father to
the thought, that political wiseacres are
predicting the passage Of a local option
law IN New Jersey inside OF the next four
years. Rather, they are reading the
signs of the times. While the Gaunt bill
was defeated this year, it is a notable fact
that no wet legislation was put through
by the lawmakers, one reason being that
the liquor men didn't care or didn't dare
to ask for any. Another notable fact is
that one of the candidates for Governor,
George L. Record, is an old-party re-
former, running at the regular party
primary and standing on a local option
platform. And still another significant
TACT is that the Health Officers Associa-
ton OF New Jersey has unanimously
passed a resolution tor a campaign against
the evils oil indulgence in alcoholic drinks.
With such educational campaigns going
on it wouldn'G be surprising ii the twelve
votes lacking to pass the Gauht bill this
year would be corralled even before the
session OF 1929, even though a good many
temperance people believe there is a bet
ter way to settle the saloon question:"

EXHIBIT FOR STATE FAIR

1t is expected that forty different
tractor manufacturing concerns will
participate in the tractor blowing show
Of the 1916 State Fair at Huron, which
will by far surpass all previous at
tempts in South Dakota. Authorities
state that the ni~nety-four firms in the
business are making $50 different
kinds OF farm tractors, and of these it
is predicted that sixty per cen will ex-
hibit at the South Dakota Exposition
during the week of September II to
Is inclusive.
There are forty acres of tractor tx
hibit space in addition to and adjoin-
ing the Machinery and Manufacturers
building, which itself contains $4,000
square feet of dust and wind proof ex-
hibit room. The state fair board pro-
vides free to tractor exhibitors a field
of $50 acres for blowing demonstra-
tons. There will undoubtedly be an
exhibit this year fully three-fourths of
a million dollars worth of tractors and
machinery. An array of 5000 fore
men, c~aretakers, and helpers will be
required to handle this great exhibit.
The reason why the tractor show
succeeds so well at the South Dakota
State Fair" says Secretary c. N. Nc
Ilvaine, lis because the exposition is
in the heart of the greatest agricul-
tural and tractor belt in the world. The
people go wild over our show because
they know that this is the power age
and that farm tractors are here to stay.
That is why the state fair board en-
courages the tractor show and does
everything within its power to make
the demonstrations successful both
from the standpoint of visitors and ex-
hibitors. We anticipate that 125,O00
people, the real producers of this ter
ritory, will attend the coming exposi-
ton"
