will be hopelessly outclassed by. out
side competition. .>. r.
Getting Exhibits for the Fair: The
first factor in the success of the fair
depends upon the volume and excel.
ience of the exhibits Government
departments, experiment stations, and
other institutions realize the value OF
the exhibition as a public medium, and
are very obliging in affording all the
assistance at their disposal. Special
attention must be paid to the schools
because their exhibits have great gen.
eral interest, and are big drawing
card in attracting a large attendance
of visitors Advertising exhibits from
commercial firms are, also, compare
lively easy to secure. But until our
people acquire the county fair habit
something more than the issuance of
printed matter will be found neces-
sary to attract exhibits from private
individuals. They have to be talked
into exhibiting and given personal en-.
couragement Each sectional manager
must be an energetic canvasser for
his section, otherwise he runs the
risk of having an array of empty
benches on his hands when the day
for the fair comes around.
Acceptance Of the entry fee places
the management under distinct OBJ
legations to the exhibitor. He is enti-
tied to sufficient space in location
where the exhibit can be properly
displayed. It is the duty of the man
agement to use reasonable care in the
protection of exhibits, and, in certain
cases, to see that the section is main
tanned in good, sanitary condition. The
whole system of receiving exhibits,
distributing them among the sections,
and, finally, returning them to their
owners requires. careful study and
must be worked out in advance.
Provisions for the Convenience and
Entertainment of:the Public: The pur-
chaser of ticket is entitled to ex-
pect that his convenience and COM
fort will be provided for so far as is
uossible The stream OF traffic should
fiow comfortably, and without over
crowding along sufficiently wide aisles-
Ample seating accommodation should
be distributed throughout the fair. In
ail-day fairs where many of the visit
ors come from considerable distances
provision must be made for food and
refreshments, and it is the business
of the management to see that these
are of good quality and supplied at
reasonable prices. Among other par
tieularly desirable eonvenienees are
rest rooms for women and children.

A general information bureau can be
made to serve many purposes from
registering missing articles to supply
ing medical attendance in cases of
emergency Various kinds of free en-.
tertainment should be carried on the
program. Demonstrations by experts
in different departments should be
specifically advertised. Music is an
obvious necessity, and a good band
should be in attendance. Outdoor
sports, such as racing pool, baseball.
ETC., are desirable adjuncts to the fair

think my position regarding Civic
Convention work Is thoroughly wen
known. II has always appeared to me
that this Civic Convention movement
offered medium through which
views may be exchanged and ideas
advanced and free discussion IN
dulged in that could not be found in
any other organization in the Terri
tory OF Hawaii. The fact OF the mat
ter is that there is no other terri
torial organization, and while oppor-
tunities are offered through the yari-
Gus chambers Of commerce, boards OF
trade. and other civic bodies there
Is not the same opportunity Of hear
ing, at first hand, the views OF others,
SO to speak. Each convention has
progressed along the lines for which
the movement was inaugurated, and
the meeting which has Just closed at
Hilo, has, to my mind, been Of greater
benefit than the ones preceding.
This Is very natural and as II
should be. II occurs to me that the
people Of. the territory are getting
closer together In feeling that we must
all work shoulder TO shoulder for a
common cause and for q common
good, and that cause and that good
Is something that will help the people
as whole. Personally I feel very
much benefited by the Hilo conven-
tfon. because we had number OF i'm
portant matters presented from vari-
Gus viewpoints and ] consider It q
very poor man Indeed who cnnnot
gain q great deal from arguments ad-
yanced by the other fellow.
Every man who has anything IN
him at all should have the courage
OF his convictions and stand up and
fight. for them until such a time as
somebody else presents something
that Is better. and believe he should
then give way and acknowledge that
the viewpoint Of thesother fellow has
considerable value.

their reception and the handling OF
their guests, and l want to take of
my hat TO Hiio. The convention open
ed q way for many valuable reforms
aud as a result i think we should
have q better territory, better coun-
ties. better communities and better
country as a whole.
We must not forget their County
Fair. The cattle exhibit. the exhibit
OF fruits, vegetables. the school dis
plays, etc, were certainly eye-openers
ana a revelation to many people Of
the territory who felt that the only
things grown in this country were
sugar cane and pineapples.
