Luis H. Yanes of Caracas,
Venezuela in the
ILL.,. City.

Luis H. Yanes, of Caracas, general
Venezuela representative of the Mo.
nongah Glass company, who has been
in Fairmont for several days on visit
to the factory, will leave tomorrow
for Washington and New York from
which latter place he expects to sail
soon for home.
This Is Mr.. Yanes' first visit to North
America and he has found much that
interested him. He has been in ths
United States about two months aud
has been making the most Of the time
at his disposal to get acquainted with
the country. He Is q good looking,
alert young man Of engaging manners
and but for the slight accent with
which he talks English he might pass
anywhere for an American business
man from the middle west. He is un.
married. While In this city he was
shown the sights by Tobe Blumen-
thall, who is in charge of the Latin
American business Of the Monongah
Glass company.
Mr.. Yanes says that the war In Eu.
rope has increased the sale of Ameri-
can goods In South America because
It has cut off the customary supply
from Europe. AS to whether this new
business will be retained by the Amer!
ican exporters, well, Mr.. Yanes Is ex.
tremely polite about 1t, but II one Is
mentally alert 1t is not hard to gather
that he thinks that is a matter that Is
entirely up to the American exporter
and, therefore, not very encouraging
to the prospects for American trade.
The trouble lies in the fact that the
American exporter is willing to do
very little to oblige the. foreign GUS
toner. Mr.. Yanes tells of one order
for cement that was cancelled because
the exporter was. not willing to put
one extra hoop around the middle Of
the barrels. The customary hoops at
the ends Of :he barrels did not make
the package secure enough for the
purpose Of the Venezuelan trade and
the agent at Caracas asked that one
more band be put. about the, center Of
the barrel at his expense. But the
American cement people declared that

The trouble has been caused by
Chairman Lewis demanding, and in.

national issues shall share an eQua.
prominence with state issues That
is the bone OF contention, and over IT..
o high state OF dudgeon has been
aroused. This is particularly true as
1t affects certain candidates for state
and Congressional offices on the Dem
ocratic ticket who had planned their
speeches and their campaign methods
generally along quite different lines
than those insisted by Chairman Lewis
should be followed.
As asmatter Of fact these candidates
and their managers, after listening to
the advice Of trusted friends. decided
that they would, as far as possible and
practicable, ignore Wilson in their
speeches, and with few meaningless
generalitiesg put national issues In the

The excellent music Of Vincentss

noticeable thing at the Fairmont Fair
today and could even be heard above
the medley OF other sounds composed
OF the melodious chant OF the never
tiring ballyho artists, the whir OF tbs
pineapple cider machine that never
grinds pineapples, the plaintiye sad
sound OF the mechanical orchestra on
the carrousel and the various other
noises that go to make q real Fair,
from the cry Of babies to the hoarse
below of some impatient bull In the
stock department. All OF these min

grounds from the entrance to the rae.

Despite the threatening appearance
OF the morning presaging rain the
crowds began TO arrive early today
and by noon there were already more
than five times as many present as at
tended all day yesterday. Judging OF
the live stock and the displays In ex-
f'bition hall began this morning and
had not been completed at o late hour
this afternoon.
The races began promptly at two
o'clock and the slight shower thai oc-
Cured about noon simply made the
sprinkling of the track unne essary.
The entries for the races today, while
not large in any race, were well MATCH

The famous Dewey Bell barre' had TO
be filled more than three times In two
hours to satisfy the many thirsting
persons who were welcomed at this

Most every one seemed gtosb happy
at the Fair today with the exception Of
the t1xi drivers. These men feel that
they have real cause for com laint

mile out of their way to the grounds
In order to avoid passing other cars on

has been accomplished they turn IN
