In tho meantime the men involved
In the original strike against the troll

A LESSON or THE FAIR.

Two years work ON the matter has
finally gotten the New Mexico state

should have been all these years--a

ties for rewards for excellence in
displaying the results Of their pro-
gross and industry Other features
of anv state fair arc incidcntal-de-
vclopment Of the resources Of the
state must Of necessity be at the foun-
dauon Of the enterprise if it is to be
successful.
The fact that the different coun-
ties vary in wealth, in progressiveness
and in natural advantages has Of
course been demonstrated ~ the last
two fairs How TO equalizc the.
chances for winning prizes Of the.
richer and the poorer counties and
how TO stimulate the less progressive
counties to greater energy In the de-
yclopmont Of their resources and the
appropriate advertisement Of them
are the problems that confront fair
arrangements OF the future.
ono county may be fortunate inI
possessing unusually philosophical
citizens who are willing TO give OF
their own private funds to supplement
the appropriation made by the county
commissioners in order that the best
possible showing may be made in the
way of an cNhibt, and while money
can not make resources it can so a !
long way in exhibiting them to the
lest advantage Another county
equally wen endowed by nature may
not be so fortunate in the possession
of citizens able and willing to aid hy
private subscription IN gathering an
exhibit that will adequately tell the
story Of its resources, and may be !
placed under am mdcsorved handicap /
by being compelled to restrict it's OK !
to the public appropriation ,
made for that purpose
of course it may bc said that the /
county with the progressive aud en-
citizens should receive rec

OLD MAN CoLLEY
BY Harold Garter
- So = >
Copyright, 1916, w. G. Chapman.)
The news that Winfield was to
have a hospital excited the town
deeply. It was so miles to FTalingtOn,
where the nearest hospital was, and
many persons had had their suffer-
ings prolonged by the long train
journey. When it was known that
the unknown donor had provided for
a hospital on the most modern plan,
enthusiasm was aroused.
Some thought the giver was John
B. Allingham, on the hill, but al
though he had done much for the
town, he admitted with regret that
this was beyond his means.
'I guess it's Old Man CoIley," said
one of the town wits, and everybody
laughed.
Old Man CoIley was the diTtiest
and most misery old fellow in Win
field, and the pity was that he ought
to have been rich enough to have

of the best corn land in the state.
But he occupied a wretched hovel
that was falling to pieces, he had
worn the same suit and the same hat
within living memory. COlley was
the disgrace of the neighborhood.
Old Man Colley distinguished him
self in singular way soon after the
foundations of the,new hospital were
in position. He stopped to look and
suddenly burst out:
Nov the poor and rich will have
a fair chance. No more dying from
typhoid germs and filthy milk cans! ="
The workmen shooed him away.
Some threw cIods of earth at him.
Old Man CoIley, apparently ashamed
Of his Outburst, Gmped homeward.
Then people began to recall the
fact that in his young days the old

of Guardians was unaware Of him.
It was strictly run on the most mod
ern lines, the physicians were the
first in the state, and soon it acquired
a reputation in the country. The
opening was marked with town
gathering. There was a band, and
all the best people in Winfield at
tended. The mayor made a speech
in honor Of their "munifcent bene-
