FAIRBANKS FAIR
 GREAT SUCCESS

The Panama Valley Fair was held at Fairbanks the beginning of the present month. The fair was a great success. Writing of the open ing of the fair the Fairbanks Citi- zen says:
 This morning the fifth annual Panama Valley Fair opens to public inspection. To an outsider this state ment would seem bare and meaning less, but to the people of the In- terior it is full of moment for they know that at last the products of the year, raised at the cost of un- told labor. watched night after night to prevent the early frost from cut ting them off before their time, in fact the best representation of the untiring energy of the people of the North and their irrepressible optimism, are to be presented to all who wish to see something of what can be raised in one of the fu- ture leading industrial centers of the United States.
 Every year, with the increased interest in agriculture which has token place in the Panama Valley, the annual fair has improved, but it is no exaggeration to state that this years fair surpasses them all by great lengths. The present exhi- bition is not merely showing of the products of the interior; 1t is an artistic masterpiece, worked out after days of planning by men who wished that the visitors to Fair banks might go away with the true significance of what the gardens of the Interior really mean. and who also wished to show that the story about the ice-bound Territory of Alaska is and should be an an- cient myth; thing of the past"

Tidings of Victories Brings New Hopes in 0uteoNe of the European
 Conflict.
COLLAPSE IS PREDICTED
Lord HaIdane Says that Germans Now Realize Significance of
 Triumphs.

LONDON, Sept. 22. - Confidence and grief are strangely mingled here. England was never so assured of the outcome of the war as now. Every day brings forth tidings of triumphs, every days long casualty lists tell their tale of the cost of victory.
 Day by day we keep looking with dim eyes at the bllnding list of casualties, says Robertson Nicon, "It seems that if anything could put faith to confusion. could cancel prayer could quench hope. 1t would be this wclter of war, wounds and death"
 No Shrinking
 But there is no weakening or shrinking Of the national determine ton to see this thing right through. which is firmer than ever. Lord Haldane. who knows the German mind perhaps better than any other Briton, is confident that once the German people realize they are de- featod there will be collapse. He declares the large proportion of sui cides there demonstrate that the German national temperament is not calculated to keep on when defeat is certain.
 The British public is now only be- ginning to realize the immense sig nificance of the French somme vic tories. Admiration far the French, always vivid, has increased enor- mously recently. France with her entire manhood called to national service. has now reached tho stage where her newest method of trench warfare is beginning to tell effect ively The highest military author tiles today consider the success of the French plan of campaign aginst the Sommo front now no longer a matter of discussion, but of almost mathematical certainty The French methods are remarkable not alone for the certainty Of results, but also for the comparatively small loss.
 Steady Improvement
 The present French advance will soon threaten important German railway centers. which are essential for their Champagne campaign. Our methods show steady improvement. Signs grow that the Allies contin- uous artillery fire is straining the nerve of the German troops to al- most the breaking point, and splen- did September weather helps us.

TO SUPPORT CITY
 W0MEN'S CLUB
lContrlbutedS


 There was time when the word "club" had but one meaning. lt defined piece of wood or material with which to beat or strike some person or thing This was the primitive concept or use of the term. But time has added a new signifi- cameo to the word Club" lt has attained to tho distinction of being symnonymous with the word "or- ganization," and in the parlallce of the day. we speak of Women's Clubs and Mems and Boys Clubs, etc. etc.
 Without attempting any analysis of the relationship between tie pri- mary and secondary meaning of the word club" there is this interest ing item to be found in the twp uses og the term and 1t is that both mean ings involve the Idea of power,
 The strength of the savage that wields the stick of wood is the measure of the power involved in his club. and by similar process of analysis we may assume that the power inherent in any club or for example in a Women's Club is com mensurate with the aims and purpos- es and ability of its membership.
 The recent convention of the Gen eral Federation of Womens Clubs of the United States which was held in New York City some few weeks ago brought very fcrcibly before the people that the Organ ized Womanhooi" of the nation is an established fact and not merely fad of mushroom growth. The Woman's Club is an evidence of the dawning of the new social cons cious- ness which is manifesting itself today. We are beginning to discoy- CT that we can nave any sort of a world we choose and that this re- creating of social life in decenter forms cannot be achieved except through our companionship in coop eration. together using all the facts that any of us have learned.
 The woman's Club is not concern ed in providing an avenue to social prestige for the woman who wants to get into society" It has larger and more important work than this, and any local body possessed of this idea falls short of measuring up Co the purposes and ambitions of the General Federation. The woman who refuses to come into the club for no other reason than that she is not on speaking terms with some member of the organization has not yet attained to the stature of a good club woman and thereby reveals her own little ness of soul.
 The Juneau womafss Club is plann- ing and hoping for much the com ing year Many organizations ex- clude more than they include But the Woman's Club is so broad in its purpose and aims as to include within its right of membership ev- cry woman who desires the mental advancement of herself and her fel- lowkind and the social betterment of the community and nation.
 The regular meeting of the club at the City Hall tomorrow at 2:0O D. m. is open to all women who may desler to attend.

SEVEN SEATTLE
 JUDGES WILL NOT
 HAVE OPPOSITION

Seattle, Sept. 22. - Mandamus proceedings were authorized yester- day to compel the County Auditor to open the ballot boxes used at the non-partisan judiciary primary 'elec- tion that was held last Tuesday on the same day as the party primar- ies and ascertain who, if any, of the candidates for Superior Court Judg- es received more than 30 per cent. of all the votes cast, and to place those. if any, who did receive a ma iority of all the votes on the ballots without having the names of oppos- ing candidates against them.
 According to the unofficial returns this would permit seven of the nine candidates for Judges to have their names on the ballot without opposi- tion. They are Judges Dykeman, Kenneth Macintosh, R. B. Albert son, Boyd Tallman. A. W. Frater, J. T. Ronald and Mitchell Gillian. All of them are now on the bench and candidates for reelection.
 Two other judges, Judge John S. Jurey and Judge Everett Smith, can didates for reelection, came next in the list of those running, but they did not receive a clear major ity of all the votes cast, and they will be opposed by former Supreme Court Judge Milo A. Root and George B. Cole, the two receiving the greatest number of votes among the dozen or so who contested with the present Judges, all nine of whom were candidates for reelection.
 Under the rule which eliminates all the candidates after the primary except two for every office to be filled, who contest at the general election, all other candidates than those named will not have their names on the ballot.
 Supreme Court the Same
 Judge John H. Mitchell, of Thurs ton county, has already held that the three Supreme Court Justices. Mark A. Fullerton. George Morris and E. N. Parker candidates for reelection for the long term, are en- titled to have their names on the ballot without opposition This elim- intes former Judge Charles E. Clay pool and D. G. Mills. both Of Seattle.
