FAIR, FINANCIAL
| SUCCESS, CLOSES
UP TO STANDARD IN
ALL BUT AGRICULTURAL DIS
PLAYS. SAYS PRESIDENT
Many Exhibitors Unable to Attend Be-
cause of Late Harvest Season
Plan Big Festival Next Year

"The sixth annual Latah County
Fair, closing tonight, has been a fin
ancial success and the fair associa-
tion have every reason to be proud of
year" said C. A. Hagan, president OF
the fair association, this morning.
1.-The secretary is making out, the list
of prize awards, and every cent of
will be paid as soon as
the list is made up.
"One regret of the association is
that the agricultural exhibits were not
up to the usual standard this year,
but we know there was a good reason
for the shortage. l believe that had
the season been three weeks earlier
the exhibits would have been better
than ever before. Many intending ex-
sent us word that they were
unable to prepare their displays, and
in many cases the directors of the as
sociation had to make trips to collect
the exhibits.
1--WE are grateful to the people OF
the county. and of the nearby towns
who helped to make the fair sue
cess by swelling the attendance with
their presence. We look forward to
next year with much enthusiasm, and
are planning a fair even better than
he one this year"

Types Proved Practical For Side
Hill Harvesting

| After a long period of experimental
ton both in shop and field, the Idaho
National Harvester company, manu-
facturers of the famous Idaho COM
bine, will be prepared in another sea-
son to put into the field pull ma
chine. This machine is built on the
principle of the push" rig that has
been heretofore the sole output of
Mcscow's largest manufacturing es-
tablishment, but instead of horse pow
Ell being applied to it to push it, the
horses will be attached ahead to pull
the machine.
For a long time, agents in some To-
calities have been reporting to the
company that in their particular local
tiles, grain growers were demanding a
machine that could be hauled about
the field. AS result of this indication
Of what is desired by those who op-
crate this kind of machinery, Super
iutendent William Mix has been work
ing on several different models, and af-
ter great deal of experimentation,
has finally perfected a pull machine
that meets every requirement of side
hill operation, and the next year, the
company Will furnish any who prefer
them machines of this kind.
The pull machine on side hills meets
with a difficulty, not presented by the
nlsh machine. When the horses are
behind a machine, no difficulty is ex-
perienced in keeping the machine IN

there On the other hand, with the
other style, the construction OF the
machine must be such that it will

ARKANSAS COTTON
 SEED SCARF PINS

Those who are not satisfied with Ar kansas diamonds or Arkansas pearls for scarf pins, might be willing to accept the next most valuable thing, and that is Arkansas cotton seed. Tom Branch, manager of the Des Are Cotton Oil Mills, has had large mum Der of scarf pins made with cotton seed settings. and is giving them to his friends as valuable relics of the 1916 season which has established a record for cotton and it's products. Te says that he does not know any thing more valuable at this time than cotton seed at $60 ton. And twenty five years ago gins paid haulers to take it away and dump it into the nearest creek.

CAR SHORTAGE SITUATION
 BECOMING VERY SERIOUS

A high freight official of the Rock Island says that the car shortage situation Is very serious in Arkansas and IS not improving. All commodi- ties are suffering from the congestion. Platforms are loaded with cotton awaiting shipment, and cotton seed IS piled up on the ground. Lumber interests are suffering, and all ship pers are feeling the effects of the shortage. The prevailing high prices. and the favorable weather that has permitted the rapid gathering of the crop are among the elements that have contributed to the conditions. The shippers in some states, although this IS probably not so true of Ar kansas as other localities, are in a measure responsible, for they are will ing to pay demurrage on cal loads of their products which are advancing so rapidly every day. While they are making thousands of dollars, by hold ing up their shipments, the freight cars are tied up, and it is impossible to secure enough cars to keep the pro- ducts moving. There never was be- ! fore in the history of Arkansas so lgreat a volume of freight moving out of the state, and it is interesting to observe that the volume of incoming freight is less than normal. Arkan- sas is living at home, and sending it's surplus abroad

Millions of homes would be plunged into darkness, factories would have to stop work, the signal lights of railroads would refuse to operate, even the telephone switch boards would be confused and only the electric arcs would remain burn ing in the streets.
 Sucn an occurrence happening to- day would make the world stop in it's needless rush and consider for a moment the importance of Edison's greatest invention when, after work ing day and night for months at a time, he invented the first electric lamp, lamp which, even in it's most improved form-the Mazda lamp. operates on the same principle as the one which Edison completed thirty seven years ago this month. For it was on October 21, 1879, when Edison announced to the world that he had invented the electric lamp. It was considered marvellous when the Edi- son factory produced a thousand lamps day. Now, in the great Edi- son lamp factories at Harrison, N. J., lamps are turned out at the rate of 35,000 lamps an hour, lamps which give three times the light for the same amount of electricity as the old type carbon lamps.
