Nothing connected with the in

ed to suffer. Every effort should
be put forth to make the fair this
fall bigger, better and of more
far reaching influence than any
previous effort.
AT this stage of our history the
big question, the question that
oyershadows all others, is that OF
production. We must produce,
ana produce, and keep producing
In time past this passion OF pro-
duction was based largely on de-
sire: We desired the fruits of our
labors for our qualification and
and pleasure. Now, however, we
must produce as a matter of self
preservation. Indeed, the issue
Of the great European conflict will
turn largely upon the producing
capacity of the United States.
The normal human being never
outgrows his desire for apprecia'
ton of his efforts. The desire tt
excel, and to hear from ones
neighbors and friends an appre-
ciation of this excellence, is
most potent factor in stimulating
effort. The big hog in the per

road to successful production
