tary Lea, representing the amount Of

ceeds the amount of profit of any fair

the last state fair amuonted to $61, ,955,
not including legislative appropriations.
The concessions this year alone paid in
$10,4s9.
Among the recommendations of Sec
retary Lea was that the horse show be
continued as this feature proved a
strong drawing card. The painting Of
the buildings was another recommends
ton.
The total number Of live stock shown
was 4025, this number being 925 more
than for any former year. There was
great interest in all stock exhibits.

coming, representative of every age,
men, women and children, expressing
their loyalty to their country and the
president.
The mail of the loyalty editor never
fails in interest. Taken at random
from the many pledges is one from
a Confederate veteran, who has drawn
beside the Stars and Stripes a picture
of the Confederate flag, above which
he has written: "Over eighty l
fought under this (the Confederate
flag and will fight under this (the
Stars and Stripes) if necessary"
Attached to another pledge was a
long letter from a British subject.
As this letter embodied the request
that it be not made public, its inter
esting story is withheld, but the 10y
atty editor cannot refrain from Civ
ing just a glimpse of this communi-
cation, the writer of which, among
other things, says: 81 am a Nova
Scotian rs tried to enlist the
first week of the war after England
got into it, but they were not taking
men of my age then, and since then I
have had my left hand slightly Grip
pied, but | think ! could qualify in
a short time for master of patrol
boat or submarine chaser. Although
/ never was in steam vessel, l am
capable of navigating and handling
one and know | could and would chase
subs, if / got the chance. am will
ing to forfeit any claim on the United
States Government in case of injury
or death. l will offer my services
to the United States against any
country except the British Empire
and, of course, her allies"
On one pledge which came from
Millville, was he request for twenty
additional imprints.
All who wish to sign the pledge or
to secure imprints are asked to send
their names in to The Journal at
once.
