STATE FAIR TO Be
THE GREATEST EVER
HELD IN THE STATE
Twenty five Thousand Dol
lars Will Be Available for
This Years Exhibition in
Boise.

The state board of agriculture held a
financial session Saturday when the
matter of financing the state fair was
discussed at length with the Ada
county commissioners and represent
atives of the Boise Commercial club.
It was virtually decided to have $a5,
600 state fair in Boise this year, the
largest in the history of the state. The
biggest state fair Boise has ever held
was an $4,000 one. Under the tenta-
tive plans outlined, this will be in
creased under the state board of
agriculture, which will have the man
agement of the fair on a state basis for
the first time this year.
The county commissioners are to
meet Monday and definitely determine
the amount OF money they will give to-
ward the financial support of the
fair. The Commercial club Is also to
meet this week and reach a decision.
From the financial support Of the
county and city together with the
support that will be derived from many
of the big cattle, swine and other as
sociations, and the state fair, there will
be ample funds to make the fair the
biggest and best ever held within the
borders of the state
$4,000 FOR TWO YEARS.
The last legislature appropriated
100000 for the state fair. This is a
biennial appropriation and therefore
will have to be used for fairs on two
different years. The state will be
able to give approximately $1,000 in
cash for each fair. The county and
city will probably meet this, dollar for
dollar, and the balance will be raised
from other sources as mentioned.
I'VE are getting the fair matters in
very good shape" said Secretary of
State Dougherty, Saturday. TT should
be the biggest and best fair and one
of the most representative ever held
in Idaho. 1t is to be a state fair in
every sense OF the word, with all parts
of the state interested. Our confer
ence with the commissioners and the
representatives of the Commercial
club indicates that the financial mat
tiers will be worked out to the salts

SAYS WHEAT SHOULD BE
SOWN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Now that the long drouth has been
broken, Arkansas farmers should
lose no time in discing their land
and sowing their wheat and rye.
according to c. w. Watson state
agent of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Reports that we have received
from over the state are to the effect
that many farmers who have bought
their seed wheat and rye have been
unable to SOW it because the ground
has been so hard that it has been
impossible to break it," said Mr.. Wat
son. However, recent hard rains
have remedied this condition, and
the farmers should lose no time in
beginning to SOW. Also much of
the grain that was sown has not
come up because of the drouth, but
this grain should begin to make it's
appearance now.
"Of course there is the danger that
grain sown now may suffer from
freezing, but the farmer runs some
danger with any crop, and | believe
that the danger of the grain being
killed by winter freezing is no great
er than any other risk that the farm
er runs in sowing his crops.

HUNS WORSE THAN

SENATOR JOE T. ROBINSON I'M
PRESSES LARGE TExARkANA
AUDIENCE IN FORCEFUL LIB
ERTY BOND SPEECH.

Texarkana, Oct 23.-United States
Senator Joe T. Robinson spent today
here, making three speeches in be-
half of the Liberty Loan. The first
was at a luncheon in his honor by
the Rotary and Lions Clubs, at which
he met practically all the bankers
and business men of the city. At
23O D. m. there was a parade, head
ed by band, through the principal
streets to the Miller county court
house, where for more than hour the
senator told an audience of more
than 1000, about one half of whom
were farmers, of the innumerable out
RACES visited upon the country by
Germany, and explained why the
United States was at last forced to
go to war He declared 1t was a
case of fight or be destroyed"
He said that hirelings of the kaiser
yet are going over the country trying
to arouse sentiment in favor of re-
pealing the draft law, but declared
that law would stand until Germany
is conquered.
Referring to the contention of GER
tain propagandists that the United
States should have recognized the
ocean war zone arbitrarily fixed by
the German government, and kept
her ships at home until after the
war. He declared that had such a
policy been pursued the property
values in this country would have
been wrecked and the cotton would
not be worth five cents. He urged
loyalty in word and deed and thou
ght, and warned that the day of the
Stacker, both in private life and In
congress, soon will be at an end.
He drew lurid pictures of the
frightful outrages committed in his
day by Atilla the Hun. 1.-THE Scourge
of Cod" and then after pause said,
But Antilla was gentleman and
scholar compared with the kaiser
and his miserable Huns"

HELPING TO WIN THE WAR

Thls is a letter to the fortunate onss who, 10 years from now, will be enjoying the benefits of what all fu- ture will call the Great War.
 You (the girls of sweet sixteen and slightly upward and the boy who are getting ready to yote) will know more about this war when you are plump and middle-aged than any one can possibly know this year.
 When the dust has cleared away and the large events Of the war can be Seen from a distance then you will understand that the issues Involved had to be fought out, that the United States had to take part, that the task We are now un- dertaking had to be accomplished.
 Let Us hope that each of you can say, 20 years from now, "I wat young at the time but knew what the war meant, and helped"

the influence of new friendships, pre-

Europe's war has changed the whole
world.
And how are we prepared to meet
this crisis? Can we boast a reassur-

Or of British determination? Have
we till very recently even thought OF
our tremendous industrial develop
ment as a national asset, in which

brought about a new realization, but

Is our industry today organized on a
