While the books will not be f,,Ilv
checked up and balanced for several
weeks, Ak-Sar-Ben governors freely
express their confidence that the or.
ganization will come out nicely f.
nancially this year. There have been
years when Ak-Sar-Ben ran into a

year to make money enough to pull
them upon the right side of the
ledger.
There are no dividends in this Or
ganization. When it makes money
one year that money is simply car
ried as a good fund to begin bigger
work the next year and to make the
festivities still greater success
The attendance at the carnival
grounds is likely to prove the largest
ever recorded Already the figures
run over 10000 and there is vet
night to run. The crowds that came
this year stayed through the week.
This is an observation made by mem.
bers of the board of governors, who
are impressed with the fact that the
people did not rush into the city
merely to see one or two features
and then rush out. but remained
throughout the week and packed the
carnival grounds every night.
