plies to good fair management, The
greater the number Of workers, the
larger will be the success of the fair.
However, it is best to select agencies
or individuals who are themselves in
t tasiaialHpin the particular subject
they are asked to cover. The super
of each department should
have some knowledge Of his subject;
that is to say, poultry raiser, breed
er or fancier should be in charge of
that department, for he is familiar
with the subject and generally
knows others who raise poultry in
his territory. In other words, fair
is community organization, and as
such should represent every corner
Of ee community by persons who are
leaders in various lines of agricultural
or live stock betterment in their re-
spective neighborhoods. Make it

Proper organization and efficient

spirit or the desire to have a fair
springs in the heart Of an individual
or community, it usually comes
during the harvest season and then
at time when it is too late to stage

But it is spark of life in mutual
desire tor community betterment,
and it should be encouraged, for this
same sparks can be kindled and kept
burning the winter months and if
followed up will prove the making
of bigger and better fair next year.
It takes full twelve-month period
to put on a successful exhibition, for
the farmer must be encouraged to
grow better crops when he starts his
spring planting and to buy better
stock for next years showing The
early winter is a good time to start
IA fair, for the spirit if the past sea
son is still fresh and those who have
exhibited are determined to make
in selecting officers for a fair, men
of the highest representative type
should be chosen, for they are the
ights OF the community and command
aspect and admiration of everyone
BuE the most Important command to
ill is the office Of the secretary or
manager, for 1he bulk of the work
falls on his shoulders. He should
have had experience in organization
work, and in fair management if
possible, for ne not only must come
in contact with the exhibitors, but
he should know how to organize his
committeeman SO that large num-
ber of people will take part in the
fair. And he should know how to
select at minimum cost to the asso-
citation, how to deal with the trick
aters and gamblers who make it

Of successful fair should be en-

The facilities now used by yu& were paid Tor
what they are earning in Louisiana while
serving you Just as you know.
Can you ask Or expect them to furnish more
money for your use in Louisiana under pres
ent conditions?
II the people of Louisiana will not supply
the money needed to serve themselves they
a.nstNinduce strangers to furnish it.
This can be done by allowing the stranger to
earn fair and Just profit upon his money
now Invested In Louisiana, serving you, and
upon all additional money required to furnish
you service.
This can be done in but one way: by paying
fair and just rates.
When the Company Is legally authorized to
charge a rate which will yield a fair and Just
profit over and above the cost OF furnishing
you service in the state OF Louisiana, it can
secure from strangers living in other states
the money needed to furnish service to the
state OF Louisiana
The Company must have this right beforei 1t
can get the money.
The people Of Louisiana must act first
To have telephone service you must either
Invest your own money In the Company's busi-

Pins Are Scarce.

Pins. medium m-sized pins are scarce. A downtown retail stationer, having an order for six pounds of No. or No. pins, tried without success to get them from jobbers. He was told that there were none in the market. The No and No. 4 pins are the medium sizes, such as are used for fastening papers together. They come generally in half-pound box es.
 It is only about century since the manufacture of pins by machinery be- gan. Before than time they were ham, mered out by hand, and, of course, were much more costly than now. The earliest pin undoubtedly was a thorn, but bone and i.-onze pins have been found in prehistoric ruins
 In 1877 the first patent for the making of pins by machinery was granted and since then there have been many inn provements. The first machine-made pins had heads separate from the shank. the head being fastened on with a wire.
 By the newer methods the solid head pin is made in one piece. Wire of a suitable gauge is run off reel and is nipped between jaws. The piece of wire is headed by a die and pointed by a revolving cutter. The pins so made are cleaned by boiling and are laid in a copper pan with alternate layers oi grained tin. The contents of the pan are sprinkled with argol Cbitartrate of pot | ash) and boiled for six hours, the pin: thus becoming coated with tin. They
