Senator Fletcher made short but very
emphatic speech in it's favor and if all
the other senators had followed his ex-
ample the country would have been
spared months of useless uncertainty.
Senator Trammell, we understand,
was against the treaty. but at any
rate he did not take up days or even
hours of the public time with useless
jabher as did Lodge, Borah, Johnson,
Reed and the other lallygags on that
side. Perhaps it hasn't occurred to
Bloom that as the treaty was not be-

SOUTH FLORIDA FAIR
A GREAT SUCCESS
Tampa Times)

According to President Brorein, the
South Florida Fair this year surpass-
ed all expectations, and from the
standpoint of exhibits. was the great
est yet held. The attendance this year
was larger than that of previous
years, despite the rain Wednesday.
Saturdays attendance, with several
hundred Shriners present, totalled
1880, making grand total of co.
GAG for the week.
1t is impossible to make any esti-
mate of the operating surplus, as
there are still bills remaining unpaid.
But there is no doubt existing in the
minds of any of the directors but that
the surplus this year will exceed that
of last. which totalled more than
$4,000. Members of the fair asso-
citation serve without compensation
and every cent taken in over actual
expenses will be invested to make the
Tampa event one of the best and big
gest in the country.
Plans are already being discussed
for next year and the fair will be
made larger and better than the one
just passed. AS yet only general ideas
are available. but one of the improve
ments contemplated next year win
pertain to the exhibits. Complete in
formation will be sent out early in the
season and thus the farmers. grow
ers and general exhibitors can pre-
pare their exhibits during the grow
ing season. One of the biggest assets
for splendid success of the South !
Florida Fair is the location of the
grounds, which are only few min I
utes' distance from the heart of the .
city. ,
