REALLY a, CHAMELEON CITY,
the Past and Present-Once
Center CT Commerce.

Barcelona Is the chameleon city of
Spain. In some quarters of the city
the streets are narrower and more
crooked than those of old London,
while in others are avenues, boule-
wards, shops and cafes which vie with
those of Paris. The city has an aris-
tOcracy which lives so far In the past
that its sciOns still deplore the dis
cOvery of America, according to a
bulletin of the National Geographic
society.
Until 1902 Barcelona was the New
York of the Mediterranean. Column
bus voyage was considered bit Of
impertinence on the part of the Cas-
lillian government to upset the bal
ance Of trade in favor of cities In
western and southern Spain. AS a
result movement swept the Catalan
provinces. of which Barcelona is the
center, for annexation to France, the
revolt against Philip Nv In 1910 re-
sulting in the district giving itself
over to French protection.
CatalOnia's old allegiance, however,
was renewed In 1862, four centuries
later the resentment ameliorating
enough to permit the placing Of a
statue of Christopher Columbus in tlA
Rambla, Fifth avenue Of Barcelona.
After the Spanish-American war mobs
of Barcelona citizens stoned and egged
the explorers statue "as punishment
for having ventured to find so trouble
some new world for SPAIN"

Why Leisure Is important.

The fellow who takes time to get O
grip on life is the fellow who will forge
ahead. To do this he must be master
Of his spare time. The hours Of leisure
are the hours that make or break Il
man. In them he forms habits of thrift
or prodigality. Time well used means
Il brain well stored. This becomes the
ready asset of needy hours and the
unexpected. He meets exceptional
situations with confidence, and men
learn to trust him in times of stress
And he learns to believe in his own
strength. 1t is no wonder that little
detonr in life's morning has made such
beautiful going in life's afternoon.

MICHIGAN FAIR IS
PLANNED FOR ALL
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES DICKINSON
SAYS MUST HAVE BALANCE
BETWEEN FARM AND
CITIES.
NO CATERING TO CLASS
IN PLANS Of EXHIBITS

"A show for all the people of
Michigan Is the idea Of G. w. Dick
inson, Secretary-Manager of the
Michigan State Fair, now busily en-
gagged in plans for this years exhibit,
Sept. 3-12 at Detroit.
Il have never agreed" said Mr..
Dickinson, with the idea that the fair
should cater particularly to the farm
er-or 10 the city man or to any other
class.
1T must be always true that the back
bone of the fair is the agricultural
exhibits, and one OF the prime objects
OF the fair Is to encourage better
crops and farming methods. But il
we had to rely on farmer attendance
and farmer support for the state fair,
we couldn't break even in money
way.
"The ideal arrangement Is TO have
plentiful exhibition OF farm prod.
ucts to show to the city man, and an
equally interesting lot of city-manu
featured products to show the farmer.
In that case, you have educated both
of them, and you have also given a lib
eral bit OF instruction to the grea
tody Of the public which makes the
fair possible.
THE time is coming when the Mich.
igan state Fair will be almost con-
tinuous performance.
"Of course, the big events each
year will be grouped in a fair about
&c days or two weeks long. But there
Is no use having the grounds idle the
rest Of the year, and I am confident
that number Of features can b.
made to run probably almost all the
year around. The fair OF the future
will become more and more rounded
out and complete, having perfect
balance between the agricultural and
the manufactured exhibits
