PHOENIX, Aug. 2S.-With the ap
 pointment by Governor Campbell of
 George A. Mauk of Phoenix as a mem-
 Der of the State Fair commission, to
 take the place of Charles K. PiShon,
 resigned, definite plans are ping laid
 for the Arizona state fair to be held
 during. the week of October 30.
 A meeting of the reorganized com
 mission has been called for the pur-
 pose of going over the budget and
 to arrange program Of events and
 outline the activities of the various
 departments, with the idea of pre- senting an educational exposition of Arizona's resources, which in novelty, interest and comprehensiveness, will outshine all previous efforts.
 Fair Grounds Improved During this year and last eXten- sive improvements have been made at the state fair grounds. Damage | from the Cave Creek floods of last year necessitated repairs to the mile track and the practical remaking of the half mile track. In order to save | the $60,009 grand stand, it was foun1 | necessary to saw off the routed bot | tom portion of the wooden supports and substitute concrete piers. A deep concrete drain running the full 1,5O0 foot length of the grandstand was installed to take care of future flood waters. Four 24-inch concrete | fumes were also placed beneath the track turns for the same purpose. New buildings are now being ad- ded to the original group of 2S and others are being moved and reno vated. thus giving new and pleasing l setting for the 1922 fair.
 Dairy Exhibits Building Among the most notable improve
 ments now under way is the erection l of a model dairy exhibits building 1 ment, with a refrigeration plant and
 laboratory will occupy one side, with | all perishable exhibits displayed in ! refrigerated show cases. The other l side will be devoted to an apiary exhibit in charge of Don c. Mote, the | state entomologist and to an educa- tional exhibit by the University of l Arizona.
 l Education Building
 The building formerly occupied by | the dairy exhibits is being remodeled 1 and will be known as the Educational Building. The educational exhibits l this year, have been placed under l direction of Miss Elsie Toles, state l superintendent of public instruction. ! Miss Toles has many original ideas 1 on exhibits and promises to give the | public something different from the | usual line of displays. On one side | of the building will be divided by 1 eight-foot reinforced concrete parti- tions. providing approximately 3,20O l feet of wall space. The other side
 will be divided by metal railings thus ! affording a pleasing perspective 4 new, location has bene provided l for the children's playground and the | checking station.
 Renovation Work
 1 The agricultural building is being l renovated throughout it's entirety. The swine department exhibit space has been increased 360 square feet A total of 1860 square feet of con-
 crete flooring has been laid for the
 swine sheds The small grand stand
 at the cattle judging ring has been
 moved to a position facing the track
 and will be used for the overflow from the main grand stand. Domes- tic science and all women's exhibits
