Peculiar Problems
State fairs in the west, situated as
is the Montana state fair in territory
of relatively sparse habitation. have
a problem to solve that is absolutely
from that of the eastern fairs.
and it is just as well to face the fact
at the outset. The Minnesota state
fair, for example, is situated on the
Midway directly between st. Paul and
with a population of mil
lions to draw from within a radius of
a few miles on either side. 1t is just
as easy for the Minnesota state fair to
make "A success as it is for the Mon
state fair to make q failure, and
for no other reason than this relative
of population within reasonable
travelling distance of the fair. This
is primarily responsible for
the conviction of the new state fair
Management that the local situation can
not be met by putting on an imitation
Of the Minnesota state fair.
Still using the Minnesota fair as an
Illustration, it is obvious that a pro-
gram could be put on there day after
lay without change, and still play to
crowded grandstand, because the con-
ributing population is so dense that
new crowd can attend and fill the

was chosen not because of experience
in the fair business but because of a
conviction on the part of the COM
missioner of agriculture that the ad-
illustrative head of the fair must
be first of all n capable executive with
command of the mass of detail that
attends such a position. and his expe-
rience with fairs might be secondary.
particularly with the sort of a fair
contemplated for this year.
On the other hand, experience prim-
arily was sought for in the selection
of the executive board, which is as
sisting the department of agriculture
in putting on this years fair. The
object sought for in this organization
is an executive who will attend to
detail. and a board made up of men
each of whom is a specialist in one
or more important part of the state
fair. The best way to get at this idea
is to study the men who make up the
present executive board.
James Griffin of Chinook, veteran
exhibitor and superintendent in the
agricultural division of the State fair,
will be the board member directly in
of the agricultural products
show.
Prof. c. n. Arnett of the animal hus-
department of the State college,

but which heretofore has not accom-
panied victory in the farm products
divisions.
Many Opinions Received
This change, which will work a
marked transformation in the agricul-
tural hall, was not made without a
thorough effort to get the public's
reaction toward it. Several hundred
letters are on file with the department
of agriculture expressing the writer's
opinions relative to the change. These
are from exhibitors, county agents,
commercial club secretaries. farm bu-
reau leaders. advisory board members.
and. in fact, constitute a representa-
tive cross-section of citizens of the
state who are interested in the state
fair. With the exception of less than a
half dozen. all expressions secured are
wholly favorable to the change for this
year.

seats daily. At Helena, Montana. on
the other hand, the grandstand crowd
and the crowd on the grounds must be
largely made up of repeaters-those
whose interest was caught by some
features of the program to the extent
that they decided to come again.
This years "All-Montana" program
is being built on the principle that the
n thing that will draw a crowd out
day after day is a true contest between
individuals, teams or localities in which
they have interest. In the past it has
been the practice to make up a large
part of the show before the grandstand
of vaudeville acts that came on twice
each afternoon each day of the week
without change. Conceding that the
first appearance of such an act meets
with the crowds approval. it is APP
parent that the visitor will not have
to stay for its tenth or eleventh ap-
p%earance before becoming heartily
bored with it. Then these acts cost
money and the money goes entirely out
of the state.
No STAGED" Races
But to get away from the negative
and on to the positive side of this
years fair entertainment. the basic
change will be a shift from the mile
to a half mile track, and the elimina-
ton of imitation staged contests in

Statewide Interest Evident
There seems to he evidences of a
determination in many quarters to turn
in and help make the 1922 State fair
a huge success. and this is not CON
fined to the immediate vicinity of the
State fair city by any means. Some
of the most encouraging assurances
and actions have been generously
forthcoming in Great Falls; Butte is
becoming unusually interested in the
type of fair which is on the board for
this fall, and there will be active CO.
operation between the fair Management
and citizens Of the big mining camp
toward some more special
trains during fair week. Similar Of
are being made to work with
other cities and towns within the at
tendance radius and every thought that
an object to make the exposition truly
is going into this years fair has as
an 'All Montana" event.
One of the most encouraging signs
Of advance interest in the fair is the
in which Helena
civic organizations, led by the Helena
Commercial club. are lining I'D support
for the fair. Decision has been def
nitely made by the Helena CONNER
cial club to stage a well organized
campaign during some one week this
summer. for an advance sale of tickets

camp for more than n period if he
SO desires. There will be sufficient
variety of program and activities To
keep him from getting tired of the
camp.
The local scout organization is max
ing a special effort this summer to Sc
! cure as nearly 100 per cent attendance
at the Camp Rotary periods as pos
sible. Every scout should be given an
opportunity to go, whether or not his
parents can afford to give him the
money. Several of the troop commit
tees of various troops. especially those
in the Methodist, Presbyterian and
Catholic church and the Boston
Heights community club, are already
making special efforts to make it pos
sible for every scout to attend.
So far as possible, scouts are urged
to attend camp with their own troop
group. If for any reason this is i'm
possible. he will of course be welcome
with some other group. 1t takes about
30 scouts to make a full complement
in camp, SO that no single troop will be
able to occupy the camp to the exclu-
sion of all others.
Give Scouts Work
Scout headquarters is making an eff
fort to assist scouts who do not vet
have the full amount of money for the
camp. by furnishing them employment
whereby they may earn it. Citizens Of
Great Falls who have odd jobs. or
steady positions, cleaning yards, max
ing gardens. tending lawns. or messen-
gers, bill distributors, delivery boys.
etc. are urged to give employment to
scouts who want to carr the summer

Camp Rotary has all the desirable
features one can want to see in a camp
for boys. The air is clear and bracing,
mountains demand exertion, but
too severe. nor long sustained. The
camp program provides swimming and
hiking, games and fishing, recreation
and instruction. Food, water. santa
ton, good health, clean living are pro-
vided for and carefully s~afeguardded.
Firearms are forbidden, but kodaks
are encouraged. What else can a boy

Gun Club Organ
ICES for Big Hunt

At last Thursday evenings rekulai
monthly meeting of the Belt Rod and
Gun club plans were made which
should have remarkable results in
preserving and increasing the game
birds of the Belt valley, as well as in
creasing the membership of the club
The membership of the club was di-
vided into two teams, with j. w. Le-
land as captain Of team No. /, and
Ben j. Kennedy captain of team No.
2, and a contest inaugurated to see
which side could obtain the largest
number of members and destroy the
greatest number of animals which
are destructive to game.
The contest will be conducted on the
point system, and the losing team
will provide a feed for the winners.
A new membership in the club will
count 25 points, "a coyote 25 points,
sl1unks 20 points, magpies Is
points, weasels 10, hawks 15, crows 10
and gophers /. An open season on
memberships extending from that
evening to midnight, Sunday, May IA,
was declared, and already 40 or more
new members have been taken into the
club by the competing teams Three
organized hunts for destructive ami
mails viii be conducted, one team GO
ing in one direction from the city and
the other in the opposite direction.
Members obtained by each side become
members of the team taking their
memberships The first hunt is plan
ned fnr=the- last Sunday of this month,
April 80, and the next two on the first
two Sundays in May, the 7th and. 14th.
Each team will go afield in cars arm
ed with death dealing implements of
various sorts, and must bring in the
proof of their kill, and at the end of
the last hunt the count will be made,
the winners determined and date for
the feed decided upon.
1t is expected that a very large
number of the animals listed viii be
killed, thus not only preserving the
nests of ground birds from their raw
ages. but also proving great benefit
to farmers through decreasing the
number that otherwise would be feed
ing upon their grain. 1t is probable
that the contest will be repeated each
year and all who believe that the work

bership to one team or the other and
help the cause along. Especially are
residents of the country urged to be-

The matter of the trout rearing |
