plant Is totally inadequate and some
thing Of which we have reason 10 be
ashamed. II is stunting the growth OF
the annual exhibition. II has set up
barrier against plans OF The officials
for further progress. We need Two
buildings at once 10 make our plant
cred table one and to enable us 10 ex-
pand our show. One IL an exhibition
building, the other Il coliseum. Not
only does the fair need these buildings.
but Wheeling needs them. A short
time ago this club staged an indoor
circus, which was such A pronounced
success that 1t Will doubtless be repeat
ed next year You must have had
brought home forcIhly to you at that
time the need OF a much larger building
than any Wheeling now boasts. wherein
could be housed indoor affairs on a
large scale. Such buildings as we con-
template. FOR which we have had plans
drawn. would meet every requirement Of
the city for many years 10 come.
What Huntington 10 Doing
The business men of Huntington have
Just raised 100000 to construct a fair
plaat to outclass Wheeling. They have
bought Ia acres Of ground and have
plans drawn for plant that makes ours
look like a country fair. Wheeling
business men and citizens have put less
than $4,000 into, their Fair, all the rest
having been made by the operation Of
the Fair Itself.
Immediately after our Fair this year
we want 10 try to raise funds to build
these two new buildings. We expect TO
need hclp--lots Of it. We hope we may
count on kiwan!ans TO cooperate In this
as they do in every big project for the
advancement Of our city's welfare and
glory. We have the greatest country in
the world the greatest little state In the
country. the greatest city in the state
We now have the greatest Fair in the
state also. and we want to keep II the
greatest. This we can do, with the help
OF the kiwaniS Club and others who arc
100 per cent boosters for Wheeling and
the Mountain State. We are tied to-
gether by mutual interests, let us take
lesson from the little blotters beside
our plates and pull together. I think
am safe in saying that no single
agency has advertised wheeling better
nor over a greater area, than has the
State Fair Let us preserve this great
community asset and make II grow 10
such proportions that its supremacy In
the state and its high place among the
state fairs OF the Union may never be
In doubt.

Washington.-En of the wool
duties proposed in the pending tariff
bill would result in a burden on the
people at least as large as that inn
posed by Schedule X of the Payne

Walsh, who is in charge Of the Dem

increase the nations clothing bill by
two hundred million dollars annually.
To support this contention, the senator
referred to tariff commission estimates
as to the probable effect of the raw
wool rate on prices OF clothing.
