 Aid Fox Farming
 "One of the new departments that has been added to the Fair this year is a blue fox department The aim of the Fair Association is to eneour- age the breeding of better foxes and to help in advancing the interest of the industry and bring the general public into closer understanding of the importance of this branch of az riculture. We are offering three sill yer cups for the best foxes that are lexhibited at the fair One of the. cups is for the best adult male fox, one is for the best female fox and the third cup is for the best litter of 1923 puppies of nine or more.
 "A litter of nine puppies isn't T large litter, but we decided that this was good average. Exhibitors are limited to one entry in each class. The Fair Association will provide uni form pens in which to exhibit the foxes while on display in the show room and will furnish feed for the animals during the fair period Freight will also be paid on the animals ono way to or from the point of shipping to Juneau,
 Many Will Exhibit
 .'T am of the belief that blue foxes will assume the same importantee f to our Fair that horses and cattle assume to the larger fairs in the States. We expect at least 10 ex- hibitors in the fox department this year. J L. Hill. the Sullivan Island fox rancher, was the first rancher to enter his animals, he will exhibit one dog, one vixen and one litter oi puppies Several of the most prom nent ranches in the Juneau district have signified their intention of enter | ing their animals for premiums I am sure that by the date for clos ling the entry list we shall have 6 large list of foxes entered. The entry l list closes in this department at noon Saturday, Sept 15. Exhibitors in this department must enter their foxes before this date in order thai provision can be made for pens fol their foxes.
 Pairs as a rule are meeting places for men who are in the market for breeding stock and those who have 1 high grade animals for sale. Sale oi foxes will be permittea while the animals are on exhibit in the show rbom. No commissions or any other charges will be made on any sales that may be made during the fair.
 Gets Wide Publicity
 "The Southeastern Alaska Fair Is becoming widely advertised. We re 1 ceived a letter on one of the last boats, from Miss Mabel Cole, ol Iowa Falls, Iowa. Miss Cole is anxious to enter some art paintings and exhibit them at the fair Another letter came by the same mail, from colored jubilee troupe of St. Louis who would like to come to Juneau and assist us in entertaining the visi l tors to the fair."". a 4 '#

PLAN
ELIMINATION OF
FORD AND M'ADOO

WASHINGTON, September IL
A democratic coalition against
Henry Ford and William G. McAdoo
is being formed by hackers of
other democratic asrirants.
The Underwood, Ralston and AL
Smith campaign strategists are talk
ing about such coalition. Their
plan is to eliminate Ford and Me-
Adoo and then fight it out among
themselves for the nomination.
AS result the air about the de-
mocratic headquarters here is full of
rumOrs and mystery. Tom Taggart,
Indiana democratic chieftain, George
Brennan, Illinois; Ed Moore, Ohio; 4;
Robert Scott of Pennsylvania, all
noted democratic strategists, have
been fitting about Washington
mysteriously for the past few days,
keeping themselves and their acti-
vities under cover.
The whole situation promises an
increase in democratic activity with
in the next 60 days which may go
far towards determining the lineup
in the 1924 convention. Some of
the visiting democratic chieftains
brought confidential word here that
there that FordMcAdOO coalition
was being worked out in certain
localities. This appears to be in
line with the plans Of the McAdoo
forces to use Ford IS undoubted pop
pular strength to put McAdoo over
as the democratic nominee. McAdOo
men have been spreading the word
among organizers of Ford sentiment
that Ford will not accept the NOM
ination even if it is offered him;
that he will certainly make no fight
to get it and that the hope of the
progressive elements in the democra-
tic party lies in combining behind
McAdOO.
But they have also advised the
Ford workers to go on organizing
for Ford, with the idea of masking
McAdoo's real strength until con-
vention time.

kind of quick understanding from
seeing so many fights lately.
But, no kidding, I certainly gotta
shock when / seen Demsey on acct
he had brushed his hair and when
he took off his kimono and stood up
there with his neat hair and his b.
V. DIS. [ got worried right away,
for it didn It seem natural for him
to be all slicked up like that.
But, Oh, girls; you had ought to
have seen Angle Firpo in the cutest
black and white Scotch negligee
and when he took it off he had on
lavendar pants. But that WASH IT
the best thing about him. The best
thing about him was undoubtedly
his perfectly lovely permanent
wave. He had one of these new
French bobs-you know, kinda short
in back but long towards the front
aand every curl a success. He must
of suffered hours to get it but he
didn't seem bit discouraged and
1 would judge he was letting his
beard grow with view to putting
permanent wave in that too.
Jack Careless Like
Well, the minute Jack seen that
wave he got so darn mad he went
right after it like a peace confer
ence in full action and for one
round, why the two of them took
turns setting down on the floor to
get their breath, Firpo taking about
four turns to Jack s one. And at
the end of it Jack went to his cor
ner like he didn It much care where
they sent the remains. But the next
round things was suddenly differ

Tered threw away their and other
peoples hats and it certainly was a
snappy round, judging from what
we heard other people say, telling
what they heard from somebody
else. The best description / had
was something about short jabs
and these spaghetti wrestlers they
can't fight like Americans do in
the subway coming down.
Take it buy and charge, the most
brutal part of this fight, see, was
done by the audience trying to get
in and out the Polo Grounds and the
worst of the fight was not on the
Mat but at the gates. And while
| certainly am now fight fan, I
got a strong prejudice in favor of
seeing a fight when I go to see it
and getting out of the place with
out first having to club police
man half to death to do it.
