LARGEST AND FINEST"

Undoubtedly the largest and
finest in its history thus far will
be this years fair of the Western
Washington Fair association, at
Puyallup, October / to Z, both IN
elusive.
The big fair is becoming the ag-
ricultural, commercial and indust-
rial exposition of western Wash
ington, primarily helping the
farmers to be more successful,
more prosperous, and aiding in the
general development Of the EN-
pire that lies west of the Cascade
mountains.
One big feature of the fair This
year will be the historical pag-
cant, "The Vision" which in vast
and spendid realism will depict
with historic accuracy, the com
ing of the first settler into this
now famous west-of-the-mountains
section. This will be a great,
beautiful and edifying spectacle,
with 1900 people in the cast.
The opening day, October |,
will be childrens day, when all
school students under 10 will be
admitted to the grounds free of
charge. This year, for the first
time, the scholars of the public
schools of Thurston county and
those of King county will join with
those of Pierce county in cele-
brating childrens day.
New construction and rebuild
ing have added many improve
ments to the fair this year. The
new bleachers, facing the track
on the south side. will seat 1900
people. The horse department has
been amplifed until it now has
PA box stalls for exhibition
horses. The cattle department has
also been greatly enlarged.
The horticultural and agricult-
ural departments will be in new
quarters, a large building 10 by
230 feet, well lighted, with ce-
ment floors and especially adapt
ed to these departments. Former
exhibitors and new ones promise
that the exhibits of fruits, vege-
tables, and grains and grasses
this year will excel any heretofore

Smoke Screen From seapIane,

The use Of dense smoke clouds by
naval vessels for the purpose Of
screening battleshlps from the enemy,
has been practiced for a long time.
Fast destroyers are usually employed
to lay ice cloud of heavy smoke,
which is produced by regulating fuel
and draft in the main boilers. Recent
tests, however, have proved the
efficacy of seaplanes in this respect.
In fact, the seaplane has at least two
advantages over the destroyer: 1t can
lay screen much more rapidly 1t
can regulate the height of the screen
above water, and may make 1t com
pletely envelop an object by flying
over and around the latter. When a
seaplane is used for laying the screen,
the smoke results from the iutroduc-
ton into the exhaust pipe of chemi-
Gals that increase the volume as well
as the density of the exhaust gases.

In announcing the appointment,
of Mr.. Devine the Governor said:
"At this time-there are fourteen

the former candidates having with
drawn during the past month. l
have not only scanned with care the
references, record, and recommends
tons Of each of the candidates, but
l have sought the advice of those
active and interested in community
and state development work for the
purpose of determining which OF
these fourteen candidates was best
qualified by ability, education,
training, and practical experience in'
all phases of the work that should
be done by an immigration commits
soner, to take charge CT the. office
at this time and get the best results
for the State of North Dakota.
1T was realized by all that, with
the small appropriation made, no
deputy or additional men could be
employed and that therefore the
man to be appointed Commissioner
must be prepared to handle success
fully all phases Of the work; pre-
pairing letters and other advertising
materials; preparing exhibits, and
handling the office work, as we'll as
to have wide knowledge of the
State, it's soil, its people, and it's

acquaintanceship outside of the
State as to make it easier to secure
hearing for North Dakota's immi
grafton possibilities.
Checks Over Record
"Aftcr checking over the record
and recommendation of all of these
candidates and the advice secured
from the large number interested in
development work throughout the
State, l have come to the conclusion
that of all the candidates, Joseph
M. Devine has the best all-around
training for the work to be done. He
has been engaged in real estate bus
mess in the state for more than a
decade; he has, for couple of de-
'CitucS, DeeIl actively dIlu successfully

material for his own business, for
his community, and for the State,
to be used in boosting North Dako-

tions and possibilities Of the State;
he has for more than thirty years
been booster of diversified farm
ing; he has broad and compre-
hensive knowledge of the State and
wide acquaintanceship not only in
this State but in all the states from
which North Dakota will look for
most of it's immigration. With this
preparation, feel that he is espec-
tally well qualified to cooperate
helpfully with our various develop

State and to secure the best posi-

How To Control People
"Someone has said if you want to
control 4 people there are just two
ways of doing it-one is by coer-
cion and the other education. One
implies the application of external
force and the other the application
of ideas. One means a club to the
outside of the head and the other
facts on the inside. The former
has been the chief method pursued
during the greater part of human
history. A recent and notable case
is Russia, where, through a deliber-
ately planned and successfully car
ried out policy of assassination,
10000 Communists now control
about 14O,0OO,OOO people. Such is
the so-called dictatorship of the nro-
letariat. The application of ideas
is the method intended bS the
founders of the constitutional gov
eminent of the United States where
the leaders must first be informed
and then supported by intelligent
