ANOTHER WORLDS FAIR

Chicago is planning another Worlds fair, to be
held in 1884 1887. The dates are significant in
Chiacgos history The earlier date is said to be
the sem-centennal anniversary of her incorporation
a village, and the latter, of her city charter.
All the world remembers Chcagos great fair of
1894. That definitely established the Windy Citys
reputation as a hustling community and dynamic
trade center 1t also set standard for subsequent
hibitons which has hardly been equaled yet It rests
with the new, great, marvellous city Lake Mchi-
half station between east and west and gate
of continental traffic from the four points of the
compass to beat her record She may be depend
ed on to do that.
The setting Of this exposition will be i'm
pressve. The present plan is to place it the ctys
lake front. between the beach and the skyscrapers
from Grant Park to Jackson Park. That would give
the fair itself remarkable stage for display and
would also show advantageously to fair patrons the
grandeur that is Chicago's.
1t is time for more of these great national expos-
toHs. There should be other cities getting read to
follow Chicago's example.

Black Feet
Programs Make
Great Progress

Washington, d. c., Jan. 24.-Fran-
els NJ. Goodwin, assistant secretary
of the interior, is amazed by the re-
suits of the five-year social and
economic program being operated
among the Blackfeet Indians on the
Glacier National Park Reservation
This program comprises, among 9TH
er measures, the organization of the
tribes groups into CD chapter;
(2) districts, and CD tribal organi-
cations, and the handspring Of the
system is largely emulation.
1t was with great pride and plea
sure last fall that these Indians
marched in with flying banners to
the chapter assembly and told Su-
perintendent Campbell what they had
accomplished in economic and so
cial progress. Last summer so pc,
cent of them raised enough ROOT
crops to carry them through the win
ter and each had surplus of flour
to sell. They took much pride il
their well-stored warehouse and il
their thriving pigs and chickens.
And yet only four years ago Uncle
Sam feared he would have to pu
those Indians on rations, so meagel
was their husbandry.
