Despite | — the fact that this country is at war, and that conditions are not so good as they might be otherwise, the only exhibit to suffer in size was the | cattle exhibit, and that made up in quality what it lost in quantity. | All other exhibits exceeded in size the displays of previous years.

Many people in Wyo- ming had read of the new machine guns, an all-American invention, | which has been such a tremendous help to the Allied armies, but few had ever had an opportunity of ex- amining one at any closer range than the movie screen. This gun and many others, including a captured) German rifle, were on exhibition. | Gas masks of all makes, periscopes, < shells, big sea mines, the Big Rrowning machine gun, another con tr bution of American genius, hand grenades, a vicious little engine of death, and various other weapons of - death. A Another part of this exhibition was | ‘the Bureau of Mine demonstration given in a railway car on the track near the fair entrance and in the building erected for this purpose at | the fair grounds. The latest and most improved methods and machines used in resusicating miners who have _been suffocated by poison gasses in mines were demonstrated by trained aides. Pulmotors, lungmotors, and other machines were used in this work. | so large as usual, was a fine one. The stock was in good condition and of fine quality. Mrs. H. C. Miller had charge of the dairy department and had some fine country~ butter and cheese to show. The freight rates on the railroads and the congestion of the shipping facilities were probably the cause of the decrease in the size of the exhibit.

Food conservation, canning| farm machinery that saves time and} material, and the war exhibition all} ‘had their devotees. All premiums amount to $5 or under were paid, by unanimous consent of the commissi- oners, in War Savings and Thrift ~stamps. Campers were encouraged .and auto parties from a distance .found excellent camping facilities on *the land in the vicinity of the fair ‘ground. One could see more aid learn more for the amount of money ,expended at the fair than in aimost ‘any other” way. Women visitors “swamped” their favorite recipts for bread without flour and cake “without sugar, while the men folks ‘talked crops and cattle and the price of wool. The educational exhibition under Mrs. H. P. Allen, commissioner in charge, and superintended by Mrs. ~€; E. Winter of Casper, consisted of rural, county and city school work. Original designs in pen, crayon, char- coal and water colors were promi- nent, clay modeling, textile weaving. school work of all kinds, manual training and domestic art displays and essays on farm machinery and agricultural subiects were all in the list. AGRICULTURE IMMENSE The agricultural display, tended by Charles R. Mason. Grains, seeds and individual and collective ex- hibits of garden products made an excellent showing. War gardens oc- evpied a prominent part in this branch. Dry farming products were included and the products were rrown without irrigation of any kind. First, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth prizes were offered. and the commis- sion ran out of ribbons entirely and shad to improvise prize ribbons. Horticulture, under the supervis- jon of Frank Julian of Casper, showed ap fine. Mr, Julian carried away a number of the prizes, capturing some $130 worth of prizes on his fruit dis- play. Natrona County and Bie Horn County were the biggest exhibitors. Boys and girls under the age of 11 ‘years had a display under the direc- tion of Mrs. Mary McNamara. Ama- teur photography, drawings, crochet- ing, knitting, sewine, darning ‘and carpenter work were in the exhibit. Boys and girls’ clubs, with Ivan L. Hobson as state leader, made a good showing. The hackamore, pork, poul- trv. rardening, sheep, potato and can- ning clubs are among the young peo- ple’s clubs exhibiting. The canning elubs, five in number, gave demon- strations on the grounds, which in- terested hundreds of spectators.

Enacted six years ago as| the liberator from machine manipula- | tion and control of candidates, the| state primary law has made such a/ yoor showing that its repeal by the! egislature in January appears cer-/ tain. | Thirty-five per cent of the elector- ate participated in the first state pri-| mary, 25 per cent in the one two years later—and less than 20 per cent in the recent primary, altho here were contests for United tSates | senator, governor and other offices.

The Republicans | jhas three candidates for governor, | three for state superintendent and} ‘wo for state treasurer, and polled | approximately 8 per cent of the vote.| These figures, it is pointed out, really | tmount to an_ expréssion from a less a1umber of voters than under the old zonvention system. The state primary law has disrupt- ed party organization and done away yith machine control. it is true, but} has brot nothing to take the place of he judgment of a convention. The louble expense and woeful lack of nterest in the primaries have made t impossible to induce good men to | nediocre ability at that—and his se- lection at the primary by other like candidates and their friends. In a few instances under the state’ pri- mary have candidates for important offices been selected by what could n any sense be termed the judgment of the people. The Wyoming primary was enact- ed six years ago and is modeled after that of Oregon. Two years ago the state senate passed a bill uncondition- ally repealing it. When this measure came to the house, however, leaders of both parties fearing that the peo- ple might call them to account for eperation for good, the law will be repealed when the assembly meets in to ote cte tee te oe ee ho a a PRO U IU OU OU PC OU PU OU eT Oe eee xa k3 K? + .o*, Me M aXe + They are now serving at Camp} nstances.
