' Patten pleaded guilty last February to the sixth count of the indictment known as the "contract count," which alleged ,that the defendants entered Into contracts to buy up all the raw cotton produced In 1909 and to hold out of the market - until November, 1910. He was fined 4 000 and under an ugreement between his counsel and the department of Justice the other ciilujt in' the lnicJtment vcre nojlrd.

Mr. Weaver stated that in previous years the farmers have neglected to a great extent to begin' thinking about the fair early enough In the season, and for this reason have failed to se cure from their fields products for ex hiblt that it 1s impossible to get later on. Just now, he nays. Is the time to collect exhibits of oats, wheat, orchard grass, meadow grass and other val uable exhibits, and he has been im pressing the' fact on all the farmers in the territory which he has visited thus far. They have come to a reali zation of the fact that they must be gin early and the beginning of an ear ly campaign for better exhibits is al ready showing results. During the paqt years of the fair here a great many farmers have been heard to remark while viewing ex hibits that if they had known of the quality of a certain product that was being shown they could have entered one much . better. That has been a decided weakness, and Mr. Weaver is endeavoring to have every farmer in the rection have enough Interest In the fair to enter his exhibits, whether he tnrnfts- im-wiir wrn'oi-hot. -He-Ts ne ly to win, but if he does not he -will receive a great deal of benefit by comparison with a better product, The fair, Mr. Weaver says, Is pri marily for the benefit of the farmer, and he proposes this year to make it accomplish the purpose for which It was organized If hard work will do It. All he desires Is the co-operation of everybody farmers and all. OF Fifty Graduate Nurses Are Candidates Nurses As sociation Also Meets.
