The cost of sUch a display making it prohibi tive in the eyes of the commissioners. This year, however, the state fair board has arranged another plan of financing such a proposition and have sent the following , self explanatory letter to the county commissioners: “Gentlemen: \This year presented a problem in economy to the Montana State Fair. We know you as a board are in po sition to realize the necessity of ac complishing the good which' a fair can do in the most economical way possible. This leads us this year to assume the cost of arranging and -displaying exhibits at the fair which heretofore has been borne by the counties. We do this because we realize you are up against the necessity of making every dollar count and because we feet that grouping of exhibits according to class and variety will make a show much more worth while to the indi vidual farmer. In the past it has cost counties a large sum of money to put on an elaborate display at Helena. This year the state fair takes over the big end of that cost Under the plan which you \will find described in the accom panying folder. The cost to each county will be confined to the nec essary expense of freight on the ex hibit to the fair and back and such provision as you may care to make for assembling the exhibits of the in dividual farmers in your county.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK DOG A TRAINED ACTOR There is a remarkable dog in Wil liam S. Hart’s new Paramount pict ure, “While Oak,” which comes to the Royal Theatre next Sunday and Monday. In the story, the canine carries a message from an emi grant train surrounded by Indians, through the circle of death to a pion eer settlement where Ook Miller, a gambler, impersonated by Mr. Hart, is in jail accused of murder. The dog follows the scent to the jail window and then helps Oak escape by digging a hole on the outside while the pris oner digs inside. Then the dog fol low« Oak who is mounted on a fast pony and both return to ¡.lie beleagur- ed wagon train where they arrive in the nick of time to save the emi grants from death. The dog is a. fine example of the intelligent canines employed in motion pictures.
