Small Credit* Prats With Building Big Fa*r at Kankakee. Newspapers and newspaper advertising are given credit for doing more than any other single agency In building up the great agricultural fairs and expositions of the country by Governor Len Small of Illinois. Governor Small is the active Secretary of the Kankakee Inter-State Fair, having directed Its growth for more than 80 years and has had much to do with the building of the Illinois State Fair. The Governor wae asked to what he attributed the success and almost phenomenal growth of the Kankakee fair. "*I will tell you," fee said, "what I learned several years ago and what I have said on this same subject on numerous other occasion* when I have been asked. "The newspapers have done more than any other one thing to build up our fair at Kankakee. I believe that I could with safety go a step further and say that I believe they have been the greatest factor In the succeas of the other fairs of the country. "To grow, a fair must have a wider circle of friends and draw its patrons from a wider radius each year. To do this the good qualities of the fair must be known to more people. Of course the merits of an Institution will become known by word of mouth, but In this as well as In other Unes of endeavor where publicity counts, the rapidity of growth depends -upon good advertising. Is the earlier history ef Governor Len Small the fltfr we tried all the approved media of advertising, but our experiments all proved the superiority of newspaper advertising Moat of oar money spent for advertising now goea to the newspapers. "Our policy has been to make the fair better each season and to see to it that more people learn about It each year. The friendly attitude of the preM of Illinois and adjoining states to educational exhibits and clean amusement has been of great value to the fairs all over this section of the country. I have always found that when we have had anything of real news value to offer to the newspapers It was eagerly received and treated as such by editors, much to our advantage and their own, too, I believe. "If I were to attempt to promote a great agricultural fair or any other worthy Institution which depends upon the public for support, I would gather together the very best talent I could buy and then tell the exact truth la the newspapers. It pays." Governor Small could have pointed to the steady growth of the Kankakee Inter-State Fair as proof of the soundness of his theory. For many years the gate receipts have mounted higher each season and the management is preparing to receive larger crowds than ever this year daring tike Ave days. Sept 14 to 18.

J. Malcomson, street lighting engineer of the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois. "It has been said that one street lamp is worth ten policemen," he says. "It is evident that the elimination of the undesirable conditions of dangerous, dimly lighted streets is of inestimable value. In one town crimes commits in a newly lighted district decreased nine per cent." Mr. Malcom says that a recent investigation of municipal financing disclosed the rather startling fact that while 21 cents of each dollar is spent for protection--police, fire, etc.,--only Matter of Evidence V One of the attorneys for Steve Beck in his recent trial in criminal court on a charge of manslaughter was questioning a man for jury service in the case.
