The Montana State Fair Helena, Montana, Sept. 11913 (Special): Favorable reports have been received from all quarters of the state which are leading Secretary Breitenstein, of the Montana State Fair, to believe that the county collec tive exhibits in 1913 will be more pretentious than ever before, and, as it is mainly the county exhibits from over the state that make the Treasure State's exposition a success, there is every reason to believe that the Montana State Fair will be big ger and better than ever. The county displays at the fair are known to excel those of any state fair in the United States, this being caused by the handsome prizes that are offer ed to the various counties that have the opportunity to com pete for $2,375 in prizes. Montana's thirty-four counties represent thirty-three million acres of farm land which pro duces a more per acre yield on all hardy grains than any other commonwealth in the country.

Foreign governments will be noti fied of the action of the United States so that they may give similar advice, but the American consuls will help all foreigners in any emergency.
