THINGS LOOK CHEERFUL.
All Departments of the State Fair
Will BE PatrOnized.

Secretary Kennedy of the State Board of
Agriculture is in receipt of communications
form various sources which go to show
that the only department that ever had
any indication of falling short at the fair
this year-the mechanical department-will
be equal if not better than any preceding
year. Since the list, giving notice that
space could be assigned, has been put in
circulation the numerous applications
from local and foreign merchants and
manufacturers prove that the exhibit can
not fan short. Local dealers say that the
fair affords them too good a market for
their goods for them to ignore IL and thus
deprive themselves of an opportunity
which is so profitable.
1t was thought by some that the world s
fair would detract from this years state
fair to such an extent that many of the
departments would materially suffer for ex-
hibits. Present indications are that the
worlds fair will have the opposite effect
upon the state fair and that instead of
driving exhibitors away, 1t will secure for
the state fair a number of foreign exhibits
which otherwise could not afford to come
here A letter has been received from D.
F. Wilbur owner of the famous Pauline
Paul the Holstein Fresan COW. which
holds the worlds record against all breeds.
her record being 1913 pounds 1881 ounces in
one year. Mr.. Wilbur will make a large
exhibit here, after which he will go to the
worlds fair.

A Talk About Farm Life and Cabbage

Dear II. L. c.. Friends-I have sent i'm
two letters in the past six weeks and
they do not appear on the page. 1 will
try again. l see the page looks kind Of
hungry and slim. but it looks full this
week.

Gle since Paul Quace" mounted his hob
by and rode round the ring, tramping
farmers in the dirt, but l. on second
thought saw what l always said-that
a farmers life is fun of labor but there
is no more Independent a life than his,
provided he keeps out of debt Oh, We
tOiling slaves to some employer, you are
liable TO be discharged any day or your
business fail, but the farmer is his own
employer if he owns the farm. If all
people quit farming / think some of you
would get as hungry as the sailor who
ate the leaves of his bible and said it
tasted as good, after going nine days
without food, as bread and meat did at
regular meals. Now Paul just stop
and look at both sides of the case and
remember every cloud has a lining If it
is dark. You will be apt TO see a bright
lining if you look, but no one is so
blind as those that don't want to see a
certain point.

a farmers wife; so am L, and 1 will

way to get rid of it? / know many peo-

invented the cabbage worm killer. Every

precious one from us has flown.
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can We filled.
Ottie dear has gone to heaven,
He is free from pain and care;
For God tells us in His bible
That there is no suffering there"
We watched beside his little crib;
We watched by night and day,
Till death came along with sickle keen
And took our babe away.
Brother Guy and sister Bertha,
Cities merry laugh will miss,
But they know that he is resting
In a better land than this.
Fond parents, too. will miss their darling
Whom they loved and cherished here;
May God give them strength and courag,
In this bitter grief they bear.
Little Ottie now is resting,
He will be seen on earth no more,
But we should all prepare TO meet him
On that happy golden shore.

The clouds. like shadows drift awayy
But as the sunshine, bright and CHEEKY,
The little bird in the hoddden gray.
And list. a gush of music thrilling,
Our heart so full OF wild unrest;
On blossoming spray behold her swinging,
Queen of her home, the sill-lined nest.
And watch and ward DER her treasures

Three tiny eggs of pearly white,
And soon from their pretty prison creep

Three birds will take their upward flight.
