The State FAIR.

While you are planning your seasons
vacations and pleasure trips, and even
business trips, don't forget the State Fair,
which will be held on the beautiful grounds
of the exposition company in the city of
Detroit, Sept. 1921.
The location and arrangement of the
grounds afford splendid opportunities for
comfort and pleasure. The main building
is one of the finest fair buildings i'm the
world, and affords one of the most beautiful
and enjoyable views of the city of Detroit
the Detroit river, its American and Cana
dian shores, and the Canadian towns of
Windsor and Sandwich.
There will be six days of races with good
purses and many noted horses in the list;
also two days Of bicycle races. The Art
Exhibit will be one of the finest ever seen
at fair in Michigan. In fact exhibits in
he various departments will be complete
and very interesting and instructive. Espec-
tally so to farmers will be the grand show
of live stock, and we expect to see in the
sheep department such an exhibit of the
somewhat new and numerous breeds of
sheep now in the state as will be highly ap-
preciated even in these times of che eap wool
and slaughtering of flocks. All should
make an effort to attend the State Fair and
thus aid in making it success and a credit
to this grand and beautiful state-"Our

The Coming Caucus.

Another caucus on the string,
And candidates are on the wing,
While heelers sweetly to them sing
What caucus packing they will bring
In devious ways.

But keeps the GOLDEN text in mind,
And Whippersnapper's wondrous kind,

How much they bleed.

Remember you're not in the play
Unless you see them right away,
These big headlights.
The one who most deserves his pay
Is he who fights.
They'll buy you votes; dollar each
What matter If the boys do peach?
If by this means they only reach
Their one desire
To suck you dry, just as leech,
While you admire.
They'll run the caucus with a swell,
Bossed by Pomposity O'Dell,
The Whippersnapper, none excel
In this small city;
His GOLDEN deeds may save from -, WELL
All! What pity.
With tricks and lies, deceive the crowd,
ODell will strut and roar aloud,
So egotistically proud,
To fright he thinks
All who have not already bowed
To chinlx and drink
You think you'll win; well if you're wise,
A dav will come to ope your eyes,
You'll lack in votes to your SURPRISE
Your moneys fled
No friends now ever hear your cries.
You're with the dead.
Such tactics never will get votes
On lection day off come the coats,
For honest men are taking notes.

The choice OF all such whislxey bloats
Will long regret it. NEsTOR
