A FAIR WEEK
Exhibits Being Piaccd-More Of Them
Than Ever Before

thhibits Being Placcd-More Of Them
Than Ever Before
An idea of the magnitude of the
state fair, which is to be held at Lin
coin. August 20 to September 3. can
be found in the fact that Master Of
Transportation o. NJ. Druse states that
the number of carloads of exhibits this
Near will certainly exceed five hundred.
Mr.. Druse in former years has had
some lively times in unloading cars
at the fair grounds. One night last
year over three hundred were handled.
The total number of cars last year was
a little below 450. and so in the light of
the record being made in entries. MIR.
Druse is conservative in saying the five
hundred mark will be passed this year.
II must be remembered in addition to
this that hundreds of drayloads of eX-
hibits are taken to the grounds from
the city, so that eve the carload lots
only give approximately the magnitude
OF the great show.
Agricultural Instruction
" A number of the faculty of the state
university will give instruction at the
state fair in certain subjects pertain
ing to agriculture. The instruction
will be given by means of practical
demonstrations. 1t will be carried on
in a large tent directly west of the cat
tie barns. Each demonstration will be
held at a special hour on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of fair week.
Each Of the following demonstrations
will be given twice daily. the time for
each being limited to fifteen minutes:
At 10 and . o'clock, judging beef cat
tie and hogs.
At 10:45 and 2:45 O'Clock. judging
dairy cattle.
' At 1890 and $3.50 o'clock. eXamina-
tion of horse for soundness.
At 1915 and AIS o'clock. budding
and grating fruit trees.
At l and 5 o'clock. judging seed corn.
The public will be admitted for ff-
teen minutes preceding each emon-
stration, but not while any exercise is

Thenter Audiences.

Have you ever noticed that theater
audiences always assemble in the re-
verse order to the prices OF admission?
The cheapest seats are occupied first
and the most expensive ones last.
Those who go to the extreme back
upper perches are always on hand be-
fore the doors are open and wait with
heroic patience TO be admitted. Those
who occupy the seats little lower in
position and little higher in price
come next. Then the balcony begins
to fill from the back downward. from
10 cents seat in the back rows,
through 81 and S1.50 TO 81 down in
front.s
on the orchestra floor is the same
condition of affairs, those who occupy
the most expensive seats entering just
before the curtain rises or shortly after
IL is up. while the boxes are usually
not occupied until the first act is well
under way.-New York Herald.

"comm.nce, or .pep,n.y

Commence or begin? The best writ
ers, and the best speakers. also, prefer
"begin" TO commence" for all every
day purposes. The reason for this pref
erence is not, as some have said, that
''begin" is older, for commence" is Of
very respectable antiquity; nor is it,
as others have said, that "begin" is of
Anglo Saxon origin, for words of
French or Of Latin origin that have
been fully adopted into our language
are just as good English as native
words. 1t is rather that "begin" has
the strength of simplicity. whereas

 W. Hicks Mallory, cigar drummer from Memphis, who is known over the state as ''the baby finder," spent Thursday here calling on his trade. He is quite an interesting talker and the manner in which he became the finder of two infants, while in his travels over the state, is both anus ing and pathetic. One baby he found on the train near Marmaduke and the other at Bearden between Camden and Pine Bluff on the Cotton Belt. For both infants, he secured good homes, the last one being adopted by MT. and Mrs. J. D. Charlan of Pine Bluff, quite wealthy and refined peo- pie, who have made the baby their sole heir. MT. Mallory evidently has kind heart to put himself to so much trouble for such little homeless inno- cents, but he gives all the credit to others. He had nine applications for the last baby found, before o'clock next morning.
