the STATE FAIR WILL
Be A GREAT SUCCESS.
Unquestionably This Years Exhibition
Will SurpasS Anything Seen
Here In The Past.

The state falr TINS year promises 10
be the best ever held. In all the de-
partments there will be special features
that will surpass anything attempted i'll
previous years, and in every branch of
the institu ion new methods of exhibits
will be noticeable. The board of COM
missioners are now putting in great
deal of work getting things in shape for
the big event and nothing will be left
undone that will likely bring success.
Owing to the fact that but little expense
was necessary on the grounds this year,
as was the case last, better premiums
have been offered in every department.
This alone will insure good exhibit
from all parts of the state.
1t is in the live stock department
where the most noticeable change will
be. Applications for stalls are now COM
ing in rapidly and from indications it
looks as though there will be thribble
the display over that of last year. Beef
and dairy breeds of cattle will predom-
mate among the live stock, while draft
horses and roadsters will be well repres-
ented, with Washington, Oregon and
British Columbia competing for the
good prizes.
Among the big herds to be'exhibited
will be one from the John Sparks fam
Gus Alama ranch at Reno, Nevada. He
will place on exhibition here the finest
lot of Herefords ever seen in the state;
and among the Red Polled breeders will
be 5. A. Converse of Cresco, Iowa,
Frank Brown of North Yamhill and w.
O. Winner of Hepner, Oregon, will ex-
hibit Shorthorns. +. A. French of Port
land will have herd of Brown Swiss i'll
the stalls, and Frank Padget, recently of
Missouri, but now of North Yakima,
will have for the first time in the history
OF the fair fine herd of Aberdeen-Angus
sey stock exhibits will be T. F. Griffith,

ton exhibit OF Jerseys, Guernseys and
Berkshire pigs; and J. Z. Shannon OF
North Yakima will have combination
exhibit of Polled Durhams and Jerseys.
There will also be number OF other
stock exhibitors.
Among the counties already signifying
their intention to make big display are
Clark, Columbia, Chelan, Walla Walla
and Yakima. There will be special ex-
hibits from numerous manufacturers Of
the state and country. The stake races
have eleven horses entered in one and
fourteen in another which, with good
list of regular races, intersperced with
the famous Indian runners of the Yak
ina and other tribes visiting here in the
hop picking season, promises a fine ex-
hibition to all lovers OF the horse.
Cheap excursions will be run from all
points in the state. Anybody wishing a
premium list can procure 1t free by ad-
dressing 7. B. Gum, Secretary, North

the fourth shot, it is pretty good shoot

and 18th in nearly all parts of the state,
stopping the forest fires, laying the heavy
dust, and reviving dropping vegetation.
Pastures were greatly freshened up, root
crops much benefited, and hops and
fruit improved.
The rain was beneficial to sugar beets
in Spokane county. 1t interrupted
wheat cutting some, but was not heavy
enough to do any damage to the grain,
except to slightly bleach it. Reports
vary as to the quantity and quality of
the wheat Yield, but generally it is fair
average. In Spokane county cutting is
mostly done, and threshing is well under
way. In Whitman county thereis still
much unripe grain. In the southeast
counties the dry, hot weather ripened
the wheat so rapidly that it was difficult
to keep up with the cutting.
The dry weather is believed to have
been hurtful to oats, and, to some extent,
to the potato crop. There is some COM
plant of rust and smut in oats. Fruit
and melons are now being shipped in
large quantities from the Wenatchee
aud Yakima districts. The hop crop is
promising; although the prospective
yield is not heavy, the quality is excellent.
Yakima Countrys-Toppenish--Hot
weather ripened potatoes rapidly. Yield
not much over one-half that of last year.
Canteloupes better quality than former
years, and moving at good prices.

Don Perignon, poor blind monk,
first thought of. cork for bottle stop
pers. He was employed in a royal
monastery as overseer of the extensive
vineyards, being himself a manufac-
turer. Indeed. it is said he discovered
by experimenting with wines and
grape juices that highly effervescing
beverage known as champagne. Ne
cessity in his case was doubtless the
mother Of his inventing the cork stop
per, for his champagne must have
needed better stopper than was then
used-merely a bunch Of fax soaked
In oil. Il he was the first to put cork
into a bottle, the world is indebted to
him, since its impermiability elastici-
ty and nghtness render it invaluable
for this use.

Smith," he cried, varen't you feeling

none of your business how I'm feeling"
Talk, about adding insult to injury I!
What could be any worse than asking a
man who had suffering stamped all over
him, uAren't you feeling well?"
It's rather hard for the dyspeptic to
make a stranger to the disease under
stand just how much suffering dyspepsia
can cause. Words don't express it.
That terrible gnawing sensation in the
stomach is past description. Even after
you have recited the specific aches and
pains there are no terms to express the
cumulative and combined effects of them
all upon both mind and body.
DON'T CULTIVATE DYSPEPSIA.
That would seem unnecessary advice,
yet it is fact that in the main, people
who finally become dyspeptics seem to
have studied how quickest to bring on
the disease. They eat irregularly. They
eat unwholesome or innutritious foods.
They eat heartily when they are tired
with days work and the stomach needs
rest instead Of exercise. In fact if they

general and its allied organs of diges-

When dyspepsia once has its grip on
the stomach the man who has expert.
mented with tablets and powders and
other palliatives without permanent re-
lief finds himself asking the question,
YAM I ever going to be well again so
that can eat with appetite and enjoy

The one necessity to the recovery OF
health is the cure Of the diseases Of the
stomach and other organs OF digestion
and nutrition. Tablets of soda, mint,
etc., will for the moment alter the con-
dition tn the stomach, but they won't
alter the condition of the stomach itself.
These things are therefore merely pal
Natives. Not only do they not cure but
by affording temporary relief they lull
the victim into false security until he
probably finds himself some day very
much worse for their use.

THE CHEERFUL IDIOT
And the Glum Dyspeptic.

The cheerful idiot is the individual
who when he sees you come into the
house dripping from the storm inquiries
pleasantly, us it raining?n If youwere
whiting and the knife slipped and cut
off the top of finger he would say just
as pleasantly, "Did you cut yourself? p"
1t seems the chief business in the life of
the cheerful idiot to ask fool questions.
Mostly people put up with him as they
do with mosquitoes-because they can't
help themselves. But once in while
the cheerful idiot runs up against the
wrong man. 1t was that way when the
G. /. OF the boarding house tackled a
