Something for the Women.
The Minnesota State Federation Of
Women's Clubs will again keep open
house at the coming Minnesota State
Fair. Headquarters have been estab-
lished in the Club House-the same
building used for tho last two years
and committees of ladies will be in
charge every day during fair week.
There will be some very attractive
and useful exhibits of educational and
industrial work and programs, both
instructive and entertaining, will be
given each day. From four to five
each afternoon there will be social
hour, when tea will be served, =
The building is open to all wpmen,
whether members of affiliated clubs
or not, and the committee in charge
announces that it's members are espe-
cially anxious to meet every woman
interested in home and home-making!
The Federation headquarters will be
a delightful place for the woman who
visit the fair to rest and meet friends
or make new acquaintances. =

be Pains latest and greatest marvel at
pyrotechnic performance, 'The Siege
of Pekin." This spectacular drama
requires a stage 800 feet long, and
500 Yards of canvas are necessary for
the scenery. The play is founded on
the stirring events of year or 80
back in China and the piece closes
with a tremendous display OF fire
works. Each evening, before the pyrO-
technic performance, there are races
under electric light, specialties OF the
higher order and a fine band con

Good Roads at the Fair. III
For the fair of 1902 the manage
ment ia making broader plans than
ever before. One of the most import
ant of the new departures is the great
Good Roads. convention and road
building demonstration. This is mo
common good roads talking match
as some one has called certain efforts
in this line. The good roads move
ment which will be inaugurated at
the fair is backed by the Agricultural
Department of the United States gov
ernment. The government will send
to the fair grounds its famous Good
Roads Trains train of a dozen cars
loaded with the latest things in road
making machinery and apparatus
These machines will be unloaded at
the fair grounds and, under the di.
rections of government engineering
experts, a half mile or more of model
road will be built before the eyes OF
the visitors. Model roads in mac
adam, gravel and dirt will be con
structed, errors will be pointed out
and practical ideas disseminated. v
In fact, the practical will govern
and control at this good roads meet
Only practical methods will be talked
about or demonstrated. Persons with
theories will not be given hearing
Exnerieuce will be the authority
While the demonstrations of the rea
thing are going on on the fail
grounds, a convention will be held in
Institute hall, where the subject Will
be discussed by plain-speaking expert
authorities on good roads, and where
visitors will have an opportunity tc
ask questions. It is the intention tc
make the whole thing as useful as
possible to the people of the north
west.
Monday, of fair week, will be Good
Roads Day. The convention will last
fin Wednesday, but the demonstra'
tion work with the machinery will &c
on all the week.
Live Stock Exhibition. y
At this years fair exhibitions and
sales will be held by the American
Short-horn Breeders Association ano
the American Hereford Breeders As
ISOLATION. These great associations Of
stock growers, which are the richest
and most influential organizations Of
their kind in the world, make no ex
hibitions at any other state fairs
Thev are so gratified with the results
OF showing at the Minnesota fair thai
they will bring an increased number
of animals this year, while the auc
tion sales, which are a feature OF
these shows, will be crowded with thu
best from the finest herds in the coun
try.
The auction sales and judging Of
these cattle take place in two great
circus tents, which are put up neal
the cattle barns on the fair grounds
It is one of the most interesting
sights of the fair to see these magniti

6be RACES.
DISTRICT
FAIR WILL GIVE A CLEAN
EXHIBITION. NO POOL
SELLING.

A feature of the Worthington Fair
will be the speed contest. Good
purses, guaranteed by the. business
men of Worthington will be the
prizes sought.
There will be two trotting races
and at least ON running race each
afternoon Of the second and third
days.
What is more animated than the
rythmic even movements of the
iron muscles of well-trained hard
ened, thorough bred horses It is
no hardship for thea either; after
their months of practice they are 80
toughened to the work that racing
horses move off as easily a. a
machine. The care and training of
racing horses is reduced to an exact
science and they do their work
with such ease that itisa pleasure
to % them.
The management will not allow
pool selling nor allow other gambl-
ing devices on the grounds. Patrons
of the fair may expect to see clean
sport, as far as it can be made such.
The Fair commences September
10th and continues the 18th and 18th.
Reduced rates..will be given on
the railroads.
For a good clean exhibition come
to the Worthington District Fair
Sept, 10th, 18th, and 18TH.

THE WORTHINGTON DISTRICT
FAIR.

FAIR.
The dates for the Mobiles county
Fair are Sept. 10, II, and II.
That every person in >NoblBs
county is interested in this Fair goes
without dispute. This fair is given
under the newly organized corpora
ton called the Worthingon District
Fair Assertion.
Nearly every business man In
Worthington, many others and
lots of farmers have backed this
Fair by putting into it and taking
stock. The new grounds are centr-
ally located, in fact right in town,
about three blocks from the school
house and away from all railroad
tracks, doing away with the risk
of runaways by frightened horses.
The new buildings consist of large
well lighted main building or
"Floral Hall" conveniently located
near the track and stock buildings.
Next is a 2OO-foot long double
stock barn with alley down center
for fast and fancy horses. The
track is being given the finishing
touches, and work on it will continue
up to tho time the Fair begins.
An examination of the Premium
List reveals that any ambitious
person may find something to
exhibit. If he is not the possessor
of animal or product, something of
his own handiwiork, though
common to his line, would interest
others, and bring to the man suit
able reward.
STOCK EXHIBIT.
The towns of Mobiles county are
all country towns because they
are dependent on the stock an farm
ing interests. A trip over this and
surrounding country will satisfy
anyone that in addition to the best
of field products there is fine stock
in plenty. Prize winning horses,
cattle, hogs and sheep may be found
by the hundreds. Farmers and
stock breeders get the benefit from
a fair more than any one else.
Don t, in these times of plenty and
prosperity of high priced and fat
fields compare the thoughbred OK
hibition stock of today with that of
| a few years back. Then there arc
the numerous fowls Of all kinds. If
you have fine birds of any breed,
make up . coop and bring it in the
first day Of fair Sept. 1912: Pet
animals, thoroughbred dogs, rabbits,
colts, calves, pigs and lambs are
good to interest the boys. Of course,
comparisons will be made, but it
will be 81, no help, to- this fair to
compare it with any of the Mobiles
County Fairs. The old fairs had
their place, they accomplished some
thing, and the management did all
that coud be Gone with the means
at their disposal. Now, the country
is ,,richer rize-wtnning specimens
can bssf ound in every direction, and
every owner Of such lis earnestly
urged to fit them UP and enter
them the first day of the fair.

COPIES j. 8. SYSTEM
Great Britain Is Using Our
Military Standard.
GOOD WAGES, BETTER MEN
Broderick Is Compelled to
Acknowledge Our Superiority

London, March s.-The new army regu-
lations proposed by the war secretary
Mr.. Broderick. providing for increased
pay and other reforms, which have
created so much comment, appear to have
been directly copied from the United
States, Major Lee NJ p. formerly Brit
ish military attache at Washington, said
to a representative Of the Associated
Press:
AT last we have taken out a leaf from
your excellent book, though I did not be
lieve We had gone quite so far in that d.
rection as We might, or hope we nav.
Under Mr.. Brodericks proposed changes,
private in the British infantry now re-
ceives almost as much as q private in
the United States army. With this
change which I frequently advocated
while military attache at Washington,
we hope to get a class of recruits SINH
lar to those secured in America Under
the old pay We were generally lowering
the physical standard yet still finding It
hard to get men, while cur desertion per-
centage was increasing at q rate which
showed there was something wrong with
The system. The American army was
tho only voluntarily enlisted body in the
world with which we could make service
able comparisons, the continental armies
owing to CONSUMPTION and other causes
being perfectly worthless as examples.
a year ago Mr.. Broderfclt comhstted
the idea Of comparing US with the United
States. Now ne has changed his mind
and has done what the majority Of the
members Of the house, regardless Of
rarty, believe to he the very best thing
that could have happened 10 the army
since Mr.. Cardwen lin 1879 effected his
sweeping reforms. For the first time
Tommy" with everything considered as
well as higher pay, win be in a better
position than his agricultural brother
and from that class we ought now to get
the best instead Of the worst Yes. it
may hurt the agricultural interests, or
what IS left of it in England, but I do
not believe that this damage will be ser
ious as the evils which the change VIII
correct.
Not only is It interesting to not the
influence of the American system in these
sweeping changes, but they will have a
tremendous negative independence. The |
last year the government clearly indl-
Gated its fears that they might have to
revert to CONSUMPTION. The present
move banishes all possibility Of this. for
I understand M Broderick is willing to !
go still further in copying the United |
States excellent treatment Of enlisted |
men, and by liberal finance bond up the |
standard of the army. The increase in |
pay means an additional annual cost of |
about 5000, 600 but 1 maintain that it will /
be a direct saving of money for the bet 1
ter class of men secured, viii mean fewer |
men in the hospitals and prison cells as
well as obviating other forms of vast |
age and viii quickly make up for the ad-
outlay. Some day perhaps, we
may be able to adopt the sensible plan |
IF the United States of paying the en-
listed men of all arms at the same rate
