Tho Missouri State Fair.


The State Fair has surpassed all other
like institutions in offering two thousand
dollars in prizes on Shorthorn cattle,
large sums are offered on all other beef
breeds. These liberal premiums viii not
only bring all the great herds Of Missouri
but the leading herds from all other
states. The State Fair will furnish an
opportunity to see the great prize win
ners Of the world. Many animals valued
at from ten to twenty thousand dollars
will be on exhibition. Kansas, Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio have already
indicated that they will be on hand with
their best animals. Champion herds that
have won from Texas to Maine, win be at
the Fair. Missourians with herds that
won at Chicago and Omaha expositions
and at every State Fair in the Union will
be in the heat Of the big show. Herds
from other states will be fairly treated,
Missourians don't know how to treatthem
otherwise, but If they win over Missouri
herds they win have some recollection Of
having been at red hot cattle show.

EDITOR Press:
As / have not seen anything in
THE PREss from Oklahoma in some
time, I thought ! would give you q
few items.
We have one Of the finest wheat
crops we have ever raised in this
part Of Oklahoma. We are in the
midst Of harvest here, but 40 miles
east they are done. l drove 86
miles yesterday and counted "a
headers and binders at work.
DIR. Norman, Of Jet, told me that
in driving from Jet to Pond creek,
l6 miles, he counted so headers and
binders atswork one day. One man
used 1865 pounds Of twine binding
I95 acres of wheat. People are talk
ing 50 and 40 bushels per acre.
Much loss has resulted from hail
and wind-storms; in places there il
nothing left. / saw wheat field
which was in head when the storm
passed over it, after which there was
nothing to indicate that the field
had ever grown q crop, so complett
was the destruction.
Alfalfa is good--second crop il
ready to cut. Corn is late, buI
looks well. Oats---the finest Ievel
saw; many crops of oats are being
harvested befare the wheat.

Suit has been entered in the cir

rardeau 4 Jackson Gravel Road Co.,
and the Rock Road Co., to oust
them from the control Of the roads
over which they are charging toll.
The suit is brought by the business

The charge is that the companies
are maintaining a public nuisance
in keeping the tollgates up and the
suit is, therefore, brought in the
name Of the state and thru Proseu-
ting Attorney Hines. The litiga.
