FARMERS MONTH
AT WORLDS FAIR
Biggesf Department OF the Great Exposi.
ton Ready For the Inspection of the
Army of Men Who Made Its
Creation Possible.

Now that crops have been or are be-
ing laid by. the farmer prepares for his
trip to the Worlds Fair, a treat that
has long been promised him and for
which he has patiently waited. No ex-
position has offered so many induce
ments for the farmers presence as this
one at st. Louis. nor has any previous
exposition given the prominence and
space to the subject of agriculture.
August and September are ostensibly
the farmers months ut the Exposition,
for 1t is at this season that the agricul-
ture exhibits are the freshest and best.
Products of the new crops are pouring
into the booths from every state In the
Union. and additions are constantly
being made to the gorgeous display.
Headquarters for visiting farmers
may be found in every state section of
the great Agriculture Palace. but for
their special convenience there has Just

moderate priced rooms TO aid visiting
farmers and their families in procuring
accommodations.
The largest building on the grounds
is the Palace of Agriculture covering
twenty acres, while the Palace of Hor-
ticulture near by covers about a third
as much space. These two immense
structures are filled with exhibits of
the farm. garden and orchard of the
most extensive and elaborate character,
the principal countries Of the world
being represented.
Agriculture is given more prominence
than any other department at the Elk
position. the paramount Importance of
this great industry having been fully
appreciated from the very beginning
of the Worlds Fair movement
About seventy acres of ground are
covered by the agriculture and horti-
culture department at the Fair. large
outdoor spaces being devoted to this
industry Outside there are growing
crops, trees and flowers, an instructive

This AutOcrat Exists Solely by the
VIII of the People.
And 1t came to pass that in the very
tyrant ruled over a great country call
ed America. The name of this tyrant
was Everybodydoesit, and all the in
habitants of the land bowed themselves
to his will.
Terror OF the autocrat caused grown
men and women to cast aside every
dictate of common sense-sometimes
Of honesty as well. Children over
studied, wearing out precious eyesight,
cramping growing organs. yet mothers
whispered under their breath the name
OF Eyerybodydoesit and the evil went
on. Men bought houses and European
passages, automobiles and other ex-
pensiye Injuries, the cost of which was
out OF all proportion to their income.
"Everybodydoesit" was the explana-
ton they gave.
Sorriest Of all was the case of the
young girls. They patronized I'M
wholesome plays, read books produced
by diseased minds, they overdressed,
abandoned the gentle ideals Of their
mothers day and grew old before their
time. 'EyerybodydOesit, they said.
And thus 1t was In all classes of soci-
ETY. throughout the broad land. All

Stomach Dosing viii Not Cure.
Only Way to Cure Catarrh Is by
Breathing Hyomei.

Ask any physician If catarrh Is q
blood disease and he will tell you
that it is diseased condition of the
mucous membrane and that it cannot
be cured by blood purifiers, pills,
tablets, or other forms of stomach
dosing. The only sensible and scien-
tific way of curing catarrh is by the
use of Hyomei.
Breathed for a few minutes, four
or five times a day, through q hard
rubber inhaler that is 80 small that
it can be carried in the vest pocket,
Hyomei will absolutely destroy all
catarrhal germs and cure the disease.
Oatarrh can never exist where Hy-
omei is used. It has q two-fold nc

package of Hyomei he sells. that it

ports of remarkable cures of both
acute and chronic cases of catarrh by

SHIPS, ANCHORS.
The Change From Short, Straight

The Change From Short, Straight
F1ukes to Curved Arms.
The ships anchors in general use up
to the beginning Of the last century
consisted of long, round iron
shank, having two comparatively short
straight arms or flukes inclined to the
shank at an angle of about forty de
grees and meeting it in a somewhat
sharp point at the crown. In large an
chors the bulky wooden stock was built
up of several pieces, hoped together,
the whole tapering outward to the ends.
especially on the aft or cable side.
About the beginning of the last cen
fury a clerk in the Plymouth navy
yard, Perlng by name. suggested GER
tain Improvements, the most impOr-
tant of which was making the arms
curved instead of straight. At first
sight this simple change may seem of
little value, but consideration will show
this is not the case. The holding power
of an anchor depends OH two principal
conditions the extent of Use

to inquire iato the holding power of

labors was the adoption of the so called
admiralty pattern anchor. which con-

up to the year 1860.
The invention Of the steam hammer
In 1912 made the welding of heavy
masses of iron a comparatively easy
and reliable process SO that from this
time onward the strength of anchors
fully kept pace with that of the chain
cables. which had come into general
use. A number of patents for anchors
were taken out prior to the great exhi-
bition of 1851, and, public attention
having been called to the models there
shown in the following year, commit
tee was appointed by the admiralty to
report on the qualifications of anchors
of the various kinds.
