whole matter and says the governor
had been told over the phone that
there could be no change in length
OF speeches without Mr.. Williams
consent, as the time for the princi-
pa! speeches had been fixed at one
hour and a half each; that Gov. Var

not come to Meridian TO enter into a

Prof. A. F. Order, who is the
chief director Of the Mississippi geo
logical commission Of the United
State geological survey, is enthusi-
astic over the prospects Of retaining
thousands Of acres Of the swamp
IN the delta Of this state.
Drainage and good roads will do
more for the delta than all other
agencies combined" says Professor
Order. "The introduction Of the
drainage and canal systems, proper
ly constructed, will largely eliminate
the element Of uncertainty with
which the crops Of the Delta now
suffer, enabling the farmers TO plant
their crops flat, thereby saving much
time and energy In working them.
1t will take but a short time, after
the organization Of the drainage
districts, TO secure the best element
Of labor in the country, and this
will be followed by intensified farm
ing, a form OF agriculture with which
the delta is but little acquainted.
Furthermore. good drainage will
render it possible for the farmers TO
diversity their crops. The super
fluffy Of water has been a most
troublesome element 10 contend with,
keeping the farmer always pressed
for time but with drainage the farm
ers will be able to do a great deal OF
winter blowing and thus get their
crops planted much earlier than
heretofore"

Magnolia, Miss. July Let be al

has been the proud boast Of the
Magnolia Gazette, has capitulated .
Until last night the voters in this
community were being led to be-
lieye that Governor Vardaman v ould
carry this town and county by an
overwhelming majority. The Var
daman men said so, and of Cd urse
nobody doubted their word.
A few faithful followers Of Con-
gresham John Sharp Williams con-
ceiyed the idea, however, that it
would be a good thing to band TO-
gether against the enemy, as the
Vardaman men were threatening to
move them out of town, and acco rd-
ingly a mass meeting was called to
assemble at the court house last
night for the purpose Of forming a
Williams club.
There are l05 qualified voters
within the corporate limits Of Mag
nolia, OF whom five are negroes. The
mass meeting was called 10 order at
eight o'clock, and a few minutes lat
or the names Of ninety-two voters
were signed 10 the roll, pledging|
their support to the democratic min
ority leader,
A missionary campaign was then
launched, and several of the uncorl-
verted were then brought to the

| College, is Judging the butter. Merritt
Greene is superintendent of the agri-
cultural and dairy department.
And the fruits. Fruits are one of the
! big features of Agricultural Hall, and
I. z. Low, the superintendent of the
horticultural department and pantry
stores. takes as much interest in every
display as tho he had raised everything
in the exhibit himself. Apples, plums,
grapes, and if you please, peaches and
pears all testify to the resources OF
Marshall county orchards. Strawber-
ries, too. picked the opening day of the
| fair, an evcr-bearng variety that
shows the blossoms still out In Sep
tember. This display is furnished by
Harlow Rockhll. of Vienna township.
Professor Jones, of the agricultural de-
partment OF Iowa State College, de-
clared yesterday that many of the APP
pie specimens We're finer than those
shown at the state fair.
Another feature that Is attracting at
tention is the apiary display showing
the bees at work and their product.
Preserved fruits, and pantry stores,
jellies and ali the good things that de-
light the housewife, are shown in great
abundance. Another interesting dis
play is that of cut flowers, which adorn
Agricultural Hall. Last year there
We're but three entries of cut flowers.
This, year over 100 different displays
have been entered.
AT Floral Hall. which is more prop
erly an art hall. the scene is one Of
richness and splendor. There are many
displays of great interest here, and the
visitor can not help but marvel at the
handiwork. especially of children.
A feature display in this building is
the work Of the public schools. The
Marshalltown schools. naturally occu-
ply the greatest amount Of space, but
the work of the Albion and Gilman
schools. as well as the rural schools OF
the county. are also shown. This, at
tracts great enthusiasm. The manual
training exhibit of the Marshalltown
schools is most interesting. as well as
the work in drawing. In the manual

training section the two displays OF
superior handiWork are a mission table,
made by Herman Gabelman, and
music cabinet, built by Ray Andrews.
The Central Iowa Business College also
has very thorough and creditable dis
play.
China painting, typography, the fine
arts, art needle work, all combine to
make the display in this building most
attractive. Some exquisite work IN
china painting is shown, and in burnt
wood. and the display Of needle work
can not fail to prove of much interest
to every woman who enjoys handiwork
OF this sort Some beautiful work is
also shown in oil and water colors,
crayon and pastel.
G. HI. Van Law is superintendent of
Floral Hall, and has assistants In the
persons of Jud Morrissey. Mrs. Fanny
Schocnhut, and Miss Belle Classen.
In both the Agricultural Hall and
Floral Hall an orchestra plays turnout
the entire day.
The cattle department attracted a
vast amount of attention on the OPEN
ing day and Superintendent S. B.
Packard and his assistants were kept
busy explaining points of merit to the
laymen. The Shorthorns lead in the
display, the Aberdeen Angus are sec
ond, and the Herefords third.
In the horse barns there was great
interest manifested, and the display
is worthy of an exhibition larger than
county fair. Percherons lead in the
exhibit, and the roadsters are second.
There Is noticeable lack of Clydes
and Shires this year. A great many
Shetland ponies are shown this year,
and they command the attention Of the
little people. c. B. Damien, of Mel

of Percherons, and c. A. Rolston of

lf you are only willing to admit II, YOU
will say to yourself. after visit to
Agricultural Hall. 81 never realized
that Marshall county produced such a
varied assortment Of products" Here
is one building above all others that
should command the attention of the
fair visitor-especlnlly the visitor who
lives In Marshall county and is inter-
ested in her resources.
Agricultural Hall Is not the only
place of interest on the grounds, by
any means, but 1t Is one of the big
features. The sight that greets the
eye is one that will make the mouth
water unless the individual Is afflicted
with chronic dyspepsia. The interior
of the building eclipses any fruit and
market place in existence. and rivals
the grocer and baker in the display of
tempting edibles.
Don't miss seeing the county farm
exhibit, and see ii you aren't proud to
live in county where such products
can be grown. Vegetables. fruits,
grains--in fact, everything this soil
and climate produces--is there in
abundance. This exhibit is not entered
for competition, but to give the peo-
pie of Marshall county and their
friends from a distance glimpse into
the fertility of Marshall county soil
properly cultivated
OF course the agricultural depart
ment offers big dis play, for this is
an agricultural county. All of the
products of the field are shown in
great numbers. as well as those of the
garden. A. e. Quaife. of Ionia, an Iowa
State College student, is judging the
agricultural products.
Never was there any better proof
that creamery would flourish in
Marshall county than the exhibit of
butter made by farmers wives. Cream
that makes the kind of butter shown in
this exhibit would net the farmer big
money If sold to lirst-class cream
cry. Last year at the fair there were
two exhibits of country butter. This
year thirty-six disp avs are entered.
