STEVENS POINT FAIR
Fine Agricultural Exhibit And
Race Meet to be Held in Port
ACE Countv.

One of the most notable fairs and
race meets to be held in central or
northern Wisconsin this season will
be open at Stevens Point from Sept.
10 to Is, inclusive. This is one of
the principal attraction in the great
Central Wisconsin Fair circuit and an
agricultural, manufacturing and race
exhibit surprising all previous records
has been arranged for. Stevens Point
has a race track unexcelled for speed,
and purses amounting to $4,000 are
offered. Many attractive amuse-
ment features have been engaged to
furnish entertainment for the less
seriously inclined. One of the most
valuable features will be the public
school section open to the pupils in
the graded schools of Portage county.
No fair association has taken up this
feature more thoroughly than at
Stevens Point and the cooperation
of parents and teachers as well as
students is asked in making it a real
success. A copy of the premium list
ought to be in every home. Those
not supplied may secure one by ad-
dressing G. L. Park, secretary, Stevens

CANNOT SEND MESSAGE
Telegraph Business Still at a
StandstiII,

The telegrapher's strike is reported
as cutting very little figure by the
telegraph companies, but so far it is
impossible to get any kind Of service
in Grand Rapids. The acceptance of
any message, is as it was two weeks
ago, subject to delay. The receipts of
messages at the local Office is very
small, and on the whole the business
done in the Grand Rapids office is
practically nothing.
From the larger cities comes the
claims of both sides. The strikers
claim victory, while the companies
are sending out word that business
has been resumed and everything is
flowing along smoothly. Anyone hav-
ing kilograms to send, however, from
this city, knows that there is very
serious lack of business resumption,
and in consequence business men are
still using the mails, or using the
long distance telephones.

Gambling il Rain.

Like the Chinese, the natives of
India are greatly addicted to gambling.
They have, indeed, one form of wager
which is peculiar to the country. and
which consists in betting on the
weather. This is called ''sutta," and
has one advantage over most forms of
gambling in that there is no possibili-
ty of cheating, since there is no
chance of controlling the results. The
sportsmen make wagers whether it
will rain or not, and also how much
rain will fall, the latter question being
settled by rain gauges. There is great
excitement on cloudy days. The
gamblers rush to the Offices or "dens'
and record their bets with the book
makers Then, if the expected down
pour comes, anxious groups assemble
round the rain gauges. Even horse
racing, it is said, has not more fasci-
nation for some of the gamblers.

she is excelled by one. The policy of
our state in the inspection of cheese
factories and creameries is akin to
that of national government in the
recently enacted law for the inspect
ion of meat packing establishments.
Securing modern scientific practices,
il tends to give the consumers cleanli-
ness and purity in dairy products and
consequent greater remuneration to
those engaged in the dairy industry.
1t is wisdom upon the part of the
state to carry into effect policy
which secures these results.
There are in Wisconsin more than
1900 cheese factories, creameries and
skimming stations. The value of
their buildings and machinery ap-
proximates S5,0O0,OO0. The number
of their patrons exceeds $4,000.
There are 1900 cows contributing
more than 1896, 100000 pounds of
milk annually to the cheese factories
and creameries The annual revenue
from all classes of dairy products, in
Guiding by-products from cheese
factories and creameries, exceeds ST.,
000 900.

The following little editorial para
graph taken from a recent Minnea-
apolis Tribune, contains an excellent
suggestion for some Grand Rapids
people:
Persons who have occasion to cross
the busy streets of this city cannot
be to careful. These daily accidents
are surely not all due to the care
lesshess of motormen and chauffers.
There are people who are either al
ways in rush and never look to the
right or eft, or meander and mosey
along regardless, and it is sometimes
difficult for careful pedestrian, to
say nothing of motormen and drivers
generally, toavoid collision with them.

Use of Lions Name.

The lions name, like the human
hand, serves a distinct use. The lion,
without it, would soon die out. The
jungle is the lions hunting ground.
Here he stalks the buffalo and other
such creatures, leaping on their backs
to Stay them. They tear madly away,
and in their flight strive to scrape off
the lion against tree trunks and
boughs. But his name protects him.
Without it the bumps and knocks he
receives in that wild ride would in
fallibly make him fall unconscious to
the ground. In fighting his name also
protects the lion, safeguarding his
throat against the longest, sharpest
claws
