Secretary Kreipe of the State Far
has received advices from Frank u.
OdeIl. the bee expert engaged to give
performances at the fair, that he VIII
bring his entire show direct from the
Nebraska state fair to Topeka, en-
route to Hutchinson, Mcpherson and
Oklahoma City, at all of which points
he fills engagements this season. In
asmuch as Mr.. Odell expects to 60 up
against stiff competition for premiums
both in Kansas and in Oklahoma, he
will bring with him what is expected
to be the finest display of live bees and
honey ever shown in Topeka. From
the advance advertising which the Ne
braska state fair management are do
ing for this attraction it is evident
that it is deservedly popular at home
and will doubtless meet with instant
appreciation here as the show is en-
.ireIy original with Mr.. Odell and is
one Of the most sensational things ever
put on at a fair.
Applications for space in the machin-
cry exhibit continue to rage in Secre-
airy Kreipe's daily mail like an cpl
demic. Today he recorded entries from
Adams & Adams of North Topeka for
their automatic gate. The Loomis
Machinery Co., of Tiffin Ohio, ask
for 1000 square feet of space for their
we'll drilling machinery. The Eagle
Hay Baling Co, of Kansas City want
space to give an exhibition of baling
hay during the fair. The fourth wash
ing machine company asked for space
today. An idea of the magnitude of
the machinery exhibit for the Kansas
state wide fair may be gained from
the statement that there will be twenty
thousand square feet of space set aside
for this purpose.
Cornish & Patten of Osborne, Mo-,
have asked for six double stalls for
their blue ribbon strain of Herefords
and also seven stalls for nurse cows
and their calves. An Usage City man
asks for pens for his blooded swine and
Ralph Harris of Buck Creek, Kan,
wants six pens for his Duroc-Jersey
stock.
Secretary Kreipes stock of Kansas
fair souvenirs is disappearing fast.
These buttons. pins and watch fobs are
unique and very attractive.
The call OF the wild is strong in
every man, and the persons in any
community who do not like feats of
skill and daring may be counted on
the fingers of one hand. The fair
management recognized this inherent
trait of human nature when they Sc
cured the Mulhall congress of rough
riders and ropers for the fair. The
cattle days on the plains have prac-
tically passed away and the small
army of dead shots, rough riders and
skillful ropers of other days has
dwindled down to a few individuals
Outside of a few ranches in Montana
and Wyoming and the 1O1 and Null
hall ranches in Oklahoma there are
few If any places where one can now
find expert riders and ropers. While
Miss Lucille Mulhan is the queen of
the Mulhall ranch and the star attrac-
tion in the congress of ropers and
riders. she has two sisters, Bessie and
Mildred. who can rope and ride, and
her brother Charlie is one of the best
rough riders in the country There
are a number of the old time cow
