MACHINERY EXHIBITS AT
THE STATE FAIR.

An unusually large exhibit of farm
implements and machinery is in pros
pect. Owing to the incompleteness of
the State Fair the exhibitors of this
department do not share the same adj
vantages afforded them by some of the
older institutions in the way of large
machinery halls, but every other ia
cility and accommodation will be at
their disposal. Commodious space
will be assigned to this department,
and already large number of appli-
cations are on file, including manUfac-
turers CT engines, pumps, stock scales,
fencing, mills, road machines, vehi-
cles, harvesting machines, having ma
chimes, planters, plows, and every
utensil used by the farmer The farm
er who desires to be instructed in the
use of better methods and better ma
chinery will have great object lesson
before him at this Fair.

COLLIE DOGS AT THE STATE FAIR

The collie dog exhibit at the Ken
lucky State Fair promises to be a
greater attraction than ever before. A
new departure, one entirely original,
and the first ever held in this section
will be sheep trial given by an ex-
pert, which will show the usefulness
of the collie to the farmer A credita-
bic show of this nature viii appeal to
every collie fancier, as four points are
to be gained by owners toward cham

KENTUCKY STATE FAIR RACES.

Horse racing, always an attraction
AZ State Fair, and more especially
at an exhibition held under Southern
skies, will be featured more than at
any previous State Fair. The new
half-mile track, now in process of con-
struction, when completed will be one
of the fastest half-mile courses in the
country, and there is every indication
fer first-class harness race meeting
this fall. Four stake, five purse, and
three gentlemen's road races have
been announced; in addition to these
there will be two running races each
day, so the Keatuckian who thinks
that his days visit at a fair is incom-
plete without seeing a first-class horse
race will not be disappointed at this
s9ar's State Fair. Among the early
closing events are the Kentucky Brew
ters, the Louisville Retail Merchants
Association stake for 2:30 trotters,
and the Louisville Commercial Club
stake for 2:1S PAGERS. Stake entries
closed July 18th; purse entries close
Sept. 9TH, and entries for the cup races
at II o'clock the day before the race.
The stake races will be contested
on the three in five heat plan, with
fve-heat limit, and the purse races on
the two in three heat plan. 1t is the
ultimate intention of the State Fair
management to build full mile track
encircling the present half-mile course,
which, if the hopes of those in charge
of the racing program are realized,
will compare favorably with the best
State Fair mile tracks in the country,
and Louisville will doubtless become
one OF the NEST popular training
grounds in the country.

Invention az a Business.

Commenting on recent article
whose writer laments that more per-
sons do not take up inventing as q
regular business, the Electric Review
(London) says: I'VE doubt whether
inventing in the highest sense can be
made business to be learned by any
body. Inventors are born, not made.
Our own country is not lacking in the
divine inspiration, II we are to judge
by the number of patents applied for:
a different conclusion might be ar
rived at II we were to Judge by the
quality. America appears to be the
special breeding ground of the inven-
tor. The peculiar mixture of all races
in that fortunate land appears to have
produced kind of superman who
alone is capable of creating such dia-
bolical inventions as the cash regis.

MODERN WORK WILL NOT LAST
Newspapers and Books Printed To-
Day Have Short Lives.

THE men who wrote history on
tablets of stone in ages gone had a
difficult task to perform. and had to
cultivate the habit Of brevity." says
a writer in a German paper, but
what they wrote was preserved. 1t will
be different with the newspapers and
books of the present time. The paper
upon which they are printed Will dis
integrate in few years. and the
records. historical. scientific and liter
ary. will become dust. l saw two
papers last week which told the
whole story. One contained an ac-
count OF the death of Napoleon Bona
parte. 1t was printed in 1921. was In
state of perfect preservation. and
looked as though 1t might last. with
ordinary care, a hundred years. The
other paper was kept because its
leading article described the surren-
der of Sedan, which had taken place
day before. Although 1t had been
printed nearly so years later. the
Sedan paper had to be handled care
fully to prevent its tearing in the
creases. One of these papers was
printed on old-fashioned paper. and
the other on the modern kind. With
the two specimens before me I can
not refrain from urging once more
that a few numbers of all books and
newspapers. enough for all first-class
libraries, be printed on good paper
for the benefit of those who will live
after u.s."

oregon Apples Sold at 81 Each.

The recent sale of number Of
boxes of winter banana apples at
Hood river at IS box has brought
up the question OF record prices for
apples. The horticultural annals Of
the state show that in 1856 one box
of Spitzenberg apples grown in the
Willamette valley and shipped to San
Francisco netted the shipper $50. In
the same year three boxes of winesaps
were sold in Portland for s1O2. or $34
box. In 1855. 5000 boxes of apples
grown in Oregon were sold at prices
which netted the shipper $40 to $50 q
bushel. In 1854. 500 boxes were sold
at from $50 to 500 box. The first lot
of apples grown on grated trees were
sold In Portland by the grower,
