ILLINOIS TURTLE FARM.

A mud turtle farm, which will also
be devoted to the raising of mush.
rooms, gold fish and guinea pigs. is
the latest venture of the head OF one
OF the big Western Railroads Presl-
dent II. l. Miller Of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois is the man who has
hit upon this novel form of diversi
fed farming as relief from business
cares, and he intends Incidentally to
show the formers of the grain belt
guinea pigs will pay bigger dividends
than even 80 cent corn.
The farm is located at Darlington, a
suberb of Chicago, and is tract OF
rolling timbered land. Numerous la
goons and roads are being dug at var
ious points on the property and an
elaborate system of irrigating bitches
will be established The guinea pig
yards will cover several acres and Will
be the largest, 1t is expected. In the
country. The mushrooms will be al
lowed to grow wild wherever they will
in marshy spots and damp hooks in
the woods.
With the starting of the farm comes
to light some interesting facts about a
little known industry II is estimated
that over 10000 turtles are consumed
annually in Chicago restaurants
Some of them are terrapin, but the
| greater part are mud turtles, soft
shells and snappers. The demand for
mushrooms is enormous.-Macomt

Would not Allow Marion
Either Game.
Gave Marion Only Eight Hits
In Both Games.
First Game was a Shut. out and the
Diggers Made Only Two ih the
Second.

Walter Justice proved bimself the
real bad man that Marion fans have
always considered him, sunday, when
he pitched two games against Ma
rion and allowed the Diggers to make
only eight hits in both contestts
These he kept scattered nicely and
the result is that Lancaster annexed
both games to her per cent column
and cinched more firmly than ever
her hold upon that first place whitn
was held by the Diggers for so long
and which they 80 unwilllngiy sur
rendered to the Lanktown team some
weeks ago during that memorable
slump.
Justice proved himself to be OF
the iron man sort, Sunday. He was
Just right and when he is right, he
is a very formidable man to have in
the box when the opposing team
wants to make a few runs and fatten
MP batting averages. In the first
contest Marion was not given look
in. In the second the Dlggers Jared
a little better and secured two runs,
but the game had been lost before
these came, and their efforts did not
count.
Craig. Marion's hard luck pitcher,
was in the box in the first game
and when he had one bad inning in
which the Lanks made abunch of hits
god 70 rhtree runs, he was replaced
by Burk. Burk went in the second
game and instead of having one bad
inning he had brace of them with
the result that at the end of the sec
ond inning the Lancaster team had
six runs.

Portsmouth Unable to Solve
Him.
Allowed Shoemakers Only
Five Hits.
The Diggers Find Johns for Double
That Number and Take the Game
Two to One.

Portsmouth continued to play good
ball Saturday, but the game was not
quite swift enough for Marion and
TIE result was that the Diggers took
the Night Riders into their c3mp
on the Portsmouth lot, by score of
two to nothing Jimmy Lucas was
on the slab for Marion and he had
the visitors at his mercy all of the
time. Only five hits were made off
of his delivery and The team PLAYED a
perfect fielding game behind him.
Johns wins sent to the slab for
Portsmouth and some of the Marion
men fattened up little on their bat
ting averages. When the dust had
cleared away, it was found that Ma
rion had secured ten hits.

Mammoth Aerial Carnival
Including Passenger Airship Flights
and Daily Balloon Races Ito Lead
ing Amusement Feature Modern
Wooden OF America Field
Day, Tuesday, Sept |.


Rapidly drawing is the fifty-eighth
annual Ohio State Fair and Indus
trial Exposition, to be held In Co
lumbus. August 81, September J.,
2, 3, 4, next, with advance prospects
that it will far excel all othe'.s In
educational entertainment ano
amusement features.
Never before have such heavy en-
tries been recorded in its competitive
departments, while the demand for
space for exhibiting farm, shop and
road machinery has been so great
as to completely exhaust the capacd-
ty of the buildings and plated
ground devoted to these displays,
and II has become necessary TO Gre
ate a large overflow section of some
fifteen acres that all may be ac-
commodated. When it is considered
that seventeen mammoth buildings
are devoted exclusively to exhibits,
some conception OF the stupendous-
ness of thefonthcoming Exposition
can be formed.
In anticipation Of the splendid
displays now assured in the competi-
tive departments, the managers have
contracted for amusement and enter
tainment features extraordinary, In
cluding an aerial carnival under the
direct supervision of A. Roy Knaben-
shue. The carnival has aroused the
greatest interest throughout the
state, and including as 1t does, daily
airship flights, balloon races and as
tensions, will attract vast crowds. In
addition to the aerial carnival visit
ors will be entertained with feats of
daring, skill and dexterity, including
c. T.. Hardy, high wire king; Matt
Gay, somersault back diver; Mile
Spellman with her troup of fifteen
trained bears, and six other meritir-
ious performances. These acts will
occur in the open, positively free TO

The official program of the Elk
position has been issued, and we
vote that Tuesday September 1, has
been officially designated as Modern
Woodmen of America Day. On this
date Woodcraft will hold its annual
field day exercises, including prize
drill to be participated in by crack
teams Of the state and a varied pro-
gram of athletic contests, with lib
eral prizes offered in each event. The
committee in charge confidently pre-
diets that twenty Thousand Woodmer
will be in attendance, and that the
event will be the grandest in thu
history Of the Order. Monday, Au
gust 81, will be Women's Free Day
} while on the closing day the gate
will be thrown open free TO all th'
children OF the state.

How a Platform is Built.

Building a platform at a political
convention reminds one of the side
show OF circus. While owing Its
existence to the main show it is
separate and distinct from 1t, and
you have to pay a separate price OF
admission. A good many folks who
came to this convention had n chance
to take in this side show. because 1t
was held in the parlor of the biggest
hotel and was Of easy access for the
crowds.
There were several acts to the
platform play, each act consuming
almost an entire day.
In the first act procession OF
strange looking men appeared, each
bearing a plank, tapped on the door
and were admitted singly They left
their planks all tagged and came
out again.
The next act is invisible to the
audience A low rumbling is heard
at times from the stage and occa-
sionally there is loud noise as a
heavy plank falls. The audience
thrills as 1t grasps the momentous
Importance of these sounds and what
they mean. Some of the men who
carried their own planks into the
room now stand around and specu-
late as to whose plank 1t was that
fell and strain their ears for some
sound that will reassure them. 1t Is

The third act is the longest act OF
| all The low rumble has now be-
come roar. All of the cast is now
engaged. Some OF the men who took
planks into the room are taken in fol
the torture of seeing these planks
born amid so much travail, planed
and chiselled and sawed ,up in theil
sight until little is left, or else brok

There is a sudden call for type
