The State Fair Of Today.

The state fair has become recognize
ed as an auxiliary In helping to build
up the general agricultural interests
OF live stock and agricultural districts
The incentive of exhibition contest and
friendly competition at the Michigan
State fair, which opens September 2
and continues until September 10, will
stimulate and encourage In the mind
of Michigan stockmen and agricultur-
ists a desire the following year to do
something better.
The fair influence Is not confined to
one line or one branch of agricultural
industry, but extends to every depart
ment of home life. farm and industrial
enterprise. 1t Is sufficiently broad to
take In every feature OF manufacture
and production, even to the educa-
tional accomplishments of the public
schools of the state.
The Michigan State fair has become
the great clearing house institution as
Il were, for the breeder. the feeder the
producer, the scientist, and in fact
every branch of industry TO be intro
duced to an intelligent and apprecI-
alive public IL Is here where the
wide-awake producer brings the best,
the choicest Of his herd, the pick of
his product OF whatever nature, to
test the merit and It's value when
placed In comparison with the work
and efforts OF others The State Fair
Is an educational institution and
means Of congregating into one sys-
tematically arranged exhibition, the
best OF everything the state has pro-
duoed.

Real Indian Village.

The American Indian is gradually
disappearing and his mode of life Is
becoming more interesting each day,
to the general public. The manage
ment of the Michigan State Fair, real
izing the educational features that lie
in the Indian village, has secured an
attraction of this Sort which is prom
ised to be oen of the leading features
of the Midawy at the coming State
Fair. September TO 10.
This is a real Indian village and
consists OF Chief Two Stars" and his
followers, consisting of one hundred
persons.
The Indians will live at the Fair
grounds in tepes. in the same wild
style that existed on western plains
fifty years ago.
These Indians will eat. sleep and
appear in a semi-barbaric style that
will be interesting to every visitor at
the grounds This attraction will be
as fascinating to adults as to the chill
dren The Indians will execute war
dances, shoot with arrows, ride buck
ing broncos. rope cattle and do every
thing that is so common on the west
ern reservations.

MANITOUTO HAVE FACTORY
ineot- Iron Progress Tubing and
Piping to he Manufactured.

Colorado Springs Sunday Telegram, June 6. 90
The Colorado lngot Iron Pipe and
Calvert Company will be incorporated
under the laws of Colorado in - few
days and will have its plant at Mani
ton. The company ~ composed OF the
following directors, who also will act
AS incOrporators: William Lennon, of
ManitOn; f. o. Putney, OF Yale, Mich.
II. II. Morris aud q. II. Charles, both OF
Middletown, q The capitalization Will
be S5O,WO.
The Incorporation of this company
follows the closing of deal yesterday
with DR. W. A. Bell, of Lond, by cable
gram, for the purchase of the building
of the Manitou Electric company. This
buildings will be remOdeled and used
as II factory for the manufacture of the
product of this company Tor sale in the
territory covered by dorado, WyOm-
ing, Utah and Arizona. The consider
alton for the building is not given out.
1t is the purpose of the company TO
manufacture culvert, sewer and other
drainage pipes under the process known
AS the American ingot-iron process.
This process was discovered by the
American Rolling Mill company, of
Middletown, o., and the rights for the
states and territories mentioned above
have been purchased by the Manitou
company. After the most thorough
tests by eminent chemists, metallurg
lists, inspecting engineers and scientists,
it has been established that ingot-iron
under this process, when subjected to
the accelerated sulphuric acid test,
loses but slightly over per cent of its
strength while steel loses 80 per cent
and charcoal Swedish iron loses II per
cent under the same test
Under this process the tube or piping
is made with large corrugatiOns run
ming crossways, which Civ ii higher
resisting power than cement or east
iron tiles or tubes. The ingot iron
piping also possesses an east city
which prevents its breaking under a
sudden heavy strain. Besides its
adaptabiity for culverts and other
drainage purposes, il is unusually valu-
able for fumes as its tensile strength
permits the use Of great lengths with
out supports.
The machinery Tor the plant ut Mani
tou has already been ordered and is eX
pectcd before the end of the week 1t
will be put in place at once and the
Manufacture OF the piping and tubes
will commence without delay.
The plant Will start with ten men IN
the operating department and tao
statesmen will be put OH the road at
once. The local plant will be under
the immediate supervision OF William
Lennon, who has direct charge of the

FASTEST HORSE IN THE WORLD
Dan Patch Will Race Minor Heir TO
Beat the Worlds Record.

Horse lovers and all followers Of
the racing game will be given an IN
usual treat at the MCLEAN State
Fair Sept. 2-10 when they see Dan
Patch q 1850 and Minor Heir (1:59h)

ship honors.
NJ. w. Savage. who for severa
years has been the owner of Dan
Patch recently purcbaged Minor Heir
for $4,000 and has consented to let
these two worlds fastest harness
horses appear in series o. races
True to his first love Mr.. Savage
insists that as long =" D'n Patch
stays right ne will be able 10 defend
the championship against all corners.
even against the fleet son OF Heir-at
Law.
Mr.. Savage has given orders that
both horses be trained to the minute
and that when they go their race ex
hibitions each shall be driven to his
limit so that there will be an honest
test of speed, gameness and stamina
There are some horsemen who be
lieve that Minor Heir will develope
as great, II not greater, speed than
Dan Patch. He was green PAGER
last year, and as such gave some of
the most wonderful performances on
record. He has terr'f@ lirht of
speed, and II under the scientific care
of Harry Jersey, he can be f.ted so

as the scheduled race between these
two worlds champions.
Thousands of people will go to De-
troit for the opportunity merely 10
see these two champion horses go in
one of the greatest races in the his.
tory of the world.
While discussing the two horses a
short time ago Mr. Henry c. Hersey,
superintendent of Mr. Savage's farm,
and famous as the trainer and driver
of Dan Patch. had the following to
say:
II am now working Dan and Minor
Heir twice a weeL, Tuesdays and
Fridays. / am repeating them now,
giving each the last mile around 2:35.
will continue In this way until
begin working each horse four heats
on Tuesdays and Fridays. On Mon.
days, Wednesdays and Thursdays and
Saturdays the horses are now logged
about four or five miles, and | will
continue this after the more severe
work is in progress.
''My plan is gradually to work them
up to faster miles and to keep them
as big and strong as possible. Dan
Patch now weighs LOO and will work
down to about 1,075 pounds when he
Is fit for great miles. His rival now
tips the scales at 1920 pounds and
will weigh in close to 1000 pounds
when he is ready.
/ want to keep them both as big as
can and still have them hard and
not fat inside. | am slowly working
off the surplus fat. changing 1t into
muscle.
AT present am giving Minor Heir
little more Jogging and triie
sitter work than the champion He
needs to develope more staying quail
ties. The physical condition of each
horse seems perfect They have
plenty of lick and are feeling almost
too good. Dan never looked better at
this time of the year"

SANITATION OF THE STATE FAIR
GROUNDS.

The State Fair officials are taking
every precaution to protect the exhibit
tors of live stock at the 1909 meeting
which opens Sept. 2. They have made
arrangements for the complete santa
ton of the live stock and, in fact, the
entire show buildings and grounds
during the Fair time
Before any animals are brought
into their quarters, all stables, barns,
etc, will be thoroughly cleaned of any
refuse that may have accumulated
there. and then they will be thorough
ly and completely dsinfected so as to
prevent any possibility of disease
being acquired from the condition OF
the grounds before the live stock ar
rives.
During the entire time OF the Fair
a constant attendance of corps OF
expert assistants will be continuously
disinfecting all the live stock and
buildings, so that It will prevent any
possible outbreak of contagious dis
eases while on the grounds.
Arrangements will be made for par
ties who wish to have their stock
sprayed before entering the grounds,
and the fact that Messrs. Parke, Da-
Wis & Company will have this matter
in charge. and will use the disinfect-
ant Kreso for the purpose, is sufficient
to know that it will be done properly
and effectively.
This firm has taken care OF over
200 large expositions of this descrip-
ton, and by using Kreso have pre-
vented any outbreak of disease; TINS
is certainly safeguard against any
such troubles that otherwise might
arise.

A esautlhed Park.

The Michigan State Fair grounds at
the present time has the appearance
OF great city park. The recent rains
have produced luxurious growth or
grass, shrubs and flowers, that make
the place in every direction, JOY
even at this time of the year.
Attendants are constantly at work
moving the grass, trimming the
plants. and at the same time installing
shrubs and flowers that are planned
to produce a most gorgeous erect
during the fair next September
The rose bushes are just preparing
to burst into bloom which VIII pro
duce an inspiring effect during the
next few weeks.
Nursery companies are already pre-
pairing for the great fall exhibit and
have many men at work arranging
flower beds and shrubs TO attract. at
tention when the fair opens.
Car loads OF gravel and cement
are being shipped into the grounds
for long stretches of cement walks
that will take the place OF muddy
thoroughfares. This is an improve
ment that will be greatly appreciated
by the general public. Besides elimin-
ating a large amount OF muddy walk,
dust will also be done away with.
At the present time a new horse
barn-240 feet long-is being erected.
1t will be one of the finest in the
country and a great convenience 10

Other features are contemplated
which will add to the convenience OF

The girl who has time for a little
fancy work at home. either making
things for herself or preparing for
Christmas. should start work on the
butterfly handkerchiefs.
They have been sold In the shops for
some time, imported from Paris and
costing quite a bit OF money.
A girl can make them at home If she
is clever with her needle. If she has
been doing any of the butterfly APP
plique I'm underwear which has been
the fashion this season she will be ex-
pert enough to start on this other
work.
The foundation is a sheer fine hand
kerchief with a tiny hemstitched edge,
Either one or several butterflies are
cut from sheer colored silk null and
applied to the linen.
They can be all Of one color or In
different colors and embroidered al
the edges and up the center to give
the coloring of a real butterfly.
Some girls may prefer just one but
terfy with widespread wings in faint
color, such as lavender, pink, yellow
or blue.
If she makes a set for Christmas
gift 1t will be pretty to put different
colored one on each handkerchief.

Artistic Shield Cover.

With lawn and remnants OF valen-

made sets of shield covers. one to fiji
the medium sized shield and one the
next smaller. which many women pre-
fer with transparent frocks.
The covers are made in double bag
form cut the shape Of the shield. but
a little larger. so that they can easily
be slipped inside. The back of the
shield is made of plain lawn. while the
front is trimmed with rows Of inser-
ton and edged with lace. Sometimes
the insertion outlines the shape Of the
shield; again it runs diagonally across
it.
The covers are placed in a dainty It's

way as Christmas presents. each one
provided with the smallest white safe
ty pin for easy adjustment.

figures are often deceiving, even If
they do not lie. There are all kinds
OF talk about the overthrow of Can
non and AIdrich, but they are appar-
emily fixed in the saddle until March
4, 1911, and that is a long time. 1t is
some moons beyond the end Of the
coming session, which is the only one
with which we are Immediately con-
cerned. When Mr.. Cannon was elect
ed speaker at the beginning of the
extra session and Mr.. Aldrich was
placed at the head of the finance and
steering committees that largely set
tied the matters so far as this congress
is concerned. True, a revolt of suffi-
Gent proportions might unhorse either
of them temporarily on certain bills,
but could hardly affect their official
status. Nothing less than a parlia-
mentary revolution could do that. AS
we are not In the age of revolutions,
parliamentary or otherwise, we may
as well dismiss that contingency. In
all probability Cannon and Aldrich will
have to be reckoned with in any legts
lation passed before 1911.
The Taft Policies.
The program placed before congress
by President Taft In his annual mes
sage, as indicated by his speeches, will
be the most extensive and ambitious
ever proposed by a chief executive. 1t
will even dwarf the recommendations
made by Roosevelt AS outlined, there
will be ten main policies urged by the
president, besides list of minor items
covering routine matters and questions
of secondary Importance. The ten
commandments of Taft to congress
will be something In this wise:
Supervision of the issue. of stocks and
bonds by interstate corporations.
Readjustment of the duties and powers
of the Interstate commerce commission.

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY
How to Save 81 on Cough
Medicine by Making 1t at Home

Cough medicines. as a rule, are
mostly syrup. To make the best syr-
up. take pint of granulated sugar,
add one-half pint warm water, and
stir about two minutes.
Get two and one-half ounces of
Pinex $50 cents worth) put it in a
clean pint bottle, and fill up with
the granulated sugar syrup. This
makes a full pint of uneQualed
cough syrup, for about 50 cents.
Keeps perfectly. You couldn't buy as
much ready-made cough syrup for
$3.50.
This home made remedy is pleas
ant to take, and usually stops even
the most obstinate cough in "a hours.
1t is splendid, also. for colds, whoop-
ing cough, bronchial ailments, etc.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two
or three hours.
The sugar syrup is an excellent
sedative. The Pinex is the most val
liable concentrated compound of Nor
way white pine extract, rich in all
the healing elements of Norwegian
pine. Be sure to use the real Pinex
itself. Your druggist has it or can
easily get it for you.
Strained honey can be used instead
of the syrup and makes a very fine
honey and pine tar cough syrup.
