Invitation to Attend the state Fair as
Their Guests.

The Michigan State Fair manage
ment is determined to make children's
day. which will occur this year on
Tuesday, September Z one of the most
entertaining features of the big ex-
hibit Every youngster in the state
of Michigan under twelve years Of age

Last year it is estimated that 20
900 children were guests of the fair
management and the occasion proved
so popular that it has been decided
to make the event permanent fea-
ture
The Detroit Board OF Education had
planned TO open all the public schools
on the above date, but at the request
Of the fair management they will not
open until one day later in order that
the children may enjoy the hospitality
of the big institution. This extension
of the summer vacation is made Just
long enough to give the little folks an
exciting finish to a long holiday sea

It is hoped by the management of
the Michigan State Fair that other
schools will follow the example set by
the Detroit Board of Education. and
postpone opening one day, or close
school for one day i'm order that the
children from every part of this great
commonwealth may be able to attend
the State Fair as their guests.

The holdup occurred within a mile
of the city limits. in a deep cut
along a recently constructed lone
cutoff. The robbers climbed over
the tank and forced the engineer to
stop his train, and then proceeded
to the mail car. The clerks were
forced to open the door and handed
out a number of pouches of regis
tered mail. Once they secured the
bags they hurried away in a south

train to proceed.
The passengers were not molested
and as soon as the robbers left the
scene of the holdup the train pro-
ceeded to this city. A big squad of
