and continues until September 10, will
stimulate and encourage in the mind

lists. desire the following year to do
something better.
The fair influence Is not confined 10
one line or one branch of agricultural
industry. but extends to every depart
ment OF home life. farm and Industrial
enterprise. It is sufficiently broad to
take in every feature OF manufacture
and production. even to the educa.
tional mplishments OF the public
schools OF the state.
The Michigan State fair has become
the great clearing house institution as

Real Indian Village.

The American Indian is gradually
disappearing and his mode OF life ts
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 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.

Michigan State Fair grounds al

ave produced luxurious growth OF

the place in every direction, a 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 effect
during the fair next September.
The rose bushes are just preparing
to burst into bloom which will 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 large amount of muddy walk,
dust will also be done away with.
AT the present time a new horse
barn-24O feet long-is being erected.
II will be one of the finest In the
country and a great convenience to
horsemen and others who will exhibit
stock at the coming state fair. This
structure was started early and will
be fully completed long before the

Other features are contemplated
which will add to the convenience of
the great institutions.
