No lessons interfere with play,
And things begin to come their way,

He buys us cake and cookies sweet,
And every day special treat;
And doesn't try to keep us neat

The Kansas State Fair at Hutchin-

to be greater than ever before. 1t
has had q phenomenal growth and il
regarded as one Of the successes
throughout the entire country. 1t has
been largely because 1t IL located In
enc Of the finest agricultural regions
OF the great west that has o reliable
annual crop production, IL the natural
home Of cattle, and q health resort for
swine. In this community are grown
AL the staple products Of the farm and
all the breeds of livestock. The farm
ors are most progressive and up-to-
date in th0ir methods and use Of labor
saving machines. It Is therefore nat
ural that they would support a great
Fair promoted for the the god and
growth Of the community and Of the
scope Of the usual state Fair.
This year the Fair will be held upon
new grounds. The entire plant has
been moved to larger grounds and new
buildings built and many facilities add
ed. There is new Liberal Arts
building 10Sx156, magnificent new
grandstand having 1000 seating capa-

barns, pavilions and other facilities
for housing exhibits and showing
same, have been erected, city water
for drinking, sprinkling, fire protec-
tion and all other purposes; electric
light, telegraph and telephone service
installed, electric railway has been ex-
tended by double track to the grounds
and everything for the comfort and
convenience Of the people has been ar
ranged for, even to thoroughly
equipped emergency hospital tent.
More than $4,000 has been added to
the Horse Department and there are
one of the most magnificent horse
shows ever seen in the West. There
will be horses exhibited that will win

and at Madison Square Garden, New

More interest is being taken in
sheep than ever before and we are al
ready assured of large exhibit COM

OF which Is in the making of dynamite.
1t is the absorbent for the nitrogly-
cerine, which is the explosive ingred-
lent. Wood -four is inferior to that
made with infusorial earth as the abb
sorbent; but 1t serves many purposes,
and is cheaper But dynamite is one
of the smallest prospective uses for
the product. Linoleum makers mix
1t with linseed oil and give body to
their floor coverings. 1t is not con
sidered quite equal to ground cork for
this purpose, as it is less elastic; but
1t is cheaper and meets requirements
for medium grades.
The -four fills an important place in
the manufacture of xyolite, kind of
artificial flooring, resembling wood In
weight, and stone in other respects.
1t is used for kitchen floors, and In
halls, corridors, cafes, restaurants, and
public rooms. 1t is impervious to wa
ter, and is practically fireproof. 1t is
floor material in some of the German
war vessels. 1t is so used because 1t
is not liable to take fire or splinter

Many additional uses for wood -four
will probably be found The amount
of sawdust to be had in this country
is practically unlimited, and millmen
will welcome any plan that will lessen
the waste at the sawdust dump. Nor
