FARM BOY CONTESTS
High Quality Of Instruction
Given at State Fair.

AS an incentive and help to the boys
OF Indiana farms to make greater eff
forts in the agricultural calling, num-
Der of contests, in which the prizes
are very attractive, have been arrang-
ed by the state fair management, to
be held at the exposition the week of
September II. Chief among them will

school, and five scholarships, worth
total of $500, in the Purdue School OF
Agriculture will go to the winners.
The boys will pass on the merits Of
horses and cattle as the animals ap-
pear in the state fair coliseum, and
they will also Judge sheep, swine, corn
and wheat. They will give their opin-
ions on the same live stock and farm
products that the regular judges Of
the fair pass on. This contest will bs
directed by Prof. G.. |. Christie, of Pur-
due University, and farm boys who de-
sire to participate should send their
names to the secretary of the fair at
indianapolis by August q.
Purdue University is doing a very
extensive and practical education work
at the state fair every year. Experts
from this institution have charge Of

lines of Purdue's work is exploited for
fair visitors. By means of fruits.
feeds, fertilizers, photos and charts

A Pasteur Institute under state
supervision and supported by
owners of dogs is advocated by
William G.. Wegner, St. Joseph
county health commissioner DR.
Weger favors an additional fee
of 25 cents on the dog tax re-
ceiptS, to be turned over TO a
an institute for the prevention OF
hydropliobia, as the result OF
bites from mad dogs. DIR. Weger
believes Ele 9nStl5rtion should
give free treatment to all persons
bitten by dogs suffering from ra-
bies.
The St. Joseph county health
commissioner feels his plan would
place the cost OF building and
maintaining a state Pasteur insti-
tiite with tllte owners of dogs.
He maintains that no one knows
just when some worthless cur
will 60 mad, bite blooded animals
anil then the people will have to
suffer the consequences. He says
many people can not afford
the 5000 required foi treatment
and expenses at Pasteur hospi-
tai, and declared it is not fair to
a person to have to be put to
that expense when she or he is
not to blame.
'Hydrophobia is disease
without a cure" said DIR. Wegner
and loss of life from a dog bite
is unwarranted. | maintain the
state should provide the proper
institution. 1t could be conduct
ed IN connection with the state
laboratory at Indianapolis. "A
Pasteur institute can provide
tretment preventing the develop
ment of hydrophobia IN a person
bftten by mad dog, and owners
of dogs should be made to stand
the expense. If the state legisla-
ture will take the matter in hand
and authorize an additional fee of
25 cents for each dog, turn the
money over to a fund, and then
build ande. quip special hospital
a fine institution can be provided
in tins way and no hardships will
be worked"

FARM LABOR SAVERS
Thirty Acres Of Machinery VIII
Be At State Fall.

Hundreds of Indiana farms owe
their labor-saving methods and home
comforts to ideas obtained at the State
Fair, and the coming exposition Is go
Ing to show the newest offerings OF
machinery for farm use. This exhibit
will cover thirty acres of ground and
will include scores of cOntrivanceS for
reducing the work and increasing the
output of the farm, and there will be
hundreds of machines for making
lighter the work of farm women and
which will give them household con-
veniences which make the country
home rank in appointments with the
city mansion. Methods OF providing
heat, light. water and sanitation will
be shown. Rapid and profitable ways
of doing dairy work will be exploited
in exhibits. Concrete, now an import
ant material on every modern farm.
will have its many uses shown In ex.
hibits. One exhibitor will show COM
plete model farm with the model build
ings made of this material.
In neaVy machinery the lar VIII
have many acres of exhibits. Last
year the makers of threshers by agree
ment did not show their machines at
the fair. but they are coming to the
next fair in greater force than ever.
E. s. Tuell or Corydon has charge Of
the mechanical department.
That the mechanical display is going
to be on an enormous scale was made
evident early in July, when all OF the
regular space was assigned to exhibit
tors, and since then there has been a
clamor ON the part of exhibitors for
ground room. Harvesting machinery,
power outfits, vehicles of all kinds,
everything of use to the farmer, will
have prominence in the acres Of ma
chinery that will be seen.

TRAVELLING BY ELEPHANT.
Uncomfortable Howdah-Fording Riv
ers and Passing Through Forests.

There were two elephants at our
disposal and myself and the interpre-
Ter rode the first, each occupying half
1f the howdah The howdah has a pc
culiar and Objectionable habit of near
y succeeding in cutting your legs in
two. If you hang your legs outside
YOU may pad the edge as much as you
like. but if you are new to the game
you Will wake in about half an houI
from an uneasy doze with the painful
conviction that the lower halves OF
your legs have dropped off, says
writer in the Singapore Press.
On squirming up into position
from which you can view the outside
world you will see they are still dang
ing there, but with an irresponsibility
which suggests that they have been
trayed through to the last shred Alb
normal efforts allow you to drag them
safely inside and you think il will BIZ
better in future to keep them there.
The elephant is almost as fine a We
hicle to see the surrounding country
from as London bus and there is a
considerable element of excitement in
his progression. The elephant / rode
had fatal habit when it came to
river bank or bit of rough ground OF
looking around and picking out what
seemed the worst bit he could see

as IL ne was engaged in trying to

beast would patiently SLOUGH through
the trees and bushes of the track ir

CARELESS of the fact that the branches
threatened to sweep howdah and ev.

But one of the most peculiar
sensations was when they took it into
their heads to have scratch against

wonderful line which could withstand
the solid work the elephant expects
its posts to carry out and when thf

A QUESTION

Between Roosevelt and

of Temple Graves
At the Outlook Office-Bill

And the Graftcrs Issues-IIis Def 10
the Colonel and the Latter's Re-
plies.

New York, Sept. 16.-That there
Is more than a possibility that there
will be an alliance between Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt and William RAN
dolph Hearst, in connection with the
Roosevelt fight against the boss and
the interests In politics" was indica-
ted today. John Temple Graves, chief
political lieutenant of Hearst. called
to see Roosevelt at the outlook office
this afternoon. He came at the lat
ter's request but beyond admitting
that fact Colonel Roosevelt refused TO
discuss the visit. He refused to ex-
plain II he sent for Graves to accept
the Hearst offer of the support of his
Independent party.
Graves and the colonel were closet
ed in the latters private office FOR
some time. When the candidate OF
the Independence party for vice pres
dent in the last national campaign
departed he was smiling broadly. He
was far from being loquacious, how
ever.
"All / care to say Is that all of the
politics we discussed Is what one
could expect would be talked when
one meets Colonel Roosevelt. There
was no particular political subject un-
der discussion neither was there any
conspiracy"
During the morning Roosevelt also
conferred with several of his hench-
men and to all OF them he made It
plain that he expects to control the
state convention and force 1t to adopt
progressive platform.
While Roosevelt was comforting
with his lieutenants William Barnes,
Jr, who is leading the "Old Guard"
hight, issued the following statement:
No amount of political maneuver-
ing nor the use of patronage or per-
sonal abuse, can In the slightest de-
gree obscure the one issue which
must be fought out at Saratoga.
There will be determined at that
convention the future of the Repub-
lican party in New York for some
years to come. That party must de-
termine in its platform whether II
Will be recognized as the conserving
force which has been its history or
whether II will follow the radical
policies of Mr.. Roosevelt and lose the
strategic position which il has held
in the state for many years as the
party of sanity and the protector Of
Industry upon which the world of
business and labor must depend
mo radical candidate ever carried
the state of New York. Progress IN
political life is essential to any party
but the state leadership which relies
for its strength upon inciting the mob
can never, even IL 1T tries, stem the
tide which 1t has created"
When the Barnes statement was
handed to Roosevelt to read he Pc
rused 1t carefully, smiled, slapped his
leg and calculated:
II am indeed blessed in my ene-
mics. i am very genuinely grateful
TO Mr. Barnes for having unconscious
ly made the issues so clear as be-
tween what he is pleased to call
Rooseveltism upon the one side and
on the other side the alliance of the
