honored maid and the ushers and
bridesmaids followed.
The brides gown was a magnificent
creation of white satin trimmed in old
Venetian point, made with full court
train. The lace of which the yoke and
sleeves were fashioned was rare and
almost priceless, having been purchas-
ed by Mrs Allen several years ago in
a museum of treasures on trip abroad.
The bride wore full tulle veil fasten-
ed with chaplet Of orange blossoms,
and chain of pearls and sapphires
with pearl heart pendant, the gift Of
the bridegroom. She carried a shower
bouquet of white orchids and lilies Of
the valley. Her going away gown was
Of purple velvet.
Miss Mildred Stephens, honored
maid, wore a gown of white Japanese
silk over pink satin and chiffon. The
gown was embellished with Japanese
embroidery in shaded pink roses, gold
fringe and jeweled band embroidery.
She wore spangled band and butter
fly in her hair and carried an arm bou.
quet of Killarney roses and white hya-
cinths.
Dorothy Stephens. attendant to the
maid of honor, wore a gown of pink
chiffon over white satin. The chiffon
skirt was daintily draped at knee depth
with garlands of tiny pink rosebuds,
the decolletage was edged with the
little buds, and she wore a coronet of
rosebuds and short tulle veil. She
carried a bouquet of Killarney roses
and maiden-hair ferns.
The maids wore gowns of pink satin
charmeuse, trimmed in crystal en-
broidery, the gowns ranging from faint
shell pink to deep rose. They carried
different shades of the Killarney roses
and wore silver and pink satin bands,
with-pink bows, lin. their hair.

gifts. Among these latter were
checks for one, two orsmoTe Thousand
dollars irons aunts and uncles OF the
bride, and ,asgift of 800, 600 worth of
stock in the Moline Pillow company
from her father and mother. Among
the gifts admired were rare and valu-

Falling Hair.
You Run No Risk When You
Use This Remedy.

doubt the assertion that the hairs
of our heads are numbered" yet

dandruff, or if your hair is falling
cut. do not wait until you reach the
point where you can actually count
how many hairs are left on your
head.
Most cases of badness are caused
because the roots lack proper nutri-
ton. In such cases there is microbe
which bores through the scalp along
the line of the hair into the root and
when it lodges there il begins to de-
stroy the fatty matter around the
hair roots. When the scalp and hair
roots are strong and healthy. 1t is
impossible for these microbes TO get
I'm their deadly work.

hair is falling out. and you have not

icately perfumed. 1t is a real too
let necessity.

MARTIN TROPHY.

trophy will be awarded to best draft
team Of any age, over 5000 pounds in
weight, owned in Michigan. n
The owner Of the winning team has
the honor Of retaining possession OF

will again become the property of the
West Michigan State Fair to be again
offered, in competition at the next
fair. Four liberal cash prizes will be
awarded the owners Of the four best
competing teams, and the drivers of
all non-winning teams will be award
ed 81 each.

COOK TO Be JUDGE
Unique Methods of Determining Po-
tato's Worth to Be Inaugurated.
PRODUCT WILL BE BAKED,
BOILED AND STEAMED AT
WEST MICH. STATE FAIR.

1t is the desire of the management
OF the West Michigan State Fair to
make each of its departments valu-
able to the exhibitor and to the pub
lie in the way of demonstration and
education. For the past two years the
wheat has been judged by representa-
tives OF the State Millers' association,
the object being that the exhibitor, as
well as the visitor, may acquire more
definite knowledge of what is actually
demanded by the millers of the state
for the manufacture of flour. In the
same way it has been the endeavor
or the management to procure the
best commercial judges of beans.
This year another innovation is in.
trcduced. Potatoes will be exhibited
in classes and not as varieties, and
prizes will be awarded by two judges.
The first judge will be the best com
mercial judge Of potatoes than can be
secured; the other will be the best
possible cook of potatoes that can be
secured. So that the awards will be
made on the basis of actual merit as
demanded on the market and in the
home. Potatoes from each worthy ex.
hibit will be cooked upon the grounds
and scored on the basis of cooking
value. The cooking will be done by
baking, boiling in Jackets, and steam
ing.
Michigan leads all other states in
the production of potatoes. 1t is the
plan OF the management of the West
Michigan State Fair to determine in
the above practical way what county
and what individual exhibitor has
grown the best potatoes of the season.
The exhibit of potatoes, therefore,
that receives the highest award may
be assumed to be the best exhibit of
potatoes produced in the greatest po-
tato state in the Union.
Here is an opport'~''- "-~ the
growers Of potatoes "
in potato quality. G.
also for the differer
what can be done y
in the production
crop.

LOW RATES TO WEST MICH. FAIR
One and One-haIf One Way Fares For
Round Trip to Grand Rapids,
Sept. 12-16. on All Roads.


All roads lead to the West Michigan
State Fair in Grand Rapids, Sept. II to
16.
Better still, all roads converging in
Grand Rapids are making it worth
while to the public to attend the fair
by materially reducing their transpor-
tation rates for the occasion.
The Michigan Passenger association,
which has jurisdiction over the grant,
ing of special rates on all roads. has
determined upon ane and one-half the
one way fare for the round trip as the
rate which shall prevail during the big
fair. Thus a regular fare of 81 each
way may be obtained going and COM
ing, for $3.50, the saving in transpor-
tation paying admission to the grounds,
no inconsiderable item in the neces-
sary expenses of trip to one of the
greatest of educational exhibits.
This Is reduction over the 1908
rates. which were one and two-thirds
the regular fare, denoting the growing
importance Of the West Michigan Fair
as viewed by the transportation com.
panies.

A CLEAN FAIR.
NO GAMBLING, NOR LIQUOR SELL
ING AT THE WEST MICHIGAN
STATE FAIR.

In following the policy adopted sew
eral years ago of giving TO the people
the very best entertainment OF It's
kind the West Michigan State Falr'
to be held in Grand Rapids, Sept IL
10th, will strictly adher TO It's estaD-
lished precedent of barring gambling
and liquor selling from the grounds.
None of the wiles and lures Of profess
sional tricksters will be permitted TO
entice the money of the unwary from
its rightful uses to swell the bank
rolls of gambling concessionaries at
Comstock Park.
From the date of it's organization,
gambling devices have been tabooed
at the West Michigan State Fair, de-
spite strenuous offers Of much finan-
cial returns to the Fair. Much as the
Fair management has needed addition
al money for necessary improvements
the temptation to secure money in this
way has been withstood. Since 1906
liquor selling privileges have also been
denied in the determination TO provide
the people an absolutely clean, un-
Objectionable Fair.
The results have been most crafty
ing to the Fair management and the
great majority OF the patrons. None
who visited the Fair the past few years
will have any hesitation about repeat
ing the visit this year, for they know
that there will be no gambling on the
grounds, no fakirs to swindle the un'
wary and that no liquor will be sold
on the grounds.

FINE s.
West Michigan State F-,-'s Great c.
tie Show

West Michigan State F-,-'s Great Co.
tie Show.
Noted for its cattle shows ever since
its organization, the West Michigan
State Fair of 1910. to be held in Grand
Rapids, Sept. 12-16th, will excel past
exhibitions on the COmstocll Park fair
grounds and equal any cattle show Of
a similar nature ever held elsewhere.
A premium list of nearly 100000
helped to attract last year the high
est class of entries, and the special
rewards offered by the Holstein-Frie-
sian Breeders association and the Am.
erican Shorthorn Breeders association
still further enhance the activeness Of
exhibits in this department. and this
years exhibits in this department will
be greater than ever before Increased
premiums and greater activity in the
past on the part of the management in
endeavoring TO secure fine exhibits
have met with such generous re-
sponses as to insure a bigger and bet
ter cattle show than last year.
The special dairy tests. which have
been features of the past three West
Michigan State Fairs, will be repeated
this year These will be conducted
under the supervision of the state
dairy and food department. For the
purpose of encouraging economical
production and business methods, SIS
is offered, in four prizes of $50, 500,
SIS and $40. The tests will be con-
Quoted during the entire period of the
Fair. Special rates on all railroads
will be given to patrons of the fair
