LAND CONGRESSES
 ARE A SUCCESS

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 26.-Durlng the last two months Secretary E. k. Ratterree of the Arkansas Land Congress has been in 30 counties, at tending the County Land Congresses, and the result has been most gratl- flying.
 He states that all counties he has been in but two, have agreed to raise s1 GOO each for the Land Congress movement, and the other two, which are very small counties, have agreed to raise $500 each.
 What is more, according to Secre- tary Ratterree, the counties are rals- ing the money which will enable the state to secure a great deal of ad- vertising during the winter. Secre- tary Ratterree will attend about 30 other Land Congresses before time for the advertising campaign to be- gin. He says there is no doubt but that Arkansas will be able to raise the full advertising fund and will reap a harvest so far beyond the eX- pectations of the most enthusiastic.

THEATER HAT
 EVIL IS SOL WE'D
Milliners Prescribe Little Turban to
 Be Worn Under Big Creations.

The massive millinery problem-as it relates to theaters, at least-has been solved Moreover, it has been solved in a manner that will give the mere man who attends the theater an opportunity to see the stage Occas- ionally without eliminating the big hat of previous years,s the Chicago Record Herald.
 The retail milliners assembled in convention at the Palmer House have solved the problem by the very simple means of selling Milady Theatergoer two hats. The big, fluffy picture hat will carry just as many plumes and ribbons as in former years. But beneath this there will be an elaborate little turban of velvet, satin, or some shimmery, elusive, filmy material that is expected to chime in with the picture on the other side of the foot lights to such an extent that it will not be objectionable to the male DOT tion Of the audience.
 This new device will be known as the French turban. Many other tur- bans are being exhibited by the Mill iners, however, who declare that they will take the place of the bis hat this season among the discrim- mating women.
 Along with these plans came the announcement from Mme Maerie Har- ris, president of the organization, that Chicago probably would be the fortunate home of a milliner's college, which, according to the plans, is to 1 be housed in a fourteen-story sky scraper. The building will be erect ed either in New York or Chicago, she said, according to the manner in lWhich it is received by the business and wholesale men in the two cities. 1 The association probably will take definite action on the question today

sition, conformation and pecularities of this famous stallion will be one that alone will bring many people 10 the tair grounds. His history is one of the most spectacular of all great horses.
 Minor Heir is not so well known as Dan Patch. but he bids fair to be- come so. His meteoric career of 1908 attracted worldwide attention. Started absolutely green, he paced a mile in the phenomenal time of 1:59 12, and is the only horse that ever went mile in less than two minutes during his first racing sea- son.
 During his first season he paced nine miles that averaged 200 1-2, a record only excelled by his stable mate, Dan Patch. He is universally heralded as the only horse that has a chance to beat the champion and discussion as to his ability to do this is rife in horse circles all over the world. He was foaled in 1902. Sired by Heir-at-Law, dam Kitty Clover, Mi nor Heir is the most sensational pro- duct of one of the greatest families of race horses known to history. His breeding makes him a wonderful ad dition to the royal family on the h. ternational Stock Food Farm.
 Minor Heir was handled in 1907 by Charles Dean, who negotiated his sale to M w. Savage, for s40,000 The horse was taken to the International Stock Food Farm in January, 1909, and since that time has been under the care of Harry Hersey, superinten- dent of the Minnesota River farm.
 During the summer of 1909 Minor Heir gave fifteen exhibitions at four teen fairs in thirteen different states. Only once during that time did he have weather and track that made world S record breaking possible. That was at Phoenix, Arizona, where he reduced his own record a quarter of second and tied the worlds re- cord for an unpaced mile The yer dict of horsemen and experienced tin- CTS standing at the wire was that Mi nor Heir paced the mile in 1 :59 flat and there was great disappointment expressed when the timers hung up 1:59 1-4, thus giving Minor Heir a tie instead of undisputed possession of the worlds record. This was a great disappointment, but in spite of the fact that Minor Heir did not get all he deserved he was the only horse to pace mile under two min utes during the season, and unless something very unusual happens, he will have large number of records at his mercy during 1910.
 Experts who have seen the great son of Heirat-Law this spring are enthusiastic in their expressions of what they think he cam do. His condi- 1 tion is perfect. He does not appear like the same horse that was taken to the International farm a year ago in January. He is larger, strong CT and so filled with spirit for do- ing things that in spite of his kind disposition he some times keeps his care-takers and trainers very busy. No effort will be spared and MT. Savage insists that he will take ad- vantage of every opportunity to get new worlds records with Minor Heir during the season.

A NEW TOWN
EVERY WEEK
AND A NEW SCHOOL EVERY
SCHOOL DAY.

The above caption about represents
the growth of Central Canada. The
statement was made not long since by
railroad man who claimed to have
made the remarkable discovery that
such was the case. There is not q
district of fair amount of settle
ment in any of the three Provinces of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
but has it's school, and the railways
have stations every seven or eight
miles apart, around which group the
towns, some large and some small,
but each important to its own district.
Schools are largely maintained by pub
lie funds and the expense of tuition is
but nominal sum.
The final returns of the grain pro-
duction for Central Canada for 1909 is
now in, and the figures show that the
value of the crops to the farmers of
that country is about 1876 million dol
lars, as compared with 100 million last
year. American farmers or those who
have gone from the United States, will
participate largely in these splendid
returns, and these comprise those who
have gone from nearly every State in
the Union.
One of the many proofs that might
be put forward showing the immense
wealth that comes to the farmers of
Central Canada is seen in the sum
that has been spent during the past
two or three months by the farmers
who have for the time being ceased
worrying over the reaper and the
thresher, and are taking to enjoying
themselves for two or three months.
1t is said that fifty thousand people of
these Western Provinces spent the
holiday season visiting their old
homes. Most of these passengers paid
forty and some forty-five dollars for
Britain, some to the Continent, others
to their old homes in Eastern Canada,
and many thousands went to visit
their friends in the States. The amount
paid alone in transportation would be
upward of two million dollars. Some
make the trip every years. 1t need
not be asked, Can they afford it?"
With crops yielding them a profit of
$40 to $25 per acre, and some having
as much as twelve hundred or more
acres, the question is answered. The
Canadian Government Agents at diff
ferent points in the States report that
they have interviewed great many
of those who are now visiting friends
in the different states, and they all ex-
press themselves as we'll satisfied,
and promise to take some of their
friends back with them. There is still
lot of free homestead land in splen-
did districts, and other lands can be
purchased at reasonable price from
railway and land companies.
