CATCHY SLOGAN FOR BOOSTING
OF STATE FAIR Is DECIDED
UPON.

A slogan for the ninth Kentucky
State Fair has been decided upon and
it is expected to become a household
word before September IL rolls
around. 1t is as follows:
"Tll be there; will you?"
The state fair management thinks
that all Kentuckians and southern In
dianians should be boosters" for the
Kentucky State Fair and this slogan
is suggested as an appropriate one to
use in that connection. 1t will be adj
vertised extensively and the hope is
expressed that it will be taken up and
used generously.
In using this slogan the person do
ing so suggests first that he or she is
going to attend the fair and thus be-
come a booster 1t then asks the
question: will your" In other
words, it puts it up to the person adj
dressed to get busy and join in max
ing the fair the greatest in the his
tory of the south. Just as the greet
ing "Howdy!" became a household
word in and around Louisville when
the Mystic Shrine met in that city,
so is the greeting, 'Tll be there; will
your" expected to become equally
popular the length and breadth of the
state.

CLASSY RACES BIC
FEATURE OF FAIR
TROTTlNG AND PACING EVENTS
WILL STIR BLOOD IN VEINS
OF ALL HORSE LOVERS.

Not content with an exceptionally
good racing card in the past, L. B.
Shropshire, assistant secretary of the
Kentucky State Fair, has figured it
out that a couple of added stakes
would about suit the popular taste
and he has suggested two trotting
races, one PIT and the other 2:2O
event. This suggestion met the ap
prevail of James L. Dent, member in
charge.
The early closing events, in which
the entries closed June 1, include the
2:15, 2:17, 2:2O and 2:25 classes in
the trotting, and the 2:14 and the 2:25
classes in the pacing events. The
purse in each of these events is $500
The additional classes include the
following offerings: Trotting-2:24
2:1S and 2:14 classes, purse $500 each
Pacing-2:25, 2:15 and free-for-all
classes, purse $500 each.
Entries for the class races will
close September 4, 1911. The pro
gram of races, distributed as they are
and calling for grand total of $4,000
in purses, should be sufficient to at
tract not only bunch of horses which
will furnish some excellent sport but
also an attendance of enthusiasts or
each of the five days.

FINE FOR THE CANDIDATES
BIG DAY DURING KENTUCKY
STATE FAIR SET ASIDE IN
THEIR INTEREST.

A Kentucky community without one
or more candidates, present or pros
pective, for a state or district Office,
is a sad community indeed. In old
Kentucky, according to tradition, chill,
dren are taught political dogmas with
their prayers. But add to the great
host of candidates for the more Inn
portant Offices the army Of those seek
ing city, or county, positions and a
force will be brought together suf6-
cient to drive both Madero and Diaz,
with their followers out of the turbu-
lent country of Mexico and into the
sea
The decision, therefore, to have one
day of Kentucky State Fair week set
aside to be known as Candidates day
is certain to meet with vociferous ap-
prevail and there need be no fear of a
record breaking crowd for the day on
that occasion.

<<~ WANT to see life This is the
line that l. found in the note

To many of us life means to get
down to the depths. We say about the
man with an unsavory reputation: He
has seen a. great deal Of life" But what
is life? The biologists tell us that Ii is
correspondence with ones environment -
That's a phrase which would keep some
of us guessing. In plain English it
means the ability to adjust ones self to
ones surroundings. II you were to see
brick falling off the roof and coming
straight at your head, you would dodge
the brick. This would indicate your abil-
ity to quickly adjust yourself to the sit
uation. And if the weather were very
hot, you'd have sense enough to wear
lighter clothing than you wore last De-
cember The man who cannot or will
not adjust himself to changing conditions
nor can he enjoy even little bit of it
very long. That man has most life who is
using eyes ears. hands and feet to the
utmost, taking in all that he can grasp
with full appreciation of the beautiful
things by which he is surrounded.
The bird has more life than the tree
because 1t can move about and has in
telligence. Man has more life than a
bird-but you see the point. It's a ques-
ton of correspondence. 1t seems
scarcely necessary TO add that there are
degrees of 'life in men. Some men see
and feel more than others. And in pro-

How can We escape if we neglect" To
neglect the higher things is to atrophy-
to die. To neglect to use hand or brain
means that these shall become useless.
To some men 1t is literally true that
there is no God"-spiritual things are
fooishness to them. They have neglected
so long that all spiritual perception has
been taken away from them. The fish in
the Mammoth cave OF Kentucky once
had eyes. But in the darkness they had
no use for them, SO they were taken
away. The mole insisted upon burrowing
into the ground, so nature penalized him
by taking away his eyesight. No more
can man escape if he neglects.

1t seems so sensible and reasonable thus
to interpret all our troubles. OF whatso-
ever kind they be. In their rough and
hard exterior We see only menace: but
within there are treasures hidden. We
learn patience. we learn endurance: we
learn the true character of happiness and
peace. Sympathy comes to the birth and
we know how TO bear the burdens OF

them our own: through pain learning to

to sing the sweetest hymns of submits

caves wait for the light to come. OF
course we have TO endure in silence the
tosture of human criticism and the bit

But what are these to the man who

TO make it bare before the God he loves?
What are these when the hero in his

because through them we pass to the
heart of things where we can see in the
darkness and know that which else might
be but a dreamy uncertainty. then, in
deed, are we blessed. For it is not only
a suggestion of philosophical wisdom, but
magnificent declaration of heroic and
inspired manhood, that trouble is not an
enemy but friend. God is In His heaven
and He Is upon His earth, too, and He
is with the child who trusts and serves
and needs. To walk with God in the
shadow is surely better than walking
alone in the light. To know that we are
approaching God by the thorny path is
to make that path a way of glory.
