- Now comes one Web. M. Rubey
of Macon and gays that the appro-
priatiOn for the perpetuation of the
memory of General Price and Mark
Twain is in violation of the consti-
tuition of the state of Missouri and
that this money cannot be legally
paid for this purpose. Isn't it a
shame to impose upon these great
and loveable Missourians an illegal
memorial? We do not know just
how long this constitutional censor
may live but we would be willing
to wager few dollars that no such
unconstitutional act will ever be
enacted in his behalf. II so the in
scription would probably be forget

BIG ATTRACTION FOR WOMEN
West Michigan State Fair Offsrs
II In Needle and Fancy
Work.

No department OF any fair 10 more
attractive to the women than that Of
needle and fancy work. The West
Michigan State Fair, at Grand Rap
ids, this year Sept. IL to Is, has al
ways made the department one Of its
great features. This year an especial
effort had been made along these
lines by Mrs. Charles Candee, super
intendent of the department En-
tries are coming in daily in vast num-
bers and the liberal premiums offered
make the department especially at
tractive to exhibitors.
The classes offered are most extern
sive and there is mighty little which
the skillful hand of the woman can
make which will not find place in
this department and with a chance for
n reward for the time and labor spent
In preparing the beautiful articles
shown.

LIVE STOCK FAIRS
BIG FEATURE
Best Herds In the Central West VIII
Be on Exhibition at Grand
Rapids, Sept. Ills.

Live stock forms, perhaps. the most
interesting feature of every fair. TO
the farmer, the fine cattle. sheep and
swine exhibited are objects OF wise
comparisons. To the city-bred man
and woman who knows nothing OF the
merits or dement's Of the animals.
there is q fascination raised probably
by the beauty of the beasts and again
by the curiosity In seeing just what
the best samples of the creatures look
like.
This feature has always been one of
the strongest In the West Michigan
State Fair, which exhibits at Grand
Rapids, September IL to 10 this year
Every effort has been made to attract
the finest herds In the country with
special reference to those OF Michigan
and to give opportunity to everybody
to learn something about the animals,
their points Of beauty and perfection
and how these points were produced
The management OF the fair has es-
tablished In the department OF cattle
q fine show ring with seats In the
form of an amphitheater around 1t,
where spectators may sit In safety
while the high blooded stock Is
brought out and passed under the
hands and eyes of the most competent
judges to be found.
Ii has been customary for one OF
the experts to give little lecture on
the stock as 1t comes along, telling OF
its points of perfection and likewise
its faults and how to remedy them.
This has proven most instructive to
farmers and cattle raisers and a gen.
eral improvement In the cattle OF
western Michigan may be traceable to
some considerable extent to this fea-
ture OF the West Michigan State Fair.
The same practice has been followed
with reference to the sheep and swine
and in all departments the fair ON
Gals have reserved the right to debar
from the grounds any stock which is
not up to the highest standard and
therefore give to the people only the
best that is raised.
1t was at this fair the first herd OF
Brown Swiss cattle was shown In
Michigan. That attracted much atten-
ton and now there are large num-
Der of herds in the state and each
year several are entered in the classes
offered for them.
The superintendent OF the i've
stock departments are: w. F. Raven,
East Lansing. cattle; c. A. Bloomer,
Grand Rapids, sheep, and c. c. Hallen-
beck. Vermontville, swine.

Only Two More Sundays

The Park meetings inauguratcd last
year by the churches of this city, and
continued this season have been great
ly appreciated by the City in general.
The attendance has been good from
the start.
The spirit uplifting and inspiring,
even the free will offerings have been
generous. As last season many people
regret they must close, according TO
plans agreed to, the meetings close a
week earlier than last season, on ac-
count of beginning n week earlier.
We trust that many will avail
themselves of the privilege of the last
two meetings, August 10 and Goth. at
500 p. NAT the Grand Stand Park.

TO INSTRUCT THE FARMERS
Agricultural College TO Exhibit AZ
West Michigan State Fair.

The department Of farm and garden
produce at the West Michigan State
Fair. at Grand Rapids, September IL
to is. will offer something of especial
Interest and instructiveness to farm
ers this year. The farmer OF Michigan
has turned his attention TO raising his
crops on the most scientific basis pos.
sible and is always looking for some
thing better by which he may i'm
prove what he already has.
The department OF agronomy OF the
Michigan Agricultural college will this
year make big display of grain and
fodder crops, both seed and straw, In
order that patrons of the fair may be-
come better acquainted with the old
and new varieties and set ideals which
the farmers may seek to equal In their
own crop production.
To still further encourage the pro-
duction OF fruits and farm crops In
the newer sections Of the state, a big
space has been set apart In the agri-
cultural building for county exhibits
alone. This will permit OF q con-
parison OF the successes In the vari-
Gus counties and afford a keen rivalry
for the supremacy. Liberal premiums
have been offered for this feature q
The fair this year.

Harroun Also Probable.

Harroun, the winner of the great
Indianapolis race, the greatest ever
held in America, is another probable
ity. That race was OF so recent a
date that none has had a chance to
forget the terrible features of It, when
tires, rendered glowing by the fric-
tion rolled away, spilling the drivers
and mechanicians upon the track in
the path of the oncoming demons Of
death. That there was but one fatal
ity, II will be remembered, was due
to the marvellous work and terrible
risk taken by the other drivers who
swerved their cars upon two wheels
past the outstretched bodies and
themselves escaped death by but q
hairs breadth.
Other entries are the Flying Squad
racing team Of Chicago, driving 100
horse power De Dietrich cars and
holding the worlds record for 100
miles.
These events, which will be held
Wednesday, Sept. 10, and which is
Grand Rapids day, will attract to the
fair grounds the greatest crowd which
ever damned through the gates and
the thrills in store cannot be told In
advance.
One interesting feature of such
races may not be generally known to
the public. None of these great rae
ing cars are driven to and from the
fair grounds. Their drivers always
tow them with slow car. The rea-
son Is simple when II Is understood.
Michigan laws prohibit the driving Of
cars faster than 25 miles an hour, and
local ordinances prohibit driving
faster than Is miles In the outskirts
and miles in the downtown district
Now these great cars are so powerful
and are geared so high that they can
not be slowed down to less than 40
miles an hour, so II would manifestly
be impossible for the driver to OBJ
serve the laws. Moreover, one Of
those great cars going at so miles an
hour would endanger the lives Of
thousands of persons. For this reason
IL Is necessary to tow them to and
from the trains and also upon the
track.

SPEED DEMONS TO
RACE At BIG FAIR
WILD BOB BuRNAM AND HAIR
RouN TO THRILL VISITORS AT
GRAND RAPIDS SEPT. 11.15.
RACING ON WEDNESDAY
All the Reckless Feats Of the In
danapolis and other Track
Will BE Possibilities In
This Event.

The two most marvellous inven-
tons Of the genius of mantle aero
plane and the automobile-will be
very much in evidence at the annual
exposition of the West Michigan State
Fair In Grand Rapids, Sept. III to 10.
Nothing has ever been invented that
will equal the tremendous speed OF
the great, powerful racing automobile.
nor the conquering OF the air by the
aeroplane.
Put the two together in a mad race
around the mile track at the fair
grounds and the spectators will have
all the thrills they can stand In one
day. But this is what the officials OF
the fair have provided for this years
heart palpitator.
But better even than this, Secretary
f. ID. Conger has arranged for auto
mobile races between the fastest cars
ever seen on any track and driven by
those speed demons who know no
fear and who daily risk their lives In
hairrraising feats which try the
nerves of the onlookers.
Among the possible entries in these
thrilling events are Wild Bob Bur
nam in his great Benz car, who holds
the worlds records for speed and who
but recently invited president Taft to
enjoy a ride with him. The president
looked at the great whirring car and
declined with thanks, saying he would
be pleased to see Bob ride, but for
himself he would take a slower ma
chine.

Ptomaine Poisoning

A Liberal physician was called

cases of ptomaine poisoning. In
the afternoon, Mrs. Ross made
some ice cream, and the family, as
we'll as Mrs. Kent and Mrs. Wood
ward of Tyrone, enjoyed the re-
freshments. In a little while they
became violently ill. The cases
were typical ptomaine poisoning
cases, and will probably recover.
