glass and specimens of honey made
from goldenrod, Eastwood, clover,
etc.. were attractively displayed, as
we'll as preserves and pickles in
honey.
In butter there was a larger exhibit
than in any previous year and the
quality was Of the finest. The
country surrounding Princeton is be-
coming decidedly dairiyng territory
and there were many excellent dis
plays.
The lady exhibitors did themselves
proud in the bread, pastry, preserves
and domestic manufacture depart
ments and entered a large assortment
in each. The pastry and preserves
looked especially enticing, and in
fancy work the handiwork was attrac-
tive to high degree-no mere man is
capable of producing anything that
| would compare with it.
This year there were more paintings
than usual in the fine art department
many of them excellent productions
in oils and water colors. There we're
three exhibits worthy of special men,
ton, viz, the displays of the high,
Whittier and rural schools which con.
sisted of drawings, paper fancy work,
etc., and which showed remarkable
advancement in this line of work dur.
ing the past year. The teachers are
entitled to much credit for the pains
which they have taken in bringing
their pupils up to so marked a degree
of perfection. County Superintendent
Guy Ewing was handicapped in dis
playing the art work of the rura
schools, of which he had made large
collection. By some mistake or mis-
understanding he was unable to OBJ
tain space for displaying the collec
ton on the walls so was obliged tt
content himself with leaving it in tn
portfolios in which it was received
Many people, however, viewed thes'
art productions of the boys and girl
in the country schools and expressed
themselves as well pleased with tn
achievements.
Some fine stock in horses was dis
played and Dennis Kaliher, tn
superintendent, who knows a goo,
horse when he sees it, says that neve
before has such a splendid assortmen
of high-grade horses been shown at
Mile Laos county fair. The stable
this year were crowded, in fact som
of the ponies had to be housed in tn
cattle building, condition hilbert,
unknown. Hence it is presumed tina
an extension to this building vii
have to be made ere another yea
rolls round.
In the cattle department there was
, remarkably fine display with tn
dairy kline predominating. The silve
prize cup offered by the State Dairy
mems association for the best herd {
dairy cattle entered from Mile Lac
) county was awarded to P. W. Jensen
. who afterwards sold two bull calve.

though those which we're displayed
we're of high grade.
In poultry there was an excellent
showing-fowls of many varieties
being entered. Most Of the birds
we're displayed in coops Of adequate
size but some of the Enclosures were
altogether too small. VIM. Marsh,
perintendent of the department,
compelled some of the exhibitors to
place their fowls in larger coops and
threatened to bar others. Mr.. Marsh
is man who understands poultry and
knows its requirements. He kept the
Enclosures as clean as was possible
and fed and watered the fowls three
times a day during the fair.
Down in agricultural row there was
a magnificent display of farm ma
chinery operated by gasoline engines,
and various makes of wagons and
| buggies were on exhibition. The
Galley Hardware company and the
Evens Hardware company had dis
plays with special machinery demon
strators and Peterson & Nelson and
the McIlhargey company also had ex-
hibits. The Princeton village COM
mission had very attractive electri-
cal exhibition showing motors, wash
ing machines, electric irons, etc. One
OF the features was comparative
showing of the tungsten and carbon
lights. An exposed meter was exhi-
bited by the demonstration, Ralph
Whitney, which showed the difference
in the amount of current consumed by
each. light. When the carbon light
was : utilized the meter registered
about two-thirds more than it did
when the tungsten was turned On
and the tungsten gives about three
times the light that the carbon does.
Users of electric light were given a
clear illustration of how they car
save money. One OF the specialties ir
agricultural row was a Melrose con
vertible wagon, exhibited by Rufus P
Morton. Mr.. Morton showed how
by the manipulation of screws ani
rods, this wagon can be readily con
verified into a hay rack, hog rack
cattle rack, picnic wagon, etc. L

visitors as to the excellence of the
organization. The band certainly
played in excellent manner upon this

was appreciated by everyone-even

Brands moving picture show was
one of the attractions and many
people passed a pleasant hour view
ing the life-like scenes portrayed in
the improvised theater.
Mans6eld's pony and dog show was
another attraction and the animals
were we'll trained, but the poor dogs
were so emaciated that they appeared
to be half starved. Then again they
were confined in such close quarters
that they could scarcely stir around

AS to the Displays.

AS Co CH0 DlSpAdfss
In vegetables, grain and grasses
nothing had ever been seen at a Mile
Laos county fair which would in any
way compare with the exhibits in
either quality, quantity or variety
there we're specimens of almost every
thing which the soil is capable of pro.
ducing. It was magnificent display
which should go long way toward
advertising the fertile soil-the pos.
sibilities this rich farming county.
Everything was this year classified
and arranged in regular order and
the hall decorated with flags and
bunting by Supt. Scheen. This added
greatly to the attractiveness of the
display. Robt. Clark, who has here.

visitors. Luckily ideal weather pre-
vailed with the exception of Thursday
morning, when a drizzling rain fell
and prevented many people living. in
the country districts from coming to
town. Friday was the banner day in
number of attendance and Saturday
was not far behind. Praise for the
management of the fair was heard on
every hand and visitors were de-
lighted with the transformation of the
grounds from lot of tumble-down
buildings to magnificent new exhibit
halls. But it is evident that some of
these exhibit halls will not be su66-
GENTLY large to accommodate the dis
plays next year, and additions or new
buildings will IN some cases have
to be erected. For instance, the fruit,
preserve and pastry departments will
have to be moved out of agricultural
Observation-Disclosures Scheen having
been taxed to his wits end to squeeze
the abundance of exhibits entered
into the allotted space. Then the
horse barns will have to be extended.
But these things can be easily accom-
plished.
The arrangement of buildings upon
the grounds could not have been i'm
proved upon. President .Bryson had
so distributed them that the crowds
we're consequently divided up-the
people we're not all concentrated in
one place at the same time.

Nice Compliment for Former Mt.
Sterling Woman.

A nice notice of Miss Betsy
Cloud, who formerly lived here
and was educated in. our Public
school. appeared in the Ports
mouth News, New Hampshire,
where she organized a play ground
this summer:
AS Miss Cloud leaves us it
may be well to speak of the work
which she has accomplished.
Those who have been visitors at
the play ground and those who
have taken the trouble to inquire
of the little folks have all been
convinced that in her association
with our children Miss Cloud has
shown herself to be. not alone an
excellent play ground worker, but
a woman who is able to get at the
children, whether organizing play
on the field or directing the folk
dance at the shelter house, or
guiding the little hands in the
simple arts and crafts possible for
the play ground. she has shown
ability, wisdom, skill and sympa-
thy and as she leaves, she takes
with her the. appreciative graft
of parents and citizens.
Miss Cloud needs no words of
commentator. The children are
a living testimonial to her popu-
larity and her work speaks for her
in no uncertain terms"

OpeES Campaign at Bowling
Green.

Hon. Jas. B. McCreary opened
his campaign for Governorship
last Monday before large and
enthusiastic crowd.
He answers the questions put to
him by Judge O'Rear and pro-
pounds the Judge few himself.
He states clearly his position on
all matters and urges the voters to
do their duty.
The following are some of the
questions he asks Judge O'Rear to
answer:
Judge O'Rear wrote the resolu-
tons adopted at the Republican
State Convention which Endorsed
the Administration of President
Taft and which recommended
President Taft for denomination
as the Republican candidate for
President.
In this connection, ] wish to ask
the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, Judge O'Rear, questions
which are very interesting to all
the people of Kentucky and which
involve cheaper clothing, cheaper
food, cheaper farming machinery
and implements, cheaper mechan-
les tools and also justice under the
law.
Do YOU indorse President Taft's
veto of the bill reducing the exist
ing tariff taxes on wool and wool
en- goods!
Do you indorse President Taft's
veto of the bill reducing tariff
taxes on Cotton Goods!
Do you indorse the votes against
the Farmers Free List Bill, which
were cast by Senator Bradley and
Representative Powers and eyour
Campaign Chairman, Representa-
tive Langley9 ..''' :'"''c s.I
Do you indorse the Payne
Aldrich Tariff Bill, which Presi-
dent Taft signed, and which he
said was the best Republican tariff
law ever passedl
Do you indorse the pardon by
Governor Wilson of Taylor, Fin
ley, Howard and Powers?
You have been silent on these
questions, some of which involve
the reduction of the price of cloth
ing, food, farming machinery and
mechanics tools, to the amount of
hundreds of millions of dollars.
These questions are of grave and
vital importance to the people of
Kentucky, and the people of Ken
lucky want to know where you
stand. Come out candidly and say
where you are.
For the benefit of our readers
we will reproduce Mr.. McCreary's
speech in full in our next issue,
lack of space preventing this week.
