PROPHETIC OF RECORD
BREAKING ATTENDANCE
Looks Now Like Space viii Have to
Be Provided to Accommodate
Exhibitors.

Hot Springs, Ark.-(Special. )-The
busiest bee hive and the liveliest
bunch in Hot Springs just now may
be seen at the Arkansas State Fair
office. Secretary Wblley and his
corps of assistants are so busy from
early morn till late at night, that the
proverbial cranberry merchant isn't In
1t, while President Westcott Is equally
active, helping to plan and direct the
general work. A State Fair boom
heretofore unprecedented Is sweeping
over the state. Never has the inter
est been SO great, and the manage
ment Is elated. The forecast indi-
cate an elaborate display and mon
ster attendance that will amaze the
public, and heroic efforts are being
put forth to prepare for 1t. Letters
are daily pouring In to the State Fair
office from every county and section
Of the state from prospective exhibit
ors asking for catalogs and reserving
space for exhibits, stalls for live stock,
pens for swine, or applying for con.
cesslons. 1t now looks like all avail
able space In the great exposition pal
0ce and agricultural hall will be taken
long before the opening date, and that
additional exhibit space will have to
bo provided. The magnificent fair
grounds, however, afford ample facili-
ties, and II Is the intention OF the
management TO handsomely take care
OF all comers, regardless OF extra ex.
pense. II would be well, however, for
oil persons desiring exhibit space in
exposition palace, or concessions, In
order to be provided for, and oil coun.
ty fair or counties intending to enter
county exhibits should by all means
notify the secretary at once and ask
for reservation Of space While the
displays from great manufacturing In.
stitutions in other states will be great.
er In number, variety and quality than
ever before, the most encouraging
feature is the vast increase In state
exhibits Of all kinds over any former
years This hhows that the aim OF the
management Is approaching full
realization-that the State Fair Is be.
coming not only In name but In fact
u great state institution, which
means In the way Of exploiting the
marvellous resources OF the banner
state IN the Union.
A force Of clerks are busy mailing
out catalogs and premium lists. These,
with entry blanks, can be had on up.
pllcation to the secretary.

Speaking Of Bread

ouh OiiipiiiiiShNo W - "a
SchulZe, president of the National
Association of Master Bakers, but
he is vociferating through his head
gear. His statement that home
made bread is more fatal than an
army with banners is mfoUnded
We frankly admit that poor bread
has wrecked many a home, but we
insist that most of the indigestible
stuff originated in a bakeshOp, not
in a kitchen.
1t must be admitted, however,
that the bakers have made wonder
full improvements in their art dur
ine the last four or five years, but
we have yet to see the bakers loaf
that can compare in toothsOmeneSs
or healthfulness with the lOaveS
turned out a couple of times a
week from the oven presided over
by a certain Little Woman. If you
have never put your tooth through
a slice of real, genuine old-fashiOn-
ed salt ris'n'" bread you have a
rare treat in store, provided you
can find some old-faShioned bread
maker who has not forgotten how
TO make it. We have attended
many high-falutin banquet in our
time, but never a one that afforded
the eastronomic joy that was ours
in days long gone by when we had
handed to us a slice of "salt-riS'n "
bread about two inches thick and
literally smeared with butter.
If ever we accumulate pile of
money so big we can't haul it in a
hayrack we're going to dodge IL
brary endowmcnts and all that sort
of thing, and offer splendid prizes
for the homemade bread. The GEN
uine article is worth its weight in
gold. The bakers business is thriv-
ing because too many girls are al
lowed to become prize fudge and
angels food makers while growing
up in ignorance OF the greatest of
all culinary accomplishments-the
making of good bread. And do not
become 0bsessed with the idea that
wheat is the only bread making ma
terial! Cornbread, the making of
which is rapidly becoming a lost
art--dyine out with the generation
of "befo' de wah" negro mammies
is a most toothsome dainty, The
hoecake, the johnniecake, cracklin'
bIead, pumpkin bread, corn loaf and
fiapjacks--saN there never was d
bakers loaf that could compare
with the corn c0ncoctions put up in
years gone by in kitchens presided
over by those old-time cooks. No,
sir; we're not of the jaded palate
class, We like real corn bread just
as much as ever, and we'll walk a
long ways any old day to Get it.
The difficulty in getting good corn
is not so much the lack Of skill on
the part of the breadmakers as ii is
the lack Of skill on the part Of the
part of millers II somebody will
locate for us a grist mill operated
by water power and using the old
fashioned stone burrs, wen put in
our order for a few hundredweiGlt
of meal ground from selected corn
