"GRANDER THAN EVER"
WISCONSIN STATE FAIR THIS
YEAR SEPT. 1916
WOMEN'S DAY-A new FEATURE
May Secure Sham Battle for Mill
tary Day.-State immigration
Board to have Display

AS September rolls around each year
and the annual State Fair becomes the
topic in agricultural and industrial cir
cles, the oft repeated phrase "this
years State Fair will be greater than
any of its predecessor" sounds famil-
lar to those interested. To a certain
extent this statement has been true
each year, but in bettering some de-
partments or some features of the
states big educational and agricul-
tural institutions in the past, other
features and departments have been
neglected.
The 1911 State Fair has been organ
lied to the point when the greater
than ever" phrase becomes permiss-
ible The State Board of Agriculture
has gone at this years Fair more de-
lberate and on broader principles than
heretofore and as result the grain
growing farmer, the dairy farmer and
the beef breeding farmer will find
something in every Minutes time spent
at the Fair in Milwaukee, September
IL to Is, that will compensate him
many fold for the time and expense
indalged in during visit to the states
agricultural show.
The State Horticultural Society will
demonstrate to the landseeker that
Wisconsin offers a better apple grow
ing field than any of the western
states. In tent separate from the
regular horticultural exhibits, Secre-
tary Cranefield of the State Horticul-
tural Society will make an exhibit of
apples grown in Wisconsin for the
commercial market. In this apple
show, the first of it's kind to be held in
Wisconsin, there will be more than 300
exhibits of bushel or barrel of apples
of every variety grown in the state.
The State immigration Commission
er, also in a separate and distinct ex-
hibit from the regular county exhibits,
will show a collection of grasses and
grains developed in the cut-over coun-
ties .of Northern Wisconsin, through
the cooperation of settlers and the
University of Wisconsin Agricultural
College.
The State Fair Board, through it's
special attraction committee, will pro-
vide variety of entertainment for the
visitor to the Fair. One of the at
tractive features for every day of the
Fair will be an exhibition of the pro-
gress of aeronautics. There will be
shown at one time in the air the famil-
lar hot air balloon with it's parachute
jumper; the derigible balloon, steered
by it's engineer into and across the
winds, and the aeroplane, the latest
and most sensational 'heavier than
air" device invented for aerial naviga-
ton. These aerial devices will be in
operation in front OF the grand stand
at the same time every afternoon and
evening and will afford unique and
sensational attraction.

a Good Rain

A steady, drizzling rain began falling
Tuesday morning and continued all day
and into the night, thoroughly satura-
ting the surface of the earth. This
immediate vicinity was not suffering
for want of rain, but it was quite gen
eral throughout the middle west and in
some places came just in time to pre-
vent total failure of corn and other
crops.

but I think the primary should also de- termine Alabama's second choice for the presidential nominee. I am strongly for MT. Underwood. and believe he would make an ideal President, and would be delighted to see him nominated. However. I realize, as must all clear thinking men, that the two leading candidates for the democratic nomination are Harmon and Wilson and that it is likely that Ala bama's vote eventually go to one or the other of these two men I do not see how it would imply aught of disloyalty to MT. Underwood. nor in any way inn pair his chances of receiving the nomi- nation, to let the question as to who shall receive the vote of Alabama's dele gation, if it should become apparent that MT. Underwood cannot receive the nom- ination, be decided by direct primary, any more than it would to leave this question to the individual decision of the individual delegates to the national con- vention For these reasons l favor Un- derwood for President direct primary for the election of delegates to the na- tional convention, and a primary for an expression of Alabama's second choice of democratic presidential nominee.

MISTRIAL ORDERED
 IN CANTON CASE

 The two young burglars were caught near the Farrar home by the attorney and a negro servant, but Rene Canton broke from the grasp of Farrar, ran a few feet and turned and fired one shot, which penetrated the heart of the law yer Both confessed to numerous rob berries and Rene Canton admitted fir ing the fatal shot, but claimed he shot to protect himself from Farrar, whose reasosns for pursuing him he professed not to know at the time.

FOOTBALL STARS
 D ATTRACT MUCH ATTENTION

Nashville. December 16.-(Special) )-More krogress in the way of forcing reoogni- sion of southern football talent the past HaIl than in the previous decade has come about, not only on account of an unusual number of Dixie stars playing on south ern squads. but in the large eastern col Ilege outfits as we'll In addition. south tsrn teams, Vanderbilt in particular, have more and more come to take on games with the hitherto self constituted big leaguers and shown by actual dsmonstra- Ieion just what sort of form has been de- Neioped on hitherto strange and unrecog- inized territory.
 Up to this year. Metzger of Vanderbilt twas the only man playing on a southern team to receive eastern notice as all American ca1ibre. This was at the hands of Camp last season, the official eastern picker this year taking no notice what ever of anything below the Mason and tDixon and in the face of an undoubted RIray of players capable of being consid- tered by unbiased and informed students of the game as among the very best in the country.
 Ted Coy, noted Yale star, captain and coach, now living at Chattanooga, wit messed the Thanksgiving game at Nash ville and immediately chose Captain Ray Morrison for one of his halves and among a dozen Honorable mentions included IIardage and Freeland- McWhorter of Georgia was also justly recognized by a few critics as all American timber, as was Metzger again.

GEORGIA ENFORCES
 NEW PURE FOOD LAW
Inspector Methvin Has Been Making Tour Over the State to Note
 Conditions

Atlanta, December 16.-(Special.) )-Pure Food Inspector P. A. Methyin is conclud- ing his last tour of the state in the en- forcement of the pure food law of Geor- gia. Inspector Methvin reports that the number of violations is rapidly becoming less and that Georgia is ranking among the pure food states of the country. Be fore the enactment of this law, which has done so much to improve the food condi- tions for man and beast Georgia was the dumping ground for misbranded and adul- terated food stuffs. One of the prime requisites for high class cattle food is protein. and the department of agriculture is seeing to iu that this law is lived up to to the fullest extent.
 l Cotton seed meal which is turned out in such wonderful amounts at the various cotton oil mills is rich in this all essen- tial ingredient, and as a result practically every brand of cattle feed that is offered for sale in Georgia contains a large amount of cotton seed meal. The reports from all sections of the state are to the effect that the demand for home consump- tion and for export at the seaports for cotton seed meal is increasing because the world around it is recognized as the least expensive and best cattle food ob- tainable.

Appearing on the Surface

On the surface, it is seen that both sys- tems have their advocates, but that the majority members of the committee are in favor Of the convention plan. There appears little doubt of it. Likewise, there appears little doubt of the fact that an agreement has been reached by the ma jority of the committeeman to vote for the convention plan, but down deep in the hearts of politicians in and about the cap itol the belief is expressed that the order Will never be issued; that the convention will not be allowed the privilege of nam ing the presidential delegates that the primary IS the demand of the people, and that it must be had.
 Undoubtedly the people are for the pri- mary. They look upon it as their unalien- able democratic right. Spokesmen of the people throughout the commonwealth have declared for it in no uncertain terms. Regardless of the numerous merits in the convention plan, they believe that the people should be allowed the privilege of casting their direct vote for the men Of their choice

MEETING OF STATE COMMITTEE WILL
 BE INTERESTING Question of Selection of Ma tiOnal Delegates Will
 Be Decided THE CONVENTION
 OR THE PRIMARY? Both Systems Have Their Advocates. Goodwin Favors Convention But Julian and Screws Want a
 Primary-Interviews
By BERRYMAN c. BETTY

| Montgomery, December 16-(Spe-
 cial. Jon Wednesday of next week the giant political mak CTS and promoters of Alabama will meet in Birmingham at called meeting for the ostensible pur-
 pose of appointing a successor to fill l a dead mans shoes. The meeting seems innocent enough and to all ap
 pearances is but from rumblings that have been going the rounds for the past month it is to be a smoking vol cano, an overwhelming hurricane. In fine, it is to decide on one of the ] fine democratic points of the day be-
 fore decision is reached as to wheth-
 CT the state of Alabama shall instruct
 its presidential delegates to the next
 national committee through a state
 primary or by making use of the con-
 vention plan.
 | That is the work that is now sketched
 out for the state democratic executive
 committee, of which Tyler Goodwin of
 this city is the chairman. Several weeks
 ago he called for a meeting of the com
 mittee in Birmingham for the 20th of
 December, specifying that one of the main purposes of the meeting would be | to elect successor to the oHlce or
 state national committeeman, recently
 made vacant by death of John w. Tom linson of Birmin gham. Since sending
 out the call, however, it is known that
 the committeeman have about settled | on Commissioner James Weatherly for
 the task and so they will cast their bal lots on Wednesday, hence the purpose | for which the meeting is called is a | nominal one. The matter is expected | to be adjusted within a few moments after convention, but when it comes to the matter of deciding whether or not presidential delegates shall be instruct ed by primary or convention the task becomes more onerous, the difficulty more pronounced.
 The question of foremost interest in the state, accordingly, is the time hon. ored one of primary or conVention- which shall it be?
