Commander Ward, recognizing the

yards.
Il sent all my men into the boats, %

command of the detail, in his report,

counted them and found they Were

The lieutenaut's modesty did not

PREMIUMS

Four County Fair Manage
ment Offers Liberal and
Varied Prizes for Exhibits

More liberal premiums than are
offered by any other than the Topeka
and Hutchinson fairs is the an
nouncement made by Secretary w.
w. Stanheld of the Four County
Society in presenting the premium
list of the fair to be held here Sep
TENDER IS to 90 inclusive. Third
and fourth premiums offered in all
the live stock and farm departments
and in many of the others in add
ton to first and secondprizes offered
by the usual fair is another advant'
tage given to exhibitors at the Four
County Fair. The fair manage ment
with pardonable pride also calls
attention to the fact that in almost
all classes there is considerable in
crease in the amount of the prem
iums offered heretofore. The eff
cials therefore urge all to whom the
list may come to bring to the -Four
County Fair their choicest products
and place them on exhibition not 80
much for the sake of the money that
may be won thereby, as for the pride
and satisfaction that may well be
taken i in their production and
ownership.
The merchants and other business
men of Chanute have added a long
list of special prizes to the regular
premiums offered by the fair manage
ment. Many of these are especially
for the benefit of the ladies and the
boys. For this help the manage:
ment is grateful and solicits the
further assistance of all in making
the Four County Fair the success
that it deserves to have.

OUR SEA FIGHTERS.
United States Navy Will Make Notable
Exhibit at the State Fair.

United States Navy Will Make Notable
Exhibit at the State Fair.
If Kansas was connected with the
coast by a waterway of sufficient size
she might enjoy a naval display OF
real war vessels. But being handbook
ed as she is does not prevent Uncle
Sam from demonstrating by immense
models the fighting units of the navy.
Through the efforts of the manage
ment of the Kansas State Fair Tope-
ka will have the honor of presenting
to the patrons Of the Fair one OF the
most interesting and valuable lessons
in sea warfare ever shown In the
west. In compliance with requests
through accredited authorities the ma
Wy department has consented to SEND
several naval officers here during the
Fair with an exhibit that If now be-
ing assembled at the Washington ma
val bureau. This exhibit will occupy
space Ia the arts building and Will In
clude six large models Of the various
types of war vessels In our navy, by
which the unenlightened may gain a
correct idea Of the way the men be-
hind the guns live at sea and how
America has attained supremacy for
its craftsmanship with monster guns.
There will also be exhibits from the
electrical and seamen gunners' classes,
which will be full Of interest and
which will be brand new to many
thousands who have never seen the
workings OF our navy In peace or war
except through pictures. More can be
got from the real thing than pictures
can portray, and with the presence OF
experienced officers to explain every
detail there is no reason why this ex-
hibit should not make the Kansas
landlubber Just as familiar with the
workings of the navy as the residents
of the coast states. The accession or
this government exhibit is something
never accorded other than a worlds
fair in the past, and its coming re-
eects great credit upon the Kansas
Btate Fair managers.

that's in you, whatever it may be, and
thereby contribute to the editication OF
others and incidentally boost your Fair
Many an exhibitor has been surprised
that his exhibit has won prize. But
If he hadn't made the entry he would
have never known.
This progressive age demands more
than the Old fashioned agricultural
show. 1t must combine diversified ex-
hibits covering every branch OF man
ufacture, and must Of necessity carry
with it some form of amusement that
will divert the young mind, partlcu-
larry, from all work and no play. The
exposition idea has consequently doml-
mated of late, but however complex
the ingredients of a fair of today II
cannot get away from the educational
feature. 1t must show to the world
the best that can be produced from
the farm, the factory, the mill and the
shop, as boost for the locality In
which the fair is held. So with a
state fair it covers the entire state
and must be a demonstration of the
highest achievements of its people,
whether farmers or mechanics.
Kansas is distinctly an agricultural
state, but the State Fair at Topeka
must cater not alone to the farmer
but the artisan Of the cities, the man
ufacturer, the professional man, the
wage Garner, the domestic worker-in
short, everybody. There is enough
patriotism in each class to readily I'M
derstand this, and therefore each
strives to make of the fair in his coun-
ty, district or state an exponent OF
the best efforts of live and up to date
commonwealth.
The amusement features of fair
are but the side issues that are de-
handed during a time when day or
week of visiting away from home
must contain some form of rational
fun. Just as a dentist attending as
delegate from his home town the ma
tional convention Of dentists will re-
uuire some form of amusement to
while away some of the hours of his
/
trip, so will the stock breeder, show
ing fine cattle or interested in seeing
that branch of the fair, look about for
some diversion during his stay In the
city. He is educated and amused.
Because the fair is an educator is
very good reason why the people
should lend their encouragement.
Though they have no idea of taking
up the work along advanced lines to
that they may earn premiums is no
reason why the taking up of the work
by others will not indirectly benefit
them. The encouragement of the pro-
ducers of the best in all lines is the
object of all fairs. Any patriotic cid'
zen should be willing to lend his pres
ence as a boost to the exhibitor even
though he is not producer himself.
That is small matter, but if followed
by everybody would make Of the state
fairs the worlds best colleges.
All sorts of advertisers will boost
their particular method Of advertising,
but 1t can be truthfully said that no
advertiser will deny that besides being
an educator, the state fair is the best
advertisement that the state can pos
sibly get.

to acquire great velocity while falling,
and this makes a hailstorm destruc.

formation of hail is that powerful as

frozen and chilled, forming bodies on
which rapid condensation takes place
when they fall to a warm and moist
stratum below. This theory explains
the layering Of structure often found,
