Dogs can be seen running at large

route pass by the house, though he
may have letter addressed to some

The State Board of Agriculture will
pay the expenses Of two boys from
each county 10 the Ohio State Fair, to
be held in Columbus during the week
of August '26th to 31st. Expenses
mean railroad fare, board and bed
from time of leaving home and return.
Boys must be between the ages of 15
and 20 years. Boys who won the trip
last year not eligible to compete in
1912. The great success and educa.
tional value of sending one boy from
each county last year induced the
State board to have two boys this year.
In counties where one or more of.
fers have been made to send boys
on the free trip to Washington for the
growing Of best acres Of corn, only
those boys who are entered In the
corn growing contest will be eligible
to be candidates for the free trip to
the State Fair. In counties where no
free trip Is offered, the competition is
open to all boys OF right age.
Other states have taken up the
Ohio plan of paying the expenses OF
farm boys to study the big Exposition

It and other states will follow. The
