Simple Faith of Rretons.

There is probably no place In
France where the peasantry are more
inclined to believe in the so-called
hidden forces of nature, and where
the INSCRIPTIONS charlatan has SO
good an opportunity of deceiving his
listeners as in Brittany. Whether in
sickness or in health. the people OF
Brittany look for an answer to their
demands in the, mysterious kingdom
of the supernatural, and with a faith
which, to the educated, is sometimes
almost unbelievable. A curious in.

Prospects for the Seventh Annual
National Dairy Show, Chicago.

While this event has each year Civ.
en- evidence of its usefulness to the
dairy world, yet the rounding out OF
the seven-year period promises to
give to the country one of the most
valuable educational shows ever pre-.
sented. With the thought in mind that
the importation of dairy products is
growing to a dangerous amount and
that present prices and general con.
ditions concerning agriculture in
America warrant tremendous amount
of work to stop the terrific drain
upon oui. gold by foreign countries for
products we should and must grow
at home, the attention of the manage.
ment has been given entirely to the
rendering of practical demonstrations
on lines of the maximum of produc.
ton at the minimum Of cost. of dairy
products. While features of intense
moment on sanitary and hygienic
methods viii be presented yet the
paramount work of this great educa.
tional show is for the farmer.
Matters of breeding and feeding
will be presented by demonstration
and discussion; the better handling
and marketing Of dairy products viii
be discussed-in fact, everything that
viii tend to aid in profitable dairy
farming will be here shown and
talked over by the highest national
authorities. The machinery depart
ment will have many active, interest
ing and instructive exhibits It is the
intention that every exhibitor shall
have an opportunity TO display his ex-
hibit, wholly or in part, in active use,
thus giving practical demonstrations
under expert hands. But the COW and
her place upon the farm viii be the
paramount issue; with 100000 an
nually being shipped out of this coun-
try for dairy products, the COW and
how to increase her capacity has the
most need of consideration by all
patriotic citizens.
No farmer in the middle west. be he
already engaged in dairying or not, can
afford to overlook this ten-day short
course in all that is best for the farm.
In fact, this show has assumed a rela-
ton with farming and dairying that
makes it the annual roundup of all
affairs of the dairy world, where
show-yard battles are settled for the
season; where trades are made and
where matters affecting the next
years work are discussed and
planned.
The show will be held this year,
commencing October "a, in the Inter
national AmphitheateT. Chicago While
the show is National in name, it will
be International in character. as by
comparison alone are we able to see
what is being accomplished the world
over. Some new and useful classes
are being added to the classification,
which will be ready for distribution
shortly. Adv.

Gander With Fishing Line Tied to

A Wisconsin gander was so upset

The gander's determination TO alb

tried to induce the gander to go in
for another swim. but no amount OF
persuasion could get the bird to do so.
He simply could not be driven in. For

Traffic in White Slaves Profitable

Expert Who Seeks 100000 and p

Stanley w. Finch, for 20 years an at

statement above quoted he qualified it
by saying that it was a conservative
estimate.

Desire for fortune and easy" living
on the part of the dealers, and the sus.
ceptibility of young girls to fraud and
deceit, are the causes, directly, for the
startling growth of the traffic in the
United States, Mr.. Finch said
"One million dollars will suppress
the traffic, and for $25O,OOO year II
can be kept suppressed" said Mr..
Finch.
Mr.. Finch began his real campaign
for suppression of white slavery last
May, and the system he has perfected
has been installed in Maryland, Viz
