a better fair each year than any pre-
vious one, and after twelve months OF
well directed and continuous labor.
they have succeeded in reaching the
goal of their ambition, and the expos
ition Of 1912 will be superior in every
respect to any state fair ever held in
this country.
So far as entries are concerned.
the biggest state fair in the history of
Missouri is assured, and the arrange
ment of the attractive displays of the
various kinds Of products will COM
plete all preparations for this wears
state fair.
The displays OF agricultural and
horticultural products will be surpriz-
lngly large. and on of the in
creased number of county displays.
there will be an overflow from the
large Agricultural builoiug into shelter
tents in the immediate vicinity.
The exhibition of all kinds of ma
chinery will be wonderfully large and
OF necessity will occupy a large area
OF territory. The Poultry show will
be the largest and best ever seen on
the fair grounds. All of the GOODS in
the Poultry building have been assign
ed to exhibitors, and additional GOODS
have been ordered to meet the con
tinuOus demand.
The Art department this year will
furnish a surprise. The Zolney coll
lection of his best work of sculpture
will be placed on exhibition in the
Art building. Prof. John Pickard, OF
the State University. will have charge
OF the Art department. and he has Sc
cured for exhibition the masterpieces
of the most prominent artists of the
Middle West.
The light horse show will be the
best ever given. One hundred and
ninety saddlers and roadsters have
been entered, and many of these high
school horses will be seen at the three
night horse shows. All OF the stalls
in the several cattle barns have been
assigned, and with the heavy horses.
some OF them direct importations from
Europe to the fair grounds, the stock
show will be the best in recent Years.
The fair opens September 2S,h, and
closes October 4tn.

WOULD LIFT LID
ON "HOME" EGGS
Requests for Modification of Poul-
try Regulations Not Favored
by Officials.

Since the price OF eggs began to soar
several months ago. there have been
many complaints in Washington that the
police regulations respecting the keeping
OF poultry prevent many poor persons
from enjoying the luxury OF home-raised
eggs.
The District oficials are listening to
the complaints. but Il is not likely that
the regulations will be amended. Dr.
William C. Woodward, health oficer. ad-
mits that there may be a few persons
who are deprived OF the privilege OF
raising poultry, but these cases. he says,
do not justify amendment OF the regu-
lations
The present regulations prohibit the
keeping OF poultry within twenty-five
feet OF any structure owned by any per-
son other than the cwner OF the poultry
and used for hsbitatlon. occupation. or
assembly" In order to keep one or more
ROSTERS, II Is necessary TO get the writ
ten consent OF the majority OF the resi-
dents of the block within which the
fowls are 10 be kept.
THE regulations apply only to the
keeping OF poultry within the fire limits
of the city, said DR.. Woodward. There
Is no Prohibition in the suburban sec
tions. I should say that only about 10
per sent Of the apI Hcations made TO the
health department for the keeping OF
poultry are rejected. There are now 55s
persons to whom permits have been Is
sued in the District"

VERBAL CLASH AS
TO POWER PRESS
Expert Plate Printer stoutly Cham
piOns Work of the Hand
Pressmen.

Waxing warm. the fight OF the powey
presses versus hand presses for the Bu-
reau OF Engraving and Printing being
waged before the Senate Printing COM
mittee was yesterday afternoon adjourned
until 7:s0 o'clock Thursday evening. after
Chairman s. f. Beach. OF the executive
committee OF the Plate Printers Union,
had aroused Director Ralph. Of the bu-
reau, by giving testimony antagonistic
TO the cause OF power presses.
Beach. who Is one OF the best printers
of the bureau. according to the admis-
sion OF Director Ralph. was the principal
witness Of the day, and though his tes-
timoney that power press work Is uni
fornlly bad and hand press work uniform
ly good, gave rise to several sharp ver-
bal clashes with Director Ralph. the tes-
timony was not shaken either by Mr..
Ralph or Senator Smoot, who Is cham
pioning the cause Of power presses.
In showing the superiority OF the hand
press over the power press, Beach de-
clared that the wiper on the power press
takes OF the plates too much ink, while
the printer using the hand wiper on the
hand press is trained TO take on Just the
right amount OF ink.
When handed pile OF revenue stamps
printed on power and hand presses and
told TO designate which stamps were
printed on the power and which on the
hand press, Beach replied: Il don't think
that Is a fair test" Though again re-
quested to distinguish between the stamps
Beach refused on the grounds that the
test was unfair"
He said he was opposed to power presses
because their product can be more easily
counterfeited than hand press products.
and also because power presses would
deprive many men Of work.
