; BALD-HEAD BANQUET
Uniqus Function Suggested tor Gentle l. men With No Hair.

Unique Function Suggested tor Gentle & men With No Hair. ta Falls Village has become noted as the home of tho first Bald Head Club of America This h no small fame. and .tha organization can easily spresd over the whole country, for the principles for which the club stands will appeal te g host of long suffering bald mortals who have hitherto been obliged to endure the ridicule of those having hair anyway, whether they needed it or not.
 Fraternal feeling will be engendered by holding state meetings and conYeu. tions. when the many things to be said in favor of being bald-as 8 mark of dis. tinction, a matter of convenience, sign of early piety, etc., will be fully dis cussed and promulgated, photos being made of the different groups as they organize, and prixes awarded for the best looking heads of badness. AS soon as the organization is large enough to warrant the outlay. club pin. approp- riately engraved, will be made for the members to wear and any who care to, are now invited to make suitable de sign and submit It to the Secretary, for approval by the official board of officers, the design accepted being the only one paid for.
 The original or charter members of this club are Dwight E. Moore, Fred E. Egleston. Rufus H. Whltford, Wm. H. Hart, A. Pope Chapman and John H. Belden. who organized at the Olin build, ing. Falls Village, June Is, 1900. Since that time the following members have been admitted F. M. Olin, H. B. Chown, D. Chertock. c. Shultis. W. I. Kellogg. W. W. Norton, A. A. Roth. T. F. Watson, H. Wickwire, R. J. Orr, G. W. Capron, Jas. R. Harrison and Fred Collin
 There was picture taken of the charter members in 1900 by Paul E. Mead of New York, and post cards sold as an accurate likeness of the Original Sutherland Brothers. Again. in 1909, 10 of the present membership were photographed as they sat on the church steps listening to a hair-ralsing story, Mrs. Frances O. Belden, of Hartford, be- ing the official photographer.
 Anyone with good looking bald head can join the club at any time, and when ten or more from any one locality have become members they can receive a charter from the parent society and organize branch club.
 The present officers are R. J. Orr, president, Pittsheld; A. P. Chapman, secretary, Falls Village J. H. Belden. State House, Hartford, Conn.
 While it's members may have more or less regard for the hair encountered people outside the organization, especially the ladies, the club as a whole cannot help being exclusive. therefore only bald headed females will be admitted as on application to the secretary in writing.
 Bald men or women who wear wigs will be admitted as Associate Members

STATE FAIR IS EDUCATIONAL

The South Dakota State Fair bears
al important relation to the better
farming movement of the state.
Here will be exhibited the best of
everything in live stock, a%gricultur-
al products. dairy and poultry pro-
ducts and farm machinery. Prog
ress in education and all forms OF
life comes by intelligent comparisons.
The State Fair il the proper place
for the modern agriculturalist to
make these comparisons. Experts
from the State College Of Agriculture
will be on hand to give special dem
O~nstratlOns along the line OF soil
fertility and improvement, the prob
lem of rainfall, crop rotation and
other specific features connected with
good farming.
There 10 much to be learned from
the educational exhibits, from the
displays in the women's building.
the school Of mines, the county exhi-
bits. and all other features, including
the great aviation meet. The lead
ing stock breeders, the most success
ful farmers, the best dairymen, and
the foremost men OF all lines OF work
Will be at the Fair. No scientific
farmer. nor his wife and family, can
AFFORD to miss this chance Of getting
pointers for improving his business.
In order that the educational
phase Of the Fair may receive the
proper attention, all special attrac-
tons, including races and other
forms of entertainment will be held
each afternoon. The forenoon of
each day will be devoted to educa-
tional matters, including stock judg-
ing. machinery demonstrations. and
Judging in the other departments Of
the Fair. Do not try to do the
Fair" in one day. Stay over; take
your time; and squeeze out OF this
exposition all there is to learn. It
will pay you as a strictly business
proposition.

NEED FOR THE MAN
WHO WANTS TO WIN

Extracts from article by J. A. Hol-
loman of Jacksonville. Florida, while
visiting Saskatchewan. Canada:
Mr.. Holloman was asked about the
great rush Of homeseekers into Flor
! ida from all over the country.
I'VE people who live in Florida
have our investments there and are
interested most in the substantial
and unerring development of the
State, regard this great movement
either with keen pleasure or sincere
regret. dependent entirely upon the
actual influence behind the individ-
ual homeseeker when he arrives. and
his ability financially and physically
and even mentally to succeed. To be
explicit, Florida wants the man who
wants to whit does not want the
improvident, irresponsible fellow who
believes he can 60 there and live
without work, or who has been mis-
guided by sensational, overdrawn lit
elature and promoters that he can
subsist without dollar in capital
except the small option money with
which he contracted for five or ten
acres of land.
THE Florida land boom has
brought a great number of land
sharks into the business. These
schemers have optioned large areas
of interior lands, remote from rail-
reads, trading centers, schools.
churches, etc., and not infrequently
in the swamp sections, and have
plated them on paper and taken adj
vantage Of Fl0rida's unquesti0ned op-
p0rtunities to sell these worthless
holdings in small tracts at prices
equal to the best to people through
cut the world who have been anxious
to move to that State. They have
promised everything. They have ex-
asgerated conditions. They have
told their victims that they could
ray down $40, move upon the ten
acres thus 0ptioned, and that with
out toll they could take enough prof
its of the land to finish paying for
the land, build their homes and their
barns and put good sum in the
banks, and this all within an incred-
IDLY short time. What is the result
Hundreds of worthless fellows have
raised the ten and just enough ad-
ditional to get themselves and their
families into Florida, have flocked
down there to find themselves broke
at the outset, and have squatted on
little piece of land that they could
not even get title to IL paid for. It's
a crying shame that such things
should occur, but thanks to the vigil
lance of the government these sharks
are breaking into the penitentiary
about as fast as they can and the
Florida land situation is taking the
high place that it deserves.
Nov let me emphasize this
there is no section of the world to-
day that offers more opportunities
for the farmer and the investor than
does Florida. There is no State
where one can be happier, with ev.
cry social and educational and re-
ligious environment that is pleasing:
there is no State that is growing
more rapidly, and with any create.
future prospects. But in Florida
there is good land and poor land and
the wise investor will deal with
company or individual that he knows
reliable, and buy in a section that
can demonstrate its worth or SUPER
lority. and when this is done the
move always means success and pros
perity"
