THE PARKER SHOWS
Will Present Several Headline Attrac-
tions at Blue Grass Fair.

1t is always customary for the larger
ture attraction, sparing neither time
or expense to make it the Growing fea-
ture Of the mighty Drag" Mr. G. w.
Parker, founder and owner of the Par
ker Amusement Company, who re-
mains at his big factories at Leaven-
worth, Kan, and directs his various
companies from the home Office, con-
ceived the idea that a big European
novelty would be the proper attrac-
ton for his largest company, The
Greater Parker Shows. With this idea
in view Miss Essie Fay and her beau
tiful full bloOded Arabian were book
ed for this seasons tour of America.
Miss Fay, who was an English wom-
an by birth, was touring Arabia with
her father, who at that time was a
member Of the English Parliament.
When a guest of the Prince of Nor
rocco at his palace in Tripoli, the
Prince was pleased with Miss Fay and
presented her with an Arabian year
ling. The young lady shipped the
horse to her fathers stable. While
rowing the green with her new pet,
she formed an attachment to the colt,
and he the same to her, and in his
grace and beauty, she thought she saw
something promising. With his in
creasing brains and grace, and the
careful training of its mistress, Ara
bia' was quick to win acclaims of roy
atty and nobility in the greatest coli
seums of Europe.

WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT.

The Woman's Department of the
Blue Grass Fair, to be held at LeXing-
ton, August II to 18th, will be more
important and extensive this year than
ever before. The premium list has
been revised, and classes offered COW
er almost every kind of woman's work
and table luXuries. The third floor of
the Art Hall is given entirely to this
department, and is usually one of the
most attractive exhibits of the Big
Fair.
This year the second floor will be
utilized by the Made in Lexington
Club" and it is needless to say will
be made as attractive as possible, and
will be an exposition of wares manu-
factured in Lexington.
On the lower floor the management
has arranged with the Canadian Gov
ernment Exhibit to bring their display
Of wheat, grain and other agricultural
products. This should attract the at
tention of every farmer in the state,
as it is the same display made at big
state fairs and expositions.

GIRLS TO WEAR BLOOMERS
Playground Instructor Buys 1900
Yards of GIngham for Pu-
pills to Make Up.

Cleveland.-Miss Marguerite Kelly,
supervisor of Fairgrounds, and Miss
Mary Penn, sewing instructor, went
on a shopping expedition and bought
1900 yards of goods.
Fine trousseau," observed a man,
who wandered into a room in the City
hall, where Miss Kelly and Miss Penn
were busy with scissors, cutting and
hacking at great bolts of checkered
goods.
"Trousseau nothing" scornfully an
swered Miss Kelly. "This is gingham; /;
and it's to be made up into bloomers
for girls at the Fairgrounds. There
are between 500 and 1000 girls to be
supplied. We decided to have them
make bloomers instead of weaving
mats and baskets. They can't wear
baskets and mats"
"But why the boomers p"

won't wear certain articles Of lingerie

FIND THHEE-ToED HORSE
Scientists Seeking Relics in Nevada
Also Uncover Remains of Prehis-
toric Camel and Dog.

Reno, Nev.-Marvelous discoveries
of prehistoric mammals in the shale
fields on the desert % miles east Of
Nina, New, are announced as the re-
suit of the explorations of Prof. Law
renee Baker of the department of geo.
logical research of the University Of
California. Professor Baker is assist
ed in his researches by Prof. Buwaldo,
also of the university faculty.
The Investigations disclose the fact
that the region about Nina was once
an immense body of tropical water.
The bones of three-toed horse, about
the size Of lamb, have been unearth-
ed. The teeth, well preserved, and the
entire remains of a prehistoric dog
have been brought to light. 1t is be-
lieved that this animal lived at least
five million or six million years ago.
The scientists say that the fields about
Nina are the most marvellous in the
world.
Fossils eighteen feet high are to be
seen cropping out in the heart Of the
desert miles away from any human
life. In the vicinity is a bed Of pure
carbonate of magnesia, which assays
show runs 81 per cent.
The remains Of fish are to be seen
sticking out Of the banks. The pro-
fessors are bending their efforts to
obtain specimens of mammals. The
remains of an extinct camel, dating
from the miocene period, have been
obtained.
Effort is being made to obtain speci-
mems of the water lizard, believed 20
be the oldest known form of animal
life. Fish many feet in length are
to be seen and every indication points
to the fact that the remains, so per-
fectly preserved, belong to period at
least five million years ago. Along
the southern edge of the desert, which
is believed to have been lake at one
time, there has been discovered coal
Of a high quality.
An eastern syndicate owns the prop
erty upon which the discoveries have
been made. They acquired the land
to work the magnesia deposits and
also to prospect for gold, which is
found in nearby sections. Permission
was granted the scientists by the 10
cal manager to study and take speci-
mems Of the relics.
An effort will be made to have the
Smithsonian Institution send an eX-
pedition to make thorough study, as
it did OF the mammoth tracks discOv-
tiary.

Woodrow Wilson For Buttermilk

The following special appeared
in last Sundays daily papers:
New York, August 3.-Gov.
ernor Woodrow Wilson came TO
New York for the first time
since he became the presidential
nominee on the Democratic tick
ct today, but scarcely a half doz-
en- persons saw him.
After a busy day at the sum
mer capital, Seagirt, n. j., the
Governor slipped away TO New
York, followed by newspaper
correspondents. Few recog-
nized on the way, and when he
reached the Pennsylvania sta
ton he walked inconspicously
into the lunch room, where he
perched on high stool and OBJ
tanned a sandwich and a glass of
buttermilk. He hurried away
within a few minutes in taxi
cab to a local hotel where he
met William McCombs chairman
of the National Democratic Com
mite, and conferred with him
for several hours"
Here, friends, is the most inn
portant political item of the year.
Woodrow Wilson has been ex
toled as one of the country's
really great and truly good men.
We have been assured that what
he doesn't know about the sci
ence of government has not been
printed, and that he is as free
from guile as Mexican terrier
is of hair. We believe practical
ly all these things, because Wood
row is the Democratic nominee
and a Democrat cannot afford not
to believe everything good that
is said Of his party's nominee.
But now we have greater rea-
son for our faith in Democracy's
standard bearer. He drinks
buttermilk-drinks it at home
and abroad. Others may go to
the great city of New York may
slip in at side door and quaff a
cocktail, others may call for the
brew THAT made Gambrnus ia
nous, but Woodrow Wilson
straddles high stool, hangs his
breast over the counter and calls
for a goblet of buttermilk. 1t is
impossible to beat such man at
the polls. And when he takes
charge Of the reins of govern
ment, and buttermilk is made
the official drink in the white
house, trusts may pack their
trunks and all corruptionists
seek tall timber. The churn
dasher is the hope of the nation.

New Science in Old Kitchen.

When a special building was
erected on the University of
Texas campus at Austin for the
teaching of domestic science.
every class room was at once
filed TO overlooking with eager
students. During the past sum
mer the building has been en-
larged and two additional teach
ers have been employed. Next
year three instructors Will de-
vote their entire time TO teach
ing Texas girls the best methods
of home sanitation and home de
coration, as well as the best
methods of preparing and serv-
ing foods.
Much of the work will be es-
pecially adapted to persons who
wish TO teach home economics.
The department realizes that the
girl who goes into the country
to teach usually will not find gas
ranges and running water and
porcelain sinks.
A country kitchen therefore
has been provided, furnished
with a wood stove and water
bucket from which water may
be lifted in a dipper Such
teachers are preparing to sup
ply rural schools will be required
to use this country kitchen in
their work, 50 that when they
come in actual contact with such
they will be equipped
to meet them. More and more
college people are coming to
recognize that whatever relates
to the comfort and happiness Of
the majority of people should be
taught and learned in the Uni
versity. Surely the question Of
proper housekeeping deserves
the attention il is receiving.
