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-
scented. 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 our 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 will 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 will
be discussed-in fact, everything that
will 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. 1t 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 will 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 rela-
ton with farming and dairying that
makes 1t 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 Amphitheater, Chicago. While
be International in character, as by
comparison alone are we able to see
what Is being accomplished the world
over. Some new AID useful classes
are being added to the classification,
which will be ready for distribution
shortly. Adv

URGE TRAINERS FOR PLAYERS
Little or No Attention Paid TO Phys

Season Is Finished.

A good many professional athletei
do things which amateurs never woule
think Of doing. This is particularly
true Of baseball players.
In order that the point may be I'm
derstood, one must appreciate the
hardships under which amateurs gel
ready for contests. They quit smok
ing and their diet is regulated with
as much science back OF 1T as a physi
clan gives to patient. The amateur

The professional baseball player
on the contrary, pays little or nj
attention to training after the prelim

baseball player, like every other hu
man being who exercises goo(

himself to over eat, says the Milwau

PREDICTION FOR THE COATS
viii Undoubtedly Be Longer and
Some Changes of Importance
Are Promised.

What will the length of the coats
be in the autumn and winter?"
The question was asked by an
American who wanted to order her
fall suit early. The reply to her was
thirty-two inches, for she is a tribe
below the average height. In tailored
suits the demand is for Jackets thirty
two or thirty-four inches long, cutaway
IN front, ending in broad curve OF
blunt point in TIE back.
Some of the coats, however, are
made very long in the back, almost
reaching to the hem of the skirt, anu
cut away sharply from the waist line
in the front: but these are too ex-
treme to become popular. and In any
case will only be worn by the excep-
tioual woman who has many suits 10
choose. from.
The most favored style is buttoned
over slightly on the left side, and mas
the Robespierre collar and revers SO
arranged that they can be opened up
when the weather permits. Some are
made with perfectly straight-cut backs
and others have a slight fullness In at
the belt and decided flare on the
side seams.
Nearly all have slightly rounded OF
.no,nted corners and all show the modi-
fed cutaway effect. The Robesplerre
collar with vest of some CONTRASTING
material, is very popular, ana tne
sleeves are mostly of the setln va
rfety, made with medium large arm
hole so they can be slipped on or on
velvetbound buttonholes and larse
ornamental buttons trim the pest
models.

PRAISE FOR BASEBALL
University of Nebraska Peda'
gogue Lauds Nationa! Game.
Professional Diamond PastIme Only
One That Appeals to Prof. George
Howard-"RootIna' Is Mental
Perversion.

Professional baseball carries of the
palm as king of sports, a chief agent
OF American democracy. and a moral
uplifter, according to the decision
stated by Prof George Elliot Howard,
the University of Nebraska authority,
In an article in the American Journal
OF Sociology, published at the Uni
versity of Chicago. The educator gives
the pastime clean bill of health
ahead of the recreations INDUCED in
by the colleges of the land.
Prof. Howard makes a vigorous at
tack upon intercollegiate athletes, de-
claring them an unmixed evil, and
recommending that they be aban-
doned. He declares that college ath-
letles spectacles lower the moral tone
OF the spectators emotions, destroy
the most important business Of the
institutions and threaten to bring on
other evils more serious.
Under existing conditions" he de-
clares, the spectator crowd at an in
tercollegiate football contest fosters
Ideals much lower than those suggest
ed by a game of professional base
ball"
In handing the glory to baseball
and criticizing other sports, Prof.
Howard writes:
"Psychologically, for instance, the
great American game OF baseball is
powerful democratic agent Vast
crowds of both sexes and of all ages,
persons of every economic. social, re-
ligious or intellectual class touch
shoulders. They shout, thrill and GEES
ture in sympathy. They are just hui
man beings, with the differentials OF
rank or vocation laid aside.
"Ihe chief menace to the general
use of recreation activities comes from
the extraordinary vogue of college ath-
letic spectators. The primary business
of the student is. or ought to be, to
study. Naturally, he is inactive dur
Ing third or mole of the day There

But the student cannot keep his bodi-
ly and mental energy up to the mark
by exercising vicariously. The vi
carious play of the team, however fas-
cinatlng, does not exercise the specta-
tors muscles.
1T Is imperative that college author
tiles recognize the function Of recre-
alton. At whatever cost for facilities,
every student should be physically as
well as mentally educated, and the
most efficient mental, even moral, edu-
cation depends on physical education.
Moreover. play for all Is the best form
of educational recreation.
