NOMINEES WILL BE INVITED
Taft and Democratic Choice to BIO
Asked to Give Addresses at
State Fair

Madison.--The state fair board OF
agriculture will extend an invitation
to President Taft to make an address
at the state fair grounds during the
1912 exhibit. AS soon as the demo-
cratic nominee is named at Baltimore
a similar invitation will be extended
TO the representative of that party.
Bids have been opened for the. con
struction of one section of the $780,
900 grandstand, to cost $4,000, at
the Office of Mr.. Cannon In MilWau-
kee on Wednesday. The structure Is
to be built of reinforced concrete.
The board is experiencing some
difficulty in apportioning space for
exhibits of manufactures. Numerous
applications received recently have
practically exhausted all available
room for this class of exhibits. 1t
Is probable that an appropriation for
a new manufactures building may be
requested at the next session OF the
legislature and new structure be
built next year.

THE WORK THAT LASTS.

The work of the quiet, conscientious
man does not cease when death stills
his heart. He has planned too care
fully and wrought too conscientiously
for his unselfish labors to pass into
oblivion The world has need OF his
services and often benefits by them
long after his race Is run. He may
not have made much impression In his
lifetime, but for all that he Quilt to
the best of his ability and to future
generations his work is OF enduring
value. The quiet worker is never ex-
plotted by his fellow-men Indeed.
there are some persons who hold In
contempt the man who does not make
stir In the world. says the Charles
ton News and Courier. 1t is not al
ways the quality OF the work that
counts. but rather It's spectacular ef-
fects. That these effects soon wear
away and leave exposed the rough
surfaces cannot be questioned, and
then 1t Is that men turn with conf
dence to the results of the unobtru-
sive. dependable worker. who strives
with his heart, as well as with his
head. In a recent article on the sub
ject the writer says of the quiet work
or that he builds for eternity. and
that eternity alone can discover the
fine finish of his workmanship We
can take piece Of furniture and
paint on 1t as brilliant n gloss as we
wish for, but It will not be long be-
fore the cheap brilliancy furnishes and
shows in all it's ugliness the painted
wood beneath. On the other hand.
the fine finish which the master work
man gives to the article he Is re-
storing is attained only after the most
honest and painstaking efforts. which
he directs not to the attainment OF
Immediate final results, but to results
which lead gradually to the beautiful
finish which crowns his work.
