FAIR BOOSTS NEWSPAPERS.
Value as Advertising Mediums Rated
Far Above Bill Board Display.

Managers Of the Interstate Fair at
Sioux City have decided to use only
the newspapers to advertise their
show, which will be held September
Is to September 10, inclusive.
Joe Morton, secretary of the asso-
citation, has announced that no bill
boards will be used in boosting fair
attendance this year and hat all pub
licity efforts will be directed through
the newspaper medium.
I'VE have found, said Mr.. Morton,
that the newspaper, especially the
home newspaper, gets closer to the
people and that more attention is paid
to any publicity received through such
a source, hence the bill board con-
tracts have been dropped and the fair
will make an effort to pass the
money around for advertising In the
city and country papers.
People may think that because no
glaring posters appear the fair has
been abandoned, but the greater num-
Der will see advertisements in the pa
pers and will come to the show. A fair
is instituted for the betterment of the
entire territory it draws from, 1t is
educational and thus must seek for
support from the papers. 1t is for this
reason that it was decided to spend
the advertising appropriation with
these vigilant boosters of u Sioux

tie and horse entries listed for this
years show. Cattle raisers and
horsemen from Iowa, Nebraska and
South Dakota are manifesting such
unusual interest in this years show
that Mr.. Morton stated he felt free
in predicting that all former records
for numbers of exhibits would be
shattered and that the great barns
would be taxed to capacity to hold the
blue-bloods of the equine and bovine
world.
Interest manifested in the fair by
the Sioux City Stock Yards company
is keen. The Fair has also arranged
premiums for carload lots of fat cat
tie, that will attract to the Sioux City
show hundreds of head of cattle. The
feeder display also will be a notable
one.
After the Interstate Fair of last
year the fat cattle were disposed Of
by auction, wonderful profits being
realized by owners of prize bee7es.

PRIZES FOR BABIES
interstate Fair Starts Campaign for
Better Children In Territory,

W.
Club women of Sioux City having
taken the initiative the Interstate
Live Stock Fair management at Sioux
City has decided to back a baby show
and $3.50 in prizes will be distributed
among the infants brought to the
show.
Funds have been created by the
women that will assure the imme-
date erection of a Better Babies"
building, in which at least $50 little
tots can be accommodated. The bet
ter Babies" contest will not be car
ried on along fad lines. 1t has been
pointed out by club women that fairs
have long pushed the cause of better
cattle, but have done nothing to i'm
prove the standard of human beings
directly. These women have further
asserted hat if as much care was TAX,
en- in baby production as is manifest
in the horse and cattle line the
standard of citizenship gradually
would be improved.
Babies are to be judged not for per-
sonal beauty, but for development of
muscles and powers of observation.
Doctors have been retained by the
women to pass on all babies entered.
The scales and tape measure will be
used by experts and set cards will be
filled out in regard to each ~entrant.
Besides the money prizes other
awards will be provided for.
Babies will be examined from day
to day, beginning with September Is,
when the show will open. Success
of the show already Is assured, and
in succeeding years the better babies
building will be enlarged. A lecture
series by experts will mark the
course of this years show.

COLLEGE MEN TO JUDGE.
Ames to, Send Big Delegation Of Sem
Tors TO Sioux City Fair.

senior class to the Interstate Live
Stock Fair at Sioux City, September
Is to 10, to Judge the cattle display.
The students will be given this test in
preparation for the American Royal,

Expense of the visit Of the collegians
is met by the state school and is a
striking tribute to the character Of
the cattle show worked up by the
Sioux City fair management. Boys
o. the class will pass on dairy cattle,
sheep and bacon hogs, and also will
work in the great horse barns, scor-
ing the blooded animals gathered
there.
The Iowa State Agricultural college
has long indicated its faith in the

dents to the fair for practical field
work. This year the experience gain
ed at the Interstate cattle exposition
will be the most practical preparation
the young men will have for the ma
tonal judging contests, School will
open too late for practice at the Iowa

CONSTITUTES PENSION ACT

That the Mothers Pension act pro-
vides for payments regardless of the
failure of the county authorities to
make the one-tenth mill levy provided
in the act is the decision of Attorney
General Johnson on inquiry from
Union county, says a Pierre dispatch.
This is an entirely different construc-
ton than that which has been placed
upon the act by many county officials.
finds that there is a case where the
blaw applies it is made the duty of the
county commissioners to provide the
funds for payment out of the special
levy for such purpose, if such levy
has been made, and out of the general
fund If no levy has been provided. The
levy provision of the act is held to be
an optional one, but the payment of
claims due under the act are held to
be mandatory, and if the levy is not
made the money must come from the
general fund of the county.
He also holds, on an inquiry in re-
gard to providing expenses for enroll
ment under the Richards primary
act" that there is no way to provide
the money for the purpose. The law
requires the counties to supply the
necessary books and blanks, and this
expense must be met by the county.
But for the work of enrolment there
is no provision for payment 70 the
township clerks. The law il plain
that additional duties may be required
of any official, but that does not mean
additional compensation. The conten-
ton that the expense al be met under
the provisions of chapter $50, laws Of
1907, is held not to be good, as that act
provides for special compensation to
township clerks for additional duties
performed for the township, and the
duty of registration is for the county
and not for the township.
He also holds that the wording of
chapter 226, laws of 1913, Is sufficient
to appropriate the surplus game fund
in the state treasury to the uses Of the
state game commission. That there is
no provision stating specifically what
the language OF an act must be to APP
propriate money and that the language
used in chapter 226 is sufficient to
show ar appropriation. There is prac:
tically $4,000 in this fund at the pres
ent, of which about $4,000 was u +
plus under the old law, which failed
to make an appropriation.
