FARM BOYS ENCAMPMENT
Kentucky State Fair BY Bud
ding Agricultursts.

Already throughout the entire farm
ing districts of the one hundred and
twenty counties of the state the little
Farmers" on whom the future prog
ress and prosperity of the common
wealth depend, are looking forward
with keen interest to the delegates to
be selected from each county for the
Farm Boys Encampment at the Ken
lucky State Fair, to be held in Louis.
vile next September 1920.
The boys, during their encampment
at the fair, are regarded as guests and
wards of the management, and every
thing possible is done to make their
trip in the nature of a gala event, as
we'll as one of inestimable benefit to
them from an educational standpoint.
Each day the boys are taken on tours
through the various departments of
the fair and lectures by authorities on
the various phases of agricultural and
mechanical science are given free of
charge.
Quotations from appreciative mis-
sives from the farm boys of last years
encampments state:
above everything else the Fair taught
me to regard Kentucky as one of the fore
most states of the Union
What pleased me most was the dis
covery that there is more to be studied in
agriculture than 1 had ever suspected"
Education, as embodied in the State
Fair trip, is the pathfinder to success"
AS the coming Kentucky State Fair
is destined to be the greatest in the
history of the state, the boys who sue
coed in capturing the representation of
their county will be fortunate, indeed,
and may we'll look forward with an
ticipation of pride to the wearing of
the white cap and button babe that
will mark them as one of the Farm
Boys Encampment of the eleventh an
nual Kentucky State Fair.

HER0'S REWARD STAB IN BACK
Man Stops Train to Recover Woman's
Hat and Hatpin Injuries Him
Later On.

st. Louis. Mo.-Joseph Butler,
travelling salesman, fell victim to his
own kindness on train from Chaplin,
ILL.,, to Alton, near here. Here is how
it happened:
Butler sat behind a fashionably
dressed woman. He was lost in rev.
erie Of admiration of her millinery.
Suddenly the hat was blown out OF
the window. The woman screamed
and turned to Butler with tears in her
eyes. Certainly he would stop the
train for her. Who wouldn't for the
pretty owner of such a pretty hat?
So saying, he pulled the cord and the
train came to a halt with jerk that
threw passengers from their seats.
The train crew and passengers rushed
to the scene to learn the cause of the
sudden stop. Butler explained and
the train was backed half a mile to re-
cover the hat. Butler found it and re-
stored it to the woman. She was all
smiles and gratitude. Butler was re-
paid-for the time being.
The train started again, Butler sit
ting in front of the woman. The con
ductor as a precaution against repeti-
ton of the occurrence, advised her
to pin the hat to a seat. In following
his advice she either underestimated
her own strength or overestimated
that of the plush-covered seat. The
long hatpin went through the seat
and into Buffers back an inch deep.
Butler left the train at the next stop,
in search of physicians Office. All
the women on earth and all their
smiles could not carry him into a rev.
erie over hat again

portunities as musical director of or
chestras in several leading metropol-
itan theaters, enabling him to con-
struct offerings that appeal to all
tastes in music, and he is constantly
evolving new and sensational effects.
Some of his mounted concert features

Irvine: It's Making

It may interest those, unfamiliar
with the making Of Irvine, to know
how it is made, so l will endeavor
to make a word ball, from Alpha
to Omega, with the trimmings.
Let us start in the oil-room where
the oil is prepared for the fibre.
The oil is used to tougher and bet
ter the grade of fibre and consists of
the following ingredients: Wool
grease. grease rendered from
sheep's-wool and the scrapings from
the pelts, boiled down and put in
barrels; the compound being made
mostly in. Germany, and is more ex-
pensive than the best grade of en-
CINE oil. 1t is called Degras," pro-
nounced as though it were degraw.
Crude oil comes next in line, with a
certain per cent. of water. Eighty
five per cent. of crude oil with ten
of degras and five per cent. of water
90 to make up a batch of emul-
t1on," as the mixture is called. The
whole is then placed in a large
boiler and thoroughly mixed while
being boiled, then it is ready for
the fibre, put on hot.
Now, let us GO out in the ware
house and get bale of Manila fibre
and. prepare it for machines. The
fibre bale is made, in form, good
deal like bale of hay, only instead
of being pressed in loose like hay,
| it is made up of numerous small
bundles, each tied in the manner OF
bundle of wheat, and IN preparing
the fibre each of these small bundles
must be united, Strengthened out and
cut to uniform length.
