At the present time the National Guard

In anticipation of further trouble in
Venezuela, the administration has ordered
the gunboat Des Moines to proceed at
once to Venezuela for the protection Of
the interests of the United States. That
vessel is at Brunswick, Ga, on a routine
cruise to West Indian waters. Her new
orders direct that she proceed at once

Hudson River Shad.

You may have noticed that your
shad this year was wilted and taste
less and far from the fish upon which
you dotted In your childhood. For
once you are right. 1t is not that you
are growing old, but that the best
shad in the business, those from our
own Hudson river, have passed out.
Last winter the shad fishermen put
out their nets as usual. But nothing
happened. The shad is a tempera.
mental beast, and it was thought at
first that change In weather would
bring him around. But wintry spring
came and went without results, And
now the oldest fishermen are selling
out and moving to other waters. IS
Just why the thistle of the fish fam
lily has. taken. sudden dislike to his
old aaunts every one is at liberty to
guess. Probably the fact that each
year the Hudson is becoming more
like sewer and less like a river has
something to do with the case.

our heads before the younger genera

Night Fair Rate Cut to % Cents,
The 1913 state fair will be open es-
nings.
Not only this. but for the evening
the admission will be reduced to 20
cents.
This is the decision reached by the
state board of agriculture and an
nounced on Tuesday.
In past years the regular admission
price of so cents has maintained, Jay
and night The board, however. has
come to recognize that there are thou
sands of people who are unable to at
tend during the day and that it is i'm
practical to ask those people to pay
80 cents for the privilege of three or
four hours at, the exposition, while
those able to attend during the day
may remain on the grounds for 10
hours at the same price.
This action particularly favors the
laboring man and his family, for al
though practically all shops in the city
will close for at least half a day to
give employees an opportunity to attend
the fair, there are many mechanics,
clerks and laborers who will gladly
spend one or two evenings on the
grounds if they are able to do SO with
any degree of economy, as is now pos
sible.
Every department will be open eve.
nings until 10 o'clock with all clerks
and demonstrators in attendance the
same as during the day. The grounds
will be well lighted and pollced, so that
the same advantage will obtain at
night as during the day
There will be even more special at
fractions at night The big Cheyenne
wild west show, with all its cowboys,
cowgirls, Indians, outlaw broncfos,
steers and buffaloes, will offer as large
and varied program at night as dur

some of the automobile builders say
jestingly. But in the jest there is food

In connection with the upholster-

which eventually may become serious
that of supplying the hair for stuffing

mand is, the requirements OF the Ford
company will again furnish a good
