canvas from farm to farm, grange TO

bring to the farmer in his own
home the facts and figures which have
been stored up in the pamphlets and
archives of the agricultural schools
and colleges.
Taking part in the campaign, either
IN an advisory capacity or as speak

of Cook County, Illinois; the Hon. G.

q retired banker of Ohio.
That the farmers were ready for
the blessings which alfalfa strews
over a neighborhood which gives it
neighborly welcome, was evidenced
everywhere by the crowds that
greeted the campaigners at every
stop. At no time were any of the
speakers without an encouraging au-
dience, and on some occasions the
party was obliged to divide, part adj
dressing the school children while
others spoke to the farmers. The ad-

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
THE SILVER eRAYs.
BY a. w. MACY,

2{ ~ W. tHFT&Be
Willard Fillmore was not a
very popular president. He had
many admirers, but they were
not sufficiently numerous to pro-
cure for him the nomination for
a second term. His supporters
thought the slavery question was
settled by the compromise Of
1850, a view which q very large
number Of people did not share.
A convention Of the presidents
admirers was called to meet at
Syracuse, NJ. ", for the purpose
Of indicating him and indorsIng
his policy. Evidently, however,
the enemies Of the admin
IstrstIon had packed the con-
vention; for when = vote was
taken on test question il was
found they W re greatly IN the
majority rhereupon the presi-
dents supporters, led by the
chairman, left the convention.
As most Of them were elderly,
Sray-haired men, they were cali
ed "Ths oliver Grsys."

Country's Most Daring Speed
Kings Will Be Seen In Sc
rieS Of Events Under the
Direction Of A. A. A.

Speed kings of automobile racing
will meet in a series of contests at the
1913 Trenton Fair that should be as
pregnant with excitement as any auto
races that have ever been seen in the
east The management has arranged
a big afternoon OF this thrilling sport
under the supervision Of the Automo-
bile Association @: America. and the
track will be especially prepared for
the cars.
The entry list indicates that Trenton
Fair patrons will see the most famous
of all of the daring drivers at the
wheels of cars that have been made
famous all over the world. There will
be both long and short distance events.
with liberal entries in every class

Higher Standard Has Been Reached In All Of the Instructive

Provide the Sensational Acts For the Open Air Vaudeville
Show Offered Every Afternoon Last Days of Pompe'
For Evening Entertainment.

Trenton. y. j.. Sept. 17.-An army of
workmen, including painters, carpen-
tiers. masons. landscape gardeners and
laborers of all classes, has about com
pleted the carrying out of all the plans
for the 1913 Trenton Interstate Fair,
and when the gates are thrown open
Monday morning. Sept %, the public
will find disclosed the greatest eXposi
ton ever prepared by the association.
A yea. of hard work will eliminate in
the Fair opening. and the results that
have been in this year of brain and
Drawn effort Will do more to increase
the fame and glory of the Trenton Fair
than all OF the years that have march
ed before in one long line of brilliant
successes.
The buildings and the grounds have
never presented such an attractive APP
pearance. Considerable money has
been expended in improving and beau
tifying the plant and in carrying out
plans for the greater comfort and con-
venience of the guests.
So far as can be learned the entry
lists of every department show more
numerous and higher class entries than
in any of the former years. This
promises fair that will easily rival
a national exposition. for the Trenton
Fair in the past has never lacked in
class or in volume of entries.
Unusual effort has been made to de-
velop the educational standard of the
Fair in agriculture. horticulture, hori-
culture. farm and dairy products
breeding and raising of horses, cattle.
sheep. swine. poultry and pet stock
women's art and fancy work. school
exhibits. machinery for farm use and
other departments of general interest
In this branch of the Fair all records
will be broken to such an extent that
visit to the exposition will be moth
ing less than an education along the
lines mentioned above.
For instance in the agricultural de-
partment there will be cOmprehen-
sive exhibition by the New Jersey EX-
pertinent Station, which is located at
New Brunswick This will include
charts and exhibits pertaining to ev-
cry branch of farming and will UNI
doubtedly be one of the most interest
ing and instructive features of the
Fair.
Many acres of land will be occupied
by the city of machinery, in which Will
be housed all that is new and up to
date in machinery and mechanical APP
pliances necessary to the most protlt-
able farming.
Two automobile shows, one display
ing commercial vehicles and the other
pleasure cars, will have prominent
places in the grounds. The horse show
will practically be divided into two
parts-one for Clydesdales. Belglans
and PercheronS and the other for style
and show horses. together with horses
for general use. There will be three
day dog show, in which have been en-
tered the best dogs of this part or the

The Midway will be made up Of
different class of shows from those
-enerally found at the big fairs
There will be no dancing girls. but in
the place of these exhibitions that have
been so Objectionable in the past Sec
Rotary Margerum has secured some of
the best shows in the country-shows
that will not lack comedy nor excite
ment, but in which can be found moth
ing that will offend in the slightest
particular One of the finest and most
remarkable animal shows in the world
will be a leading feature Of the Mid
way. This show will compare favor,
ably with the geological gardens or the
view of the fact that the Fair manage
ment has decided to present THE Last
Days of Pompeii'' for evening enter
tainment this year. all of the Midway
shows will be kept open at night.
Music will be made a far more i'm
portant part of the Fair than in any of
the former years. Winkler's Second
Regiment Band, that has always prov
ed so popular. will be back, playing
delightful concerts every day, in which
will be offered all of the latest as we'll
as many of the old standard selections
Added to this. however. will be Nine
WhiIemina Wright Calvert, the ia
NOUS Boston soprano soloist, who will
sing some of this summers most popu-
lar songs, and Harry Miller, with his
producers.
The open air sensations will. as
usual. combine the cream of two con-
tinents 1t is safe assertion to make
that the Trenton Fair has never been
nble to announce such startling list
of attractions in its entire history.
Among the acts will be:
Daredevil Schreyer in his plunge
Of 120 feet from a bicycle across the
race track.
Edward T. Hutchinson, offering the
worlds most thrilling balloon act, IN
which two men will make twenty par
achute drops from one balloon.
The bursting, burning balloon is also
one of Hutchinson's acts. The balloon
ascends to great height when it is
shot to pieces with dynamite. after
which the parachute jumper cuts
loose.
The Death Swing. in which woman
performs the most daring of all auto
mobile acts
Auto polo between teams represent
ing France and America. King and
Ferriter will be the French drivers
and Sterling and Bud Jackson the
Americans Two matches each after
noon.

Alber's polar bears. These bears con
clude their act With chute trick that
