The photographers have been
making pictures of the fair grounds
and especially the race track this
week for the use of the Curtiss fly
ing machine company. This concern
will not allow any matter like Or
binary wind or so-called air holes
TO deter them and are not afraid
out what they can get above the
tree tops into the open without
amy danger of accidents. They
agree to give a thirty minute ex-
hibition in the air and sign a con-
tract which permits them to be
docked pro rata for any part OF
the thirty minutes they fail to stay
up. Their airman will be one OF
the most expert in the business and
these exhibitions will be the best
Colorado has ever seen. Manager
Maxwell is giving the people in
this one attraction more for their
money than all the other fairs OF
the valley put together. The best
Is none too good for him and he
will give the people big show.
The race track is In splendid con-
dition and the interest already be-
ing shown insures the finest racing
card ever seen in the valley. Last
year the Prowers county fair had
more starters and better horses
than any fair In the Arkansas val
ley and the largely Increased purses
this year will induce an even
greater interest among the horse
men.
The grounds are being improved
In many ways and the improvements
are OF the most permanent char
acter. The building for the ladies
department has been remodelled and
now has a porch all around IL
and screens on all the windows and
doors and many conveniences ar
ranged inside that makes 1T the
most attractive and most up-to-date
exhibition room provided anywhere
in Colorado for these departments.
New conveniences for the stock
exhibits have been. added and also
for visitors in taking care of their
ms. autos, etc.
Much interest is being evidenced
in the agricultural exhibits and
it is believed that this in connection
with the splendid crops grown this
year will insure the finest exhibits
ever put bfeore our people.
Don't forget fair week, August

weeks and whose friends had al
most given up hope of his recovery

Hasty and Shelter were called and
had to use heroic methods to re-
move the poison from his system,
but all Indications now point to
his early recovery.

Under democratic rule the state

failure and the lands of the state
are no longer being used to the
financial benefit Of school children.
There are two subjects which will
be of vital Importance to the peo-
pie of Colorado next year. They are.
first, protection to Colorado's in
dustries; second. the squandering OF
Colorado's state finances by democ
racy. The party that can adopt a
platform that will guarantee pro-
lection to Colorado's Industries and
that will guarantee to spend the
state 3 revenues on our education
al institutions instead of on dem
ocratic payrolls, will carry this
state. The present payroll is larg-
er than the entire cost of running
the administration of the state un-
der Governors Buchtel or McDon-
aid. This increased payroll has put
the finances In such shape that on
ly 35 per cent of the second class
appropriations can be paid this year
and none of the second class can
be. paid. The state institutions of
every class are in a deplorable con-
dition, while hundreds and hun
dreds of useless democratic polite
ians are drawing from ninety to two
hundred and fifty dollars a month
for doing nothing.
The organization that can take
hold of these two matters in a
way that will give the people con-
fidence will be the organization
that will win next year.

There is a wealth of meaning In

precedent to the four winds. 1t is
pure democracy triumphant.
This is great republic in every
thing that should make a nation

beyond the sea. 1t is part of the
brotherhood of nations. 1t has
mission to perform to bring about
peace and goodwill.
Until very recently a secretary
of state, no matter how democrat
ic he might be in private life or in
public life. when he entered the
sacred precincts and began to deal
with international questions and
to mix with diplomats from other
powevs, took on a certain reserve.
His words were guarded. Only at
certain times did he appear on the
rostrum
Now all that is changed. The

an aristocrat from the South
does not consider It beneath his
dignity or the dignity of mis- office
to mingle at Emporia or any other
town with vaudevillians and brass
bands.
1t was inevitable. It is the con-
comitant OF direct legislation ard
popular appeal and the "recall." "

August

The Turk at eve had trotted where
The sands of Asia shone before.
And said at length in his despair,
Tomorrow will trot some
more
His eyes we're dull for fortune fell.
His heart within his breast was
hot,
And he said. with resting him.
" IT'S we'll.
At any rate, know the trot.''
But where pursuit had Numbered
aft,
The morrow failed to bring the
foe,
At which the son of Allah laughed.
And listened for an hour or SO.
At last he heard the allied ranks
Sandbagging one another's men,
At which he duly rendered thanks
And turkey trotted back again"
August gets Its name from Aug
ustus Caesar, to whom historians
have likened Theodore Roosevelt
He was not. however, strenuous
enough to be sure that posterity
would not confuse him with julius
Caesar, SO he took the sixth month
of the Roman calendar. Sextilius.
and named 1t August. While it
is not q pleasant means of remind
ing us of him, Augustus has al
ways been considered to have been
Justified. He was competing for
fame against the greatest name in
history, and as the historian Fer
rero aptly remarks, he had to go
some.
The reign of Augustus Caesar
marked the golden age of the Ro-
man Empire. Everybody was
agreed on the tariff. the currency
question was settled, and the En-
peror was at his desk at z o'clock
every morning. Julius Caesar, who
was assassinated for being away
from Rome half the time talking at
chautauquas in Gaul and the other
provinces, was a more brilliant man
but he kept Rome in an uproar
all the time, whereas Augustus
maintained peace and quiet through
out the empire until the last few
years of his reign. He only be-
came involved abroad when the
Germans insisted upon German be-
ing taught in the Roman schools.
This problem was very much like
our own japanese problem, and 1t
is said to have almost exclusively
engaged the attention of Augustus
for twenty years 1t finally result
ed in war, and eventually caused
the fall of Rome.

Socialists, In turn, wanted to throw
the Democrats and Republicans
overheard and keep them from dis
covering where the others went.
Columbus subsequently made three
other voyages for the purpose OF
bringing the different parties over
separately. They all got here. It
is customary on August 3 to think
