EXHIBIT STATE FARM
PRODUCTS AT FAIR

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 4.-Before ad-
journing late yesterday afternoon
members Of the board of trustees Of
the state penitentiary passed an order
instructing the farm superintendent
to have prepared an extensive exhibit
of convict farms products for the Mis-
sissippi state fair this year.
The penitentiary department had an
exhibit two years ago, but for some
reason it was missed in 1912. Chairman
Thames, OF the prison board, is enthusi-
astic over the matter and believes the
people of the state will want to see
samples of the farm products, and get
better idea of what is being done by
the convicts.
Superintendent Gathings probably
will appoint some one Of the we'll In
formed sergeants to begin work on
preparing the exhibit. 1t will be an
exhaustive one, and no pains will be
spared to make it complete in every de
tail.

There is a saying that rapid

have formed the habit of eating
too rapidly you are most likely
suffering from indigestion or
constipation, which will
result eventually in serious
illness unless corrected. Diges-
ton begins in the mouth. Food
should be thoroughly masticated
and insalivated. Then when you
have a fullness of the stomach or
feel dull or stupid after eating.

that in order to make the enor-

Miss Logan a Heroine

Miss Gertrude Logan, a young
woman from Phoenix, Arizona,
stopped a runaway horse in Pas
adena CAL. last Friday after
noon with the skill and courage
of crossing officer, and then
tainted away. Just as she had
the horse controlled she saw that
the occupant of the rig was a
Pasadenan named Henry Badger
whose legs are partially paral-
lied, and that a Santa Fe train
crossed the street at that NOM
ent. If the horse had not been
stopped he must have collided
with the train.
Miss Logan was strolling along
California avenue near Colorado
street when the horse took fright
at a motorcycle and started on
his dash up the street. Miss Lo-
gan was reared on her fathers
ranch in Arizona and is both ath-
letic and not afraid of horses.
She ran, jumped and caught the
horses bride. Badger was help
less.
After being dragged about ff-
ty feet the young woman got a
nose hold on the horse and
brought him to a stand still. Just
then a Santa Fe train crossed a
few feet in front of the horse.
That was the moment when Miss
Logan perceived what might
have been and tainted. She was
taken to the Maryland hotel and
soon revived. Examiner.
