LOCAL OPTION GAMBLING

In justice to the communities
that would rather pay for costly
murder trials and 2ivecounty sup
port of the widows and orphans of
suicides. than to contribute by fair
taxation to the legitimate expenses
of government, the local option
gambling bill should pass.
In justice to business men in
sporty counties. who would rather
carry store accounts indefinitely,
in order that laboring men, clerks,
and patrons in general may have
an opportunity of tossing their
monthly pay in to the LAP Of Dame
Chance the local option gambling
bill should pass.
Out of respect to those noble
citizens who would like to see all
new co mtrs, tenderfeet and green
horns, strIl ped of their last cent,
that the county treasury may have
a pitiful percentage of the haul,
a local option gambling law in
Nevada should be enacted in fan
ing words of the Holy Writ.
In behalf of those counties that
desire a class of parasites to prey
upon the people until stolen for
tunes have been accumulated for
investment outside of Nevada,
some relief is due from the legisla-
ture and the local option gambling
law may be just The sweet smelling
ointm mt that will properly salve
their ulcerous sores.
1t is up to the men at Cars n

ling at Golfeld, or Tonopah. OF

MUCH INTEREST IN
BOYS ENCAMPMENT
Free Trip to state Fair for One Boy from
Each County

Last year the management of the Ten
nessee State Fair for the first time ar.
ranged for an enampment for represen-
tative farm boys from each county on
the State Fair grounds during the entire
week Of the fair, and no one feature Of
the fair resulted In more educational
value to the farm boys over the State.
Profiting by the experience of last yeas,
the management is planning for the en-
campment this year on broader and bet
ter lines The boys who are fortunate
in being selected will have one solid
week Of recreation, fun and instruction.
They viii have an opportunity to form
a statewide acquaintance with boys who
are going to be leaders in the develop
ment OF the State They win have an
opportunity to see and learn about the
best crops that are grown, the best live
stock, horses, hogs, sheep, cattle and
poultry. They viii witness live stock
judging, demonstrations in seed testing,
will see the best in agricultural nipple
ments and machinery in operation. They
will get practical suggestions for max.
ing home life on the farm attractive; in
short, they have an opportunity to see
the attractive side of farming, the pos
sibilities of agriculture when we make
of it what we can. There will be lee
lures on every phase of farm life for
their benefit.
Nothing will be neglected that can
be done to make the Farm Boys En-
campment at the Tennessee State Fair,
September 30 to October 4, the great
success it should be, and the trip is an
attractive one, since the State Fair pays
the transportation and furnishes lodging
and meals to one boy in every county.

TRAINED ANIMALS AT FAIR.

Erained animal exhibitions have fas-
cinating hold upon the affections OF the
amusement-loving public.
Appreciating this fact and having had
many years of practical experience in
catering to the show going people Of
America, Con I. Kennedy, generally rec
ognized in this country as the premier
purveyor of carnival entertainment, has
assembled for the edification OF the
thousands who will attend the Tennes-
see State Fair at Nashville, September
30, to October 4, the most remarkable
wild beast entertainment ever offered.
1t is well known fact that the BEN
gal tiger is the most difficult animal to
train, but Rajah, with the Kennedy
Shows, the only performing tiger in the
world, goes through evolutions in the
steel barred arena which are simply
marvellous, finishing his performance
with race in competition with leop-
ard on horseback.
The Con T. Kennedy Shows carry the
largest number Of African lions ever pre-
scented In q single act under any canvas
In this country. "The Gathering Of the
GalIants," presenting . mixed group,
includes "A lions, pumas, tigers, leopards,
bears, boar hounds and giant mastiffs,
and is without doubt one OF the most
remarkable features ever assembled.
Colonel John 7. Bachman, who has per
sonaI charge Of this geological exhibition,
has spent many years In evolving It's
usual features and he enjoys world
wide reputation as a fearless trainer.
Preliminary to the performance prop
er an opportunity win be afforded yis-
itors to study one Of the greatest col
lections Of animals ever brought TO-
gether
To transport the big Kennedy wild
animals show It requires e0-foot cars
and 20 dens and cages, making II un-
doubtsaly the greatest trained Wild ami.

HOLD MIRROR UP TO NATURE
State Fair at Nashville Reflects cOndi-
tions in Each of the Counties.

The people of Tennessee are begin
ming to appreciate the greatness and
magnitude of the Tennessee State Fair
at Nashville. Here within few years
has been built one of the strongest, most
permanent and best equipped State fairs
in the entire South. The State Fair
at Nashville is in class with the fairs
of surrounding states, that have been
financed by hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars Of states money. This great re-
Hector Of Tennessee progress and adj
vancement--this show window of the
state of Tennessee-this great educator
in the industrial affairs OF Tennessee
people-has, in a few years, taken fore
most place among the great fairs Of the
nation. This is due to several infln-
ences. First, Nashville is the natural
location for great institution like the
State Fair. The capital city of the state
to which its people delight to make an
annual pilgrimage each autumn, is, in
countless ways, attractive to visitors.
When the people come to the State Fair
to exhibit their products and rejoice over
the prosperity that has blessed them
from year to year. they find the best
appointed fair grounds in all the South,
and within but short distance from the
heart of the city There the visitors
may review the work Of a progressive
State Fair management. The Tonnes
see State Fair has come to be in reality
the reflection of the physical and finan-
cial condition of our state. The coming
great exposition to be held September
20 to October will eclipse in every
way the fine record of the years past
Every department of the great fair to
be held this fall will be filled to over
flowing. The management is delighted
with the advance entries and all indi-
cations point to the most successful ex-
hibtion ever held in the history of the
Tennessee State Fair.

CABARET SHOWS AT THE FAIR

The announcement that the trustees
of the Tennessee State Fair have con
csnded negotiations with the Con T. Ken
nedy Shows to provide all Of the amuse
ment features this year, comes will
more than an ordinary degree of inter
est and insures the patrons Of an en-
tertainment diversified and high-class.
Among the twenty-five shows which
Manager Con T. Kennedy is to bring us
one feature which should appeal most
strongly to our people is the Cabaret
Show. Having spert months in Chicago
New York and the capitals of Europe
Ss;ring the past winter, Manager Ken,
nedy evolved the idea Of presenting to
his carnival patrons form Of variety
entertainment such as has not heretofore
been in evidence with this class of an
amusement enterprise. From advance re.
ports il would appear that the Cabaret
show is Of exceptional magnitude md
merit.
While the management has exercised
great care in the selection Of talent and
Ia the form of entertainment, we are
led to believe That although the objec-
tionable features of the European cab.
nret have been eliminated the corps of
Kennedy entertainers present program
Of unusual interest. Vaudeville plays an
important part in the amusement Of the
masses al over the world, and it is fair
to presume that the entertainment to
be accorded the patrons of the Cabaret
Show, . leading feature of the Con +.
Kennedy aggregation, will be entertained
In an exceptional manner. There will
be ten high-class vaudeville acts, to say
nothing of the opponents Of modern
dancing,

AzTECS AT TENNESSEE FAIR

It is far cry from the days Of Mon.
teEuma, but the Con r. Kennedy Shows
will bring the Tennessee State Fam
what many believe to be the only sur
viving members Of the Aztec race. Hum
dreds Of years ago the Aztecs peopled the
region now known as Mexico. They en-
joyed high degree Of civilization aud
controlled vast territory on the North
American continent. Their rule was Dis.
turbed by the invasion Of the Spaniards.
The story Of the Conquest of Mexico Il
q thrilling chapter in the history of the
Western world 1t is miraculous that
Manager Con 7. Kennedy in assembling
his mighty amusement enterprise has
been able to secure the last surviving
members of a race which once played an
important part on this continent. While
In Mexico last winter Manager Kennedy
was informed that two Aztec children
were living up in the mountains few
miles from Chihuahua. He lost no time
in locating them and made arrangements
with the Mexican government to bring
the children to the United States for ex-
hibition purposes, obligating himself to
return them upon the conclusion of tina
present tour. The Aztec children ara
an educational feature, and will be on
exhibition with the Con T. Kennedy
Shows at the State Fair, September 20
to October 4.

FREE ATTRACTIONS
FIR CANNING FAIR
Thousands Of visitors to Be Given Treat
Every Day on State Fair Grounds.

Surprising all former state fair free
attractions, both in number and enter
tainment value, the offerings for the
thousands of visitors of all parts of the
state who viii throng the city Of Nash
vile this fall viii prove the greatest
feature of the big six-day event. The
management of the Tennessee State
Fair has been unusually busy during
the past few weeks arranging contracts
with various show organizations over tho
country, and the committee on amuse-
ments states that the many big outdoor
free attractions are to be of the variety
that cannot fail to please.
A big forty-piece cavalry band will
furnish music during the entire six days,
concerts being given all during the day
and night
The racing ostrich something never
before shown in Nashville-will be a
feature that will prove delightful and
interesting to the children as well as
the grownups. The big bird viii run
trotting race with race horse and will
demonstrate the fleetness of foot of ma
ture's largest fowl.
A sensational, death-defying loop-the-
loop act, one of the most hair-raising
stunts ever placed before the public
will be performed by Nicholas Chefalo,
the daredevil king. The act has never
before been shown in Nashville or sur
rounding country and is one of the lat
est thrillers on the road The loop will
be looped directly in front of the big
grand stand each afternoon and night.
The Six Castlians in feature aero
battle act will be another Of the free at
fractions that will appeal to the thou
sands of lovers of the gymnastic art.
The entertainers have performed in prac-
tically every country in the world and
bring to Nashville the latest in aero
battles.
Lovers of grand opera will be given
treat.
The big night horse show, where the
elite assemblies to view the states peer
less show horses, il always an attrac-
tion to every one, and this seasons
nightly event will outclass al former
displays of Tennessee trained horse
flesh
And the fireworks everything that
has ever been shown before in connection
with all the latest and most modern
celebration apparatuses- be spec
tacularly beautiful in their scenic eff
fects
Many other free attractions are to be
added during the next few weeks and
1t is the intention of the fair manage
ment TO make this season a headliner.

FAIR TO SHOW sAMAR TWINS

The Con T. Kennedy Shows, which
will provide the big amusement features
at the Tennessee State Fair, September
20 to October 4, enjoys the distinction
of presenting one of the most remark
able educational attractions ever brought
out by travelling amusement organiza-
ton. The Samar Twins, wards Of the
United States Government, born on the
Island of Samar, in the Philippines, have
attracted international attention. These
children, born together, similar to the
Siamese Twins, were the big feature in
Chicago with the Ringing Bros Worlds
Greatest Shows at the Coliseum last
spring. Manager Kennedy, approaching
the value of this really extraordinary at
traction, secured the Samar Twins for
the Con T. Kennedy Shows. Eminent
medical men in various parts Of the
world have examined the Samar Twins
with the hope that it might be possible
by means of an operation to separate
these Filipino boys. Surgeons in Paris,
London, Berlin, ST. Petersburg, New
York and Chicago have given the matter
attention, but 1t would appear that the
Samar Twins are destined to live and die
together. There u nothing repulsive
about this feature Of the Kennedy
Shows. The Samar Twins are like other
children, full Of life and vivacity, inteIli-
gent and favored with genial DISPOSE
ton. They are known as Natures

AGRICULTURE AT STATE FAIR

From the colonial beginning Of this
country there has been some apprecia.
tion Of the fact that our really big de-
velopment problems were agricultural
problems. For many years this appre-
citation was merely latent. After vast
tillable areas had been added to our pos
sessions, and as the possibilities Of our
millions Of fertile acres began to be un.
derstood, this appreciation increased
amazingly. Long since it has become an
active fo2ce in our national life. Today
men IN all walks Of life are studying the
farm, farmers and farming. Giant armies
are marching forward under bamera
