SHOWS HOW FAIR
CAN Be IMPROVED

Madison, Wis, Feb. 4.-Sec. J. c..
Mackenzie submitted his annual re-
port to the state board of agriculture
yesterday and made the following re-
concentrations:
Discontinue night entertainments at
the state fair.
Cut out the gipcy fortune t~ellers,
snake eaters. monstrosities, etc. Keep
the shows clean"
Extend the spelling contest feature
to include mathematical, declamatory
and judging contests.
Show moving picture films OF the
fair through country districts free of
charge.
Discontinue billboard advertising and
use the press instead.
Urge railroads to run special trains
to the grounds induce Milwaukee
portation facilities generally.
Select superintendent of depart
ments from among officers of county
fairs.
If q siX-day fair be decided upon, ar
range a high-class musical programme
and engage a speaker of national repu-
tation for Sunday attractions. instead
of racing and shows.
Limit poultry exhibitors to fifty
DlrdS each; eliminate many So-called
fancy birds from the premium list, and
extend premiums for the more popu-
lar breeds.
Build a liberal arts building, a wo-
mans work and art building and a
larger county exhibit building.
Erect an iron fence around the
grounds.
Extend the distribution of reliable
agricultural statistics to attract more
settlers.
In number and quality OF exhibits,
the 1913 fair was pronounced the
greatest in the history of, the state.
Secretary Mackenzie, accounted for
the deficit by the fact the board was
required to meet bills for improve
ments and equipment from the state
fair receipts, the legislature repeating
former acts appropriating for specific
purposes on the grounds, wherein the
balances in the several special funds
were RENTED to the general fund.
The premiums were also larger thar
before, and other items cost more.
Because the evening entertainments
proved Improbable, their discontin-
uance is recommended.

and many stories float about as to his
probable whereabouts, but no one
knows where he is at present"

Magazine: I have more than once been
called upon by capitalists to investi-

designed and made to operate. 1t

q purpose of running machinery or

This, for the simple and comprehen-
sive reason that it would have to ex-
pend every foot pound Of energy de-
veloped in order to re-establish its
source Of power, and there would
therefore be no surplus energy avail
able for purposes Of outside work. If
it could be conceived that a perpetual

5eous standstill as soon as a dynamo Or
any other load were imposed upon it.

"One of the reasons for the cost of living" observes wise clubman, Ties in the fact that people buy wholly unnecessary things. I had a conversation with the proprietor of a novelty shop in Fifth avenue a few days ago. A shiny object had attract ed my attention, and inquired about its use.
 These said the proprietor, are gilded pincers to pick up letters one has placed on the letter-scales.'

Real war conditions sometimes give rude shocks to the professional soldier trained to arms in the well-ordered days of peace. Here is a case in point. A Prussian landwehr company was being mustered into service and there were many things to be done. Uni forms, equipment, rifles, were to be distributed, rolls prepared reports made out, and quartermaster's lists checked up. The captain had his hands full. He ordered his first sergeant to find noncom, who could write neatly and figure a little. The first sergeant was equal to the emergency. Corporal Kammermeyer was prompt ly summoned and crisply detailed for duty as company clerk. The corporal reported to the captain, who looked him over with a mixture of wonder and distrust
