new STRUCTURE
ON FAIR GROUNDS
COUNTY BUILDING WILL HOUSE
EXHIBITS FROM FIFTY OR
MORE COUNTIES.
NORTHERN WISCONSIN TO AID
Has Promised to Send Ten Thousand
Patrons to Exhibition at MiIWau-
kee During the Week OF
September IA.

MaQ1SOn.-Wnen the 1914 state IalI
opens on September IA, the exhibits
of so or more counties will be found
housed in brand new building, and
model structure Of it's kind. Architect
A. G. Clas has completed plans for this
new county building, and it will be in
readiness for the exhibits it will house
by the time the exhibits arrive at the
grounds.
The new county building, through
the efforts of DR.. G.. A. Kletzch, one Of
the Milwaukee members of the Wis
consin state board of agriculture, will
be famed by business men of Milwau-
kee. Therefore it practically will be
gift of business men of Milwaukee
to the state fair.
The>new county building practically
is the result Of an informal agreement
between the fair board and northern
Wisconsin.
Northern Wisconsin will be strongly
represented by exhibits at the 1914
fair. Representatives of counties in
that section of the state, in meetings
held at Wausau, Amigo and Superior,
assured the fair board that their Sec
ton of the state would be adequately
represented at this years fair, If the
counties could be assured that their
exhibits would be properly housed and
displayed. They were given this as
surance by Doctor Kletzsch and other
- t1o hn
county building comes into existence
in the way of keeping faith with north
ern Wisconsin.
Northern Wisconsin is keeping
faith with the board, for this section
of the state will be represented as
never before at this years fair. It
will not only send exhibits, but this
section has assured the board that it
will be represented by not less than
10000 patrons Of the fair. Already, ar
rangements have been made for spe-
cial train carrying 500 from Amigo,
and the arrangements for this delega-
ton for hotel accommodations here
also have been completed.
Northern Wisconsin has an addition
al reason for taking it's present great
interest in the 1914 fair. 1t desires
that it's freight traffic and other bust
ness come and go by way of Milwau-
kee, rather than through Chicago, and
it believes that Milwaukee will readily
recognize the sincerity of this desire
when it sees what gigantic efforts
northern Wisconsin makes to make
this years fair decided success.
And this section Is going still far
ther, and in a direction Milwaukee will
appreciate.
When the next legislature meets,
members from northern Wisconsin
will demand that the state do it's full
duty by the state and provide the
buildings necessary to house the con-
stantly growing fair.
The 1914 fair, it will be found. will
be so important as an exposition Of
the resources Of the state, and 80 me-
morable from the point of view of
number and class of exhibits that it
will be imperative upon the state to
come to the rescue Of the Wisconsin
state board of agriculture and furnish
buildings absolutely necessary.

Start Inspection Of Nurseries.
The state orchard. and nursery in
spection for 1914-15 began during the
first week Of July. and according to
James G. Sanders, inspector, College
of Agriculture, University of Wiscon-
sin, there will be more than ITO nur-
series to be visited this season. The
inspection usually lasts until Octo-,
Der /.
License certificates are granted to
all firms whose premises show abso-
lutte cleanliness and freedom from dis
ease. All nurserymen who have not
yet made applications are urged to do
so at once in order that their places
of business may be inspected at an
early date.
In addition to the inspection of the
stock growing in the nurseries of the
state, trees and shrubs imported from
Europe are looked over carefully to
prevent the possible Introduction of
the dreaded Gypsy" and "brown-taiP'
moths and other dangerous insects
which are doing considerable damage
to fruit and shade trees in the eastern
counties.

If the noble achievements of Negro
bread-winners were given half the
prominence in the big daily papers as
that accorded to the Negro malefac-
tors, the race would have a far better
setting even in this prejudiced nation.
AS it is, the picture is all one-sided,
all black! The worst and weakest
side is constantly held up for the
contempt of mankind and we are re.
garded as incapable of anything that
is good and noble, entitled to none
o fthe considerations of virtue, pos.
sessing no vested rights, entitled tc
no gratitude for service, worthy OF
no rewards for sacrifices-just Ne,
groes, black, l~ustful, horrible!
Is it not strange that in the face Of
all this the members of our race con
tinue to be so disloyal to each other
Is it not strange that we do not emu
late the race-love of the Irish, the
Italians and the Jews?
Is there no lesson for us in Jim
crowism, lynchings and burnings?

Negro men must cultivate a greater
respect for Negro and the
women must cultivate a greater re-
spect for themselves. 1t is not a one

quite frequent that women even lead

lie. One such act offsets the refine.

race it is the exception which breaks
rather than proves the rule. 1t is al.

but their lack Of refinement and mod

That Masonry is having a wonderful
revival in this community was again
evidenced on last Saturday night,
when a class of 26 novices were init
lated into the mysteries of the Order
by the famous degree team conduct
ed by Past Master E. G. Lacey. The
lodges working were %Pritchard, West
port, r. T. Coles, Mt. Olive, and Mt.
Dread, and nearly a hundred brethren
were presest to assist in the cere-
monies. The degrees were not fin
ished until $3.50 Sunday morning,
when an elegant luncheon was served
by the newly initiated Masons. The
Grand Master ansounced that the va
cancy of District Deputy would be
filled with a prominent and aggres-
sive young Mason and the Craft is
wondering who it will be.

Now that school days are nearing
an end and preliminarjes are being
cast for annual closing exercises,
teachers should keep in mind a criti
cism which many thoughtful patrons
made from time to time relative to
the over-pretentiOusness of grammeI
school exercises. 1t can hardly be ex'
pected that grade pupils should write
and deliver theses upon abstract sub
jects or that they should be sufficient,
ly matured to discuss popular sub.
jects interestingly. 1t naturally fol
lows that any attempts toward these
would to the average person indicate
much false bolstering and ~veneerine
upon part Of either parent or teacher
usually the latter.
Elementary school exercises should
be elementary, simple and should re
fleet child ideals rather than class
les. They should not presume upon
the realm of the high school or the
college. They should not invade the
sphere of the drama or the grand
opera. These will come later when
the minds Of the children are more
nearly mature and their experiences
are more in harmony with the larger
undertaking.
Children get most out OF what they
do for themselves and out OF them
selves. Education is an unfolding. II
is not a propping-up. Propping-up
produces weakness and ultimate use

Where a Horse Is a NoveIty

A horse is such a commonplace ob- ject to most of us Chat it brings some what of a shock of surprise to read of Che astonishment and fear caused among Indians far Dorth in the Upper Yukon distriot. The horse belonged to Charles Sheldon, naturalist and hunter, wbo describes his explorations in the wilderness of the Upper Yukon;
 "ln the afternoon, shortly after see ing an old Indian and two boys on the left bank, we came to their camp, where four families were occupying tentf. Never had seen Indians in the north of such healthy and vigorous appear ance. AsI took the horse off the boat all started to run, and their dogs, which were tied near,the tents, became greatly excited, and struggled against tbelr chains to attack him. None of the Indians of the upper Pelly river ever before had seen a horse"
 On the next day the experience was repeated at a second camp;
 "As the Vidette rounded the curve into Ross river and made fast, gazed from the deck at the multitude of h. dians-men, women and children-all assembled on the bank and nervously rushing about. When the gang plank ,,oe r,,t o,,t snddenIv rode Danger, the horse, to the shore and approached the Indians on a trot, while men, women and children were fleeing in all directions and shouting in fright My progress was suddenly checked, how ever, for at once a dozen or more dogs rushed at the horse, bowling and snap ping. If the trappers had not qSickly beaten them off, the horse surely would have been disabled"
 News of the wonderful animal was immediately carried ahead.
 "Many Indians had come to our camp for the purpose of seeing the horse, which aroused intense interest among them. One morning three ape peared very early, and watched us throw the pack on Danger. So great was the astonishment to see him walk off with a pack of two hundred pounds Chat they followed us for three miles" Dumb Animals.

Wal Raise Cl1racao

Preparations for raising the steam. chip Curacao, of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, which was sunk in Tonewek bay June 2l of last year, have been started by Capt. Harry T. Crosby and Capt. A. Blssett, who pur- chased the vessel from the under writers. W. A. Bissett, brother Of Capt. Bissett, will be in charge of the actual work looking toward the raising of the vessel This will include the dredging of channel in which the ves- sel will be placed after she is raiseds the gathering of a number of scows and the unstepping of the big main mast of the vessel SO scows can be placed over the vessel to bring her to the surface. At the point where the Curacao eank there is an 1S foot tide aud low beach. The Curacao draws only 14 feet, and DO trouble is expected by the wreckers in placing the vessel on the beach so the necessary repairs can be made to her hull.
 The coal now in the vessel will be pumped out, and by the time the men are ready to raise her she will be clear of cargo. The intention of the owners of the Curacao is to raise the vessel, re- pair her on the beach and take her south under her own steam. She will be sold after her arrival in Seattle. Several companies, according tO re. ports, are already after the vessel, and one bid of S9OOOo already has been made for her delivery at Seattle.
