The Letter e"

Some one has advanced the opinion
that the letter ''e' is the most unfortu-
nate letter in the English alphabet, be-
cause it is always out of cash, forever in
debt, the beginning of every evil, never
out of disgrace or danger and in hell all
the time. For some unknown reason
he overlooked the fortunateS of the let
ter and we call his attention to the fact
that it is never found in war, but always
in peace. 1t is the beginning of exist
ence and the end of trouble. Without
it there would be no meat, no life, no
heaven. 1t is the center of honesty,
makes love perfect and without it there
would be no home, no wife, no money,
no stores, no horses, no water or feed, no
editors, printers devils, news, baseball,
and a great many other useful and in
dispensible things.

Don't be too hasty about feeding your
wheat to the hogs. Let's figure little
bit first. In 1913 an acre made 10 BUSH

the same acre has made 20 bushels and
is now selling around 10 cents. Last
year IS DIN acre and this year Sl4 an acre
for your wheat-s6 ahead. Don't let the
hogs have it.
The farmers over in Posey county,
Ind, have harvested their wheat and the
crops remind them of Carter oats. Car
ter did not have room on the ground for
the shocks. The HoOsier farmer, so the
report goes, had an average of 500 shocks
to the acre and each threshed out a
bushel.
Although 10000 sacks have been given
out TO the wheat growers OF CLARK coun-
~ by the Winchester mills, there still
exists big shortage and many thous
ands more will be needed, though al
present they cannot be obtained either
in Louisville, Lexington or Cincinnati,
say the millers.
Advanced methods in potato raising

ing with pride as of yore, will turn an
appraising eye on her adored young

And in this reply is demonstrated
the march of progress, which leads a

baby show based on scientific ap-
praisement of the physical condition
of child instead of on the beauty Of
its dimples, curls or limpid eyes, and
the growing enlightenment of parents
who seek to discover the shortcom-

stock raisers gauge the merits of their

neral loneliness which might soon be
dimmed by ailments or deformities un-
suspected by babys loving guardians.
The Health Contest is a movement
which has swept with amazing rapid
ity over the entire country and was
introduced at the State Fair last sea-
son for the first time in the history of
the State.
The object Of the Health Contest is
the promotion of hygienic methods in
child raising along much the same
lines as fair exhibitors follow in scien-
tific stock raising and appraising.
The movement was first introduced
as an offspring of the Mothers Health
Congress held at the Louisiana State
Fair at Shreveport. in 1908, and the
Importance of the results were SO uni
versally recognized that states nearly
all over the union rapidly followed
suit
The Babies Health Contest will, this
year, be under the supervision of Mrs.
John d. Woodbury., and examinations
will be made during the first three
days of the Fair in newly construct
ed Babies building which will have
transparent walls through which spec
tators may observe the processes of
measuring and weighing the toddlers.
Babies from IL to SO months are eligi-
BILE and the entry lists will not close
until September 8. Entry blanks for
the Babies Health Contest may be OBJ
tanned by application to Kentucky

Jones building.
In Difference to numerous inquiries
and requests last season for an entry
class for twins in the Babies contest,
this department has been added and
twins will be judged on separate

KENTUCKY HORSEFLESH PRE-EM|NENT
THROUGHOUT The WHOLE WORLD
Three Thousand Dollar Prize Earth's Un-
Equalled Equines Allured By Dazzling Stake
In Commissioner Of Agriculture's Five Gated
Saddle Horse Ring

Kentucky horSefiesh is recognized
as pre-eminent throughout the world
and it is, therefore, only fitting that
the state should boast the greatest
premium ever offered in a contest for
equine class, as will be the case when
the champion saddle horses of the
world gather at the twelfth annual
Kentucky State Fair, to be held Sep
TENDER 14-19 next, to compete in the
Commissioner of Agriculture stake of
$1,000
There has never been a like sum
offered in contest of this kind, the
nearest approach to the amount being
the $4,000 prize money offered last
year in the same five-gaited saddle
horse event, for which ]. w. Newman,
Commissioner of Agriculture, stands
sponsor.
The announcement of this award In
the classification of the horse depart
ment of the State Fair catalogue for
1914, will be certain to cause a sensa-
ton among horse owners and breeders
throughout the country, and it is an
assured fact that the greatest lineup
of blue-blooded animals the country
has ever witnessed will be in the big
hippodrome ring on the night of Fri
day, September Is.

The $4,000 premium is to be divided
into eight classifications, the first be-

entire working organization on the
crescendo each season and which
makes a forecast for the coming cele-
brations a dizZying process, but for
the fair of September 1919, Secre-
tary j. L. Dent has achieved a coup
in securing the Rice & Dore aggrega-
ton for the Midway that places the
amusement end of the twelfth annual
festival safely under the wire of vic
torious superiority.
Than the Rice & Dore Carnival
shows there is no better organization
of the kind extant and they will offer
pleasure seekers at the fair lengthy
list of new and alluring novelties.
Among the number will be the
Water Circus, unique adjunct to a
travelling organization. The Water
Show is an aggregation of aquatic
marvels in which thirty performers
take part, and which all the wonders
and witcheries of the New York Hip
podrome Tank is displayed. There
are worlds champion male and fe-
male divers and swimmers, log rollers,
water walkers, high diving dogs and
ponies, clown stunts and the amaz-
ing fact that whenever a performers
act is finished they disappear beneath
the waves never to appear visible on
the surface again, during that particu-
lar show, at least. The exhibition is
whirlwind of fun, mystery, beauty
and thrill, devoid of a single objec-
tionable or risque feature and some
thing that State Fair audiences have
never witnessed heretofore.
Another out of the ordinary and ex-
ceedingly valuable exhibition will be
working model of the Panama Canal
in charge of Captain Ladere, who
worked under Colonel Goethals in
Panama and who knows as much
about the "big ditch" as an encyclo-
pedia. Boats will pass back and forth

ilie of the canal and enabling them
to witness the working of the Guile
