IMPERIAL MANIFESTO AWAITED
Emperor Nicholas May Take Charge

ST. PETERSBURG. July 3O.-In
Russia eyes the die is cast Only a
political miracle can avert war.
Russia does not swerve from her
determination to support Servia, and
partial mobilization already has been
ordered. There is every indication
that the whole vast military machin.
cry Of Russia soon will be set in mo-
ton.
An imperial manifesto is awaited
today.
Should Emperor Nicholas become
generalissimo Of the forces, as it is
understood that he will, an immense
wave of enthusiasm will sweep over
Russia The political parties have
sunk their differences. The general
attitude is not "jingoistic" but one Of
resolute confidence in the justice Of
the country's cause and readiness to
make all sacrifices.
The proposal attributed to Austria
to discuss terms when Belgrade has
been occupied Is regarded as impos-
sible. 1t is pointed out that before
opening of hostilities Russian pro-
posed to Austria direct exchange of
views, which Austria rejected.

AGRICULTURAL FAIR
old INSTITUTION
Custom Began 100 Years Ago When
Two Merino Sheep Were Shows
in Massachusetts,.

Where the agricultural fair has the
earnest support of farmers in it's ter
ritory and of the business men of the
communities affected, it divides hon
ors wit hno amusement attraction,
not even wit hthe circus. Where there
are few oid-fashioned horse races,
or other sports OF the kind that al
ways appeal to natural sportsmen,
the greatest show on earth" has no
show with the fair.
According to the Springfield Repub-
lican, the agricultural fair is only a
little over hundred years old, as far
as America is corr erned. 1t is said
that the first agricultural show in
Massachusetts, occurred when the
people flocked from miles around to
see two merino sheep, brought to
Pittsfield in 1907. An historian o,
those days finds it's worthy of re-
mark that even some women came to
see those sheep. Elkanah Watson,
formerly of Albany, N. Y, concluded
that if people would come to see two
sheep they would come farther and
faster to see a large collection of
fine farm animals. Two pigs are
mentioned as rousing curiosity the
next year and by 1909 there were six
ty-nine yoke Of cattle set to draw a
pillow for the edification of visitors.
There was band of music ahead Of
the procession and en- platform at
the rear, drawn by oxen, the first spin
ming jenney and broadcloth loom in
Massachusetts were working to
show the people how it was done.
With much persuasion the women
at last came to take an interest in the
new idea Of making broadcloth from
the wool OF the merino sheep and it is
said that the president of the United
States sent and had suit Of clothes
