Base Ball at The Fair.

There has always been interesting
and well played games Of base ball at
the Mineral Point fair, but none more
so than this year.
On Wednesday the Dodgevile and
Waldwick teams FLASHED and it proved
to be hammer and tongs" contest
for ten innings, the Dodgevile boys
finally winning by score of 6 to 5.
Thursday the large crowd saw one Of
the best amateur games ever staged in
southwestern Wisconsin. Teams rep
resenting Monroe and Mineral Point
did the battling. For seven quickly
played innings not tally was made by
either side. In the eighth inning. how
ever the Monroe players went up in
the air. long enough to permit the
local boys to grab off four runs. The
remainder of the game went scoreless
and consequently Mineral Point won,
to 0.
Fridays game was between Linden
and Highland teams. The former
proved too strong for their opponents
and captured "the becon." Score
to 0.
Nothing held the attention Of the
people more than did these contests.
There seems to be no abatement of in

PEERLESS, MEMORABLE
FAIR.
Slch ia the Voluntary Expression of
Every One of the Thousands Who
Attended the Mineral Point
Fair Last Week.
PRIORITY FEATURED EVERY DEPT.

Mineral Point has had another fair
one peerless and memorable. OF the
forty-tiye successive exhibits of this
association, each noted in history for
its liberality, reliability and general ex-
cellence, not one was superior ii. these
points of merit to that held last week
People were present from all sections,
near and far, and the satisfactory
complimentary in fact expressions of
one and all harmonic. The Tribune
unhesitatingly believes that the Miner
al Point Fair for 1914 is deserving of all
the praise outside attendants are volun-
tarily showering upon Il.
The unfavorable weather on Wedaes-
day was reasonable cause for the light
attendance that day. but the rare ex-
hibits were there and the base ball and
races proved extra good and those who
did turn out were more than pleased.
1t is thought that the threats Of the
weather man Thursday morning kept
away several from distance. Probably
so, but nevertheless an immense crowd
passed through the gate. Friday was
a duplicate of Thursday.
Any attempt at detail would most
likely fsll short of doing full justice.
But Gid any person attending the fair
ever see better live stock, no matter
what department may be considered ?
For this superiority in live stock
throughout this section of the country,
the Mineral Point fairs are entitled to
as much credit. or more, than any other
one agency. This association has ever
been persistent and consistent with its
encouragement, its liberality, its hos
pitalisy.
Not in live stock alone has this old
reliable fair proved benefit. a stimu-
liant, an encouragement. Think of the
excellence Of the products of the field
and garden you saw displayed there this
year. Did you ever see better? Then
revert to the departments of fruits and
flowe domestic and culinery. fine arts
and Ull-a.i onal. In each Of these was
SOMETHING Of merit and charm unknown
and unheard of at the inception of the
society.
A special reference to the educational
department is not out of order. The
scope was far-reaching, including the
cultivation Of field and garden products,
and open to all classes Of school pupils
from the advanced student of the
high school to the little tot of the rural
school. AS result OF the liberal prem
ums exhibits were many and of rare
merit and came from all sections of the
county Interest was intense of course,
and tor the awakening of the same to
the superintendent of the department,
Prof. Jesse A. VanNatta. all credit is
due.
In a word, the Mineral Point fairs
have not only been credit to the Of
ficials and the town, but an inestimabIe
be.fest in numerous worthy ways
throughout this corner Of the state,
while its influence for progress has
reached far out in every direction.
Never in the history of the fair did
more classy trotters and PAGERS grace
its race track Runners were below
par, as seems to be the case every
where. Results follow

The playing Of Hurley was the best

Finding Out How
to Suit Everybody

It is quite a problem sometimes
with manufacturers as to just
what kind Of people to make an
advertising appeal to regarding
their wares.
Take the case of Fatiina Cigar
ette-the makers felt that this
blend of choice tobacco was ex-
tIaordinarily good and were at a
loss for some time as to whom
they might make the initial ap-
peal finally some one suggested
to try them in the college towns.
This was done and the student
body was quick to realize that in
Fatima Cigarettes was blend of
very attractive tobaccos. The
success of this cigarette was in
stantaneous-the college man go
ing home on vacations spread the
good word about Fatirna in cities
and towns all over the country,
until the demand became enor-
nous. In fact, more money is
passed over the tobacco counter
for Fatima Cigarettes today than
for any other cigarette in America.
There is no special kind Of
people who particularly like Fa-
timas-they are smoked by the
wealthy and the man Of moderate
means. The popular slogan, "dis-
