TOLEDO FAIR is TO
BE A BIG EVENT

With just few more days beforeI
the opening of the 1914 county fair in
Toledo indications point to the at
tainment of this years objective of
the fair board-the biggest county,
fair in Toledo since the old Tri-state|
days, when as many as $4,000 and COL
900 people flocked to Toledo to see|
this big fair.
DR.. Iford, president of the fairI
board, is very optimistic right now{
and thinks that, with the support ofI
the Toledo Commerce club, and prac-
tically every man, woman and child
in Lucas County this years fairI
ought to be the best one out.
Not only will these be exhibits of
interest to the tiller of the soil, butt
there will be displays that will inter-
there will be horticultural, Horticultural,
agricultural, poultry and live stock
exhibits, coupled with high class trot-|
ting races. But in addition there will
also be huge implement and automo-
bile exhibits, dog show that is at
tractlng entries from as far away as
brooklyn and as far west as Kansas
City; baby show for Toledo and vi
cinity for youngsters ranging in age
from 6 to 18 months; horse show at
night, in which all contestants will be-
judged in the evenings before the
grand stand; and fireworks display!
that is reputed to be as gorgeous as
anything ever attempted in this vi
cinity.
Likewise, mention must be made of
the midway attractions. The West
colt shows, famous all over the coun-
try for their exhibitions, will handle
this end of the fair, and spectators are
assured of seeing some high class at
fractions with them. The big feature
of their event is Captain Bigney and
his high dive from a 90-foot platform
into tank filled with scarcely more
than four feet of water. Bigney will
also hold miniature water carnival,
in which will be given phenomenal
exhibition under the water. AS usual,
the Westcott features contain "mo-
tordrome" in which four motor cy-
clists race around saucer-shaped
track at speed of 70 miles an hour.
This is just partial list of the at
fractions on the Midway, but it is
enough to assure those who are look
ing forward expectantly to the fair of
seeing one of the best all-around coun-
ty fairs in the land.

What good the school will do for

OF Interest
to Women
Casserole Cookery ls Really An
Old Style and Has the Great
Advantage Of Keeping Foods
Hot-Proeess Secures Very
Palatable Dishes.

The principle of casserole cooking
is really old, but the present day
equipment is vastly different from
anything housewives have ever known
before. The poor family in practical
ly every country in the world for
many centuries has observed the prin-
ciple, hut the utensils were always
very crude.
The covered bean pot of the New
England housewives is fair exam
pie of the evolution of cooking uten-
sils, says the Housekeeper. From
that 1t is possible to trace very direct
ly the present casserole dishes, though
they are very artistic and made in
such shapes and wares as to lend a
real charm to the table.
Casseroles nowadays take on all
shapes and sizes, from the individual
dishes up to a size sufficient for serv-
ing a large number. The standards
in which they are placed when re-
moved from the oven and taken to the
table are of silver, nickel, brass, cop
per and wrought iron, and are exam
Piles of real artistic merit.
One of the most commendable
features of the casserole is that the
food Is always sure to come to the
table hot and it will keep not ror some
length of time. 1t is great aid in
serving meals in courses, as the cas-
serole course may be kept hot for
some time without any special atten-
hntn criy To u,b
food is cooked in the casserole will
not deteriorate if left for some little
time. This Is especially convenient
when meal Is delayed or when some
member of the family is not able to
sit down with the rest.
When casserole cookery is thor
oughly understood many combinations
of food and many inexpensive foods
will be put to use and very palatable
results obtained. The process of
cooking should be carried on at a
comparatively low temperature.
When articles of food like fowl,
meats. mushrooms, sweetbreads or
game are to be cooked, they should
be Drowned in butter or oil in a sepa.
rate dish and then placed in a cas-
serole and the pan carefully rinsed In
order to secure all the juices for the
earthen dish Never forget that this
cooking process should never be more
than simmer, and of course that
takes considerable time.
A word here might be said about
the care Of the pottery. All casseroles
and ramekins and dishes related to
them have polished interior surface,
therefore no flavor is retained IL the
dishes are properly cleansed with hot
water and soap.
There is one thing always to be
remembered. however, and that is
not to change the temperature from
hot to cold or from cold to hot too
suddenly, as that is sure means OF
cracking the ware.

WAR TO TEST TIE ., o,,n,,,n,,,-o

There is little or no defense against
the submarine. Torpedo nets and
booms are useless; armor is impotent;
vigilance of no avail. Even speed
cannot save a ship, for there is no
telling when, or in what direction to
flee.
At 1000 yards a torpedo seldom
misses it's mark. The 200 pounds of
gun cotton it carries is sufficient to
send the biggest battleship to the bot
tom. And a submarine, prepared to
fire dozen torpedoes, can get within
300 yards of its victim with little
probability of detection.
How They See.
Periscopes, a clever adaptation of
an old idea, make detection almost i'm
possible. These are L shaped tubes,
20 feet long and as many inches in
diameter. The foot of the l. projects
out of the water. In fact, that is all
Of the submarine which does show
above the surface.
In the periscope is set lens which
casts a picture of the horizon above
water into a mirror set at an angle
of As degrees. The mirror reflects the
image cast by the lens down the long
tube on white screen in the captains
cabin.
If you have ever seen the picture
cast on the ground glass of camera
you know the kind of image visible
to the officer in charge.
Fleet Is Sighted.
A black smudge on the horizon
shows the position of the hlockading
fleet. The commander desccnds from
the coming tower. Quietly he turns
to the steersman.
"Dive to 20 feetw
"Dive to 20 feet, sir" repeats the
man at the wheel. The little craft
slips under the water.
The engineer shuts off the gas en-
gine and the submarine glides along
under electric power at perhaps II
knots an hour. The ventilators close
automatically as they dip under the
water and make the ship air and, of
course, water-tight. The closeness is
relieved by compressed air. Enough of
it is stored to last "a hours.

Prepare to Fire.

Prepare TO flrS.
Only the periscope shows as the
little craft slips through the sea
Larger and larger the image of big
battleship grows on the screen.
prepare to fire"
The gunner takes a final survey OF
his work. In long tube, really
magnified air gun, rests the torpedo,
II feet long. Made of bronze, il
closely resembles huge cigar except
that twin propellers project from the
pointed end. A torpedo flies to it's
mark under its own power developed
in compressed air engine of its own.
Difficult to Detect.
Now the little terror barely creeps
along. Dozens of eyes on the battle
ship are watching for it. Powerful
marine glasses sweep every yard of
the seas surface.
But the periscopes do not project
more than foot or two out of the
water. These little poles are sea col
or. Besides, they dip behind every
heave of the rolling ocean.
Do you suppose you could see two
green fence posts sticking only foot
or two out of huge field waving and
rolling greenf grain 1000 feet away? :?
Now the submersible is in good
range of its target and points direct
ly at the battleship as if to ram it
amidships.
"Firew
Boat Rolls From Shock.
At the word the cap at the muzzle
Of the tube flies up. There is a muf-
fed thud as the plunger gives the
torpedo smart push. AS it passes
out catch depresses the throttle of
the torpedo's own engine and the pro-
pellers are whirring as it enters the
water. A gyroscope steadies the rud-
der and the torpedo holds its course
in spite Of sea swirls and currents.
The submarine crew braces for a
shock. In a moment it comes. The
little craft rolls and plunges as if in
! whirlpool. The torpedo, exploding,
has caused mighty convulsion in
the water.
Presently the quaking subsidies and
the periscope shows listing, and the
vessel or object struck by the torpedo
is no more.

FARM NO PLACE FOR TYR(
Prof. Spillman Warns City Men Who
Hanker for the Career to
"Hire Out" First.

"Hire Out" First.
Washington, ID. C.-Prof William J.
Spillman, chief of the Office of Farm
Management of the Department of Ag
riculture, warns city men that unless
they have been reared on tie farm
and know something about farming
the chances for success in that line
are very slim.
"The young man in the city who has
a hankering for farming should hire
himself out as farm laborer for two
or three years." said Prof. Spillman
He should select cummunity in
which farming is being conducted sue
cessfully. II he Is good man he can
get $50 month and his board and
lodging. He can clothe himself and
buy little incidentals for $40 per
month. The remaining $40 must be
deposited in the best bank in the near
est town. After he has deposited his
savings regularly for year or more
the banker will begin to take notice
of him. Before long he will offer to
lend him money to rent and equip a
farm of his own.
"The young man who starts in this
way will rent only small farm. say
fifty acres, at first. Within year or
two. by hard work and intelligent
management, he will have repaid the
loan and added to his savings suffici'
emily to justify him in renting lar
ger area. A little later he will be hir'
ing farm labor and will own his
place"
Prof. Spillman advises would-be
farmers to avoid the mistakes OF
largely increasing a particular crop
following season of very high prices
He displayed little chart showing
the size and price of the potato crop
during the past ten years.
"You will observe" he said. that
the price received for potatoes is reg
ulated absolutely by the demand
Every year that the crop Is over-plan
ted the price is low. unless it happens
to be bad year for potatoes.
Men who know nothing about live
stock raising frequently make the mis-
take of thinking they can get rich
quick by purchasing high-grade ami
mails and disposing of their offspring
at fancy prices. They may raise fine
calves and colts, but until they have
built up regulations as stock raisers
they will be disappointed in the finan
cial returns. Because a man buys &
$1,000 COW, 1t does not follow that ht
will get $500 for every calf. He mus
first make a name for himself as {
breeder.
Recently this Office made a surve!
of county in Pennsylvania tributar!
to Philadelphia. Several farmers were
found who were clearing on the aver
age $4,000 year. Most of them made
money on milk. But it appeared tina
all the farmers who made a. profit OF
milk kept only cows that yielded I
maximum amount. In some Instance
the yield was 800 per cow for th'
year. Other farmers reported yiel'
as low as $40 per COW. and they wer
losing money on milk. The COW
which yielded 800 were no more eS
pensive to keep than those that yield
ed only 500. The 800 farmers woul
sell their cows for beef long befor
the annual yield got anywhere nea
500 per head.
