GREAT FAIR SAYS
PRESIDENT REWEY
BY OLIVER G. REWEY,
president Wisconsin State Board of
Agriculture

/ president Wisconsin State Board of
Agriculture
| The 1914 Wisconsin, State Fair to
be held in Milwaukee Sept. Ia to 18
inclusive will be the gr eatest statefair
Wisconsin ever has conducted, in every
particular.
Despite the fact that many buildings
were demolished by tornado on May
81, and many more were burned in the
fire Sunday. Aug. 2, this years fair
will be housed in far better shape than
any fair during recent years.
New buildings furnishing more ex-
hibit space than was furnished by
structures destroyed will be finished
and ready for occupancy. An army of
workman is toiling on the fair grounds
now. have inspected the work with
in the last twenty-fo1r hours and know
that all buildings will be completed by
the date have mentioned.
Will Be S.. 900, 900 Exposition.
This years state fair will be
SIS, 600, 600 exposition of the resources
of Wisconsin. There will be over one
million dollars worth of horses on the
grounds, over million dollars worth
of cattle and over million dollars
worth of machinery.
Secretary J. C. Mackenzie records
show that the exhibits in every depart
ment will not only outnumber the
records of any past fair, but they will
surpass former years in class and
quality.
Take the department of county ex-
hibits, and it is fair criterion. Last
year we had about thirty counties rep
resented. This year over fifty have
already signifed that they will be rep
resented, and more still may come.
Our automobile department will show
all the 1915 models of cars sold in Wis
consin, thus beating the automobile
shows by six months mention the
automobile department because it is
going to be one of the best departments
of this years fair.
Grand Special Attraction.
In addition to providing the best fair
proper Wisconsin ever has given, the
Wisconsin State Board of Agriculture
has arranged to present the best special
attractions ever given at state fair.
On the opening day we will have an
entire afternoon program of automo-
bile races which no auto enthusiast in
Wisconsin and adjoining territory can
afford to miss.
The harness racing will be far above
any pre- cedent set at the Wisconsin fair.
The four days of racing will be really
grand Circuit racing, for many of the
horses coming here already have
won literally in the Grand Circuit.
Beachy and OIdfieTd Coming.
Then we will have Lincoln Beachey,
the famous bird man, with us for four
days. He will give three exhibitions
Zach day, looping the-loop upside down
and doing other wonderful stunts.
On Friday, the last day of the fair.
Beachy, in his aeroplane. will race
the famous Barney Oldfield, in his auto
mobile.
want everybody in Wisconsin to
come to this years fair, for the sim
pie reason that it will be the greatest
fair we ever have given, and all who
attend will be more than pleased with
what they see and learn.

Out of the half burned Glove bunga-
low" near Spring Green in which Mrs.
Mamah Bouton Borthwick, the "soul
mate" of Frank Lloyd Wright, the
Chicago architect, and four others were
slain on Saturday by Julien Carleton, a
negro chef, magnificent structure, to
equal any in the state, will arise.
This was the announcement made by
Wright Monday morning after he had
seen to it that the grave of his former
"soul mate" had been properly taken
care of.
Burial at Night
The body of Mamah Borthwick was
taken near dusk from the home OF
Andrew T. Porter, a brother-in-l law of
Wright, Sunday night and placed on
spring wagon. Ralph and Orrin Lloyd
Jones walked ahead and slowly led the
horses. Wright and his son walked be-
hind with downcast heads.
At the Wright burial lot, about a
mile from the wrecked '1ove castle"
four men carried the body to the grave.
Wright took an armful of flowers
from the spring wagon.
They grew in Mamah Borthwick' 8
, garden.
He cast them into the grave singly.

A GOOD LOSER HERE

Robert Morrison, one of the mail
contractors mentioned in some of the
stories of the unjust operations of
the parcel post law, was in town Sat-
urday on his way from Mackay to
Mountain Home.
Mr.. Morrison spent about twenty
five years of the best part of his
life accommodating snug little for
tune by steady application to business
in Custer county, and when the par
eel post went into effect he was car
rying mail by stage from Mountain
Home to Dixie and other places to
the northward. He had good ex.
press business, carried some passen-
gers, and the mail contract helped to
keep up expenses. He was tied up
in a four-year contract, and with
the coming of the parcels post his
express business vanished and ap-
peared as post parcels which he had
to carry at the old rate under the
contract. If a sack of flour came
along, he did not get his express
fee for it but got nothing. If a
lot of -four or hardware of other
goods came along with stamps on
he had to carry them through, even
though he had to hire extra teams
and drivers to do it. He lost money
and appealed to the government to
make provision for his protection
He did not take the contract to carry
mail under some new law or new
condition which the government
might impose after he signed the
contract, but Uncle Samuel and the
people are pleased with the showing
made, Notwithstanding the carriers
may be going -confiscating
their private fortunes to the general
good. Congress was slow to act, and
congressman as rule like to wait
for things to adjust themselves.
They don't know very much about
the west, and especially staging, and
they care very little about a few
hundred or a few thousand stage
drivers going broke. Mr.. Morrison
says he is under bond to carry the
mail and he is carrying it. The de-
partment made ruling that when the
volume of business doubled in such
case, they would allow the con-
tractor an increase of % percent on
his contract. If it increased 200 per-
cent they will allow an increase of
90 percent on the contract price. In
other words, if it takes one team of
mules to haul the contract mail and
express, the parcel post would cut
down his income by just the amount
OF the express fees he received even
though he carried the same goods
When business increased so 1t took
two mule teams to carry it, the sec
ond team received 23 cents on the
dollar, and the contractors bond
compels him to keep at it.
Mr.. Morrison is keeping sweet
under the strain, and was not talk
ing anarchy, although the confiscation
is operating to take away even the
mules he is working at loss.
