NEW LAuRELs FOR STATE FAIR.

NEW LAuRELs FOR STATE FAIR.
Success ana distinction have again
been bestowed upon the Iowa state
fair and exposition.
Although the weather during the
earlier part of the fair was unfavor-
able and an unusually severe storm
struck the grounds Monday night.
nevertheless the total attendance was
within six thousand of last year and
the receipts within about $4,000 of
last year and 1913 was the banner
year In point OF attendance and re-
ceipts.
In number and value Of exhibits nc
previous fair compared with It, Espe.
cially was this true Of the live stock
exhibit which forms such an impor.
tant part of the fair. All authorities
on live stock exhibitions declared this
to be the greatest in the entire coun.
try.
This years fair was far more com
prehensive than ever in the range OF
interests touched upon by the, exhib-
it's. Education, art, music, manufac.
turing, commerce, agriculture, stock
raising-lecture courses, concerts
amusements all Of these had an i'm.
portant part in the fair and in the
attention paid them. In truth it was
far more than fair-it was an expo
sition
The officers and members Of the
Iowa state board Of agriculture are
indeed grateful for the success of the
fair and for the new standard which
it has set for itself. Exhibitors, visi
tors, the loyal army Of workers, the
farm papers and the newspapers all
had a highly important part in these
new attainments. The management
wishes to express its sincere apprecia
ton Of all who have thus helped &c
bring new laurels to the greatest fail
in the greatest agricultural region ir
the world.

lament. It was not introduced by
Keir Hardie, nor by the present Lib

Lord Willoughby de Broke Is hide

are opposed to any form Of compul-

is perfectly sincere, and his friends
attest the honesty Of his intentions.
. Willoughby de Broke's own military
experience has been limited to serv-
ice with the Warwickshire Yeomanry,
a militia regiment of cavalry in which
he was major; but as a descendant of
one of the warriors who helped Henry
VII smash "Crookback Dick O'Glou-
cester" In the battle Of Bosworth and
who was afterwards made captain
general of the British forces In
France, doubtless he considers 1t a

to my work. But evening came, and
he passed by my window again. he
had nothing l thought he would have.
The bed OF the wagon was bare. No
little shoes, nor food for the morrow,
nor money in his purse, dare say.
The man was drunk. He had changed,

distilleries. For instance, during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1911, 114,-
5O9,S55 bushels of barley, wheat, rye,
corn and oats were used in making al

raised, during the year 1910, total

WAS NOT A GOSSIP
BY HAROLD CARTER.

$50 you're thinking Of building
here" said the postmistress, leaning
out through the wicket. well, you'll
find Glen Cove a nice little town for
such as minds their own business.
That is to say, it used to be nice, be-
fore the summer people came. Now
it's hive of gossip-fairly makes me
tired.
Il don't see why those summer peo-
pie who build houses here can't nina
their own business, but it just seems
as though they can't. They're always
talking about US and poking fun at our
ways, and what are they themselves
Take old Mr.. Hodges, for instance. he
has that big white house on the hill,
and they say he's worth ten millions
all of it stolen in dishonest business
deals. Then there's Mrs. Jetley, down
by the shore. They say her husband
married her at the point of a pistol.
/ don't know; l hope it isn't true.
"As I was saying, Glen Cove used
to be a nice little town before the sum-
mer people came along and began
building here. Now there's that Mrs.
Alfred Perkins. Her husband made his
fortune in oil. When they built here
I started to be friendly with them, not
knowing that they we're as bad as the
rest. Young Tom Perkins seemed kind
of sweet on Milly Watts, the daughter
of our expressman. They used to stroll
along the shore together. l used to
hire Milly sometimes to clean up for
me; the Wattses didn't have so much
money in those days, when the sum-
mer people were only just beginning
to settle here.
'Well, of course everybody in Glen
Cove wondered what there could be
between Tom Perkins and Milly. 1t
stands to reason rich mans son isn't
meaning very much when he goes
round with a poor girl like Milly.
Folks used to talk about it, as they
will, you know, but I'm no gossip and
nobody ever heard me say an unkind
word about anybody.
when fall came, the Perkinses de-
parted for New York, taking Tom. with
them. After that Milly sort of pindled.
Tom Perkins used to write to her every
day or two, and I didn't like handing
her those letters. 1t seemed to me it
was my duty to tear 'em up, only the
