MRS. FRANCIS KING
Honored by State Fair Association
Sole Judge of Floral Display

Mrs. Francis King has been APP
pointed as sole Judge of the ninth de-
partment of the sixty-frst annual
Michigan State Fair, which will be
held in Detroit from September 7th
to the 18th. The department which
Mrs. King will judge is called "Plants
and Flowers" and is subdivided into
three parts, Plants in Pots, Plants in
Boxes and Baskets, and Cut Flowers.
H. H. Dow, of Midland, is the member
of the association in charge of this de-
partment. $S07.00 in cash will be
given as premiums in this department
alone, and range from $500 to S1.00,
Rare skill and knowledge of flowers
and arrangement is necessary to
Judge this exhibit, and for that
reason Mrs. King was chosen. There
are probably only very few persons in
Michigan who would be able to sue
cessfully handle a flower show as
vast as this one in regards to quality
of flowers and foliage shown, artistic
effect of the exhibit as a whole, the
quality and rarity of material eXhib-
tied, and color harmony, etc. Mrs.
King has devoted a good share of her
life to her hobby of flowers, and has
become noted for her educational lee
lures along this line and for her
garden of untold beauty.

Entitled to Credit for Work Done

The Fourth of July celebration at
st. Louis was varied in its attractions
and drew an immense crowd. Two
ball games, one in the morning and
one in the afternoon, between Ithaca
and Shepherd, furnished amusement
for the baseball fans, fast horse races
in the afternoon satisfied the lovers
of that form of recreation. Acrobatic
stunts and expert rifle shooting en-
tertained the children and parade of
autos in the morning was interesting
to all. Shepherd defeated Ithaca in
both games of ball, 13 to 3 in the
morning, and 13 to in the afternoon.
Berkhardt pitched both games for
Shepherd, and Ranger pitched four
innings and Sutton the remainder of
the first game for Ithaca. Williams
pitched three and third innings, SUIT
ton one-third inning and Wiseman the
rest of the second game. Wiseman
played good game considering the
fact that he pitched an entire game
Friday.
The races were we'll attended and
the music was furnished by the Alma

was pulled off as was expected. The
track was in excellent condition and
the time made was very fast.

we sent more than 10000, 900 worth,
and have been doing better ever since.
However, we have not begun to sup

One cannot escape the American
