State Fairs Deficit.

The state fair, as usual, has deficit.
This year it is about $4,000, due, it is
claimed, to the rainy weather. The
total receipts were in the neighborhood
of $40, 900. This in brief is the finan-
cial story of the state fair. The reor-
ganization of the state board of agri-
culture, the new conditions under which
the fair was held, and the improve
ments made, it is said, has brought the
fair to place where it should be big
profit payer. Only the rain on three
days of the fair prevented this consum-
nation of the plans this year. Another
year, it is predicted, the state fair will
be a success, providing, of course,
the weather does not act up again.
The rain, it was thought. cut about
500, 1000 off the receipts of the fair this
year

Hope for the Interurban Road.

Once again the Madison papers are
holding out encouragement that the
Chicago & Wisconsin Valley Railway
Co. will Immediately begin work of
construction it's interurban lines from
Madison.
J. E. Jones, president of the COM
pany, who has nursed the infant of
years ago into feasible reality, states
positively that the project is financed
with strong and reliable frm-a firm
which, through its engineers, has for
weeks made thorough study Of the
whole proposition and signed prelim-
mary contract for financing and build
ing the entire system. A complete and
final contract will be signed the COM
ing week. This contract calls for a
first class road and new equipment In
every way. No bonds nor stock will
be peddled nor will construction depend
on local aid. All outstanding stocks
and bonds and indebtedness will be
taken care of before the work is COM
menced and unless all plans fail, work
with a full force will be renewed in
October. Men locally interested seem
to feel that the project is go.

DURING the past year Europe has

DURING the past year Europe has
purchased from us a billion dollars
worth of supplies. chiefly foodstuffs
and munitions of war. We in turn have
absorbed many millions of our own
bonds and stocks which have been sent
here for sale. Patriotism and the op-
portunity to purchase bonds of their
own government at favorable prices
have caused foreign capitalists to give
UP our securities, many of which had
been held abroad for twenty years.
That prices of our securities have been
so we'll maintained is, of course, highly
gratifying. There will doubtless be
millions more to follow in the next
twelve months. On the other hand,
the United States Dollar is now the
standard measure of value throughout
the world, and the only unit which is
not below par. When business trans
actions in South America are discussed
in terms of dollars instead of pounds or
marks, a great advance has been made
toward the day when the financial cen
ter of the world shall be in the United
States; but when that day arrives, its
sun will flash the light of freedom from
our flag on every sea and In hundred
ports, with a navy which will assure to
every American that same courteous
respect which is afforded every En-
glishman. H. H. Windsor in the Octo-
Der Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Danger of Lockjaw in Felt.

That commercial gelatin, charcoal
and other substances useful in medi-

germs of lockjaw is we'll known.
Quite recently it was found that felt
so commonly used in orthopedic reten-

germs in abundance. Two patients
who had been treated at a German
hospital lost their lives as a result Of
infection from the felt plates used to

A Happy Day for the Children.

The dedication of the children's room
at the library Saturday was pleasant
occasion. The dainty new curtains and
bright, beautiful flowers, arranged by
the ladies of the library board, made
the room very attractive, but the I'm
ishing touch was furnished by the rosy,
smiling little faces of the children who
came to see what the city had given
them. Over one hundred attended the
story hour, eighty-six drew out books
and twenty-five registered and were
given cards. There are now six hun
dred children using the library.
Miss Marion Humble of Madison told
the stories in the afternoon, three to
the little ones and two to the older
ones.
The steady downpour of rain pre-
vented large attendance OF adults In
the evening, but those who heard Miss
Humble's inspiring talk on the influence
of good books, with a plea to parents
and teachers for their careful super
vision over the reading of the children
in their charge, were we'll repaid for
Drawing the storm.
Miss Humble brought with her fine
display of children's books at moderate
cost, and compared them with sample
copy of trashy boys book, such as is
often seen on news stands and depart
ment store counters, emphasizing the
fact that it is not the prohibitive price
of the good book, but the lack Of know
ing what constitutes the worthwhile
book that puts poor literature into the
hands of children.

In A recent interview, Franklin K.
Lane, Secretary of the Interior, eX-
pressed himself as gratified with the
public interest in the development OF
our great national parks. ''The num-
Der of visitors has been steadily in
creasing," he said, ''but this summers
travel will be far ahead of other sea-
sons. As the magnitude, beauty and
healthfulness of the parks are better
understood it may be expected that the
yearly travel to them will rapidly in
crease. Thus, the damage caused by
the war is being neutralized by Undue
ing Americans to spend money at heme.
The whole country is the gamer by this
intermingling of the people of the East
and the West" Secretary Lanes
modest estimate of sat least hundred
million dollars that Americans are
saving to America this year is. indeed,
conservative in comparison with the
figures compiled by Lockwood Barr,
editor of the Wall Street Journal, who
finds that the 600, 900 Americans who go
abroad each normal year spend, IN pas
sage money alone, $S7, 900, 600. Most
of the steamship lines, of course, are
foreign. ''It is quite impossible, ne
continues, ''to get even fair approx
imation of the amount of money tour
lists spend while abroad in hotel bills,
railroad, steamboat and other forms OF
transportation, gratuities, etc. An es,
innate by one who comes in contact
with representative part of the regu
lar summer exodus of Americans tt
Europe places the amount of money
spent in this way at very conserva
tive minimum of 1920, 900, 600.

Blasting Barbed Wire.
the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
The French Instructions for the re-
moval of barbed wire obstacles defin-
itely call for the use Of explosives. For
this purpose long rods of melinite are
fastened in bundles of three to a pole
161a feet long, 8 inches wide, and tA
inches thick. AT the end of the pole
is a collar which projects forward
eight inches. and to which the end of
a second pole is fitted, if the extent of
the explosion is to be more than the
length of a single pole. Each pole has
a wooden head of almost conical form,
with a steel cap and two little wooden
wheels, five inches in diameter. The
pole is pushed straight into the
of barbed wire or along the ground
beneath it. Thanks to it's form and
to the little wheels. with which h
head is provided, it glides in easily
enough. If necessary, another pole is
fitted into the collar Of that already in
the network of wire. The charge Is
ign1ted by means of a fuse connected
with the last bundle Of melinite in the
pole. Each pole supports 80 bundles
or packages Of explosive, equivalent to
about six pounds of melinite per meter
CPS feet) and is carried by two men.
A single pole will blow open a passage
about Is feet wide.

Tho Turk As a Fighter.

AS a result of the showing made by
Turkey In the late Balkan war. the i'm
preston has been created that her ar
my is composed of poor material, and
that her presence in the present hos
%tilities will be of little moment. That
this is a mistaken idea is the opinion
of a military expert who writes OF the
military resources Of Turkey in the
fourth war issue of the Scientific Amer
lean Of December 5. OF the Turk, as
an individual, he says:
The Turk, when properly differed, is
q redoubtable fighter; and we say this
in spite of his overwhelming defeats
in the Balkan war; for In that struggle
he was taken unawares, and the lead
ership was poor. Under German guild
ance at headquarters and German con
troll in the field. he will undoubtedly
give a good account of himself in the
present war, in which his chief handi-
cap Will be his numerical inferiority to
his Russian enemy. For it is the opin-
ion of the best informed military men
in this country that if the STEAMBOAT
government places 500, 900 we'll equipped
regular troops in the field, that figure
Will represent it's maximum effort.
