STATE FAIR AUTO SHOW
TO BE GREAT SUCCESS
Practically All Companies to Be Repre-
sented at Exposition.

G. w. Dickinson, general manager of
the Michigan State Fair, asserts that
practically every company in the Unit
ed States which builds motorcars will
be represented at the auto show to
be held in connection with the big ex-
position at Detroit Sept to 10.
"The latest models will be on exhi-
bitiOn, and prospective purchasers will
have an opportunity 10 get line on
all the new creations of the manufac-
turers several months before the auto
shows in New York and Chicago" said
Mr.. Dickinson.
Building of autos on the grounds
will be another feature which will at
tract attention. The Ford Motor Com
pany Band will render concerts in the
automobile building, | believe that
the auto show will be one of the big
attractions of the Fair"

THE BELDING BANNER
Thrift Sunday

Woodbridge N. Ferris, governor Of
Michigan, issued a proclamation on
Thrift Sunday, which was observed
September 5. The Governor said:
Fifty years ago there was a prac-
tice among the best New England
families of encouraging their children
to cultivate habits of thrift. Today
many American fathers and mothers
give to their children money in a hap
hazard way. The most prosperous
a.d thrifty Americans of today learn
ed the value of dollar by earning it
when they were boys. Many parents
do not realize the Importance of CIV
ing their children the splendid op-
portunities they themselves enjoyed
when they were boys and girls. The
lack of thrift among American youth
is an alarming symptom. Thrift does
not mean stinginess, nor does it mean
undue regard for the dollar. Habits
of thrift in youth would largely do
away with the demand for old age
pensions. Thrift is really a practical
form of patriotism. Owing to this
lack of thrift, there is an inclination
to constantly insist that our govern
ment shall become more and more pa
ternal in its character. This nation,
in order to maintain its high position
in civilization, needs to train Ameri-
can youth to habits of thrift. With
thrift, other desirable habits are in
variably associated"

LAST OPEN AIR MEETING
HELD LAST SUNDAY

With the last Sunday evening union
meeting held in the Congregational
church the union open air meetings
came to close and regular services
will be resumed. Weather conditions
have been such during the past two
months that the open air meetings
have been disorganized, only a few be-
ing held.
The interest in the services has
been good, however, and the collec-
tions have been sufficient to take care
of all expenses.
The special offering for the organ
fund brought in enough, also, to pay
for the instrument. Following is a
statement of receipts:

FARM BOYS IN BASEBALL.
Managers Think They Outelass the
City Bred Youngsters.

'The other day inquired Of major
league manager what class Of young
men he wanted for his team" writes
Hugh s. Fullerton In Farm and Fire
side.
Give me the farmer he replied In
stantly. The chances for his falling
victim to the temptations OF baseball
are fewer. He may not be as well
posted as to city ways, but in one sea
son you cannot tell the difference.
They come larger. stronger, live clean.
err and think more clearly than city
boys do. Besides, the majority OF them
have the right idea I'm view. They
want to get money to buy farm.
Twenty, yes, ten years ago the ma
Jor league baseball teams were recruit
ed almost entirely from the larger
cities. Cincinnati led in production for
years, then Boston, then st. Louis.
A dozen years ago 30 per cent OF the
major league players hailed from New
England and from the Atlantic states.
Now more than GO per cent Of all
major league players come from farms
or from small villages, and the farms
produce greater number OF good
players than come from any other
place.
'Rube Waddell, RUDE Marquard,
RUDE Ellis, Rube Benton-a score OF
rubes have shows i'm major league
baseball, aud their nickname once was
one of ridicule. Not now. Managers
OF major league baseball teams are
looking for rubes, and when they say
Rube they mean, not the uncouth or
the awkward recruit, but the clean
cut, clean living boy from the farm

TURKISH SPY SYSTEM.
1t Not Only Keeps Tab Upon Stranger
but Spies Upon Itself.

Turkey boasts of more spies 10 tbs
square mile than any other country
as any one who has been to Turkey
VIII agree.
The peculiar thing about these spies
Is that they themselves cannot be
trasted. so that regular chain oi
spies is the result. There are spies To
spy upon the spies.
The government officials have the!l
own spies To watch other people. but
even the great authorities themselves
are already being spied upon.
What Is more, the method of spying
IL quite open. for the spies will stand
by wherever two or three foreigners
are gathered together and listen TO the
conversation. Visitors TO Turkey natu-
rally get worried over such attentions.
especially when it might be their bad
luck to be followed about for weeks or
months.
1t Is the "uninitiated" visitor who
usually receives the most attention.
since he or she will carry on CONVEX
sation in a quiet undertOne. The per
son who knows Turkey converses in a
loud tone for all and sundry-the spies
especially-to hear that he is only en-
gagged In pleasure or legitimate bust
ness, and the wise man leaves the topic
Of politics severely alone. London
