$685. 900 FOR STATE FAIR
Sum Will Be Available When Ten
Acres of Grounds Are Ac-
quired by Society.

Madison-When condemnation pro-
ceedings adding ten acres to the state
fair grounds on the east are conclud-
ed, $4,000 will be available for i'm
provements on the state fair grounds
before the 1916 fair. Before this
money is available, however, deeds
to the land must be filed in the Office
of the secretary of state and the prop
erty duly accepted by Commissioner
of Agriculture C.. P. Norgord.
Commissioner Norgord conferred
with District Attorney label and dis
covered that the condemnation pro-
ceedings are progressing, and that
there seems to be nothing in the way
of final transfer of the land to the
state within thirty days.
Upon conclusion of condemnation
proceedings there will be available
for immediate use for the State Fair
$4,000 for swine and sheep barns
and $4,000 for two additional sec
tons of the concrete grandstand.
The new swine and sheep barns
will accommodate about $500 ami
mails, and the additional sections of
the grandstand will give the stand a
total seating capacity of 5000.
1t is expected that plans for the
1916 state fair will be thoroughly
discussed by department of agricul-
ture officials and the state fair ad-
visory board early in November.

A mother writes: Our children are

they ever were before we made a
change in the character of the food.
We have quit using potatoes three

fruit. either fresh, stewed. or canned,
some Grape-Nuts with cream, occa-
sionally some soft boiled eggs, and
some Postum for breakfast and sup

meat and vegetables.

attribute this change to the food ele-

Racine.-Work has been started on
the $1,000,000 home for the feeble

Union Grove, this county.
The location of the home was select

The home for the feeble minded will
consist of more than dozen big build

Woman's browning glory has been

Not in the way of lotions or ONT

we experiment with our locks when
ever we wash them, and then some
times.
But woman has never really made
up her mind about what hair arrange

her hair down, then up, and then,
when she had forgotten the flowing
locks were sign of barbarism-al-
though there are some maidens of the
South Sea islands, aren't there, who
pile their hair on the top of their
heads and keep it there with spikes
of bone?-she wore it down again,
and, firing of that, she put it up.
Is she going to wear it down again
now?
Perhaps. For If you are a devotee
of the film shows you will know that
many of the moving picture stars wear
their hair about their shoulders. And
the moving pictures are an influence
In modern life-even, perhaps, in the
fashion of doing the hair Already
some young society girls have copied
some of the favorite picture actresses
and wear their hair curled about their
shoulders.
The fashions of the present, if any
body knows just what they are, favor
a return of hanging locks. For in
1860-perhaps we shall get our bout

1870 or 1S80-and maybe we shall get

time-women cultivated curls and
wore them hanging at the neck or
about the face. So with our old-fash.

BABY'S HOT-WATER BOTTLE
Easy to Make Cover That viii Please
the Little One and Is of
Material Use.

A cunning cover for the miniature
hot-water bottle which is called into
requisition for childish toothaches,
earaches and COLES is made of can
ton flannel. A small picot edge of
mercerized cotton is crocheted around
the edge and the opening, which is
drawn up over the neck of the bottle
with a narrow tape. One one side of
the fiat cover is embroidered, in blue
outline, the image of a pleasant old
tabby cat, whose silhouette, as she
sits smiling over her whiskers, just
fills the shaped cover of the bottle.
The reverse side of the canton flannel
bag is embroidered to resemble the
back of the same tabby. The bag, be-
sides retaining the heat and giving a
more comfortable sensation when in
contact with tender skin than the rub
Der bottle, will distract the mind of
a young invalid from her ills and in
sure more speedy convalescence.

Service Is a Hard One.

Most naval air mechanics are &C.
complished swimmers, and possess a
constitution of iron. When the navys
great seaplanes are launched the me-
chanics generally have to wade up to
their necks into the water to
maneuver the machine from the shore.
To plunge into icy-cold water in the
half light of dawn is not a pleasant
task, yet it is one which the sailor
mechanics have to carry out almost
daily. In rough seas the waves break
over their heads. and the seaplane
they are maneuvering is tossed about
like cork. Yet in true naval spirit
the mechanics of the naval air serv-
ice carry out their hazardous duties
cheerfully.

Special Exhibits for Per-

Madison.-Through the division Of
Agriculture, Wisconsin is the only
state in the Union that is co-operat-
ing through an exhibit with the U.
IS. Department of Labor in it's immi-
grafton work.
The U. S. Department of Labor
maintains an immigration station at
S4S Wabash avenue, Chicago, under
direction of B. F. Prentiss, inspector.
Director B. g. Packer, of the division
of immigration of the Department Of
A griculture, has already placed in
this station exhibits occupying a from
tage of seventy feet and setting forth
in impressive manner the wonderful
resources of Wisconsin, especially Of
the newly settled and unsettled Sec
tions.
The exhibit costs Wisconsin moth
ing, either for space or maintenance.
1t is largely of farm crops, with en-
phasis on forage crops and dairying.
Director Packer is taking steps
leading to cooperation on the part
of counties of Wisconsin in this ex-
hibit in Chicago, which will be per-
manently maintained. He desires
counties to furnish exhibits for per-
iods, and he will see that the ex-
hibits are effectively installed and at
tractively displayed. Director Packer
also plans to conduct illustrated lee
lures on Wisconsin possibilities, per-
haps twice month, in connection
with the Chicago exhibit
Many inquiries for Wisconsin land
for settlement come from Chicago,
the number reaching about $500 in
1914. Director Packer plans to noti-
fly all inquirers in Chicago and vicin-
ity of the date of his presence at the
Chicago exhibit, requesting them to
meet him on fixed date.
