ALTHOUGH the feminist move

A THOUGH the feminist move
70 ment is daily and more and
20 more universally demonstrat-
ing the fact that women are
qualified to engage in any pursuit, call
ing or occupation heretofore individual
to man, it is not to be inferred that
the arts, handicrafts and handiworks
heretofore associated solely with the
gentler sex are to be neglected Rather
are they to be fostered in accordance
with the views of representative wo-
men of the state, and in furtherance
OF this design a Woman's shop has
been instituted as a feature Of the
plans for the Kentucky State Fair to
be held in Louisville Sept. 1918
This shop will be located in the Wo-
mans building on the Fair grounds,
but will not be auxiliary to the com
petitive exhibitions of the Womens
Department Rather, the shop is de-
signed as q salesroOm or clearing
house" for every variety of useful and
beautiful article made by womankind
and such products as embroideries, bed
spreads, rugs, table covers, pottery, jew
elry, lamp shades. household or garden
furniture, baskets, draperies, etc. may
be entered free Of charge in this shop
and ticketed at the owners valuation
for a possible sale which will be with
out any commission charge to Fair
management or members in charge
Articles entered for sale In the Wo-
mans Shop are not eligible for cOmpe-
tition in the catalogued classes. Arti-
Giles must be sent at the owners risk
and will be carefully cared for and re-
turned il unsOld at the close of Fair
week.

HE Farm Boys Encampment,
one of the most important as
IL well as picturesque features Of

"HE Farm Boys Encampment,
one of the most important as
well as picturesque features Of
the Kentucky State Fair, an
nually brings to this agricultural and
live stock celebration a Juvenile repre-
sentative from the 100 counties Of the
state.
To the boy standing sponsor for his
home section the trip is an epoch and
the honor much coveted and striven
for. Heretofore the eligible boys were
selected from farm boys between the
ages Of fifteen and eighteen years and
through written competitive examina-
tons submitted to a committee com
posed Of a member of the State Board
Of Agriculture and Of the faculty of
the Agricultural College.
This year new ruling requires that
the boy competing for the trip and
consequent honors and pleasures must
be a member of either the Boys Corn
Club or the Boys Pig Club of his
county and must each grow one acre
of corn or raise one pig as mini
mum effort and must keep a daily
record of the cost and other data.
Boys eligible to this contest must be
between the ages of ten and eighteen
years, and no boy having attended an
encampment in prior years will be con-
sidered.
No county will be permitted to enter
this contest with less than fifteen men,

bers, and where the question Of sub
stitution arises the board will consider
first the pig club boys in the counties
that have corn clubs organized. Where
there are no corn clubs or pig clubs
organized the board reserves the right
to appoint substitutes from other coun-
ties.
Il. G. Nelson Of Hopklnsville, Ky, Is
state agent for the Boys Corn Clubs,
and Otis Kercher of Lexington. KY, is
state agent for the Boys Pig Clubs,
and boys desiring TO enter either or
both Of these clubs should Immediate
ly notify the respective agents at the
above addresses, and upon receipt Of
their names all necessary instructions
and rulings will be forwarded them.
The purpose Of the Farm Boys En-
campmcut at the State Fair is to ex-
tend the educational advantages of the
Fair through the farming districts of
the entire state, and the results grow
ing from the three former encamp-
ments have been highly encouraging.
During the week Of their stay here the
boys are guests of the Fair and in
their tented city" on the grounds are
provided with every comfort as well
as entertained by the wonders of the
celebration. The judging contests TO
which they are eligible are of meal
culable educational advantage, and the
delegates are also taken on sightseeing
excursions to the manufactures and
show places Of the city of Louisville.

ALASKA COAL LAND
 POOR INVESTMENT

George Watkins Evans, in charge of the Matanuska expedition for the Navy Department which examined that field, recently made the follow ing statements before the Seattle Chamber of Commerce regarding Alaska's coal supply:
 Coal from any country is usually regarded as more or less unclean, but Alaska coal seems to be particularly so, if we are to judge from the num- Der of men whose regulations have been more or less soiled by having come in contact with it," said MT. Evans at the outset.
 q have spent great many years in studying the geological and mining conditions in these Alaska fields, and am in a position to know the com parative values of the various coals, and also what the mining costs are and what they should be. have al so spent several seasons in examin- ing the two principal Alaskan coal fields. If I am correct in my con- clusions concerning them the cost of mining in the Matanuska and Boring river fields, and the additional cost of transportation, will almost preclude these coals in the Seat tie market in competition with the coal supplies from King and Pierce counties.
 "When the supply of California fuel oil diminishes, and the mining costs of the West Virginia coal become higher than they are at present, then will Alaska coal move to points furth' CT south than is possible at this time.
 "This statement is not to be taken as casting doubt on the importance of opening the Alaska coal fields for general use. but the greatest use for this coal will be within the territory itself, in developing mining proper ties, where the price of fuel is now excessive, and thus assist in install ing smelters for the reduction of Alas ka ores.
 "It is possible also that steamship companies will find it cheaper to use this coal instead of California fuel oil for steaming purposes if they can secure a supply of good fuel in Alas ka and also from the local coal fields at Seattle, for in this way they can save cargo space now used to carry fuel oil on the trip north"
 MT. Evans then said that. if. as claimed, the fuel consumption on the Pacific coast Is equivalent to 10000, 900 tons of coal there is sufficient high-grade coal in Alaska to last over 200 years.
 Another way of looking at this, he said, would be to assume that Alaska at some future date will have a population of 100000, and that each person there will consume five tons of coal each year, or 5,OOO,OO( tons per annum, and then there will be sufficient high-grade coal in the Pacific coast fields of Alaska to last over 800 years. Then, in the state of Washington we have in addition an original tonnage estimate of 20, 100000, so that we need not fear fuel famine for some time at least. On the question of investments 1T these Alaska coal fields, MT. Evans
 said there are certain areas tha would not justify the investment O a dollar, and because of the grea 1 variations existing he would have t' advise his banker friends not to haz 1 ard the risk of loan until after the! had obtained the judgment of a com l potent mining engineer.
