MACHINERY DISPLAY
BIGGEST EVER HELD
Minnesota State Fair Show o.
Cupies Seventy Acres.

The big machinery show at the Min
pesota State Fair, Sept 6 to II, GOV:
ering over seventy acres, exclusive Of
the area used for pillow demonstra-
lions, is to offer large number Of
new types of farm machinery to the
public this fall. AS last year it will
continue the biggest display of ma
chinery in America.
Several new large modern struc-
lures are being erected by firms inter-
ested in making machinery, and Ma
chinery Hill will be better equipped
to handle machinery exhibits than for
merly. One of the new buildings will
be a modern farm house built from
the plans that won first prize in the
model farm house contest conducted
by the State Art Society a year ago.
1t is to be the first ora series Of farm
buildings, including a modern barn,
granary, milk shed, and other struc-
lures.

There is a tendency on the part Of
manufacturers to exhibit more new
models this year than ever before.
AS result everything new in the
farm machinery field will be shown at
the Minnesota State Fair this fall It
will afford an excellent opportunity
to farmers in the Northwest to study
all the different types of machinery
now being introduced for the first
time. The usual lines of staples will
be exhibited as formerly.
1t is believed by w. w. Sivright of
Hutchinson, Mimi, superintendent Of
the machinery department, that the
previous high mark of 312 exhibitors
will be exceeded this year. Many
local manufacturers who have never
exhibited at the state fair are consid-
ering the proposition this year. The
fact that over 100000 persons will Wis
it the fair and inspect their lines
makes this method of advertising a
very profitable one.
No Space Charge.
There is absolutely no charge for
outside space on Machinery Hill. For
the limited amount of inside exhibit
space a nominal charge of 5 cents a
square foot is made to partially cover
the depreciation, lights, and other ex.
penses. Only one exhibitors ticket
must be purchased by any exhibitor
free admission being given to all the
helpers necessary to care for the ex.
hibit.

NEGRO is BURNED ON SQUARE
Taken From Court by Mob on Charge
Of Triple Murder-Admission
of Guilt Alleged.

Temple, Tex, July 31-Will Stan
ley, the negro arrested on a charge
| of being the man who murdered the
three Grimes children, was taken from
the justice court room at: midnight
and burned on the public square in the
presence of thousands Of men, women
and children. People had thronged
the streets all afternoon and evening
| awaiting the outcome Of the examina-
| ton of alleged accomplices brought
from Rogers.
The two negroes brought from Rog-
ers were released after their exami-
nation and told to leave the city.
The scene on the well-lighted public
square at the time of the burning of
the negro was spectacular. The mob
had chosen an open space in which to
build the pyre, this being surrounded
by men who yelled and cheered as
they showed the negro into the flames.
The streets were filled with pedes-
TRANS and automobiles loaded with
fascinated onlookers. Trees fringing
the street on the side of the square
nearest the burning were filled with
boys, while scattered through the
throngs were many young girls.
When Stanley was, cast into tho
| flames he struggled frantically to es-
cape, but was repeatedly showed back
Several men said Stanley confessed
that he did the killing, claiming that
he had been hired to do the deed. He
begged to be permitted to- live long
enough to tell all about it, but his al
legged admission Of guilt was sufficient
for those around the fire.
A shot was fired which some claim
struck the struggling negro. His strug.
giles soon ceased and the gathering be-
gan to dispense. In few minutes the
square was practically deserted and
the crowds had vanished.

Dispatches to London Report Country

OF Military Value.

London, July 31.-The Russians now
are facing the problem of evacuating
Warsaw and the surrounding country
without losing their armies, while the
Austro-German forces are making a
supreme effort to get across their line
of retreat. The Teutons are said to
have met with partial success in this
attempt, Berlin official report stat
ing that Field Marshal Won Mackensen,
resumlng the offensive, had reached
the Chelm-Lublin railway, about mid
way between those two cities, and that
southeast Of this as far as the Bug
river, the Russian front had been,
Shaken"
The success of General Won Mack,
ensen in getting across this railway
after having been virtually stopped byj
the Russian counter attack, denies at
least one line of retreat to the Rus:
SLAMS who might still be between
him and Warsaw, and also places the
Germans in a position to move against
the Bug river front should this be-
decided upon.
British military critics, however,
refuse to believe that Grand Duke
Nicholas, commander-in-chief of tho
Russian forces, has not provided for ali
contingencies or that he was not fairly
sure Of the safety of his troops be-
fore indicating to the world that he
had decided to take up new line.
Indeed. the news contained in the
Berlin official statement that the Ger
mans have crossed the Vistula river
southeastern Warsaw, between the Pi-
lica river and >KoZienice, leads the mil
itary writer's to the belief that the
Russians already have fallen back in
this region and that perhaps even the
fortress of Ivangorod has been left to
Its fate.
Russians Applying Torch.
There is no news of the situation on
the NareW river or of General Won
Buelow's wider outflanking movement
In Kovno province. However, the opin-
Ion is expressed here that as the Ger
man plans contemplate a series of at
tacks rather than a simultaneous one,
1t is probable they are waiting for Won
Mackensen to reach some previously
arranged position before they resume
their attacks.
According to dispatches received
here, the country around Warsaw
which the Russians are leaving to the
invaders has been put to the torch,
while the city itself has been denuded
of everything that might be of use to
the Germans if it falls into their hands.

Poor Grandpa.

Pa. did you ever run away when you were boy" No, never" Did you always go to Sunday school?" "I never missed Sunday" Did you ever do what your parents told you not to do?' T am glad to say that I never did" Didn't you ever make a fuss when you had to take a bath?" q should say not I always took my bath without complaining. I liked it. Didn't it ever make you mad to be called in to do something for your mother when you would rather stay out and play with the other boys?' Tt always gave me the keenest pleas ure to do things for my mother, no matter whether I had to stop playing or not" And did you always speak respectfully of your parents?" Al ways. That was one of the first things 1 ever learned to do. Gee, what a liar grandpa is."

 Two gentlemen to see you, MT. Kennedy" Jennings interrupted our | congratulations, handing Craig a card Shall tell them you are here, sir?' Craig balanced the card. T wonder what that can be-" he said, turning the card toward us.
 It was engraved:
 w. R. Barnes,
 U. S. Secret Service. Yes, I'll see them" he said; then to us, Please excuse me?"
 Elaine, Aunt Josephine and l strolled off in the palms toward the Fifth avenue side. while Jennings went out toward the back of the house. Well, gentlemen" greeted Kennedy as he met the two detectives, what can l do for yeu?"
 The leader looked about, then leaned over and whispered, We've just had word, professor, that your model of the torpedo has been stolen from the navy department in Washington"
 "Stolen?' repeated Kennedy, staring aghast.
 Yes We fear that an agent of a foreign government has found a trai- tor in the department.
 Rapidly Kennedy's mind pictured what might be done with the deadly weapon in the hands of an enemy.
 And" added the secret service man, we have reason to believe that this foreign agent is using China man. Wu Fang.
 But Wu has been arrested" replied Craig. I arrested him myself. The police have him now
 Then you don't know of his es- eape?"
 Kennedy could only stare as they told the story
 
 The crook fell back and dropped down behind the palms Jennings looked about, but saw no one and stood there puzzled. Then the crook fearing that he might be captured at any moment, looked about to see where he might hide the torpedo. There did not seem to be any place. Quickly he began to dig out the earth in one of the palm pots. He dropped the torpedo, wrapped still in the hand kerehief, into the hole and covered it up.
 Jennings was clearly puzzled. He had seen someone rush III, but the conservatory was apparently empty. He had pust turned to go out when he saw palm move There was face! He made a dive for it and in a mo- ment both he and the crook were roll ing over and over
 Kennedy and the secret service men were talking earnestly when they heard the cry for help and the scuffle.

The Inactive Woman.

Women the world over have a bane- ful habit of leading inactive lives. They persuade themselves that they get plenty of exercise while doing housework, and then when they go to bed at night they cannot sleep Just for change, try little exercise out of doors after the afternoon sun has gone down and the air Is cool. Fill your lungs with all the fresh air they will hold, taking deep breathing exer- cises as you walk along, then go home and see if you do not sleep better than you did the night before when you had not taken any fresh air into your starved lungs

Tumblers of Ice.

Plumbers of ice are the latest de- light of diners in the fashionable ho- tels and cafes. The tumbers are made in molds, carefully purified wa ter being used. If the patron so de- sires the ice tumbler or glass is placed in a paper or celluloid holder. which retards the melting of the ice and permits of the slow slipping of the drink.
 It is the confident belief of the in- ventor that the new idea will prove very popular, since such tumblers will have the hygienic advantage of never being used more than once It is planned to so perfect the method of manufacture and distribution that the glasses will be available for use in private homes.
