RECORD LIVESTOCK
SHOW At HAML|NE
An Extraordinary Exhibit of
Pure-Bred Animals Expec-
ted at the Minnesota State
Fair.

The livestock show at the Mime
sofa State Fair bids fair to break all
previous records for size and quality,
if the early entries can be taken as an
indication. The superintendent OF
the horse, cattle, swine, and sheep de-
partments are preparing for an un-
usual exhibit of pure-bred stock from
all parts of America.
The swine show will undoubtedly
be one of the largest shows ever held
anywhere. The American Yorkshire
Club is holding it's first national show
at the Minnesota State Fair this year,
and at least twenty of the best York
shire breeders in the United States
and Canada will be represented. The
Poland-China and Duroc-Jersey Breed.
ers' Associations are cooperating with
the Minnesota State Fair in holding
two great futurities, in which about
40 herds are to compete. The Chester.
White breeders are taking unusual in,
terest, and the specials offered to this
breed will be holly contested.
Enormous Cattle Show.
Superintendent Thomas G. Paterson
has obtained entry lists from many
noted American breeders who have
never been at the Minnesota State
Fair. Cattle from the extreme parts
of the country are coming. The Jer-
sey cattle show is expected to stand
out as the largest special dairy breed
show in America, the list of special
premiums being larger than that Of
fered at the National Dairy Show.
Other breeds of cattle are to be prac-
tically as well represented. Last year
the Minnesota State Fair cattle show
was the largest State Fair cattle show
in the New World, and 1t looks as
though the honors obtained in 1915
will stand in 1916.
The interest which the farmers in
the Northwest are taking in the use
Of heavy draft horses is stimulating

eral large eastern breeders who have
not invaded the West for years are
planning to exhibit at the Minnesota
State Fair this year. 1t Is their desire

purchasers of heavy horses, and work
up business in the future Farmers
are being encouraged to attend the
livestock show for the purpose of buy
ing breeding stock, and it is expected
that many .of the horses brought here
for exhibition purposes will remain in
the Northwest.
Sheep Show Growing.
The sheep barn has been repainted
and completely overhauled in antici-
patton Of an unusually large entry this
fall. Sheep production is growing in
favor in the Northwest, and farmers
are taking more interest in them.
They convert much waste feed on the
farm into wool and mutton, and assist
in keeping the farm clean, as far as
weeds are concerned. Last year over
200 sheep were sold at the Minnesota
State Fair, and 1t Is believed that fully
fifty per cent more will be disposed
of for breeding purposes this year.
The stock is to be judged the first
four days of the week, and persons
interested in pure-bred livestock are
urged to attend the early part of the
week and follow the judging.

Needful, But Utoplan.

Mayor Curley of Boston was talking
about certain reforms.
They'll come, guess" he said. I'm
time we'll have those and many other
municipal reforms. But at present
they seem utopian and impossible.
Eyes, such reforms seem as incred-
lble today as the fake dinner invita-
ton that was sent out by Boston
wag.
"This wag, wishing to rebuke the
parsimony of a rich Back Bay host,
got up fake invitation that read:
"'Mr. and Mrs. Back Bay Poultney
request the honor of your presence at
dinner on Wednesday evening next at
eight o'clock. (Wine merchant and
cigar dealer both changed since last

expsy Kiss Routs Policeman.

Policeman Fred Barton, who has
never been looked upon as a Beau
Brummel, was directed to follow a
couple of pretty gypsy women to
see that they did not tell fortunes. He
followed the pair into a store, and
thought he detected them in making
an effort to do business when he spoke
to them.
"Oh, my dear little thing" cried one
of the women, as she threw herself
in his arms and chung to his neck and
kissed him fairly upon the lips. The
policeman's face was crimson as he
rushed back to city hall and de
clared that some other member of the
force would have to be assigned tc
trail the women.-Bridgeton On. j.

HOME BREEDERS FAVORED

Stimulate Livestock Production.

Stimulate Livestock Production.
Minnesota exhibitors of cattle,
horses and sheep are favored in the
distribution Of premium money by the
Minnesota State Fair. September 4 to
!. Outside breeders do not have as
good chance Of winning prizes. This
Dpscisl iuduoement is offered to en-
boSfase the breeding of more good
Isr9ss. cattle and sheep in Minnesota.
Premium money offered for these
nfes kinds Of animals is divided into
Two general parts. One part Is offered
n the open" classes, In which ami
malls from anywhere may compete.
The other part 10 offered in the Min
hesota" classes, In which only animals
rom Minnesota can compete. Thus
Minnesota breeders not only have as
tood . chance to win money In the
open" classes as any other breeders
but they also have an opportunity to
vim money in the Minnesota" classes,
Khere competition Is much less keen.
A. result Of this handicap, Mime
,ota breeders Of sheep, cattle, and
horses owning farm animals consider
ably inferior to those exhibited by out
dds breeders can win quite bit more
prize money. Especially is this true
when there happens to be very little
competition in the Minnesota"
classes. There have been instances
when Minnesota breeders unable to
bcors . single victory in the open"
slasses obtained more money than
most any Of the exhibitors from out
Dids the state.
4 general appreciation of this ad-
vantage. according to livestock ex-
pests. u certain to result in a bigger
kinnssota exhibit of sheep, horses
and cattle at the Minnesota State
Cair this fall than at any previous
kna.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
CALLED SIX TIMES

Calls for the fire department aver
aged about one an hour for six hours
yesterday, but in no case was there
any serious damage suffered. Prac-
tically all were fires on roof, which
were extinguished with little effort.
The sudden cold of yesterday
caused many persons to build fires
in CRATES where flues were in some
cases defective. This viii be respon-
sible, the firemen believe, FOR many
other unnecessary calls during the
cold weather. A little attention to
flues, etc., will preclude danger of
fire damage, as well as keep the fire
department from making upneces-
sary runs.
The fires yesterday were as fol-
lows:
At 11:23 a. M, No. 214 North De-
Villiers street. B. ]. Gonzalez, own
er and occupant; slight roof damage
At 1901 p. m, No. $40 North

The campaign will continue through
Thursday, Friday and Saturday. On
Thursday the teams will work with

DELEGATES RETURN
FROM CONVENTION

The Rotary delegation from Pensa-
cola, composed of w. P. Cunningham
and Henry Judevine, returned yester-
day morning from Jacksonville, where
the district convention has been in
session since Monday.
Many unusual incidents of the con-
vention were reported, and special
emphasis was laid on the manner in
which Tampa attempted to land the
convention for that city next year.
Eleven pirates, representing the Gas
piralla Krewe, too the banquent hall
by storm and shanghaied the presid-
ing officer, refusing to return him
until consent was given that Tampa
be selected.
Mr.. Cunningham stated that one
feature of the convention which was
clearly evident, was the obvious in
terest which was taken in the fact
that Pensacola was repre- sented.
One important measure the conven
ton endorsed, and will take active
steps to carry out, is to stamp out
illiteracy in this section.
The delegations from the various
clubs throughout the states of Ala
bama. Georgia and Florida wer,
urged to take the matter up will
their clubs and appoint committee
to Investigate and assist in overcom
ing iiiiteracy.
