One Italian ship which arrived in
New York during the week brou-
ght nearly 1000 immigrants. All
OF this goes TO prove that the
United States will continue to be
regarded as the land of promise,
and this in spite of the forecaster
and economists who have insisted
that the loss of so many millions
of able. bodied men would put
labor at premium in all of the
countries of Europe. Quite nat
urally we regard the question
from our own standpoint and not
from that of the old world. The
resources of the United States are
boundless. There are still great
areas of undevOloped country
We need immigrants of the right
kind but we do not want them t
the rate of q million a year, as We
have had them in the post.
Undigested immigrants, like I'M
digested securities are not good
for any country.

The Clark County Fair which is
to be held in Winchester July 20
20 inclusive will be the biggest
exhibition ever held in the state
of Kentucky. Preparations are
under way for the handling of the
largest crowd that has ever attend
ed fair in that city, and the lar
gest number of horses that has
ever attended county fair in the
Blue Grass will be quart cred on
the ground. To take care of tine
horses the fair company has been
compelled to construct additional
barns and everything will soon be
in readiness for the big event.
The tract which is the fastest
half mile course in the state is in
prime condition and will continue
to be improved from now until
the date of the fair. There will be
twelve trotting races and eight
running races during the meeting,
and entries which closed July 10
showed horses entered from the
Central, Middle and Southern
States One of the greatest show
events which will bring together
the creates number of high class
saddle horses is the Bankers Stake
carrying with it premiums to the
amount of $3.50 aud the Brown
PrOctocia Harness Stake, with its
premiums of $loo.
All the high-class saddle horses
in this and other sections of the
State and many from other states
will be here to compete for the
premiums which are the richest
that have ever been offered by a
Kentucky Fair Association. The
management of the Fair has pro-
vided the best band in the country
that could be secured to furnish
the music for the Fair, and the
Royal Scotch Highlanders will
play musical programs during the
afternoon and evening. The con
certs at night will continue for
one hour and forty minutes. In
addition to this an excellent
amusement feature has been Sc.
cured in the Metropolitan Shows
with its two great bands and
personnel of two hundred and
fifty people. Reduced rates on
all rail roads leading to Win.

SHOULD SLOAN'S LlNIMENT
GO ALONG?

Oh course it should! For after a
strenuous day when your muscles
have been exercised to the limit
an application of Sloan's Liniment
will take the soreness and stiffness
away and get you in fine condition
for the morrow, You should also
use it for d sudden attack of tooth
ache. Stiff neck, backache, stings,
bites and the many accidents that
are incidental to vacation. "We
would as soon leave our baggage
as 60 on vacation or camp out
without Sloan's Liniment. +"
Writes one vacationist: We use it
tor everything from cramps to
toothache." Put bottle in your
bag, be prepared and have no
regrets.
