HUGE TRACTOR SHOW
FORTY FIRMS TO PL0M ON I3O
ACRE FIELD AT SOUTH DA-
kOTA STATE FAIR.

Huron, June est is expected
that forty different tractor manufac-
turing concerns will participate in
the tractor plowing show of the 1916
state fair at Huron, which will by far
surpass all previous attempts in

predicted that 60 per cent will eX-
hibit at the South Dakota exposition

There are forty acres of tractor eX-
hibit space in addition TO and ad-
joining the machinery and manufac-
turers' building, which itself contains
SO, GOO square feet of dust and wind
proof exhibit room. The state fair
board provides free to tractor eXhib-
itors field of 1870 acres for plowing
demonstrations. There will undoubt-
three-fourths of million dollars
worth Of tractors and machinery
An array of 5000 foremen, care
takers and helpers will be required
TO handle this great exhibit.
The reason why the tractor show
succeeds so we'll at the South Dakota
State fair" says Secretary c. N Nc
Ilvaine. is because the exposition is
In the heart of the greatest agricul-
tural and tractor belt in the world.
The people go wild over our show
because they know that this is the
power age and that farm tractors are
here to stay. That is why the state
fair board encourages the tractor
show and does everything within its
power to make the demonstrations
successful both from the standpoint
of visitors and exhibitors We an
tieipate that 125.00 people. the real
producers of this territory. will at
tend the coming exposition.

Prentice Manufacturing Company Gets Contract In Excess of $50 900.

The Prentice company, which man = ufactures buckles in it's factory on the Beech Swamp road, Berlin, re- ceived an order for it's line, amount ing to much more than S5O,OO0 dur ing the past week. The concern be- gan doing business about three years ago and there is a rumor atlcat that it will pay it's first dividend at the an- nual meeting which comes in Febru- ary.
 Because of the receipt of the large order it was necessary to refuse seV- eral smaller ones on account of the inability to secure labor. The plant is working at it's full capacity at pres ent and will continue to do so for some time.

 Recently throngs of appreciative women patronized this remarkable sale displayed and draped at the store of B. Altman & Co.,, New York, where one could buy little wisp of handker- chief with dainty bruges lace edge for s2.50 or pay as much as $125 for a square of linen with a mechlin border fine as any cobweb.
 AS one lacemaker can make but one thing, it is evident that where there are two or three kinds of lace in one piece it must have travelled from place to place. Perhaps a flower came from one village, some rich embroidered cor ner from another village, still another worker furnished the beautiful fauns and fairies in the center. It is more than likely that the workers on this one piece were white haired old women. The fine work comes from their in stinct, even though their eyesight Is all but gone and their hands tremble with the palsy. Their one design has grown to be the vital part of them.

 Death List Over 200.
 It is still impossible to give even with approximate accuracy the loss of life, as the number of persons on board has not been established. The passengers numbered something more than 200 and there were be- crew so that apparently the death list will run largely in excess of 200.
 Such fragn1entary accounts of the disaster as have been obtained from survivors furnish little new informa- tion concerning the circumstances of the sinking. All agree, however, that the Persia sank with extraordinary rapidity, within five minutes of the time she was truck, affording small opportunity for rescue work
 No Submarine Seen.
 None of the survivors who have thus far reported their experiences saw any sign of submarine.
 The extent to which popular feel ing has been aroused in the allied na- tions by the sinking of the Persia is indicated by the unrestrained tone of press comment.
