Spent at Rate Of d Dollar Minute, n
Would Take 1873 Years to Dis
pose Of It All.

Americas war loan Of $1,000 0000000
surpasses the powers Of the mind I'd
grasp Thomas +. Logan writes IN Les
lies. Spent at the rate Of 81 a minute
it would take 1898 years to dispose Of
the appropriation Loaned out al 6per
cent, Sl3 could be spent every second
for an indefinite period without touch
ing the principal.
Converted into silver dollars, the
coined pieces laid end to end wolld
reach more than four times around the
earth at the equator Piled on top OF
one another, these silver dollars would
extend nearly 600 miles in the air.
Made into dollar bills, they would
cover 2G,6S6 acres.
The interest on the loDn is greater
than the entire running expenses af
the government less than half a CEN
fury ago, while the amount itself would
conduct the affairs of the government
for fully seven years. on the basis Of
The annual expenditures Of the last
decade.
Another and more cheerful way Of
looking at the situation is that great
as the loan Is. the wealth Of the United
states IS such that It amounts TO Tire
lending out Of 81 ont Of every $40 Of
our existing tangible resources. A
penny a dev saved by every inlahitant
would cancel the principal within 20
years.

WAR SPECTACLE Is PROCCRED
FOR FAIR.

Advance notices Of "T'he War Of
Nations" to be shown at the State
Fair Of Texas, Oct 3 to 28, proclaim
this the greatest pyrotechnical display
ever created and one which may es-
tablish a standard for years to come
MANY thousands OF dollars have
been spent in building the settings for
this gigantic fireworks display" X +.
J. Knight, president Of the State Fair,
said Patrons Of the 1917 fair will
witness spectacle as beautiful as it il
extraordinary
No thought IS more uppermost IN
the minds Of the American people to-
day than the terrible struggle across
the sea- and the entrance Of the
United States into the conflict brings
us to Il realization that our sons and
loved ones may soon be in the very
thick Of the fighting With this in
mind the creators Of "The Waf or Ma
tions" has tried to bring to US in
America a portrayal Of the spectacu-
lar side Of the combat
"By the immense crowds which at
tended last year it was clearly demon
strated that patrons Of the fair are
highly in favor Of high-cla fire
works Recognizing this, we adopted
the time-honored principle Of the fair
management of looking only for the
best to be procured and in The War
Of Nations" it is our Judgment that
we have selected the greatest display
of the kind that has ever been Of
fered'
Interest in Encampments
In addition to the nightly display Of
fireworks a program Of events has
been arranged to be given before the
grand stand each afternoon and night
during the fair Feature acts from
some OF the largest theatres Of the
world and circus numbers that have
pleased millions Of people have been
procured to make up program Of

Recognizing the Importance Of tho
safety first movement, the State Fair
of Texas has designated Monday. Oct

position and special observance Of the

large number Of the members of this
organization will be on hand for the

President R. f. L. knight has also
announced that Friday, Oct ls, will
be set aside as Mothers Congress day
at tie 1917 fair In conference With
officers Of the congress, President
knight was told that there would be a
large attendance and that the meeting
Of the congress would be made one Of
the features Of the fair
Secretary W, H. Stratton announced
that plans have been completed for
remodeling the dairy barns where the
dairy cattle are exhibited and where
the dairy demonstrations are held The
entrance to the building will be rebuilt
to make the front much more attrac-
tive and the interior win be rear
ranged and improved, giving wider
aises and other eo6veniences, lack Of
which has heretofore proved somewhat
Of handicap
Interest in County Exhibits
Particular interest is being shown
this year in the county exhibits and
correspondence on file in the secre
tary's office indicates that a greater
number of counties will exhibit than
ever before Bountiful crops through
out practically every section of the
State have given almost every county
wonderful products to display and
large numbers Of counties are taking
advantage of these opportunities.
This, coupled with the fact that free
exhibit space is offered in com
modious, we'll lighted and well-venti-
lated building, will undoubtedly make
the county exhibit of great value, ac-
cording to Secretary Stratton. One
section of West Texas has signed
up for more than twenty counties and
others are expected to enter
President Knight is particularly en-
thusastic about the amusement pro
gram which has been arranged for the
1917 fair
We are looking forward to enter
tanning between l25O,000 and l,5O0,-
600 people at the 1917 fair President
Knight said, "and we want to be pre-
pared to satisfy perfectly all of these
folks Last year, it will be remem-
bered, the attendance at the State
Fair was a little over a million With
the bountiful crops Of the present sea
son and these crops bringing higher
prices than was ever before known,
there is going to be period of great
prosperity throughout Texas. The
people are going to have more money
than ever before and they are going
to have good time on part of the
surplus This means, 10 my mind,
that they are going to flock to the
State Fair in numbers such as have
never before been dreamed Of and that
attendance records Of the past will be
smashed to smithereens.

Nitro.stareh New Explosive.

Nltro-starch, more compact than the
allied nitro-cellulose or gun cotton,
seems to promise great efficiency as
blasting explosive. The original dyna-
mite of Nobel was nitroglycerin alb
sorbed in kieselguhr, a siliceous infu-
sorial earth but sawdust, mica and
other absorbents have been since used
and blasting gelatin and gelatin dy-
nantes have been formed as ielly-like
masses By dissolving gun cotton In MI
troglycern. Nitro-starch is produced
by dissolvng starch nitric acid In
a manner similar to the use of cotton
and glycerin. Ease and cheapness Of
manufacture, convenience and safety
in use and great explosive power are
mentioned in Its favor, and the adj
vantages include non-liability to go
off except when exploded by a cap,
giving off no bad fumes, non-freeziug
quality, and a stability so great that
no change was seen after ten months
of storage.

Demonstration at
Local Drug Store
is Coming Soon
Wentworth, the Famous
Family Tonic Will Make
Its Bow to Richmond.

Mr.. Albert Gels, chief demonstration
for this superlative remedy is about to
begin a campaign in its behalf in one
OF our city drug stores. The choice
will be announced later.
Wentworth is family tonic OF the
very highest order 1t does good and
good only for the victim OF nervous
Ills. Composed Of vegetable ingred-
tents and containing not a trace of
opiates. coal-tar products, narcotics or
habit-forming drugs 1t confers rich
benefits upon the system and leaves
not an i'll result behind. 1t is truly a
family tonic, blessing equally the
weak, nervous, excitable child, the
worn-out veteran and men and women
of all ages Thousands have been
made over by Nerv-Worth, which goes
straight to the seat Of nervous ills and
overcomes them at their source.
When the Wentworth demonstra-
ton opens in this city the victims OF
nervous disorders will find 1t vastly to
their advantage to visit the store
where 1t is being held. Sample doses,
illuminating advertising matter and
full explanations by Demonstrators
Gels, who has sold thousands of bottles
of Worth, carried forward many
successful introductions and whose
Wentworth experience Is rich and
ripe. Watch for the announcement
