HON. MAT S. COHEN,
President Kentucky State Fair.

TINE Kentucky State Fair belongs
to the people, is Of the people
and for the people, but credit for
this great achievement, which during
a period of fourteen years has meant
much to the commonwealth at large
and which now bears vital relation to
the welfare OF the state, belongs In
fullest measure to two officials, the
commissioner OF agriculture and the
State Fair secretary.
Upon the shoulders Of these two men
falls the burden of responsibility for
the gigantic undertaking Of summing
up in one festal week the agricultural
and live stock industries, accomplish
ments and achievements Of the entire
state for the year, and both must be
possessor Of abilities beyond the ordi-
nary measure of man.
Commissioner cohen's Fine Record.
Commissioner of Agriculture Mat s.
Cohen steps into the arena of State
Fair accomplishment this year with the
poise and assurance of a prior year
unequaled and universally applauded
success in the handling of his colossal
task and with the pre-eminent satisfac-
ton of knowing that he has succeeded
in adding to the fifteenth annual Ken
lucky State Fair, to be held in Louis
vile the week of Sept. 10, the most re-
markable features ever associated with
a State Fair. Spectacular among his
accomplishments is the securing of the
$4,000 stake for five gated saddle
horses and the unprecedented increase
to 1000 in premiums for county ex-
hibits Both these brilliant feats are
in direct line with the appeal of the
Washington government for a stimula-
ton and increased activity in stock
raising and food production and fol-
lowed his several consultations at
Washington with national bodies in
regard to- keying up the state to its
highest point of output both in food as
well as stock. From these meetings

FIND PLATINUM IN COLORADO
Prospectors Overlook Many Deposits,
However, Because of UnfamiIiarlty
With the Metal.

The metal platinum so much de-
sired in some of the chemical indus
tries and for other purposes at the
present is valued SO highly that there
is much interest in locating new
sources for the production Of this
valuable element. At present there
is undoubtedly shortage in this
country in metallic platinum and its
salts, due to the fact that by far the
largest amount Of the worlds plati-
mum comes from Russia. Only very
small amount of platinum is pro-
duced in this country, and that
comes mainly from the gold and sill
yer bullion refneries, says Metal
lurgical and Chemical Engineering.
A. Lynn de Spain, chief chemist of
the Burnhart laboratories of Denver,
states that platinum is found in the
auriferous sands of the Iron Hill
placer, at Como, Colo. There is nc
doubt whatever that platinum also
occurs in other localities of the state,
as, for instance, in the black sands
of Clear creek. Little or no atten-
ton has been paid to the finding Of
platinum in Colorado, first because
the rich gold finds have completely
obliterated the Importance of the
other rare metals, and secondly, due
to the fact that the average prospec-
tor is unable to recognize the metal
or ores carrying the platinum. 1t is,
therefore, essential that more atten-
ton be given to spread the character
istics of this metal so as to instigate
the search for this metal by the pros
pectors.

FoUNT T. KREMER.
Secretary Kentucky State Fair.

the horse breeding industry of the
state.
In contrast to the country wide scope
| Of the commissioners activities may be
cited the fact that he has likewise
brought the interests of the State Fair
to an intensive point by placing each
county agent on the advisory board of
the Fair and thus securing the person
al, individual and enthusiastic support
of every Kentucky county as a unit.
kremer an Efficient Secretary.
FOntaine T. Kremer, who was elect
ed Kentucky State Fair secretary at
the beginning Of the present year upon
the lamented death of former Secre-
tary w. j. Gooch, while newly vested
with secretarial title and dignities. is
! by no means a novice in secretarial
experience, having been the power be-
hind preceding Kentucky State Fair
secretaries for the past eight years in
the comparatively inconspicuous but
immensely important post of active
manager and director of finances for
the entire vast institution.
To the lay mind the magnitude of
this undertaking is impossible of con-
ception, and only those concerned in
the maelstrom of detail, infnitude OF
demands and urgency Of action surg
ing around the operative forces Of the
Fair can grasp the significance of this
experience. As no man occupies a dis
tinctlve position without training
which has consciously or unconscious
ly fitted him for the duties Of his post,
so Mr. Kremer's entire career has been
one of preparation for the brilliant and
efficient handling OF the task before
him. In his early manhood he saw
long service In important positions
with the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road general offices and with the law
and equity division of the Jefferson
circuit court, thereby absorbing a grasp
Of detail, knowledge of law and famil-
iarity with finance which grounded him
well in knowledge vital to the handling
of the Fair. In fact, ii was this I'M
usual all round ability, demonstrated
year after year to the state board of
agriculture, that prompted Mr.. Kre-
mer's election by the board as secre-
tary TO the Fair. To the agricultural
element his selection was eminently
satisfying from the fact that Mr.. Kre-
mer has been a practical farmer for
the past twelve years, owning and at
present residing upon and actively OPP
Grating at Shively, KY, one OF the pref
test and most prosperous farms In the
state.

DIV Associated Press.N

Lincoln, Neb., April 1S.-Despite the
entrance of the United States into the
world war, President Frank Zehrung
of the Western league who will start
the 1917 pennant race today, predicts
a "ecord breaking season for the
eight clubs of the organization. In
fact, the league president believes the
war will be a great boon to baseball
Zehrung, a theatrical man, bases
his assumptions on the effect of the
war on amusements in Canada.
Il have been following the effect of
the war on the theatre attendance in
Canada" said Zehrung. land l have
found that the people are glad to find
some method of taking their minds off
the horrors of the war. l believe the
effect will be the same with baseball
in this country. There will be many
persons seeking diversions for two or
three hours, so that they can forget
about the worries of the great war.
This is the main reason why l believe
the Western league will enjoy unusual
prosperity this year.
This, however, is not the only rea-
son for expecting a booming business
in the national pastime. AS the result
of a recent special meeting at which
every Rotary club and Commercial
club in the eight cities of the circuit
had representatives, a move was
started to stimulate interest through
out the circuits. All of these boosting
clubs have appointed special baseball
committees to make It their business
to promote baseball interest during
the season. Advance ticket sales in
committees have done successful
work.
Among the changes in the Western
league program this season, the short
ening of the schedule stands out most
prominently. The schedule has been
shortened to 40 games. The season
will close on Labor day. The rookie"
rule was accepted by the magnates
with the hope Of making the game
viewpoint, and also of developing
more new players instead of taking
the cast-offs from the majors. The
rule requires every manager to carry
at least six players who have never
played higher than Class B ball.
The situation of the two stail-end
teams last season is apparently solved.
John Savage has moved his club from
Topeka to Joplin, and reports from
there are optimistic. Frank Isbell has
purchased the Wichita franchise and
is at the helm Of that club. Isbell has
always considered Wichita his home
and his return to that city was
heartily welcomed by its fans.
The managerial change has been
unique in that most of them have been
arrangements rather than complete
overthrows. Jack Coffey. former man
ager of the Denver club, will boss the
Des Moines. Isbell, manager of the
Des Moines team last year, will head
his own club at Wichita. Ed Holley,
former Western Lacquer will manage
the Sioux City club and Jack Dalton,
also product of the Western league,
