BY OLIVER &. REMEY, secretar,


Milwaukee, July %. The Wiscon
sin State Fair has shown an increase
of sixty-iye per cent in attendance in
three years.
Why?
During the past three years grounds,
buildings and other equipment have
been added to. and. still more impor
tant. every department has been i'm.
proved. and new departments and fea.
lures have been added, bringing the
great Exposition right up to date.
In 1917 the Wisconsin State Fair
took It's place among the Class A ex-
positions of America, which means
that as a wen balanced, educational
institution it ranked with the best In
America.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1918-08-29

There are other expositions OF
greater magnitude notably the Texas
and Minnesota State Fairs-buG none
IS better balanced or excels in class.
and few are equal from the point of
view of keeping stride with educational
progress.
Because of the improvement during
the past three years in the Wisconsin
State Fair, citizens of Wisconsin are
again giving the great Exposition their
confidence and patronage.
Strong Live Stock Exhibits.
What special features will the Wis
consin State Fair of 1918 offer?
All basic departments of the State
Fair, of which there are thirty-two.
will be as strong as it is possible to
make them.
The cattle, swine and sheep divt.
sions viii not only present mammoth
arrays, but quality will be improved.
This will be especially true of the cat
tie department, for at least three
champion herds never before seen in
Wisconsin will be present this year
The 1917 poultry show was most
highly recommended, yet the 1918
poultry show will far surpass that of
1917.
Premiums offered for live stock and
poultry are: Horses. $t017000: cat
tie S1042A00 sheep, s4,049OO; swine,
S5,2S000 poultry $4S0200
Because Of the great gains made by
motor driven vehicles. horse depart.
ments at all fairs have suffered. This
ought not TO be the case this year for
the future of the horse breeding in
dustry was never brighter. Every eff
fort will be made TO have strong
horse department this year, and there
will be several notable features in this
department
Features Of County Exhibits.
In the department of farm crops and
county exhibits there will be an un.
usual display by several counties A
number OF Wisconsin counties are
noted for live stock. Several of them
are arranging to make live stock ex.
hibits by counties. the exhibits com
peting in the regular classiications
for live stock These exhibits viii be
segregated and advertised for the ben,
eft Of the counties making them.
This department also will present
new exhibits tending to eNemplify up
to-date land clearing and farming
The department OF horticulture and
plants and aowers will not only pre-.
sent greatly augmented exhibits. but
the building occupied by this depart,
ment will be resplendent in floral and
plant decorations provided by florists

Nowhere in America can so much
along educational and inspirational
lines be obtained at so small an out
lay as can be obtained at any Of
Americas worthwhile fairs.

date educational lines, and every de-
partment is fun of inspiration for
those interested.

array of tractors and machinery than

taken before June Is TwentysiN
tractor companies win make exhibits
and also will demonstrate in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the fair grounds.
Scarcity Of labor is a serious prob
lem to producers In Machinery row
will be shown the products of inven-
tive genius and manufacture along
agricultural lines that will take the
place Of the farm hand now doing his
bit on the western front
Every cooperation is given makers
Of machinery in providing displays
that will be worth a journey from any
corner of Wisconsin.
Machinery row will be an exposition
Of all the best machinery that is
available on the Wisconsin market,
and the exhibitors are those not afraid
to show what they have TO offer in
competition with other makers OF ma.

Because Of the war. building appro.

 Wheat, for the last few seasons, has been working under a high sal ary contract and as President E1b bets has made a general salary cut throughout the ranks of his players, he will not make an exception in Wheat's case. Unless Wheat changes his mind before the season begins, he will be barred from playing base ball and will be placed on the sus- pended list by the National commits sion.
 President Ebbets yesterday sent a contract to Napoleon Lajoie with or ders to report to Manager Robinson at Hot Springs.

PATRIOTIC WOMEN
Quickly Respond to Call For Nolun- teers fo Get Out Work For the Government.

Women of New Britain are quick to answer the call of their country for service, | has been proven from time to time. One of the latest in stances is that experienced by the American Hosiery company, wnch has 8 labor contract on gas masks. Nearly 100 women, most of them school teachers, were asked last week to report at the American Hosiery company factory one evening to rip out work done on gas masks. The covers on the cannisters, which are part of the gas mask, did not con form to the government reQuircn1 eHta and it was necessary to change them. The work was quickly done.
 School teachers are not the only ones. Some of the leading families of the city are represented in the list of volunteer workers. The govern ment is in such a hurry for the work that women experienced in sewing, some of them former employees at the hosiery who married, have ra- sponded to the call for workers. Red Cross workers and even men are in cIuded.
 Every night volunteer workers as Hembe at the factory and work until 9 or 10 o'clock, depending upon the needs and other conditions. There are thirty-five or more to be found at the factory every night.
 The work that is being done con sists in the assem- bling of various parts of the gas masks. Local fac tories are turning out some of the parts and other materials required '7 shipped fin from outside the city.

The en- try into the Holy City comes with the Saviour on a donkey the populace waving palms and spreading cloaks in the path and the little children kneeling at the front.
 The agony in the Garden of Gcth- somane and tho rayal of Judas are cast on the screen and the denial by Peter. tho growing of the cock and tho repentance of Peter are told with a vividnegs which holds the audience breathless. The trial before Pilate is shown. The scourging is so realistic that 1t makes one gnsp. Scenes in Jerusa1em include Roman Soldiers in arr1or and with spears and the populace with the costuming of the day. The progress of the con- victed Saviour is represented, the heavy weight of the cross sensed with realistic viv4dness. The supreme moment of ths Chruoifixion, the grue- some and narrowing detail Of the thrust of a spear head In the dying Saviours side by brutal soldierf fol- lows.
