chinery Row Taken Before
June Is - Demonstrations
Planned.

Milwaukee, July 29-No State Fair
or Exposition this year can lay claim
to approval, unless it presents the
strongest possible array of farm ma
chinery and tractors.
That the Wisconsin State Fair will
be strong in these two departments is
shown by the fact that every inch of
space in it's Farm Machinery and Trac-
tor sections was taken by June Is, and
on July 1 there were twenty-eight ma.
chinery and tractor companies on the

This year twenty-six tractor compa-

SAMARITAN RACE NEAR END
War May Wipe Out Remnant Of An
cent Tribe in the
Holy Land.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-The last remnant of
the ancient Samaritan race may be
wiped out of existence, according to
e. K. Warren, president of the Inter-
national Sunday. School association.
Mr.. Warren, in his Sunday school la
bors in the Holy Land, found the lit
tie band of people whose ancestors
made up the great northern division of
the kingdom of the Jews. There were
1872 persons in the group, and he has
not heard word from them in 10
months. Mr.. Warren said the race
dwindled down because it would not
intermarry. Two-thirds of the group
were men and of these "a were draft
ed by the Turkish government for mil
itary service.

LOSE LIVES IN STORM
Sixteen Persons in Lifeboat
From Carolina Drowned.
British Vessel Picks Up Nineteen 9th
er Survivors of the Sunken
Steamer.

Lewes, Del, June 5.-A narrowing
tale of the sea was brought here by
nineteen survivors, passengers and
crew, of the teamer Carolina, sunk
by German submarines. Sixteen of
their number were lost and a girl
saved from the ocean during a severe
thunder storm Sunday night.
Ten boats left the Carolina before
she was sunk by the German subma-
rine U-37, all passed through the same
storm and the survivors here said they
had felt sure were lost. They express
ed great joy when informed that most
of the Cardinals company had been
saved
The 10 persons landed here were
brought in by a British vessel. They
were taken in charge by the naval au-
thorities and cared for at the station
statements to naval officers. None of
them had any knowledge that the sub
marine had shelled the lifeboats.
The survivors left later for New
York. One of their number was de-
tanned. He is a German member of the
crew and will be held pending an
investigation
According to the survivors the Caro-
lima was warned late Sunday after
noon by wireless to look out for sub
marines. The steamer was cautioned
not to show lights. At o'clock SUM-
day night submarine appeared above
the surface close to the Carolina. She
was about $50 feet long, survivors
said, and later was identified as the
U-37.

APPEAL FOR THRIFT
President Asks Citizens to Buy
Only Essentials.
SYSTEMATIC SAVING URGED
People Requested to Pledge by June
% to Invest In War Savings and
Thrift Stamps, or Other Government
Securities.

Washington, D. C.-To save mate
rails and labor for necessary war pur-
poses, President Wilson appealed to
Americans ITO buy only those things
which are essential to the individual
health and efficiency" and to volun-
teer on or before June %, National
Thrift day, to invest Systematically in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, or
other government securities.
"This war is one of nations-not of
armies" said the president, "and all
of our 1O0,000,000 people must be
economically and industrially adjusted
to war conditions if this nation is to
play its full part in the conflict.
Pledge Is Sought.
"The problem before us is not pri-
marily financial problem, but rather
problem of increased production of
war essentials and the saving of the
materials and the labor necessary for
the support and equipment of our
army and navy. Thoughtless expendi-
ture of money for nonessentials uses
up the labor of men, the products of
the fariH mines, and factories, and
overburdens transportation, all of
which must be used to the utmost and
at their best for war purposes.
THE great results which we seek
can be obtained only by the participa-
ton of young and old in q national
thrift movement. I therefore urge
that our people everywhere pledge
themselves, as suggested by the secre-
tary Of the treasury, to the practice of
thrift; to serve the government to
their utmost in increasing production
in all fields necessary to the winning
Of the war; to conserve food and fuel
and useful materials of every kind to
devote their labor only to the most
necessary tasks, and to buy only those
things which are essential to individ-
ual health and efficiency.
"Buy More U. S. Securities"
"The securities issued by the treas
ury department areSso many of them,
within the reach of every one that the
oOoA " OppOl IuhiLy LII lAlo IllIlCl 10
wide open to all of us.
II appeal to all who now own either
Liberty bonds or War Saving stamps
to continue to practice economy and
thrift and to appeal to all who do not
own government securities to do like
wise and purchase them to the extent
of their means. The man who buys
government securities transfers the
purchasing power of his money to the
United States government until after
this wars and to that same degree does
not buy in competition with the gov
eminent.
II earnestly appeal to every man,
woman and child to pledge themselves
on or before June % to save constant
ly and to buy as regularly as possible
the securities of the government
''The 2Sth of June ends this special
period of enlistment in the great vol
unteer army of production and saving
here at home. May there be none I'M
enlisted on that day."

Born in Log Cabin.
The distinction of birth in a log
cabin, which illustrious Americans of
an earlier day commonly had, was
also that of former Vice President

the last of American statesmen to
have been born in one of these hum
BILE cabins.
Fairbanks, at Is, entered Ohio Yves
leyan college at Delaware, Ohio, shar-
ing an attic room with the son of an
other farmer, and the two cooked their
own meals. Fairbanks did carpenter
work to earn his first law books.
In 1874 he married Miss Cornelia
Cole, the elimination of romance
that began when both were members
of the editorial staff of their college
paper To them were, born five child
rem, one daughter and four sons.
In January, 1897, Mr. Fairbanks was
elected to the United States Senate.
He took his seat on March 4, the day
on which Mckinley became President
He became a close adviser of the Pres
ident in the trying times before and
during the Spanish-American war.

tory for freedom secure The free
peoples and their magnificent SOL
diers will save civilization.
