In War Work.

Raleigh, N. C.-John Ward, a negro,
of Goldsboro, has thirteen of his eight
cen sons in the Ninth and Tenth Unit

The facts are vouched for by Sheriff
R. Fl. Edwards of Wayne county, of
which Goldsboro is the county seat.
Ward also probably holds the record
for quadruplets, says Sheriff Edwards,
who gives the record thus:
Ward was born April 21, 1855, at
1OldsbOro. He has married three
times and his last wife is now living.
His first wife bore him fifteen children,
four at one time twice, three at one time
twice, one at a time once. His second
wife bore him two at one time twice,
three at one time once and five one at
a time. His present wife has borne
him eight, one at a time. His first
wife lived six years and three weeks
after marriage, his second wife eight
years and six months. The number Of
boys is: By first wife, eight, by second
wife, five, and by third wife, five. OF
those now in the service seven are by
the first wife, five by the second and
one by the present wife. Another son
has served in the cavalry, but is now
living at Wilson, N. @.

The struggle, according to report

The young Salvationist ran to the
wreckage, and after desperate efforts
extricated the broken and bleeding avi-

soldiers, who had been concealed near
by ran up, and noting the condition Of
the aviator, raced off in different di-
rections for a doctor and ambulance.
Young Clifford held the dying airman in
his arms, enabling him to lie back, and
with fast closing eyes gaze at the con-

man to rout, whereupon the English
fighter with a smile relaxed and ex-
pired in the arms of the Salvationist.
Clifford states that for a month he
has not had his shoes off, and that this
is no uncommon occurrence with the
supply drivers. He spent "a hours un-

Fancy Animals TO Compete For
Prizes Of $500 at
the State Fair.
WILL PERFORM EACH NIGHT
Program to Be Given In New
Coliseum Includes Band
Music and Vaudeville.

A horse show.
That was the decision reached by
managers of the Ohio state fair after
they had considered for several days
what kind of entertainment to offer
exposition visitors at night. So steps
were taken to arrange a horse show
that would meet general approval.
Columbus residents, particularly
the so-called fashionable class, in the
past have evinced much interest in
horse shows in the capital city, where
many pretentious affairs of the kind
have been held. The show arranged
for the fair, the last week in August,
has been designed to appeal to city
and country people, at which they
may mingle together with plenty to
entertain them.
Donald r. Acklin, of Perrysburg, a
member of the state board of agri-
culture and an ardent horse show en-
thusiast, will be in charge. He ex-
poets the best of Ohio show horses to
be entered in the various classes.
Only Ohio horses will be admitted in
competition Prizes offered amount to
$3910. Mat Cohen, of Louisville, KY.
will judge saddle horses and ponies,
and Capt. Walter Palmer, of Ottawa,
ILL.,, roadsters, hunters and jumpers.
More than 5000 persons can be
seated in the new Coliseum, in which
the show will be held each night of
the fair. The program will be opened
with a concert by the Seyenty-first
Regiment Band, of New York. There
also will be vaudeville acts, including
performances by the Albertinia
Rascha Company of dancers. These
dancers will come to the fair from the
New York Hippodrome. There are IA
in the company, which will present
various classic dances and a ballet.

ADMISSION FEES AT OHIO
OHIO FAIR ARE SAME

State Fair admission fees have not
been increased.
This denial of rumors that the
prices had been boosted has been is
sued by Ohio Secretary of Agriculture
N. e. Shaw and Fair Manager e. V.
Walborn.
1T is to be win-the-war fair the
last week in August, and these false
rumors about increased admission
fees doubtless came from the same
source of other rumors that have been
directed against patriotic move
ments," Mr.. Shaw said.
The general admission fee for adults
is so cents; for children under II
years, rs cents. Admission to the
grounds after p. m. is 25 cents.
