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 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
$391O. 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 concert by the Seventy-frst
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 ballet.

AD MISSION 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.
ut is to be win-the-war fair the

years, 25 cents. Admission to the
grounds after p. M is 20 cents.

Our slaughterable animals at the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year were not
appreciably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly in hogs; they

half Of the fiscal year, when the ex-
ports to the Allies were 2,13S, 100000

DUR SAVED FOOD

Food Administrator Writes Presi-
dent America Conserved 14l-

Meat and Fat Shipments Increased by

Conservation measures applied by
the American people enabled the Unit
ed States to ship to the Allied peoples
and to our own forces overseas ILL.,
100000 bushels of wheat and S44, ,6Oo,'
600 pounds Of meat during the past
year, valued in all at S1,400,0O0, 600.
This was accomplished in the face Of
serious food shortage in this country,
bespealeing the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrators Hoover, in let
ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up Of the millions Of bushels Of wheat
during 1e17-1s and the shipment of
meat during 1917-1s.
The total value Of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations amounted
to S1,40o, 900, 900, all this food being
bought through or in collaboratio
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 80, 1918.
The shipments Of meats and fats

SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Aug. 6.-The first big
supply of western grass cattle of the
season was here today and in no for
mer year did quality run to such ex-
tremes. Run was estimated at 1000,
or an increase of 1900 over the same
day last week and a gain of $500
over the corresponding day a year
ago. Trading on killing grades
showed a slow weak undertone right
from the outset and while specialties,
such as strong weight steers and
something fancy in cows and heifers
as well as the upper classes of feed
ers held steady, the general drift to
prices was lower.
No great change developed in the
hog trade. Run was light with ex-
tremes of quality represented. Range
and bulk were about the same. SIS

Outlet for the small run OF sheep
was quoted as steady. Outside een-
ters showed fair supplies with mar
