MIDWAY AT STATE FAIR

The Midway of fair is where the
pc0ple play and the Midway of the
1918 Kentucky State Fair, to be held
in Louisville the week of September
Ola, gives promise of being one Of the
most thoroughly delightful amusing
ana diversified pathways of Pleasure"
that State Fair crowds have ever at
tended. Guarantee Of unalloyed enjoy
ment is offered i'll the fact that the
street will be manned on either side
b. the great array of feature shows
touring under the Johnny J. Jones ban
Eer. Every one posted in regard to
Midway attractions is aware of the
faCt that there is no Midway organiza
ion in the country which can boast
fun mediums than the Johnny J. Jones
array, and the pike" of 1918 is, there
fore. certain to be much-sOught sec
ton of the Fair. Here the shows will
present fronts Of dazzling gold and
myriad co1ors, topped by flags and ban
ners and pennants and gay with the
uuipS and quirks of the "barkers" and
the many bands which distinguish the
Jones' efray. From the great wild
animal exhibit which heads the list OF
twenty-five Jones shows to the village
of Lilliputians, who demonstrate their
cleverness by remarkable perform
ances, the Jones shows are supreme In
class and interest. 1t is the Jones poi
icy to include everything any other
Midway lineup can boast and 10 keep
well in the Yan Of the balance of the
purveyors, and by this policy It IS
claimed that visitors to the Mid~ay
this year will be regaled with novelties
and features never witnessed N Mid;
way before.

span as a regiment on parade.
The concert which will be offered
by Thaviu's Band, his vocal stars and
the feature singers of the Louisville
Jubilate Choral Association will be an
elaborate affair. Splendid cooperation
in arranging the attraction has been
given the Fair by Fred o. Neutzel, one
Of Louisville's best-known singers and
music patrons, and the voices to figure
in the Jubilate Chorus will include
such noted singers as Flora Marguerite
Bertelle, Marie Siedfried, Leo Sand
man and Fred o. Neutzel.
The flights of Ruth Law will be two
in number on Sunday, as well as twice
daily on the week days of the Fair.
Miss Law, who has won worldwide
fame by reason of her aerial work, as
well as by the splendid service she has
rendered the United States Govern
ment in enlistment campaigns and Red
Cross crusades, will give what prom.
ises to be the most thrilling exhibition
of her career. She will go after the
altitude record and will attempt to out
do even her own dizzy score in looping

Automobile racing, under the guild
ance Of the international Motor Con-

important a part of every big agricul-
tural fair and exhibition for the devel-
opment of high-speed motors as horse
racing has been in the past to encour-
age the breeding Of high-standard
horses, and the exhibition of motors
for farm and agricultural work at the
various state and county fairs is now
undergoing the same development
which the standardized working
horses underwent 20 years ago to de-
velop the working means for agricul-
ture.

the months of June and July. 1918, has
been in most cases equal to the previous
months, and ii is with regret that we
passed on our orders from Headquarters
that for the present, at least. owing to a
shortage in materials, we would be forced
to be idle. However, they promise us that
it will be for short time only, and urge
upon the workers of the Chapter the i'm
portance Of keeping up their interest in
the good work and to be ready for the
next allotment whenever it may come.
We are sorry not to have had reports from
but one surgical dressings room. for we
understand from outsiders that their work
also is fiOurishing. However. we have moth
ing to report In this line except from BOyds.

THE question to be decided is-shall we
maintain our roads, which cost $25 ,O00,-
900 to build and which would now cost
$50,000000 or more to duplicate, or shall
we allow them to so to pieces, in order

Miss Helen Erickson. Home Demonstra-

her work for last week: Miles travelled.
23S. Canning demonstrations at six girls
club with total attendance of SO. Eight
different products were canned-corn. to-
matoes, string beans. lima beans, beets,
carrots. peaches and plums. 80 quarts in
all. Two club girls. whose mother is sick.
have put up under her direction more than
100 quarts Of fruits and vegetables. and
the season has just begun, The growing
interest in the work is shown by the fact
that she has been given orders for two
steam-pressure Gamers, one open hot-wa-
ter Gamer and four duplex forks. Miss
Erickson spends one day in a week at the
Community Kitchen in Kensington. Last
Friday over twenty ladies were present
and eighty-six quarts of products were
canned. Three driers are loaned by the
kitchen to the housewives for use in their
own homes The value of this work to
the county will be appreciated when we
consider the number of girls who are being
trained in food conservation by the most
modern methods and that their products
are of superior quality with practically
no losses by fermentation.

Let's Make A Hot Finish.

Treasury receipts from sales of War Saw
ings and Thrift Stamps last week reached
the new record of $53,830000. That is
to say, the War Savings Stamps are now
selling themselves. Whether this in
creased popular interest represents simply
the delayed momentum impaired by the
last drive or whether it has been stimu-
lated by the great battle in France, nobody
can say positively. Probably the awaken
ing is due to both causes. At all events,
it is encouraging to see that the people
have not forgotten this obligation, but are
beginning to assume 1t more rapidly.
We do not know what our relative
progress in Maryland has been since the
intensive campaign ceased, but we hope
we have at least kept up with the rest of
the country. So long as our quota remains
unsubscribed, there will be an individual
and public sense OF remissness and dis
satisfaction with ourselves. In its way a
default on this is as much reflection on
the patriotism of the State as a deficit in
men for the army would be.
Let us keep the War Savings Stamp at
the front of our patriotic consciousness
We talk about essentials and nonessentials.
Let us make 1t point to regard these
stamps as essentials. as something which
we cannot possibly do without. no matter
what ordinary comfort or convenience we
may have to eliminate. If we could cut
out for one month things that are not
absolutely essential to life, health and
efficiency, Maryland's quota would be com
pleted. Let us go to it" while the wea Their
is warm and make "a hot finish" so as to
Oct the thing off our minds.
This is good vacation job in summer
when nearly everybody is working instead
of loaling. How much of your summer
earnings are you going to put into Saw
ings Stamps, one of the chief essentials
of the time, and how much are you going
to waste on nOnessentials3 The answer
the waee-earners of the State including
among them the summer wage-earners.
make to this question will decide our Saw
ings Stamps status on October |. II we
want to do so, we can put the business
over by that date. Let's want to.
