Five Counties Provide Displays
for Big Annual Show.
EIGHT Topeka CHURCHES IN
Local Offerings Unique and
Attract Many Visitors.
Exhibitors Plan To Arouse In
terest in School Work.

The State Sunday School exhibition
at the fair is located in its own build
ing, midway between Exposition hall
and the Fine Arts building. H. w.
Bomgartner of Topeka. president of
the Shawnee county Sunday school
association, is in charge.
Four Kansas counties besides Shaw
nee have contributed this year, there
being displays from Oskaloosa, Jeffer-
son county; Scottsville, Mitchell coun-
ty; Alma, Wabaunsee county, and
Mankato, Jewell county. Shawnee
county is represented by exhibits from
Topeka churches, and by an exhibit
from Dover.
The Sunday schools of the various
Protestant churches and in the Kansas
Sunday school association are grad
ed just like secular graded schools,
and the pupils graduate from each de-
partment or grade and are transferred
to the higher in a manner similar to
that employed in the secular schools.
In order to impress on the young
minds the lessons taught, to encourage
attendance, and to give incentive for
study, the scholars are encouraged to
collect or draw pictures and to write
essays concerning matter in the les
son. Examples of this work make up
the state fair Sunday school exhibit.
Prizes are given at the fair for the
best work of individuals, of classes
and of schools. A piece of work that
Immediately attracts ones attention
when entering the building is a col
ored map of Jefferson county, about
four feet by six feet, painted on muslin
by Miss Utz of Valley Falls, which
gives the location of every Protestant
church and Sunday school in the
county.
Topeka churches are quite well rep
resented; full exhibits are contributed
by the First Methodist, Lowman Hill
Methodist, First Baptist and the West
minister Presbyterian churches, while
partial exhibits have been sent by the
United Presbyterian, Central Congre-
gational and Central Park Christian
churches

WEEKS WEATHER HERE
Ground Beginning To Get Hard and

No measurable rain fell in Kansas

counties. which received good showers

season. but not unusually so, as none
Of 100 degrees were reported.
The ground is beginning to get very
hard and dry in all parts, especially
in the central and western counties,
which have not had a soaking rain for
several weeks. Corn continues to de-
teriorate, except in the northeastern
counties, which had rain the closing
week of August. and the extreme
northwestern counties. In the south
eastern and south-central counties it
has nearly all matured and is fast dry
ing up. From rs to SO per cent of the
cutting for fodder and ensilage has
been finished in the eastern half, ex-
cept the northern tier of counties.
In some central counties, where the
condition of the crop is especially
poor, nearly all the cutting is finished.
Grain sorghums are doing well and
ripening fast in the southern half of
the state. Pulling broom corn has be-
gun in localities in the southwestern
counties and will be general in another
week.
From rs to so per cent OF the
ground has been plowed or dlsked Tor
wheat sowing and in some places as
high as rs per cent is done, but this
work has been accomplished under
difficulties on account of the ground
being SO hard. In the central and
many western counties the farmers
have been disking where otherwise
they would have plowed the ground
had it not been so hard and this is not
considered a good thing to do. Seed
ing wheat is progressing in small
way in the northwestern counties and
in another week or two will begin in
many other parts, especially IL good
rains should fall. In the west-central
and southwestern counties it will like
ly be delayed until grasshoppers have
let up in their ravages. The south
eastern counties generally report that
seeding will not begin until after Octo-
ber 1.
Pastures are poor. but generally
maintaining stock. Alfalfa is making
slow growth in most parts.

You viii Never Be Cured by
Local Treatment With Sprays.

Catarrh is a condition of the blood
and can not be cured by local applica-
tions OF sprays and douches; this has
been proven by the thousands who
have vainly resorted to this method Of
treatment.
Catarrh should not be neglected or
experimental with. The wrong treat
ment is valuable time lost, during
which the disease is getting a firmer
hold upon its victim. and making 1t
more difficult for even the proper
treatment to accomplish results.
