The Colorado State Fair is in no

Exery taxpayer. every citizen is
part owner In the state fair each per
son who says or does something for
the good OF the fair. does IT for him
self-his own individual interest.
Las years was the first fair that was
really under complete state control
and ownership. and the increased In

TAKES A WHOLE YEAR
TO MAKE STATE FAIR
HOST OF PEOPLE SPEND THEIR
ENTIRE TIME GETTING
READY.

1t takes a whole year to make q
state fair.
In fact, 1t takes number of whole
years to make "a state fair.
Before the gates closed on the 1919
state fair, the Officers of the Colorado
State Fair Commlssion-Messrs To
bin, Bogart and Walter, and Manager
]. L. Beaman, were planning and work
ing for the fair which will open on
September 19, 1920.
Every day since that time they have
been working and planning to make
this years fair so much better than
last years big success that there win
be no comparison.
Every day from this on until the ex.
hibits are in place on the morning OF
September 10, they will continue TO
work little harder each day.
Then they will devote their time to
making every exhibitor and every Wis
itor glad that he or she came to the
fair.
Not only the officials named work
all the time for the fairs success, but
their many employees are doing the
same, and not they alone, but livestock
breeders, and manufacturers, artists
agriculturalists, horticulturists and en-
tertainers are working all the time fol
the 1920 Colorado State Fair.
For years and years and years the
work OF building up a creditable Colo
RADIO State Fair has been in progress
and now that It is distinctly and alb
solutely IA state institution, all the
people are working for Its unboundeo
success.

GREATEST SWINE EXHIBIT
EVER SEEN WEST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI.

Since hog is coin, the state fair Of
f1cials have offered such Inducements,
such elaborate facilities for displays,
such superb and numerous prizes In
the swine department, that the show
ing last year was a marvel TO all Wis
ltors.
But this year the showing will be
20 much greater as to amaze even the
breeders themselves.
The early entries show all ages and
classes of Poland Chinas, Durocs,
Chester Whites, Hampshire, Berk'
shires and other varieties, and the en-
tries are from all sections of the state
and from state institutions, from as
sociations and individuals.
Not alone are the state fair prizes
large and varied, but the various swine
associations of the country are offer
ing immense and varied premiums.
Some of the associations are offering
cash prizes running from $500 to
1920.
Especial preparations have been
made for the housing OF the displays
and for the caring for them in the
most perfect manner One OF the very
Interesting features in the swine de
partment will be the competitions for
Boys and Girls pig clubs. This was
carried out most successfully last year,
and will be greatly improved this year

Choose the Beautiful Way.

Thrice blessed are they who are
pleasant to live with. They are a
blessing to themselves, TO those with
whom they live. and to the world at
large. Along this line thoughtful
writer has said most truly: There
is a beautiful and an ugly way In
which to say almost everything. and
happiness depends on which way we
take You can upset person for a
whole day by the harsh way In which
you may call him in the morning, or
you may give him beautiful start by
the cheeriness of your greeting. So
not only in the words, but In all the
little common courtesies and duties OF
life, think OF the beautiful way of do
ing each"

ALL BOW TO SUPERSTITION
At Least, Few Of the Fair Sex Have
Not q Firm Belief in Marriage
Charms.

In the great Cave OF the Winds, in
Colorado, place visited each year
by scores OF tourists, in one corner
the visitor is always impressed by
curious thing that looks like a mat
tress and that turns out, on closer
acquaintance, to be an immense pile
OF hairpins, combs, barettes and hair
ornaments
1t seems that there is superstition
afoot that every widow and unmarried
woman who leaves a hairpin or hair
ornament there will be married within
the year and, though most Of the

story and look very lncredulous, not n
few surreptitiously shake out an in

Sea Water for Salt.

The use OF salt for seasoning and
preserving food is 50 ancient that the
earliest written records refer to It.
For many centuries practically all the
salt used by the human race was pro-
cured by the evaporation Of sea water.
This method Of obtaining salt is still
employed In many localities where the
conditions are favorable. A fiat
stretch Of sea coast and u hot and dry
climate are necessary II salt Is to be
gotten from sea water. An ideal To-
cality for this industry is the coast
on the Bay OF Cadiz, Spain. The sea
water Is allowed to collect In shallow
basins. As the water eyapOrates the
various salts crystalline out and form
a crust. The edible, salt crystallizes
out first and : drained from the other
salts, which are gathered IN large
piles where the occasional rains and
the sun help to wash and dry out the
Impurities. considerable part of
the crude salt IS used locally for cur
ing and picking and the remainder is
shipped to reineries.
