Free Fair Notes

The crowd at the Free Fair grounds
this morning was the largest of the
| three Fair days. Cars and pedestrians
gave the special police on the grounds
considerable trouble. The buildings
and tents showing exhibits were do
ing a 1and-office business.
The Red Cross building reported
1000 children weighed Tuesday. 800
in the morning and the rest in the
afternoon. The National Child Health
association has provided a system of
health grading. and every child be-
| tween the infant and high school age
can have his or her case diagnosed at
the Red Cross building. Red Crosses
| are tagged on the children after their
| examinations. showing their weight
and what they ought to weigh, their
height and what their height should
be, and also outlining what they
should eat, how much they should
sleep, and the daily habits they should
| have. Topeka mothers are invited to
| for examinations
Three Red Cross nurses are on
duty at the building all the time, and
instructions in caring for the sick also
are given to anyone wishing to know.
A paraffln dummy has a permanent
berth in a bed at the building, and the
nurses show how to change the bed
/ linen with the patient in bed. They
also give instructions in numerous
things to be done in the sick room.
The building is one of the most popu-
lar places on the grounds.
The tent occupied by the Road Sup
ply and Metal company is a busy
place. Two gasoline pumps are work
ing continually pumping water into
tubs. and a baby Indiana tractor is
kept going around a circular track.
Road drags and huge pipes also are
are on display, one of which is kept
running. The tent has a good crowd.
Seery & Morton, representing the
international Harvester company, had
a good crowd around a huge McCor-
mick Observation-Disclosures
The Beatrice Creamery company
has two silos erected near their build
ing, one small and one medium size.
The fine arts building is catering to
a large transient crowd. Voiland-
Engle, Edison company, Crosby Broth
ers and other Topeka firms all have
booths and are doing a good business.
At the entrance to the building, a
booth operated by the Evans Art COM
pany, of Racine, Wis, is attracting
considerable attention. They are
demonstrating ana Sell1nS the new
Chenille embroidery needle, and the
women and a few men were packed
around the booth this morning.
The government displays in Govern
ment hall show a lot of work. Rene
dies for gophers, rodents and other
farm pests are displayed. A soft drink
stand in the center of the building is
doing a big business to the thirsty
farmers.
The United States Marine Corps has
installed an office on the fair grounds
with Sergeant William Kosher in
charge. Ten men were listed as pros
poets, between the ages of Is and 81.
Some of them have to get their par
ents' consent. Sergeant Hoshier re-
quests that all young men interested
in the Marines see him at the Marine
tent, near the army encampment, at
the snn1fhaa ST corner of the grounds.

The Trip Around the Lake.

Saturday, October the Both, ten
boys under the leadership of Mr.. Mer-
rill and Mr.. Lee, met at the school
house at o'clock so as to go on a
hike around the lake. On account of
some misunderstanding of plans the
party did not get started until 1896.
The party started into the woods
at the mouth of the May brook and
going up over the ledges, they cross
ed hill and dale until they arrived at
the head of the lake where they ate
dinner around camp fire, staying
three-quarters of an hour.
After having dinner they crossed
the fields at the head of the lake ana
came out near Mr.. Libby's farm,
where they followed the road toward
Barton until they came to the rail
road crossing near Mr.. Hemming's.
There the party started walking on
the railroad track and arrived at Bar
ton at 1.30, the correct travelling time
being two hours and Is minutes.
After arriving at Barton the party
proceeded to the tennis court where
they practiced basket ball just to show
that they were not tired.

Crow is Both Friend and
Nuisance to Farmers

That the crows character is not so
black as it is usually painted is dis
closed by Investigations made by the
Bureau of Biological Survey of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. In fact the department 4bird-
men" say that much of the work the
crow does is of direct assistance to
the farmer, for mister Grow" wages
warfare all summer long on insect
pests. In fact, insects supply about
one-fifth of its food, and those which
he prefers in his diet are the worst
pests the farmers have to contend with
-grasshoppers, caterpillars, and
white grubs and their parents, May
beetles.
On the other hand, the crow raids
the cornield and the poultry yards,
and kills small wild birds and des-
troys their nests. From the evidnce
at hand the crows merits and short
connings appear about equally divided.
While it would not be well to give it
absolute protection and thus afford the
farmer no recourse when the bird is
doing damage, the Bureau of Biologi-
cal Survey believes that to adopt the
policy of killing every crow that
comes within gunshot would be equal
ly unwise.

dam at Stevens Mills, which is 1876

LEARN THIS BY HEART

In the shade of the old apple tree
Where the snow and the rain blow so
free,
Is no place to store
The binder and mower
And implements there that you see;
For the rust and the rot you'll agree,
Are worse than hard usage would be,
And the paint that they wore
Is a shade, nothing more
Just the shade of the old apple tree.
