VARIED SHOW At
72ND STATE FAIR
PROGRAM TO BE HAPPY MING
LING OF FARM AND CITY
FEATURES
FUN AND ENTERTAINMENT
ALONG WITH INSTRUCTION

Since Gov. Epaphroditus Ransom
established in Michigan ~ years ago
the first state fair held west of tie
Allegheny mountains, the citizens Of
this commonwealth have witnessed
annually an exhibition designed to
mirror the industries and activities
of the two peninsulas.
In founding the Michigan State
Fair. Gov. Ransom and the farmer
statesmen associated with him dem.
onstrated a progressiveness and en-
terprise which has been characteristic
of the states whole scheme of public
education.
1t is well to recall at this time that
lie fair was founded by them with
earnest educational ideals; that it
was the first attempt at agricultural
education in the west: and that from
its beginnings sprang also the first
agricultural college in the world-the
Michigan Agricultural College at East
Lansing.
Since those historic days Michigan
has undergone great changes. 1t has
evolved from forest into thousands
of fertile farms, and from the farms
into a magnificently balanced empire
Of agriculture, manufacture and COM
merce.
In our fair this year we shall. there
fore, attempt to show the whole var.
led collection OF Michigan's activities
its farms, its factories, its fisheries,
and it's homes and inhabitants.
We shall show bit OF Detroit, the
wonder city of the nation; we shall
show the motor industry which in the
last decade and half has transform
first aid to motors-Good Roads. We
shall show how health is maintained
In cities, the art and beauty that may
be put In homes. the fineries of urban
civilization. But in so doing we shall
not forget that the fair must devote
Itself conscientiously to encourage
the agricultural interests of the state
and to stimulate them forward to new
efficiency and prosperity.
And thus In our coming seventy
second fair. we shall hope to mingle
in happy proportions a program which
will show the best Of farm life to the
city man and the most modern Of city
conveniences to the man who feeds
the world.
With it all will be fun and enter
tainment, clean in every particular
and of the highest type known to fair
arrangements anywhere
To this pot-pourri of instruction and
industry, health and happiness, fun
and farming, the Michigan State Fair
cordially invites the public of Mich
igan, hoping that the ten days and
nights OF activity will leave behind
them memories Of royal good times
and feeling that something OF real
usefulness has been accomplished.

IS RECORD Bible
Immense Volume Now Nearing
Completion in England.
Book Will Be by Far the Largest VOL
ume That Has Ever Been Con-
structed-Definlte Purpose
N Its Production.

English Bible plans for 1921 center
around the production of the worlds
largest Bible, notes the Portland Ore
gonian.
Months of work have already been
expended upon It, Many weeks more
will be needed for its completion. AL
ready, however, the frame OF the great
book Is in being. Six stout hempen
ropes. much thicker than the ordinary
clotheslne, are its backbone. Four of
these are laced into millboards half an
inch thick ms a foundation for the
leather covering. The back of the
book is sewed with Irvine round the
six stout hempen ropes in the old
fashioned way.
In every sense the biggest Bible Is
intended to be the finest example of
book making that England can pro-
duce.
But why produce the biggest Bible?
The answer to this question was given
by the "Bible Crusade" as follows:
1.-The great Bible is intended to rivet
public attention on the primary I'm
portance Of the Bible as the fountain
and source OF all truth. AS this unique
volume is magnified in size above all
other volumes, so the grandeur of the
Bible ought to be magnified in value
above that of all other books"
A feature of the great Bible Is that
1t will be written entirely by hand.
Not more than three verses of the text
will be written by the same person.
Kings and field marshals will, side by
side with paupers and workmen. tes-
tify their belief in the holy scriptures.
AT the side OF tie piece OF text which
they write all will sign their names to
the following:
"As my testimony that i acknOwl-
edge the Bible-as originally given to
mankind-to be as II Is in truth. the
word of God append my signature"
The biggest Bible. when completed.
will not only be the largest example Of
the word of God, but it will constitute
the worlds completest autograph al
bum, with signatures, it is anticipated.
of most prominent English and for
eign men and women from kings
downward. Ty'elve thousand people
will be needed to complete the text.
Twelve large gostskins have been
used I'm providing a cover for the big
geet Bible.
When standing on end the volume
is more than feet . inches high and
nearly 8 feet inches wide, so that
when it is opened fiat it measures
about Z feet 10 inches across.
The whole volume now lies at the
Oxford University Press. 1t awaits
the advent of Bible year and the gift
by some wealthy crusader of a special
motor car which is needed to take Ii
on its mission i'm England and over
seas. Perhaps the great Bible will
visit America if invited to do so. The
special car which is to be designed for
the great book will contain folding
pulpit and special platform for
exhibiting the text of the biggest Bible
and the signatures.

Keeps Out praushts, Admits Light.

A new arrival among shades is the
celluloid window shade, used to keep
out draughts, says the Popular Science
Monthly. 1t is fastened to a regular
spring shade roller and has the Gus
tomary stick through Its lower end.
You attach 1t to the top Of the win
dow frame just as you would an ordi-
nary shade. Being transparent, 1t does
not obstruct the view. The ends Of
the stick may be fitted In grooves In
the frame to keep the celluloid from
curling.
Now let some one invent shade
that will shut out the light without
shutting out the air. This Is far more
needed, especially In summer time.
