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 72 years ago
the first state fair held west of the
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.
It is we'll to recall at this time that
the 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
uuucI SOuc 6iSdt ~ hto
evolved from a forest into thousands
of fertile farms, and from the farms
into 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 Michigans 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 a half has transform
ed the whole state; we shall show the
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 conseientiously to encourage
the agricultural interests of the state
efficiency and prosperity.
And thus In our coming seventy
second fair, we shall hope to mingle
in happy proportions 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 1t all will be fun and enter
tainment, clean in every particular
and of the highest type known to fair
managements 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 q feeling that something Of real
usefulness has been accomplished.

On each side Of the chimney Is a
place for bookcases or built-in seats,
feature which will add greatly to
the economy of furnishing.
The kitchen Is not large. but is COM
plete In every respect, there being
plenty Of light over the sink where
light often fails. The refrigerator is
situated in the pantry. 1t is iced from
the back porch.
The bathroom Is cleverly built l.
shape to fit In with the stairway, CIV
ing plenty of room for all the fixtures.
One of the most desirable features
Of this house is its stucco covering.
Being reinforced on triangular mesh
galvanized steel fabric which will
not rust, the cement plaster will cling
absolutely tight under all circum-
stances, no cracks appearing through
expansion or shrinkage.
A very pleasing effect may be added
by shingling with variegated shingles,
adding a color note which ordinary
roofs often lack. The ends Of the
rafters give 1t bungalow look.

vanized reinforcement. 1t cannot
crack and peel off and the corners are
perfectly solid as the metal Is Tapped
around both ways. Such house could
be tumbled end over end without
cracking.
There Is a clever arrangement Of
vestibule with built-in box seat for
overshoes. and while the living room
Is 16 by 20 In the clear, 1t Is greatly
magnified by the architecture Of the
open stairway.
An extra sink Is provided In the
buffers pantry, aud dish closets are
placed to save steps. The refriger-
ator has an Ice door from the outside.
The back porch Is large enough to be
screened In where a small rocker can
be placed which will be greatly en-
joyed shelling peas. peeling potatoes
and preparing vegetables.
The second floor has four good-sized
bedrooms all beautifully light and airy.

A well-kept diary Is the most inter-
esting and valuable volume in its
owners library. For the farmer, the
diary will preserve record of farm
happenings and personal experiences
which will be valuable in the future
conduct of his business. If, when he
finds his alfalfa field swarmins with
grasshoppers, he can look back in his
diary to a summer ten years before
and find the pOison-bait formula that
controlled the insect then, he will
save much valuable time. He may
wish to know the exact location of
tile drain that was laid down when
he was yOungster. If the event was
noted in his own, or his fathers diary,
a ten-minute perusal will give him
more definite information than days
digging with a spade. There are
dozens of farm problems encountered
every year that might be solved more

This is one Of the most popular
houses, within the means of the aver
age family. 1t has all Of the modern
conveniences and style and regardless
of the neighborhood In which 1t is
built, It will always hold its own In

With a slight expense, the front
porch could be glazed and add greatly
to the commodiousness Of the living
room, and another feature which could
well be added without additional ex-
pense, would be to extend the front
windows to the floor, french style, and
have them open onto this glazed porch.

Is somewhat conventional, yet it has

JOHN ]. SWEENEY
 RETURNS ID CITY

Presenting the strongest argument against the report that he was not returning to Phoenix. John J. Sween- ey arrived in the city yesterday. Ac- companied by Mrs. Sweeney. he i'm mediately sought an apartment with view of making his permanent home here.
 Connected with the National Bank of Arizona for more than a quarter of a century, MT. Sweeney resigned as cashier last spring and went to the coast. It was common reported he was to reside in California
 Absurd" declared Ms Sweeney on his arrival in the only place he could possibly call home, according to his own statement. T had no intention of taking up my residence elsewhere than in Phoenix. I have all my in- terests here. besides the natural de- sire of wanting to be in a place su- perior to any other in the way of climate, business and associates"
 Since leaving here MT. Sweeney. with his wife, has made an extended tour of the east as well as visiting many points in Canada. The last two months have been spent in San Fran cisco, where MT. Sweeney's daughter, Mrs. Jack Rice, and son, Paul Sween- ev are located.
