RUNNING AND RELAYS
TO BE BIG FAIR
FEATURES

This early in the game it Is impossi'
BILE to tell just how many running
horses and how many relay races
there will be at this years state fair.
which opens on September % and
closes with the Both.
But judging from the rapidly rising
sport spirit in the west, and by the
tremendous number of harness race
entries, there will be twice as many
of the running race horses as at any
preceding fair.
And that is saying much, for last
year there was an immense showing
in this line of sport. Everybody likes
a running for blood race, and there
is no monkey business" allowed by
the state fair officials.

THE GROWTH OF ADVERTISING

The use made of advertising during
the war has revolutionized the Ideas
of business men on the subject OF
publicity.
Before the Liberty loan drives.
financial authorities said it would be
impossible to raise more than $500
OOo.oOO for government loans through
n popular subscription. But as the
result of a campaign of thorough pub
Lefty the astonishing sum of nearly
7.Uub. .OOO. 900 was raised on one OF
the drives. and $1,000. 100000 to So
200, 900 900 on the others.
Solicitation from house to house
contributed largely TO this result. But
the solicitors could never have done
much without advertising, The solict
tor dfd not rofcen persuade prospect
TO raise his subscription. The work
had been done by advertising.
The 4oan campaigns were helped by
patriotic feeling. But they were great
1y impeded by the unending calls Tor
money and the public WEAKNESS with
urives. People knew they were max
ing n sacrifice when they subscribed.
rs the government paid only Az per
cent interest, while they could buy
bonds on the market paying or
per cent.
Against all obstacles the campaign
OF Liberty loan advertising made its
way, and n turned upside down the
previous notions of business men. 1t
proved that printers ink could ac-
comp1lsh what had seemed Impossible
Business men began to think about
all this. IF the government can get
such amazing results" merchant
would say. why can't l get them in
my business?'' And n lot OF them
revised their ideas about
and started in with great
ly increased appropriations. They
don't regret 1t now. The results ap-
pear in the figures recently quoted,
that Ameican business men
are spending three times as much on
national publicity as they were In
1910. and no doubt similarly In
creased figure ON local advertising.

.HARlING'S IDEA IS
TO lISA3N WORLD
HARVEY WILL SOUND ALLIED
REPRESENTATIVES IN THE
SUPREME COUNCIL.
AN INTERNATIONAL MOVE
United States Seeks "lron-Bound
Agreement" From Powers That
They win Join Move for
Laying Down Arms.

Washington. The United States
will make the first move toward world
disarmament at the sessions of the SUI
preme allied council in London.
This was definitely established, the
information being coincident with the
announcement by President Harding
that this country will be represented
on the council.
Col. George Harvey, the new Amer
lean ambassador to the court of st.
James, will formally approach the rep
resentatives Of the other great powers
on possible limitation of ornaments.
President Harding holds firmly to
the belief that the involved state of
world politics at the present time for
bids his taking personal action toward
disarmament In taking this stand,
however, the president and every mem.
Der of his cabinet agree that redu~.
tion Of ornaments would be the great
est humanitarian venture in history.
The Harding administration may be
said to be solidly in favor Of the idea
but opposed to the United States do
ing anything until it has an iron,
bound agreement from the other
powers that they, too, will lay down
their arms.
However, the president also real.
ICES that the problem never will be
solved unless some power takes the
initiative. He views the meetings OF
the supreme council as the best medi,
UNI for preliminary parleys with the
representatives of Great Britain, Italy
France and Japan The three first
named at least are understood ALREADY
informally to have shown an inclina.
ton to cooperate,
The president made it plain that he
is not even considering suggesting a
disarmament plan for the action OF
congress. His intention is for the
United States continuously to
strengthen its defenses while the SUI
preme council digests the plans for
limitation Of ornaments that will be
submitted to it by Col, Harvey.

Paris,-That the stomach is a su.
perfluous organ is the startling discov-
cry of Dr. Victor Pauchet, reported to
the Academy of Medicine.
Affirming that he had successfully
removed the stomach from a woman
so years old, who had continued to live
happily in perfect health, he reports
that the operation also cured her of
cancer.
The stomach's action is purely pre-
liminary," stated DR.. Pauchet. The
mechanism for the vital part of the
digestion is in the small Intestine, with
the intervention Of the pancreatic
juice and the bile. Therefore, provid-
ing the patient follows a light diet, the
stomach can be dispensed with adyan-
tageously.'
