traffic win be permitted on the main
streets of the fair grounds. The
only exception will be permits to
trucks and conveyances delivering
perishables or engaged in emergency
lerrands.
| The fair management has expend-
| ed considerable sum for the de-
Ivelopment of adequate parking fa-
cilities east Of the main grounds
and it is intended that this area will
be utilized completely. In recent
years, the roadways originally laid
out for vehicular traffic have be-
come clogged and crowded with
pedestrians until last year an auto
mobile traversing these roads jeo-
pardized the lives of thousands of
people who were using these av-
enues to get from one section of the
grounds to another.
Director Truax is engaged now in
developing traffic system that
will be placed in operation this
year. This will minimize, it is ex-
Ipected, automobile congestion and
operate to the advantage of the
hundreds of thousands of fair pat
rons who traverse every corner
of the grounds on foot.

Pure Bred Ram Special

The purebred ram special train
making a tour of the state, was in
Stockport last Thursday, when
about 20 persons visited it, and the
next day it was at Malta where
about 200 looked the sheep over.
The Morgan County Sheep and Wool
Growers association donated two
thoroughbred Delaine ewes to be
given away. Each person upon reg
istering at the train was given a
card containing a number, and as
the train departed number was
drawn, and the person drawing a
certain number drew a sheep. AT
Stockport, John Benjamin had the
lucky number, and at Malta, Ray
Smith. The latter's eve was from
the J. E. Richardson flock.

Columbus, Onio.-More than 5000
head of the finest specimens of
horses, swine, cattle and sheep tC
be found in Ohio and scattered Sec
tions of the United States will be
on display at the Ohio State Fair
August so to September 4. If pres
ent indications do not go entirely
awry there will be a considerably
larger number of these animals on
exhibition here then than at any
other State Fair.
The increasing interest in live
stock departments at the big eX-
position is largely due to a boosted
premium distribution with the
availability to exhibitors Of the very
latest and finest of exhibit barns
and equipment,
When the immense cattle eXhibi-
tion building was completed TWO
years ago, it was believed that the
struc ere would house adequataIy
the annually growing entry list for
some time to come. But, in 1925,
the capacity of the structure was
taxed when nearly 1900 animals
were accommodated. By reason OF
the increased money offerings in
the cattle department for 1926, it
is confidently predicted that the
entries will mount until a new mark
is established.
For several years the sheep show
has been acknowledged the largest
and most representative Of any in
the world. In 1923. over 2000 ami
mais were exhibited in this depart
ment; 1924, close to 240O and last
year almost 100 more entries were
recorded in the single classes alone.
The sheep show at the fair is the
largest in the world in spite of the
fact that the management limits
the entries to two animals in each
class by each exhibitor.
Two immense structures are used
to accommodate the swine entries.
Arrangements are being made this
year to provide space for an in
creased number Of animals. Where
close TO 1900 swine were shown last
year, it is believed that the 1926
exhibit will be we'll above this
mark.

COLUMBUS, OHIO-Because Dr.
rector of Agriculture Truax placed
at the disposal of harness horse
owners and trainers the facilities at
the State Fair grounds when the
Grand Circuit Racing plant here
was closed several months ago, the
entry list for the speed pOgram at
the State Fair, August 80 to Sep
tember 4, is larger than in several
years.
As a result of the interest," shown
in horsemen by the Department OF
Agriculture, unusual activity in the
speed barns and on the tracks at
the Fair grounds has been in evi.
dence during the spring and sum-
mer months and scores of owners
and trainers will campaign here
during Fair week.
The Board of Agriculture has
just completed the erection OF four
new speed barns and the addition
of equipment necessitated by the
increased population of trotters and
PAGERS. A total Of $19,400 will be
distributed during the five-day rae
ing meet
In the early closing events, .
total of 168 entries were qualified.

Keeps Travis Right At 1t

Saturday Capt. Irven Travis,
foreman of the government works
here, received notice that the gov
ernment had appointed him for an
other two year period. This makes
the fourth two year period he has
been appointed to, since reaching
the retirement age. Since May, Mr.
Travis has been in his 40th year,
in his present position here. Ten
years is the positive limit such a
government employe can serve be-
yond the retirement period. Well
wager that when Mr.. Travis ends
that period, the government will be
sorry that it can't stretch the limit.

Oldtime Cannibal Chief
Purchases American Radio

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Jan. 10
Charlie Arawangi, of Suva, oldtime
cannibal chief and the life of many
a Fiji feast, is to get his entertain
ment here after by tuning in on
Denver and hurdling the static be-
tween Suva and Los Angeles.
The old chief, now 80 summers or
more, is having a radio set shipped
to him on the steamer Ventura, now
on it's way to Suva. Some time ago
q European planter showed him how
to make two cocanuts grow where
but one had grown before, and the
discovery made Charlie prosperous.
Reports reaching here said that he
bought a motor car and hired
beach comber to drive it for him.
Reaching out for some more civiliza-
tion he ordered the radio, which
promises to be the finest thing of
it's kind in the South Sea country.
Charlie freely admits, sea faring
men say, that in the old days he
stalked the mangroves and the man
go trees in search of those particu-
lar luncheon items relished only by
cannibals.
