Nearly $4,000 in Prize
Money is Set Aside For
Exhibits at State Fair,
September 1 to s; Buyers
Invited.
CLOSING ENTRY DATES

Americas finest livestock will be
on display at the coming Minnesota
State Fair and Northwest Livestock
Show, Twin Cities, September to s.
Continuing its policy of many years
standing, the management set aside
nearly 100000 in prize money this
year for the best breeds of cattle,
horses, sheep, and swine on exhibit
ton. Premiums for the cattle show
total S26,755; for horses $19,2OO; for
swine $7,12O; and sheep and goats
$4,755.
The cattle show particularly, prom
ises to surpass those of other years,
declares Superintendent w. S. Mos
Grip of Lake Elmo. 1--WE hope the
time is close at hand" says Mr..
Moscrip, when every farm in the
Northwest will be stocked with pure
bred livestock. This is the purpose
of our show. We want animals that
will show a real profit"
Record Show Seen.
Although cattle entries do not close
until Monday, August 6, enough have
been received to indicate a record
breaking show. More than 1000 head
of cattle will be on exhibition on the
main floor of the livestock pavilion,
the finest building of its kind in the
world.
Preparations are being made for a
big showing of draft horses. Most of
the old exhibitors are coming back
and many new ones are entering for
the first time. The Evening Horse
show, scheduled for September 3, 4,
5, 6, and 7, will be bigger than ever.
To Stage Futurities.
Four futurities will be staged in the
swine department. These will be put
on jointly by the Fair and the Poland
China, Spotted Poland China, Chester
White, and Duroc Jersey breed asso-
Citations.
The sheep, goats and wool depart
ment will feature show even bigger
than in 1927, when a record was es-
tablished for both quality and num-
bers of animals shown.
The management is inviting farm
ers and breeders of the Northwest
who are in need of stock, to come to
the Fair and make their purchases.

DANCE VARIATIONS

Revival of dance marathons, where
file over dance floor to the tune of
schreechy jazz. hour after hour, to
win a prize" and much publicity,
has taken place in several cities of
the Northwest.
And for about as many hours the
authorities" stand by, hold confer
ences, make threats, and tell the
newspapers funny yarns about "How
the thing just can't continue" that
it's against the law" and that it's
wholly uncalled for as entertain
ment."
But hourly, after the many "edicts, "
couples drop here and there about the
dance hall, utterly exhausted and at
the point of virtual collapse. Then
comes more warnings" more funny
yarns" but-on with the dance.
Although just plain, common horse
sense should point out to a person the
fact that such foolishness is injurious
to the health of the participants, it
has been necessary for health author
tiles to warn" of the dangers. All,
apparently, to no avail, and therein
lies the perplexing and astounding
angle of the whole thing.
Why can't these marathons be
stopped without so much red tape? If
these young people are deliberately
jeopardizing their physical well-being.
they're not in their right minds, the
promoters are not in their right
minds, and therefore, there certainly
are plenty of laws to cover the sub
ject.
When one tries to commit suicide,
he's put in Jail or the asylum. If a
person with a vile, contagious dis
ease roams at large, he's put in Jail
or the pest house.
Then why not take care" of per-
sons who deliberately flirt with tu-
berculosis (as these marathoners sure
ly are doing) and probably other dis
ease, as well as those who furnish the
breeding places" for all such?
Funny old world.
When a man steals a loaf of bread
to feed starving wife and baby, he's
given a ride" for about six months
in the work house, but when one
steals" the health of girl or, boy by
affording the place where it is easily
lost" he gets a lot of publicity and
bag full of coin.
Surely, it's high time that parents
and health and all other authorities
cooperate, to the end that the mara
thons we recently have been reading
about in the newspapers and hearing
about over the radio, will be the last.

BOUND WEST FOR CATHAY

We read with a sigh of the wander
ings of the Vikings; we thrill to the
courage of a Columbus and our ina
ginations share with Ponce de Leon
the dream of a Fountain of Youth.
We exult in the stories told by Marco
Polo, in tales of lands to the East of
spice and rare silks, of lands to the
West rich in yellow gold. The glory that
was Greece, the splendour of Rome
and power of Carthage, in all these
we feel a reflected glory.
Those were days of adventure, when
romance was real, we say and signing
we pick up newspaper regretting the
passing of all these things from our
modern world.
Have they passed? Do we not each
day read of dazzling ventures in the
air, of exploration through uncharted
northern wastes? Can we not find in
the wasted efforts of Mobile and the
gallant attempted rescue by Amund-
sen much of the bravado which we
admire in the days. that are gone?
And the story of Malmgren who cheer
ed his two companions on as he lay
down in an icy grave to wait for
death, all these stories that tell of
victory as we'll as defeat are to us but
a part of the days news.
There is romance in the passing of
time. The deeds of yesterday are the
ones to which are given the mantle
of glory. And perhaps justly so, for
the work of today seems so much
bound up with industry and the work
a-day world that we can see little
of the spirit of adventure in them.
The passing of centuries will gloss
these over with that needed magma
tive quality.-The Minneota Mascot.

ON MAKING A NEWSPAPER

Getting out newspaper is a fas-
cinating task, but it is also diff
cult one. No other job that comes to
mind is quite so taxing, quite so hur-
ried or demands greater pains. From
the moment a newspaper is started,
be it either daily or weekly the work
is carried on under pressure, a race
against time. Put yourself in an
editors pOsition-could you do it?
Could you, for example, spell cor
rectly, offhand, the names of large
percentage of the residents of this
town? If you could do that, could
you write their initials correctly
without resorting to the telephone
directory or other authority? Could
you write down, offhand, your county
officials, your leading state and ma
tional officials, getting all of the
names, initials and offices correct?
Could you gather the threads of a
story from half dozen persons and
weave them into an intelligent, read
able account the first writing? Could
you write seven columns of material
of 1900 to 1400 words each in two or
three days, week after week, year
after year, and when you had finish
ed the seven, pound out two or
three columns more before press
time? In writing headline, could you
call to mind in moment enough syn
onyms so that you would not repeat the
main thought in the same words?
Could you judge in minimum of
time what size headlines, and what
position in the paper. should be given
to each of seventy-five, a hundred or
more stories that might go into your
paper? Could you decide in a NOM

HE USES GOOD SENSE

Standpat newspapers and politi-
clans now are making much of the
fact Senator Henrik Shipstead has
not publicly announced whom ne will
support in the presidential race
whether he favors Hoover or Smith.
All the time, however, Mr.. Shipstead
goes about his business of making
more friends and supporters and just
lets these curious persons and news
papers rave and rant.
But it is the same old story.
1t will be recalled that opponents
of Mr. Shipstead were greatly con-
cerned earlier in the game, when the
Senator refused to name the ticket he
intended filing on. There was a
great deal of speculation as to his in
tentions; yes, and if you Please,
threats even were hurled at him by
those who would direct Minnesota's
political destiny, if he did or didn't
do this or that.
At that time, or to be more specific,
in its edition of May 3, the Askov
American said, in part:
1T seems everything must be done
as the politicians want it done or it
isn't just right and proper They
hollered and beloved for months
about Shipstead not making a state
ment and through it all, Senator
Shipstead quietly told them there
always is a proper time for every
thing, and l will make a statement
when that time comes.
He did, and it is quite safe to be-
lieve he will pursue the same course
in the present instance.
When politicians meet their water
loo, politically speaking, it peeves
them beyond description, and in Sena-
tor Shipstead, they have struck a
snag and are up against a man who
is more than their equal.
While Senator Shipstead isn't a
politician, as one usually thinks of
the term, he has, nevertheless, for
gotten more old stuff, and learned
more new things about politics, than
those who are antagonizing him ever
did or ever will know. That's where
the shoe pinches.
Senator Shipstead usually holds
winning hand and beats the politi-
clans at their own game, for the
reason he always has an lace in the
hole"
What would Senator Shipstead have
to gain by telling the world he is for
Hoover, or that he is for Smith?
Nothing whatsoever, but on the con-
trary, would have everything to lose.
Senator Shipstead is going to get
flock of Democratic votes, just as he
is going to get flock of Republican
votes. He is a Farmer-Laborite and
is going to get ALL their votes. Thus,
wouldn't he be the next thing to
crazy to begin shouting his presiden-
tial preference from the housetops?
Certainly!
The voters of Minnesota sup
porters Of Shipstead-don't give a rap
who Shipstead favors for President;
that's his business. Shipstead will be
found on the right side of the fence,
fighting for the rights of his consti-
tuents, no matter who happens to be
elected President.
But nobody needs to tell Senator
Shipstead what to do. He'has proved
that he is perfectly capable of taking
care of himself in any emergency and
that the threats of politicians do not
bother him in the least. He's content
to let them continue their mad raw
ing.
Meanwhile, he simply will kid 'em
along, saw wood, and rake in the
ballots next November.
In short, Senator Shipstead usually
uses his good sense.

during the year ended July 81 was

over the fatalities from the same source
for the corresponding period ended
July 81, 1927. which was 2i.7 per l00,-

The percentage of deaths per 100 900
is based on figures compiled by the

Most of these deaths were the result
Of accidents which occurred within the

An analysis of the fatalities shows
that while the number killed each year
by automobiles continues to grow. the

SAFETY ZONE RULES
TRAFFIC SAFEGUARD
Automotive Trade Director Admon-

- Carefully Observe Regulations.

Washington drivers should be espe-

of the safety zone provision CT the local
traffic regulations. because visiting mo-

large number. take their cues rem what
they see the local driver do. This
opinion IL expressed by Oscar Coolican.
director of the Washington Automotive
Trade Association. who declares tast
the large number of tourist drivers
who are obviously ignorant of the an
on driving through safety zones at any
time is traceable in part to the care
lessness exhibited by those who should
know better.
"On the outlying thoroughfares which
bring a majority of the tourists to the
Capital City" says Mr. Coolic2n. I'VE
see many violations of the safety zone
provision of the code. These areas on
such streets are rarely occuoied excep'
during the early morning rush hours.
AS a result motorists become careless In
avoiding them. although the law states
specifically that at all times the safetv
zone is forbidden territory to the aut'
mobile.
THE local motorist knows better than
TO violate this provision in the con
gestad sections. He gives TIE safety

do so. With the stranger it is different
