FARM LABOR SAVERS Thirty Acres ol Machinery Win Be At State Fair. Hundreds of Indiana farms owe their labor-saving methods and home comforts to Ideas obtained at the State Fair, and the coming exposition is going to show the newest offerings of machinery for farm use. This exhibit will cover thirty acres of ground and will include scores of contrivances for reducing the work and increasing th'e output of the farm, and there will be hundreds of machines for making lighter the work of farm women and which will give them household conveniences which make the country home rank in appointments with the city mansion. Methods of providing heat, light, waiter and sanitation will be shown. Rapid and profitable ways of doing dairy work will be exploited in exhibits. Concrete, now an important material on every modern farm, will have Its many uses shown In exhibits. One exhibitor will show a complete model farm with the model buildings made of this material. In heavy machinery the fair will have many acres of exhibits. Last year the makers of threshers by agreement did not show their machines at the fair, but they are coming to the next fair in greater force than ever. E. S. Tuell of Corydon has charge of the mechanical department. That the mechanical display is going to be on an enormous scale was made evident early in July, when all of the regular space was assigned to exhibittors, and since then there has been a clamor on the part of exhibitors for ground room. Harvesting machinery, power outfits, vehicles of all kinds, everything of use to the farmer, will have prominence in the acres of machinery that will be seen. GREAT SHOW OfSTOCK Rich Quality ot Beef and Dairy Gattie at State Fair. Both visitors and exhibitors will when they get to the Indiana State Fair the week of Sept. 12, find that the exposition has undergone a general improvement and that the quality of the livestock is higher than ever. Th.s has been brought about by a thorough revision of the premium list in which sum? flasgns were and the premiums on thosd retained increased. In the livestock classes the prises have been marked up to a total of $34,346, divided as follows: Show horses, sl4/ 875: beef cattle. $9,744: dairy cattle, $3,785; sheep. $3,627; swine. $2,315. The sum of $2,465 is offered in the Hereford cattle classes, $2,319 on Shorthorns. $1,534 on Polled Durhams, and $2,534 on Aberdeen Angus. In the beef cattle classes there are many special prizes offered by breeders' associations, and silver cups are offered by individuals, in addition to the premiums given by the State Board of Agriculture. The beef cattle will compete for prize* each day in the coliseum. The grand championship in the beef classes will be awarded on Thursday, and there is always sharp competition for this, one of the highest honors to be won at the fair. Another that will be as spirited will be for pure-bred heifers, the trophy offered being a handsome silver cup. The show of dairy cattle always has its crowds of admirers. A feature of the dairy division will be a forty-eight-hour dairy test for registered Jersey cows, the contest to be under the supervision of Purdue University. The milking in to be done on the fair grounds, where the milk will also be tested. The prizes have been contributed by the American and Indiana Jersey Cattle Clubs and by Indiana individuals. asd the total for the milking test is $450. When Wives Were Sold. When the war between Britain and France ended in 1815 many of the English soldiers found that their wives had married again in the belief that they were widows. The formal selling of the wife was regarded among the ignorant as a legal solution to the problem thus presented, and it is said that the authorities of the day deemed it best to shut their eyes at the proceeding. A certain amount of formality had to be observed, however, before the sale was considered legal even by the most ignorant. A Yorkshire writer mentions two conditions which must be carried out to make a satisfactory sale —the price of the wife must not be less than 1 shilling (24 centsi, and she must be delivered to her purchaser with a new halter around her neck. The same writer records the case of the woman who zealously preserved the receipts for herself as a proof of respectability. Humor and Morality. We have extirpated gross humor from our modern literature, but we must not suppose that we are therefore more moral than the Elizabethans, whose literature was full of gross humor. It may be that we are only more afraid of ourselves and each other. This kind of fear is destructive not only of gross humor, but of humor of all kinds. In its essence humor is brave as it is honest, but with cowardice and dishonesty there come base substitutes for it, substitutes that make fun of noble things with a humorous air, and so bring humor itself into discredit— London Times.

A special car was provided to convey the members to the grounds and a good sized crowd was in attendance. At noon a large number of the older folks went out for dinner and remained a few hours, and the grove was a scene of much pleasure throughout the day. Great preparation had been made to make it a success and the committee in charge did its part well. These picnics are held annually and are looked forward to by all members of the congregation from one year to the next. The car left the park for the city on the return trip immediately after the regular 5:30' car passed. o - FUNERAL TODAY.
