COIN SYSTEM AT FAIR — NO TICKETS WILL BE SOLD AT INDIANA EXPOSITION. Vlaitor* Will Provide Themeelvee With Colne to Open Turnstile* at the Gates. The coin system of paying admissions to the Indiana State Fair is to be tried tor the first time the week of Sept. 4. It Is to be tried to the end of making »t more convenient for visitors to get within the gates and avoid the usual crowds which flock about the ticket windows. It is thought that every person in Indiana knows that the admission fee for an adult to the Fair is fifty cents, and for a boy or girl under twelve years the price is 25 cents. Heretofore it has been the practice fek the street cars to unload I thousands of people at the Fair gates, followed by a rush for the ticket windows. It is now the purpose of the fair management to do away with this inconvenience to visitors by asking each person to provide himself with the exact change. A man or woman ; s asked to leave home for the Fair with a fifty cent piece to pay the gate admission, but instead of buying a ticket at the Fair, the visitor will proceed from the street car to the gate and deposit the coin in the turnstile. These mechanical devices will reg , fster, or count, coins as readily as they will receive and count tickets, and the visitor will avoid the rush for tickets. All of the admission gates around 'he Fair grounds are provided with turnstiles and the coin system will be tried at all of them. The coin system will be followed at the race track grandstand. Where a visitor arrives at the gates without the exact change, money changers will be on duty to supply them. The coin system will be so generally followed by visitors ( that the selling of tickets will be en tifely done away with, not only for the convenience of visitors, but ft will do sway with the counting of tickets, which requires all the time of a clerical force while the B'air is in progress f iGHTING»PESTS ENTOMOLOGIST WILL EXPLAIN HOW AT STATE FAIR. Extensive Exhibit. Use of Spray*. Big Show of Fruit and Grapes Among the Features. The town and country gardener who would successfully fight insect pests and diseases which, if unhindered, make such havoc to trees, tines and bushes, should by all means see the exhibit and demonstrations that State Etomologist B. W. Dougiass will make at the Indiana State Fair the week of Sept. 4. Those who saw his educational work in Horticultural hall at the Fair last year turned the information to profitable ends, but at the coming Fair this exhibit will be on still more extensive srtde Both displays and demonstrations will cover every phase of insect and disease fighting with which .he growqr has to contend. The exhibit will be made up of specimens from the various State experiment orchards and will show trees and bushes which have been attacked both by pests and diseases. Fruit from trees that were and were not sprayed, and the superiority of the sprayed fruit, will be exhibited, and what sprays to use, how to make them, and how to use them, will be included In the demonstrations. Specimen trees from the nurseries and how the grower should prune and plant them will be shown. Specimens of plant and insect diseases, photographs and charts on a variety of garden and orchard subjects will give the grower a comprehensive idea of what must be done if the gardener would be successful. The etomologist’s exhibit will also show a cage of flying bees and hives of the working insects, and the information that will be available will go far to solving the difficulties which confront the bee keeper. This display will occupy the center □f Horticultural hall, and around it in rich array will be long tables laden with the very best apples, peaches, grapes and other fruits from the orchards of Indiana's most experienced growers. With Mr. Douglass at the Fair will be a number of experts ready to answer all questions, and this feature will have immeasurable educa tional value to all interested in fruit and garden subjects. Another Contest For the Boys. The judging contest for boys at the State Fair last year was so successful, both in number of contestants and in the educational values they obtained, that a similar contest will be held at the coming Fair. It will be again under the direction of Purdue University, with Prof. G. I. Christie in charge. It will be open to any boy . in Indiana, from 16 to 19 years old, who has not regularly attended an agricultural college and who has not ‘ won a prize in previous judging contests at the Fair. The boys will judge horses, cattle, sheep, swine, eom and 1 wheat that is on exhibition, and four scholarships in the Purdue School of Agriculture will be awarded. , Boys who enter the contest must send their names to Charles Downing, seci retary of the Fair,' Indianapolis, bej fore August 19.

SOCIAL DOING 1 Dance Given bv Helen Niblick and Luncheon by Frances Dugan. FOR COLLEGE GUESTS Miss Lollie Meibers Entertains For Misses Thomas of Indianapolis. A Passing Hail. i Let us rest ourselves, a bit! Worry!—wave your hand to it — Kiss your finger tips and smile It farewell a little while. Weary of the weary way j We have come front yesterday, Let us fret us not, instead Os the weary way ahead. Let us launch us smoothly on The soft billow of the lawn, And drift out across the main, Os our childish dreams agein. Voyage off, beneath the t'ees. O’er the fields enchanted seas, Where the lilies are our sails And our sea-gulls, nightingales. Where no wilder storm shall beat Than the wind that waves the wheat. And no tempest burst above The old laughs we used to love. Lose all troubles —gain release, Languor,'and exceeding peace, Cruising idly o’er the vast, Calm, mid-ocean of the past. Let us rest ourselves a bit’ Worry!—wave your hand to' it — Kiss your finger-tips and smile It farewell a Tittle while. —Janies Whitcomb Riley. A number of friends and relatives gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs Jesse Parrish,' near Poneto, today to help Mrs. Parrish celebrate her birthday anniversary.

The John Niblick home, corner of Third and Jefferson streets, with its large rooms, and the spacious porch, with openings, one into the other, that allow them to be thrown together, each a link in i large circle, was a most suitable place for the dance. The rugs were taken up and with the floors o; the rooms and the porch waxed like a polished mirror, it was a most 'avored place for the tripping of the light and dainty steps of the twenty couples who formed the party. The dance programs were daintily illustrated in water colors and the program consisted of twelve dances, with four extras, music for which was furnished by John Wemhoff and Med Miller. Between the numbers cooling, delicious punch was served in the dining room. At 12 o'clock the party Vended its way to the C. A. Dugan home, corner of Fifth and Monroe streets, where a refreshing luncheon was served, the home hi its special decorations being a veryattractive place for the enjoyment of this. The wide hall, wifli its open stairway, was banked with palms and terns, and the parlor was given over to pink roses and dainty .vhite blossomed branches. Little tables, each accommodating four guests, were set throughout the rooms, and were very inviting with their white lunch cloths and their decorations of green fern leaves and ivy. Music and singing brought a happy evening to a close. The out-of-town guests were Marguerite Elvin, Indianapolis; Ethel Dietrich, Racine, Wis.; Edith Moore, Aurora, 111.; Louise Dryburgh. Chicago; Orrel Moore. Aurora, I!!.; Janet Teller, Chicago; Catherine Vesey, Fort Wayne; Ralph Case, Indianapolis; Brice True, Fort Wayne; Chalmer Weaver and Harry Mclntyre, Auburn: Walter Nicholson, Atlanta, Ga.
