A CEMENT EXHIBIT Acker Cement Works Has Interesting Display of Manufactured Articles Among the many attractive and interesting displays of the local manufacturers at the Northern Indiana Fair, and one that is attracting a great amount of publicity on account of its uniqueness, is that of Acker Cement W’orks. This firm manufactures a very extensive line of ornamental cetnent blocks, porch columns, flower urns and boxes and have a display of all these articles arranged in an artistic manner in their tent. The feature drawing card of their exhibition however, and one that is attracting the most attention, is the practical demonstration of the Acker Burial Vault. To prove their claims that this vault is an automatic vacuum sealer and is guaranteed to exclude water and vermin, they have placed one of the medium sized vaults in a large tank of water. In order that the insides of the vault may be visible to the spectators, they have made an opening in the top of the vault and have installed an electric light on the floor so as to make possible an inspection of the interior and showing that not a drop of water enters the vault although all the openings are entirely submerged. Mr. Acker and his sons are continually on the job and are more than pleased to explain detail the merits of the various articles that are manufactured by them.

OWNER IS HERE J. I). Ferguson Who Paid $50,000.00 for Hereford is Here for the Fair LIVES IN MINNESOTA Prize Animal a Brother of Richard Fairfax, Jr.— Visited Fonner Farm Among the distinguished and prominent persons attending the fair yesterday was J. D. Ferguson, who came all the way from Canby, Minn., to be the guest of his friend, Col. Reppert and be entertained at .one of the greatest fairs ever held in the county. Mr. Ferguson who with his brothers, is engaged in the Hereford business and is the owner of the prize Hereford bull, he paying $50,000 to L. A. Pinard of Wessington Springs, South Dakota for Richard Fairfax, a son of the famous Perfection Fairfax owned by Governor Warren T. McCray. Perfection Fairfax died a few months ago. Mr. Ferguson and his brothers have a herd of about two hundred Herefords and their original farm comprises 1.250 acres and is one of the most modern and productive in the country.’ Two large barns one housing seventy-two head and the other 100 head of Herefords are on the place besides a modern home and other buildings. The way Mr. Ferguson came to buy his prize animal and pay this enormous sum was through a little wager between himself and Col. Reppert. The later told him he could not buy the animal, and Mr. Ferguson sai'd I’ll not take “No” for an answer. Os course he didn't want the Colonel to give him the laugh so he made his offer to Mr. Pinard worth while and the next time he saw Mr. Reppert, he informed him that he had Richard Fairfax in his barns. Enjoyed Big Fair. This was Mr. Fergusqn’s first visit to Decatur and he was greatly impressed with Decatur, the big fair and (Jellmont Park and said Colonel Reppert is surely a wonder and one of the best men in the country. I came all the way here to see him about business matters and have been well repaid. This fair is without doubt one of the biggest, and best ever held in the country. It is a wonder. Visits Fonner Farm, About five-thirty last evening Mr. Ferguson and Guy Green, 1 together with a representative of this paper made a trip to the Fonner Stock farm and enjoypd a few minutes visit on the farm. Richard Fairfax, Jr., who heads the herd of Herefords at the Fonner Stock Farm is a full brother to the prize $50,000 Hereford. See Better Times. Mr. Ferguson stated that he already noticed a “comeback” in the Hereford business and that just before he left he sold; eight;-heftd to two men who .were starting in the business. He said that prices would never be as high as they were for a couple of years past and that they did not have to be in order to warrant profitable returns on the investment. L. G. Ellingham and his business manager, Andy Gruber, of Ft. Wayne, took in the big fair.

Thoughts of Our I 8 Old School Days a q ’ (Continued from page one) e of woven bags and caps. Thanksgiving and Christinas posters. The penmanship of this grade Is surprising as ’ well us excellent.

The composition work of this { grade deserves special mention. The ( doll house of this ward was furnished with contributions from each room ‘ and is extremely clever. The play j room on the third floor with its teet- { er totters and nine pins shows us the ( thoughts that come first in the child- ( ish mind. , Next comes the South ward with its 1 doll house representing Christmas , time with its cheer and warmth. The j ct>lor schemes and furnishings of this | house would make even an interior ( decorator sit up and take notice. The First grade of the South ward under the guidance of Miss Eva Ack-' er, have an Indian Village with wigwams and canoes, a village which the Indians themselves would be glad to claim.

Then comes the High School work, a chart illustrating the practical value of Latin and also Latin Valentines is the clever product of Miss Marie Coak's pupils. Misses Ruth Gay and Blanche McCrory had the training of the Commercial high school which course is indeed most practical. A study of Legal Papers deserves mention, also letter writing, business man or woman. The Aigebra and Physics department under the supervision of Miss June Ossenberg and D- L. Briggs have interesting charts and drawings on display. A chart at the end of the tent with this heading, “Some of the Fellers We Studied in Literature” proves most inviting. The History Students under the direction of Miss Martha Tyner have contributed maps, drawing i and historic pictures. There is an ex- j cellent chart on Physical Training, which can be studied with great in- 1 terest. Superintendent M. F. Worth 1 man, Principal Byard Smith and I the corps of teachers are to be con I gratulated on their excellent and j thorough training of high school, pupils.

The Flying Floyds, tho O’K liras, the Hoagland Brothers, Fred LaDeile, Cowboy Dixon, ami the others gave their part in an exceptionally pleasing manner, and the fair management was complimented on every hand by the many strangers who came to see Colonel Reppert's fair, of which, they had beard so much about. * Over in one corner of tho grandstand a group of formers were discussing the stock exhibit, and one of them was so enthused over tho Hereford cattle on tho grounds, that ho declared he was going into the Hereford business just as soon as he could make the necessary arrangements. •‘Why I never saw tho like and when I had seen pictures of tine cattle I thought that some artist had made that picture just for show. But when 1 saw these fine animals today, I changed my mind. I didn’t think it possible.” Many similar expressions could bo heard concerning the other departments. in the swino, horse and poultry departments the surprises wero just as great, and the expressions which came from the fanciers in each department. The Night Show The night program consisted of the free attractions in front of the grandstand. the picture films, and the fireworks. The grandstands and bleachers were so crowded that not another person could gain admittance. All attractions were fine, and th4 fireworks were especially good.
