DEFERRARI * —— ♦ SECOND NAMES. It has been noticed that in the 12 and 13th centuries when second names were becoming hereditary as family names many of those second names were nicknames and that the majorty of nicknames were uncomplimentary. The ridiculousness and and grossness of many early nicknames allow us to reasonably suppose (as indeed there is sufficient evidence) that some families sought various means to change their names. However, a study of the history of that period discloses a remarkable willingness on the part of the people in general to accept whatever names one's fortune or misfortune had bestowed. Nevertheless. as years went by and people became more refined and sensitive, attempts were made to throw off the more objectionable nicknames. These attempts were generally successful, so that at the present time there are very few families which bear names that are obviously uncomplimentary. However, a surprisingly large number of uncomplimentary family names are still retained because the persons which bear them are unaware of their meanings. As time goes on the forms of words change, some words drop out of every-day speech, and some words take on new meanings. Yet many of those changed and obsolete words are still to be found as’ family names in our directories. The persons who bear those names are often unaware of their real meanings, and they often wrongly identify those names with words from our everyday speech which are similar in spelling but which in many cases have wholly different origins and meanings. o Hog Prices Hit $7 At Chicago ■Chicago, Aug. 22 —(U:P) — Hog prices at the Chicago stockyards touched $7 per hundred weight today, the highest in more than three years.

McNutt Invites Citizens to 1934 Indiana State Fair I ST f iMt . ! 11188 Gov. Pau! V. McNutt i Governor Paul V. McNutt, an Exofficio member of the Indiana Board i of Agriculture believes that the 1 1934 Indiana State Fair, to be held | this year from September 1 to 7, should be attended by every man, woman and child in Indiana. He says: "More and more the Indiana State Fair comes to represent every ' , phase of the life of our great Hoo- ■ sier State. This year an industrial ; show exhibiting Indiana made pro- I i ducts is being added. A new group of buildings, housing the newest feature of the fair 'A Century of ' Progress in Education’, is under ■ construction. Indiana has as com- , plete and fine a set of buildings for its state fair as any state in the ' i nation. "Ever looking forward and watch- | ing for opportunities for improvement, the Indiana Board of Agri- | culture, under the direction of ■ Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend, • Commissioner of Agriculture, has made the State Fair one of the ' most potent influences in the economic and social life of the Stat-’. 1 The Girls Home Economics School and the Boys Club Camp are training future leaders in community betterment. Liberal premiums for every conceivable sort of agricultural product brings together the ‘cream’ of the livestock industry; the 'latest’ in machinery; the cull inary skill of the Hoosier housewife; and the racing kings of the , harness world. “Those ‘Pieasurj Bent' can find ' the fullest satisfaction in the numerous entertainment features of the fair and no one need go away . without having his own personal > wishes satisfied. . "For wholesome entertainment, , for profitable enlightenment, for Commercial enrichment, the Indiana State Fair offers marvelous opportunities to the citizens of the State. Unfortunate is the person I who is unable to attend and see for ) himself,"
