GLEAN HEALTH BILL IEH STATE FAIR
®tate Accountant Experts Warmly Commend the Economical Management—State Aid Ve Needed.
The deepest probe ever made into the financial accounts of tiie Indiana State Board of Agriculture lias been completed by the expert examiners of the State Board of Accounts and a "clean bill of health" is not onjty given the board of agriculture, but it is commended for its economy and careful management of the Indiana State Fair. The experts diligently searched the books of the fair for four years, going back to January 1, 1910, and found that the fair had in that time handled $1,426,418.48, and there was a difference of only $396.50 between the figures of the accountants and the .books of the fair. This difference, including many small items, was reduced to $170.10. G. H. Hendren, state accountant, says that this is one of the most remarkable showings .that has been made by a state .institution, not only in the accuracy of the records, but in the economicaladministration of the board of agriculture and in the management of the fair by Secretary Charles
Downing. The report fills 103 typewritten pages. The accountants appraised the value of the fair grounds and buildings at $750,000, with liabilities of $114,000, leaving a net worth of $636,000. The state has but $133,000 actually invested in the grounds, the report says, the rest .having been acquired by earnings of the fair and by judicious management.
The economy of the board •tf agriculture is shown by a reduction of per diem and expenses of :tihe- sixteen members from $4,071 in 1910 to $2,147 in 1913, giving tlae members very little return for their time and services.
The report recommends that the management of the fair and grounds remain as at present and tihai the old buildings be replaced with modtrn structures, if possible, at the expense of the State. 11 also recommends that the fair groundsftract of 214 acres be connected with the Indianapolis park system, wiftidi will enhance the beauty and value of the fair grounds. "The fair grounds is one of the finest and most valuable pieees of real estate owned by the State," said Mr. Herndren. "The State should never part with this property. for it has great possibilities not only as a place for exhibiting Indiana's resources, but as a great public park."
The report shows that in the last four years the fair has paid out $194,919.38 in premiums, practically all of it going to Indiana farmers and live stock men, stimulating the farm people to improve the quality of their stock and soil products. "Compared with what othe? (•States are doing for their fairs," sai$
Mr. Hendren, "the Indiana Board of Agriculture is not receiving the financial help it should have. Indiana is far behind other Slates in legislative appropriations for fair ibuildings and improvements. The 'Indiana fair is not going to grow 1 much more or become of much •more worth to the people of the State until the Slate does something isubstantial for it in the way of reasonable legislative appropriations.
This should be done in the interests (Of the farmers of Indiana, the wealth' producers of the State."

PJ^RIDAY, JULY 10th, we begin our "End-of-the-season campaign." But this sale will be entirely different in two respects: FIRST—It will include nothing but our regular high-grade stock of merchandise, same as shown all season. SECOND—We are going to give you the cream of our stock first, that should sell itself at these prices anytime, and 95% of it 1914 models.
