STATE FAIR AND MOTOR CAR SHOW
Two Great Expositions to Be Combined This Year.
JHE FAIR AS AN EOUGATOR
Farm People Will Be Inspired t» Greater Efforts by What They See and Learn—'Each Department Rich
In Prizes, the Total Being $71,601.
?S- The education of men and women from the farms, inspiring them to greater achievements to the end that
Indiana may become more than ever an agricultural and live stock state— this wilL be the dominating note of the Indiana State Fair, which opens for the 61st exposition on Sept. 7. It was this incentive which led to the founding of the enterprise in 1851, and so rigidly has it been fixed in purpose, the Indiana Fair is now reaching the third generation of Hoosier breeders and tillers of the soil, giving them both Instruction and encouragement to push the state forward along farming lines. In the last four years 592,479 people have attended the fair to obtain the inspiration and enjoyment which it offers, and in that time, in addition to the instruction given, the fair has incited farmers and breeders to greater efforts by distributing $194,919.38 in premiums among them.
Some Educational Features.
The coming fair will be chiefly noted as a source of instruction and inspiration to those who would accomplisn more for themselves along agricultural, livestock and allied lines. The fair will not only reveal what individual farmers and breeders are doing, but will have a pronounced flavor of these later days by the greatest show of automobiles that has ever been held in Indiana. In addition to what the fair itself has to offer, the State of Indiana will, through four of its departments, have extensive educational exhibits—in forestry development and preservation, in fire prevention, in farm etymology, in safe-guarding the public from dishonest drugs, adulterated foods, short weight and measures. To make the educational work still more valuable and far reaching, practically the whole force of experts from Purdue University will spend the •week at the fair, helping farm people in the solution of their home problems
As an incentive to the farmers and live stock men to send their best products to the fair, that other farmers may see and compare with their own best yields, $71,601 is offered in premiums. In the speed department, in which the development of Indiana trotters and pacers is the leading factor, the purses amount to $30,000, and in the show horse division the prizes are $12,339, over $4,000 going to draft horses, nearly $5,000 to show horses, including about $2,000 for the saddle classes.
Great Live Stock Shows.
The Indiana Fair measures up with the great live stock shows of the continent in its cattle, the premiums in this department reaching S12,849, of which $6,360 goes to beef cattle, $4,946 to the dairy breeds and the remainder in special awards.
The sheep show will be the most pretentious the fair has ever had, offering $3,218 in premiums, and with a wool exhibit as one of its new and best features.
The fair's big swine pens have been greatly improved this summer by cement floors. The prizes amount to $4,200, again assuring that the fair "will have a fine exhibit of swine.
One of the great poultry shows of the1country is given at the Indiana T^ir, the prizes, which will bring out a rich exhibition of pure bred birds, amounting to $2,190. a The corn show, the displays of grains, seeds, vegetables and root crops from Hoosier soil, will again be a notable one, the pvizes amounting to ,$1,762.
In the department of horticulture, i^with shows of fruits, plants and flowlers, bees and honey, 6s well as table •-luxuries, the coming fair will have displays of uncommon interest, the deapartment prizes amounting to $2,876.
:l
In fine arts, where Indiana women g^ehow their skill along many lines, ,,-brin^ins out in rich array the best ^needlework, pictures and craftsmanr?SBhi|), the awards will reach $1,702.,
Many Special Attractions. Ifilj Combined with the educational feat"nres of the fair and automobile show.
:the
fair will offer a gala list of special a attract ions—Natiello's band and singing quartet Amedio, the piano-accord-ion player fresh vaudeville bills, lavish parades of live stock midway carnival shows, ending each day with a night horse show of splendor in the coliseum. j'1
A notable list of eminent authorities on livestock and farm products make up the list of judges who will award the prizes at the state 'fair.
Many thousand people, especially from farms and small towns, went to the state fair in their autos last fall, and still greater numbers of these cars are expected at the coming fair, 'for these visitors then control their 4wn transportation. An immense 'amount of free parking apace will

provided for these autos at the next fair, and the ears will also be vial the galea free. (Advertisement)

Report of Storm Gathering In Extreme West, Corrobroated By Old Time Local Signs.
The United States weather iran after predicting fair and warmer weather up to 7 p. m. Tuesday, informed the public that a storm was gathering in the extreme West which will reach the Central States about Wednesday or Thursday and the Eastern States by the last of the week. The storm is to be followed by cooler weather.
The prediction is at least consoling to a degree to the people who are suffering from the extreme heat and to the farmers who are seeing their crops prospects rapidly vanishing.
In addition to the official reports on the weather, the old-time signs indicate that relief from the heat and drouth is prospective. The sky was very red Tuesday morning and a fine rainbow decorated the western horizon as the sun arose. These sure signs of rain and storm are older by far than the weather bureau. "A rainbow in the morning is to give the sailors warning." These signs prevailed even before the telegraph which now carries the news of approaching storm. The people may take hope, though it has been known for a long time that there is never much rain in extremely dry weather. On the other hand, it may be remembered that there never was a drouth that was not followed by a rain. Even now there are some people who say that we may look for a flood when it does come. The latter prediction is based on the old rule that one extreme follows another.
Golden Wedding Day.
That beautiful sentimental song, "Put on your gray bonnett, with a blue ribbon on it, While I hitch old Dobbin to the shay. We will drive to Dover through fields of clover on our golden wedding day," carries with it more pathos and is appreciated more by old and young than any or all of the latest popular airs. It flashes the mind and heart with its "back to the long ago," and they see these "grand old pictures that hang on memories' halls." Fifty years ago July 26th, our esteeemed old fellow townsman, Hiram P. Gough and his good wife,' Ellen, were married at New Castle by Squire Needham, long since gathered to his fathers. She was Miss Ellen Hall, just twenty, and he a year and a half older. He lived near Lewisvitle and she at New Lisbon. Twenty-two years ago they moved lo Greenfield to their present abode, on North East street.
Six children blessed the union, two little girls dying in infancy. The sons are all 1-iving, being honored citizens in their respective localities. Charles, the oldest, lives in Indianapolis, and is city salesman for Koth-Wells & Bauer. He is married and has a family. Robert is also married and lives in Los Angeles. He has a highly responsible position in a house furnishing establishment. Ora and Chet, as they are called, have been trusted bookkeepers at Ivingan & Co.'s for several years, and they never fail unless under the most unavoidable circumstances, to spend Sunday with father and mother in Greenfield. They are bachelors, but that is purely their own fault. They lavish their affections on their parents and no mother is prouder of her boys than Mother Gough. She is a faithful and dependable member of the Friends' church in this city and faithful to the trust reposed in.her.. She has an only brother," R. Hall, a clothing merchant. at Richmond a sister, Mrs. Frank Miller, at Sulphur Springs, Henry county, and another sister, Mrs. Sarah E. Thomas, in Minneapolis. She formerly lived in this city with her husband, who has since deceased. There are no more beloved old people in Greenfield than Mr. and Mrs. Gough, and most any time in the evening two or three such neighbors as M. T. Smith, Phi Collyer, Briney, Shumway, etc., may be seen sitting with them at their home, either in winter or summer. No demonstration is being made around this fiftieth milestone, but some tears, smiles and folklore are indulged with their friends who congratulate them. Besides many minor things, they were recipients of $50.00 in gold from Ora and Chester.
Miss Eva McMichael, of Rushville, who has been the guest of J. R. Harrison and family fof the past few days, has returned to ihe home of Mr, and Mrs. E. W. Jones, on Route 1.
Simon Fishburn has completed a splendid 128-foot well for Lon Welbourn at Willow Branch, and began Monday to put down another well for Pete Brohard, west of town.

HOME TEAM WOK BIG GAME SUM
Athletics Win -By Score of 7 to 3 In Presence of Big Crowd In Game Willi Bridgeport
Team.
Sunday's game of base ball between the Greenfield Athletics and the Bridgeport team was claimed by many to have been the best game of the season so far. The vis iting team is a clean bunch of players, maintaining their reputation in that particular, but they are unable to say that they have not lost a game this season since meeting the Athletics of this city. At the beginning of the game the visiting team appeared to be sweeping everything, getting three runs in the first inning, but the home team bid good bye when Rafferty went into the pitcher's box at the end of the second inning and wound up the game with a score of 7 to 3 in favor of the home club. The game attracted a large crowd, many accompanying the visiting team from Bridgeport. It was a clean game between two good teams that have made fine records this season.
BUSINESS MEN TO GIVE HORSE SHOW

Representatives of the business men of the city met Tuesday forenoon and discussed the proposed horse show. It was decided to hold the show the last week in August.

KELLEY PREACHES Oil SUBJECT OF SABBATH
Holds That It Is Purely a Religious Institution and That It Is the Seventh Day.
Pastor H. M. Kelley, of the Seventh Day Adventist church, delivered an address on the subject of the Lord's Day or Christian Sabbath, Friflay night, producing Scripture to show that the Sabbath for all time and all people must be a specific day and that it must of necessity be a religious institution. He said in part:
uTh.e
Lord's day is spoken of in so
many words but one time in all the Bible. These are the Words: 'I was in the spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet.' Rev. 1: 10. A specific day is here referred to, but no name is given. In the days of the apostle, it was clearly understood that the Sabbath was the Lord's day, but since no particular day is mentioned in the text it will be necessary for us to prove this point from other scripture. In the bosom of the decalogue we have these words: 'The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God.' Exo. 20: 8-11. The Lord speaking through Isiah says: 'Turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day.' Isa. 58: 13. Jesus said: 'The Son of Man is Lord also of the sabbath.' Mk. 2: 28. "Taking these expressions together, we have a clear understanding of the day the Lord calls His. If the Lord designates the seventh day of the week as the 'sabbath of the Lord,' 'my holy day,' and says He is Lord of it, it certainly must be the Lord's day. This being true, the sabbath must be the Lord's day, and the specific seventh day of the week is poinled out in the .commandment as such. There need not be, and there is no question on this point. The divine law is as we have given it. "Since the Sabbath is a sacred day, set aside by the Lord in His holy law, it must follow that the Sabbath is a religious institution and since it is a religious institution, it is not within the jurisdiction of civil authority for the first amendment of the Federal Constitution says: 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.' For many years the Congress of the United States has been urged to legislate on this question, but so far such legislation has not been considered favorably, and it is to be hoped that the affairs of the church will never pass into the hands of the state in this country, The home of the brave and the land of the free.'"
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Gant made an automobile tour to Anderson, Elwood, Marion and several other cities Friday. They stopped at Anderson to look after some business property which they own in that city.
The Indianapolis Aerie of Eagles has completed arrangements for the erection of a new lodge building at the southeast corner of Illinois and Vermont streets, to cost $50,000.
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel W. Harding and granddaughter, Ruby Bahning, went to Carthage Saturday morning, where they will visit Mr. and Mrs. James McCorkle. Mrs. McCorkle is a sister of Mr. Harding.
The Odd Fellows conferred the First Degree Friday night ^nd at the close of lodge ten gallons of ice cream and a fine cake were enjoyed. ,,.
Miss Hazel Roberts, of near Cumberland, who has been visiting her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Reeves, of North State street, returned home Saturday morning.
M. H. Lichliter, wife and children, of Boston, Massachusetts, are here for a few weeks' visit with Mrs. Lichliter's parents, Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Larimore.
Burt Burk, one of Maxwell's popular merchants, was in Greenfield Saturday morning on business.
Big Acreage, Large Yield. Alva Apple, residing up near Willow Branch, threshed out his wheat the other day and it totaled 2,000 bushels. He had out 100 acres.
Mayor J. Q. Johnson and wife spent Sunday with Mrs. Johnson's brother, William Blackford, near Fountaintown.
Miss Kresenz Hafner has returned from ft trip through the East
COMMITTEE SELECTED A SITE PARTLY IN CITY LIMITSTRACT OF 200 ACRES-
WORK TO BEGIN AT ONCE.
A site of 200 acres of land, fortytwo acres of which lie within the city limits of Franklin, Indiana, was chosen Thursday by the building committee of the F. A. M. for the Masonic Widows' and Orphans' Home of the State of Indiana, says the Indianapolis Star.
The committee had been inspecting several sites within the last few weeks and the present site was picked from a list of twenty-eight.
The new home is to have city water and electricity and all modern improvements. The 'first buildings to be erected will be the administration building and possibly two or three cottages.
Work on the home will start imimmediately, according to a member of the organization. When completed it will accommodate several hundred persons. According to the present, plans the cost of the home will be about $22,000.
CONSUMER BUYS BACK HIS PRODUCTS
Pays the Commission of a Half Dozen Middlemen and Consumes Own Product.
A farmer was seen with two slices of cured ham Thursday, for which he said he paid 55 cents. That price was more than twice as much as it would have cost that farmer to produce the two slices of ham. Of course he was able to pay the price, it ad in a it he thought that he sold his hogs from $7.50 to $8.25. Had he raised his own meat it would not have cost him $7.50 because there is a profM in raising hogs at that price In the cured ham which he bought there was a profit to the farmer who produced it to the railroad who had two charges of freight added on to it to the commission men and the packer who handled it, and finally to the dealer who sold it to the farmer. True economy urges the farmer to cut out all .'he expenses between the producer and consumer on products which he raises himself.
Asks Divorce and Custody. Victoria Banta has filed suit for a divorce from Wesley Banta and also asks for the custody of their four-year-old son, Howard. She alleges that the defendant treated her in a cruel and inhuman manner and abandoned her and is now a nonresident of Indiana.
Death of Charles H. Biair. Charles H. Brair, a well known and highly respected citizen, died at midnight Wednesday at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wempner, east of Gem. He had been sick for some time with heart trouble, dropsy and other ailments. Mr. Brair leaves four daughters and other relatives and had a wide circle of friends, as he was a prominent citizen and well liked. Funeral Saturday at 2 o'clock at the church in the German settlement, south of Gem. Several Greenfield citizens are expecting to attend the funeral
Ministers' Picnic.
