Tha boys and girts «rs ^'staying on Uis Job," ara building up thair harda and thair bank accounts, and all tha signs point to Uia fact that for yaara to coma tha awlna indeitry in Indiana is not only to expand vary largsly. but ths quality of tha

animals will kaap paca with numbars. Boys aad girls ara not only growing pigs and calves of thair own, but thair fathers hava caught tha "fever" for pura blood, and tha slogan, "A porabrad airs for every hard” will before many yean be a dream coma true tn horsaa. cattle, aheap and awlna on Indiana farms. Indiana is dosing Its graatast year In aheap Never wars herds so laitra in numbars, never was tha aUmiiw of Mood so pure. Tha sheep industry has expanded amasingly in tha last four years. Tha price of wool ia largely rasponaibla for the davalopniant. and since county organisationa of aheap braadars hava begun to pool thair wooL'whioh has cut out tha "middle man" batsraan tha wool producer and )ha large buyers, farmers hava obtatnad from IE to W eabfs a pound more for thair flaaoas. Tha axpanslon of flooka apd tbs anthudasm of braadars are rafleotad In tha entry lists for tha coming fair, for tha number of thaaa animals in tha pavilion at tha exposition will All that structure to overflowing. Thera will ba 700 or tOO sheep at tha state fair, am:h one **brad tn tha purple." Horos Industry. Although tha horse industry has bean trailing other live stock production on Indiana farms for soma years, dua to low prices and lack of demand, with tha motor truck and tractor ms factors, tha

horaa ahows at Uia fair promiaa to show an improvement over laat year. While thousands of Hooaiar horsaa want into war sarvica, the foundation atock from which they cams still remains In Indiana. Tha beat authorities predict that tha present and increasing ahortaga ia g^ng to cause heavy draft horses to "coma back" In tha next few years, and the osmars will bring highly brad airas and matrons to tha coming fair in an effort to recreate tha enthusiasm among Indiana braadars that prevailed sight or tan years ago. Tha pony show at tha fair la going to ba much larger than at any tlma in racMit years. Last year there was only one herd of ponies In tha big brick bam, while at the next fair there will ba flve or six* in all, nearly IfiO ponies of Zetland and Welch Mood One great outstanding live stock queatloa is to be anawerdd at fho IndiaiOt fair. Which are champkma? While ^Ider breeders have been inoreaaing their floeka and herds, new breeders in uncounted numbers hava taken up the industry of pura-bred stock. Every breeder is proud of hia accomplishments and now ha is anxious to measure tha quality of his Uvaatock with that (fom other breeding farms, and the chief plaM to take this measurement is in the arena Shows at tha state fair. Still another reason for ths larger ahows at tha exposition fa. a blue ribbon .wop by

a sire or matron brings a distinction to ths winning Inweder* which greatly widens hia market, and brings bettM* prices for the animals which he offers at auction or at private aala » Ambition to Win. The ambition to win extends all along the line of exhibitors at the fair. Men who have won prise ribbons times without number in years gone by come again with the old ardor to pull down the high awards. This ambition Is now highly developed among boys aad ghis who will compete for prises in tha pig and calf contests, and where they win in the breed contests, they will compete for still higher honors—royal purple ribbons in the grand championship events. Advsaee reports from over ths state Indleate that bankers and merchants ara ooming to ths exposltlmi ia much larger numbers than in any othsr year. They are not coming as exhibitors. But thsy have caught the "fever" of live stock production in their bon^ counties. and they are ooming to the fair to look over the herds and Hocks and get in. step with the enthusiamn which is now abroad over the state. The pig and calf clubs of Indiana ows their origin to the financial backing they have received from banks and trust companies, which have Joined with breeding awooiations and county farm

agents in starting thSas movements in most of ths counties of ths stata Ths "fever" is spreading to the merchants of ths county seats as well as in smaller towns, who see community expansion and inersued community wealth where a county dsvslt^ Ks live stock sotivUies. The Imstness men have been making summer tours of the breeding farms in thslr counties, thsy have been offering prises la Itvs stock classes at thMr home fairs, and in scores of oommnntties thsy have become attuned to the farming spirit which is rising. New Pisid Open. Indiana towns that have been ambitious to become industrial centers, with shipping facilities aad labor supply as obstacles ia their way, are finding that a^asw field is open to them along the lines of pedigreed live stock. Kentland is a HooOler county seat that has ybeceoks a red tack oh the map *1 th*']||fs stock world, because it is the home town of one of the world's great herds of Herefords. Martinsville has in the last month also become “red tack" town, for It is now ths horns town of ths world’s largest and finest herd of Ayrshire dairy cattle Hunterstown. which once had diflloulty in holding a place on the map. Is now conoeicuous because It is the ssles headquarters of the Ft Wayne District Shorthorn Breeders’ Association, made up of several counties MooresviUe is the home

tosm of one of the largest herds of Jerseys tn the csntrai_weet the queen of the herd being Rosette, which won tho grand championship of Indiana dairy cows at the state fair last year. Ths breeders of Docadw county have orgmaised a plan for winning national attention as a center for pure bred stock. Hendricks county is conosntratIng on swins. And many mors towns and counties are bidding for new fame as the headquarters of |yeeds of horses,

cattle, sheep or swina

But not an of the Interests of ths state fair will be conomitratsd on live stook. *nie poultry show is going to rank with its best years. It is to be housed in the hwtlcultural building, which will give improved housing for both ex|ilbite and visitors. There is going to be an extraordinary srray of soil products in the sgrloultural building at ths west end of the race track, a feature of which will be the com show. All of ths ground room available for firm maohlnery, from tractors to home sleotrlo outfits, has bsm taken by manufacturers, whose displays in tents and pavilions win cover about forty acres. The interest of women will ooneentrate in a new building which will on September 2 be dedicated to their use. In site it Is the second largest on the fair ground, and in architectural design it ranks with the imposing buildings of Indianapolis. It is of brick, concrete

and steal, and haa thxss floosa. Ths mala ftoor la to ba atUlasd for sxhlbita of needlework, dsocoated china and other Mcamplea of fsmtntas orattsmanahlp. On this flo<w also will ha tea show of flowers aad eaUnary produots. and at ths rear is a large art gallery where pictures* In oils and water oilers are to be displayed. ^ Itis upper floor will house tha naw school of home eoonomloa. ooaiteintog claaarooma, dormitory aad auditetimm with seating capacity for Wk About sixty gtrla from aU over Indiana will make up the enrollment for ths term, whldi opens on August IE aad cmittnuafl through the fair. The basement of the women’s building oontains a large serveself cafeteria for the use of the publio. Another educational feature of the exposition will be conducted by thirty instructors for Purdue university. Seveiml tons of exhibition material, all relating to the farm, will be shown hr \Purdue, some" of tlte exhibits te be In the Oliver pavilion and ths remainder in the dairy building. AutomobNa Show. The automobile show to be held by ths Indianapolis Automobile Trade Association in the new manufacturers’ building is going to outrank any display the association has ever_mads. The new building is of impressive design, of brick, steel and concrete, with dayllidit from overhead as one of ths arohttsctural features. Ths building contains one room with 30,000 square feet of floor spptes. or nearly two acres. Largs as ths floor snsos la it has all been taken by makers of automohUss and aoosssorl^ The automobile show la to be open at night, as well as through the

day.

The musical headliner of ths «Kposi- _ tion is to be ths list New Tmk Infantry Band Jeanette Adler’s orchestra of women Is to play at ths women’s building every day. Alrptanes which will carry passengers on sight seeing trips; outdow vaudevlUs every afternoon t a piano accordion player who will play where crowds are largest, are some others on ths program of popular wtertainmsnt. Four harness races are to be given each afternoon, with a threeheat race between Miss Hazris M. and Single O., on Wednesday, September S, as ths big imoe of ths week Automobile raosB, In which a number of dirt^ track pilots will compete, will be held on the afternoon of September A The scarcity of light ^amsm aad saddle horses of ths higher class forced ths stats fair out of Its night horse activities, and it is doubtful whether these shows will ever be held again. ^ But a hippodrome show, mads up of equine acts from ths circuses, aerial performances, ground acrobatics, a dancing ballet, aad othsr speetacular numbers from circuses aad "big time" vaudeville, will make up the hippodrome which <^pons on Monday night, September 1 and closes with Saturday night ^ AU in all it is going to be a "regu- - lar" state fair.

Men accuse us of inconBistency. but nothing bores than so surely as ths monotony of consistent one-day-Uke-anothsr existence.

He had written to his mother, and was writteg a sort of "last wilt and testament^ message, as he humorously expressed it. that I was to give to her, trite my own hands, "right there ia the sitting loom, where you and mother used to sit with your sewing when Bob

and I were youngsters."

With the true American’s disregard for his own importance In the scheme of things, Stephen had dared to bring a smile to my Ups, though my eyes were blinded with tears, and it was his ridiculous reference to tee way the French had "peeled” him—some nonsense about not having any material wealth to dispose of, followed by a half-humorous and wholly lovable effort to cheer us bote—that evoked my "sermon " Ths signing of the armistios, and anotesr note from him had followed so closely on the “will and testament" that my reply was conosmed mainly with his relations with the French rather than the enemy. I foresaw that a few more months over tears, with our boys wwmnting the ses^ngly tnhospitabte attitude of their allies, would play mors havoc with tbs friendly rslaUona between the nations than a dosen leagues
