Fair Fun And They Have ‘the Mermaids All Dressed Up’ at Exposition.

“T TOGS! Frogs! and Dogs! We've Tl got the mermaids all dressed up.” That’s the prize bellow with the pink ribbon awarded by the Barbershop Quartet for the best sandwich-man's yell at the Indiana state fair. And the winner of the raucous ranting is a frier of fish. Only those who heeded his call found out what he meant by the mermaids being "dressed up.” ana When E. H. Moore of Sheridan won thirteen first prizes in the Cots wold sheep division, his competitors* only alibi was, “He pulled the wool over our eyes.” a a tt If Chic Sale had seen Jolinny-Carry-Away-Literature today at the fair he would have promoted him to corporal, Johnny made every advertising booth, every farm implement firm, for all the booklets, buttons and gagdets he could carry. He last was seen trying to wheedle a pamphlet on “Boys” from a clinic. u a a A THREE-OUNCE bottle of oil at the fair is worth its weight in gold. Nope, that’s not banana oil, either. It’s peppermint oil from Steuben county and worth $2 a pound. The oil is distilled in an A No. 1, bottled-in-bond, government distillery and they don’t put Old Crow on the labels. a a a Joseph P. Lawson, champion old-time fiddler at state, fairs, met his Waterloo today. Lawson tried to fiddle in front of the Woman’s building, but radio and band music, proved too much for the expert at “Turkey in the Straw.” a a ts Today a blue-ribboner, but tomorrow a porterhouse steak. That’s the way of some flesh at least at the state fair. For at 1 p. m. Friday prize-win-ning steers shown by state 4-H clubs will be auctioned off to hotels and packing companies. a a a THE “how" of applying sleeping car meals to the farm was explained by Carl Schwiller of the Pennsylvania railroad to girls of the fair’s home economics school. Schwiller served as chef for many promipent families in the nation before his employment by the railroad. a a a Uncle Sam has no sinecure at the state fair. Two thousand letters arrive daily at the branch postofliice in the administration building for evbibitors and fair officials. The postoffice is in charge of John H. Rothert. a a a Willie of the too-many-hot-dogs and Sady who hit the candy booths too hard, are the patients at the first, aid hospital established on the fair grounds by the Indianapolis chapter of the Red Cross. The station is in charge of Dr. Herbert T. Wagner and a. corps of nurses, Boy Scouts and doctors.

NEW BRIDGE IS DYNAMITED Blast Wrecks Toll Structure in Arkansas. Bv United Press GARLAND CITY. Ark., Sept. 3Anew state-owned toll bridge across the Red river was dynamited early today. Two sections of the middle span were destroyed. Damage was estimated at $250,000. The bridge was to have been opened to traffic Thursday. State highway officials said they believed the dynamite was planted by disgruntled residents of this section who opposed the state’s pla,n to charge a fee for crossing the bridge.

SENATOR NYE HURLS ‘FRAMING'. CHARGE AT MRS. M’CORMICK Attempt Made to Involve Agents in Underhanded Deals, Prober Declares; Illinois Nominee Claims ‘Self-Defense.’ Bu L CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—After questioning detectives who had been assigned to follow him by Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, Republican nominee for the United States senate, Gerald P. Nye, chairman of the senate campaign funds investigating committee, charged today an attempt had been made to “frame the committee.” Kenneth Wilson, operative for the Dannenberg detective agency, which had been retained by Mrs. McCormick, laid before Senator Nye an involved account of the relations between detectives for the committee and for the private agency. Wilson said he had been approached by David Groh. investigator for the Nye committee, and that Groh had tried to bribe him to steal the files of the Dannenberg agency relating to the North Dakota senator.

“Groh also wanted me to take the stenographer (from the Dannenberg office) out and get her drunk to see if I couldn't get him some information,” Wilson testifed. “When I told him I thought SIOO was small pay for the risks of stealing the files, he said not to worry, that I would be protected.” Lloyd Bemis. accountant for the committee, and Bemis’ assistant, R. N. Maxon, identified Wilson as the man who had called on them to say that they were being shadowed and that for $lO he would tell them “all about It.” Bemis said that in a telephone conversation Wilson told him enough about his (Bemis') movements to prove that the detective had been following him. This hint of duplicity made by the Dannenberg operative led Senator Nye to observe that an obvious attempt had been made to manufacture evidence against the committee and to involve its agents in underhanded deals. Senator Nye and his fellow committeeman. Senator Porter H. Dale of Vermont, reopened their investigation of the Illinois primary in which Mrs. McCormick spent $300,000 to win the senate nomination, after learning that the committee itself was under .investigation by private detectives. Mrs. McCormick announced she had hired the detectives to check up on Nye and his activities “in selfdefense.” She blamed committee agents for breaking into her home and stealing her files.

Fur Prices to Go Higher; Buy Now /|N the world of news, a hero is worshiped today, forgotten tomorrow. Speed kings, record holders and champions in all fields come and go. It is the way with modernity. Life moves fast, records fall. Last year more fur coats were worn by American women than ever before. This summer, with fur prices swinging lowest in history, retailers report that all records for fur sales have been shattered. Coats which previously were considered expensive are now within the reach of every one because of reduced skin prices. But, already, furriers are warning that prices will rise soon. Indianapolis merchants are extending the August fur sales into September. Reductions of from 20 to 30 per cent on fur coats will last a few days yet. It is an opportune time to buy.
