PREMIER BAND SOPRANO

MISS ANNA WOODWORD.

Miss Woodword, of Chicago, rated as the premier band soprano of the Middle West, will sing in daily concerts with the Indianapolis Military band at the grandstand of the race track at the Indiana State Fair.

STATE FAIR'S BANDS

GREAT NEW YORK ORGANIZATION IN DAILY CONCERTS. Two Eminent Soprano Singers and Other Soloists Will Be HeardFour Bands Will Play All Week.

Music will be one of the choicest popular attractions at the Indiana State Fair, which opens at Indianapolis on Labor Day, Sept. 2. Visitors to the exposition from Hoosier farms have always taken especial interest in the band concerts, and a new concert organization has not only been engaged for the coming fair, but an old favorite will be increased materially in numerical strength. Soprano and instrumental soloists will be features in all of the concerts, which will be heard morning, afternoon and night. The stellar attraction in the way of concerts will be given by Patrick Conway and his band, of New York, an organization that has never played .in Indiana. Conway is regarded as the successor of P. S. Gilmore, the pioneer band master of America, who won his reputation as a bandsman by gathering up the best talent of the country and developing them into a concert organization of highest merit. Conway’s band is pre-eminently an organization of master musicians. it first came into national prominence at the PanAmerican exposition in Buffalo. Since then the band has been heard for six years at Young’s Pier, Atlantic City; five seasons at Willow Grove Park, Philadelphia; three seasons at Oakland, Cal.; six seasons at Riverview Park, Chicago. It will this year be heard at a number of state fairs, including Indiana, lowa, New York, Texas and Louisiana.

Mr. Conway has promised to bring to the Indiana fair the greatest concert organization ever heard there. The soprano soloist will be Miss Josephine Dunfee, who has been soloist with the New York Symphony Orchestra, who has been popular as a soprano in musio festivals in many cities, has won fame in many grand operas, and hasT been on the stage with De Wolf Hopper in his light opera productions. The band and Miss Dunfee will be heard in the Coliseum each afternoon and evening of the fair, giving popular programs at each concert. The Indianapolis Military Band, which has played at the Indiana fair for twenty years, began its career there with fifteen men and at the coming inir will have forty musicians. With this band for the first time will appear a soprano soloist—Miss Anna Woodward of Chicago, rated as the premier of all band soloists of the middle west She has been a prominent factor In Important musical events in a number of cities and has been heard in Indianapolis theaters, where she won much favor.

The Indianapolis Newsboys’ Band will give morning and afternoon concerts and with the Mazeppa and United Shows, which will make up the State Fair “midway," a large band will be heard.

The fair will be in full swing on Labor Day, with numerous special attractions. Tuesday will, as usual, be free for children and veterans of the wars. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, always great days for crowds and special features at the exposition, will again be prolific in attractions. The mile track at the fair grounds has been in constant use since early spring by horses in training there, and the course will be in fine condition for the fair races.

ROLLA WELLS IS EARLY ON THE JOB

Democratic National .Treasurer Is After Small Contributor.

THE PEOPLE ARE TO HELP There Is to Be No "Tainted Money" Used In Electing Wilson and Marshall.

New A ork. —A small, smooth shaved, middle-aged man with a coat of tan that gave evidence of much outdoor life recently came into the Waldorf carrying a suit case early in the afternoon and registered as "Rolla Wells, St. Louis, Mo.” The smooth shaved little man, who is to be the watchdog of the Wilson campaign money from now on, was asked for vital statistics, whereupon it was learned at first hand that he is a banker and ex-mayor of St. Louis, is fifty-six years old, was graduated at Princeton in 1876, or three years before Governor Wilson was graduated; that he has two sons who are Princeton men and a grandson who some day will be a Princeton man; that he had no notion of seeing New York this summer until the Wilson organization selected him as Its treasurer and that just at present the one thing that sticks out in the appointment in his mind is that the new job cut In seriously upon a most beautiful vacation which he and Mrs ; Wells had been enjoying in a camp at Little Traverse bay, Michigan.

Mr. Wells believes In getting at his desk at 8 o’clock in the morning. "We are going to raise our campaign fund through the small contributions,” said Mr. Wells. "I am sure that a large part of the money w’ill be raised by popular subscription. "The people have confidence in Woodrow Wilson, and they will give what they can of their means to elect such a man president. "I am a great believer In publishing broadcast, before and after election, the various contributions made. "There are men who can well afford to give the committee $6,000, but I want to assure the public that we are not going to have any tainted money. “We are appealing to the people, and we are relying on them to help elect Wilson and Marshall. "I have two boys who have been graduated from Princeton, one five years ago and one seven. But it Is not because ours Is a Princeton family that I like Governor Wilson. He is a great big man and the type that we should have in public life."

Woodrow Wilson says this is not a time to be afraid to “speak out In meeting.” That he was not afraid Is demonstrated by his logical speech In accepting the Democratic nomination. Roosevelt was willing to crawl from the White House to the capitol in 1908 if he could help his friend Root. Today he would like nothing better than meeting Root up a dark alley. The Democrats are depending on the small contributor to help elect Wilson and Marshall. The appeal is being made to the people, and the people are responding. The Democrats are not taking the election of Wilson for granted. They are working and working harder than in a score of years and working as a united party. Farmers have awakened to the folly of the so-called blessings of a protective tariff. Winning with Wilson means mon than a mere Democratic victory 11 means restoring real prosperity.

POULTRY

COLONY HOUSE IS PROFITABLE Possesses Many Decided Advantages Over Permanent Houses—All Fixtures Made Removable.

Portable colony houses for the farm flock possess a decided advantage over the large permanent house. I make them, however, just as large as the weight will permit. My aim is to have them of such weight that they, can be moved anywhere on the farm at any season of the year, writes J. T. Campbell in the New England Homestead. When hard and native lumber is used, the maximum size is 7x9 feet, with rear wall 5 feet 2 inches and front wall 6 feet 10 Inches. This permits the use of 12-foot boards without waste, and buildings high enough to work in with comfort. If light lumber is used in construction the cost is increased somewhat, and we secure the advantage of more room. We find the farm team can handle a 7x12 or Bxlo house of this kind. We use no upright frame at all. The building is operated by the vertical siding. The runners on which these houses rest are made from 4x4 hardwood, and are placed the longer way of the house, set under 12 inches from each side and the ends flush. This keeps the runners from weather exposure, and If care is used to keep them blocked they last as long ah the building. The one shown in the accompanying ploture is the latest model. It is an object to provide for the admission of an abundance of fresh air without

dYaft. In our earlier buildings we were compelled to use a curtain to keep out the storms or snow. We found this curtain more or lejs of a : nuisance, and have gotten rid of it in the type of house shown. The roof projects over the opening 2 feet and acts as an awning. It keeps out snow and rain, but admits plenty of air. Three sides of the building are lined under with a cheap grade of two-ply roofing felt, which prevents any wind blowing through cracks and causing drafts. Single board floors are used. Perches are in the back part of the building, with dropping board - under them. Nest boxes are under the dropping board to economize space. The water vessel is placed on a shelf 18 Inches from the floor. I prefer to have all the fixtures, such as nest boxes, perches and dropping boards, removable. One of these little houses accommodates 30 to 35 Leghorn fowls.

Eggs From Pure-bred Fowls.

It took some of us a good many years to discover that there was more profit In selling eggs from pure bred fowls at |1.50 and $2 per dozen than from the barnyard variety at 25 cents. It Is easy to figure that 25 pure breds will earn more money than 100 barnyards.

DOCK MEN THREATEN STRIKE

Decision to Go Out Will Tie Up. Marine Business at Head of the Lakes. Duluth, Minn., July 30. —A strike of all dock workers at the head of the lakes, including all coal dock employes, ore dockmen and freight handlers at all docks, is being agitated by those behind the strike of the local stevedores begun Wednesday of last week. The Industrial 1 Workers of tfce World are said to be behind the movement, and if they are successful in persuading the men to go out, at least 1,500 men will be Idle and marine business at the head of the lakes will be at a complete standstill.

Sound Doctrine.

Up at the top of the Democratic platform are the words: “The high Republican tariff is the principal cause of the unequal distribution of wealth.” That is sound doctrine. Of all the measures proposed or contemplated' to Improve the condition of the masses of the people, none has in it; so much promise of practical benefit,! of correction of existing evils, in-' equities and distresses, and dlscour-i agement of wild and novel proposals,! as the reform of the tariff by downward revision.

Narrowly Escapes Death.

Shelbyville, Aug. 19—Mrs. Clyde Stainbrook undertook to fill the tank of a gasoline stove at her home while the burners of the stove were lighted. She had a narrow escape from death. Clothes she was ironing and the furniture in the kitchen were destroyed, but the fire department managed to prevent the destruction of the house-
