All Over The County

FAIR OAKS. Born, Monday, July 27, to Mr. and Mrs. Mat Lacasse, a son. Dry weather still contiues and the nights are cool, but health continues good. Miss Amy Bringle returned Monday from a week’s visit to Hanna and Valparaiso. The much talked of increase in the salary for the rural carriers, has so far failed to materal'ze. Owing to the dry’ weather the prospect now is that the watermelon crop will be very light in these parts. Mrs. J. T. Kight and little daughter of Indianapolis, came up. last week and are visiting with relatives here. Rev. Postill filled his regular appointment at the M. E. church Sunday a. m., in his usual satisfactory manner. Joe Clouse and family left here Thursday for Illinois where he is employed as manager on an interlock plant. Charles Manderville is at home again this week. eH has been somewhat under the weather fjor about a week and is resting up a little. Uncle Harry Harold of Pennsylvania,arrived here last week and will stay at F. R Erwin’s indefinitely. He is Mrs. Erwin’s uncle, and is quite aged. Dod, Mace, Duey Dewitt and Dora Cottingham went by team to the Kankakee river Monday in search for the finny tribe, but returned later without any fish. ■George Stover, who has been down in Benton county threshing for three or four weeks, shipped his outfit back here the first of the week and made a run east of here* Miss Ethel Yeoman of Hanna, came down Wednesday and will visit her uncle, Abe Bringle awhile and then will visit her uncle Will and other., relatives at Rensselaer. Mrs. Huntington of Moors Hillwhom Calven Burroughs lived with from a small child until he grew to manhood, arrived here Tuesday evening to make Cal and family a visit. The writer received the sad news last week that Clayton, the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Moflitt of Buttsville, N. D., had died on the Sunday morning before. He had been a sufferer for over a year with lung trouble. This makes the third death for the family since they moved out there. Those attending the basket dinner and services in John Alter’s grove Sunday from here were: Will Warren and son, Bert and family. Miss Mabel and Herbert Bozell, Sam Potts and wife, Abe Bringle and wife and son, Arvel, and Miss Pansy Bozell. They also attended night services at the Rosebud church, and in all listened to a couple of grand sermons., We notice that in spite of the great and abundant amount of grain being shipped into the United States, i and live stock, too, the prices on all are still advancing. What’s the, matter, ye calamity howlers? When-i ever we get a new pair of shoes, we should give them a thorough trial before we begin to howl. Free trade, as they call it, cannot have a thorough test inside of three or four years, so just give the calf the rope and in due time if not properly developed, it will be led to the slaughter. So just give the administration a thorough trial.

Suinmer Constipation Dangerous. Constipation in summer time is more dangerous than in the fall, winter or spring. The food you eat is often contaminated and is more likely to ferment in your stomach. Then you are apt to drink much cold water during the hot w’eather, thus injuring your stomach. Colic, fever, ptomaine poisoning and other ill are natural results. Po-Do-Lax will keep you well, as it increases the bile, the naural laxative, which rids the bowels of the congested poisonous waste. Po-Do-Lax will make you feel better. Pleasant and effective. Take a dose tonight. 50c at your druggist.—Advt.

STATE FAIR AND MOTOR CAR SHOW

Two Great Expositions to Be Combined This Year. THE FAIR AS AN EDUCATOR Farm People Will Be Inspired to Greater Efforts by What They See and Learn—Each Department Rich In Prizes, the Total Being $71,601. 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 tc 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 accomplish 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 w’ith their own best yields, $71,601 is offered in premiums. In the speed department, m 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 $12,849, 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 the country is given at the Indiana Fair, the prizes, which will bring out a rich exhibition of pure bred birds, amounting to $2,190. The corn show, the displays of grains, seeds, vegetables and root crops from Hoosier soil, will again be a notable one, the prizes amounting to $1,762. In the department of horticulture, with shows of fruits, plants and flowers, bees and honey, as well as table luxuries, the coming fair will have displays of uncommon interest, the department prizes amounting to $2,876. In fine arts, where Indiana women show their skill along many lines, bringing out in rich array the best needlework, pictures and craftsmanship, the awards will reach $1,702. Many Special Attractions. Combined with the educational features of the fair and automobile show, the fair will offer a gala list of special attractions —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 splenddr in the coliseum. 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 own transportation. An immense amount of free parking space will be provided for these autos at the next fair, and the cars will also be admitted at the gates free.—Advertisement.

JOEL MOSSBERG IS GIFTED AND FAMOUS

To Sing on Chautauqua Program In This City This Season. Worcester (Mass.) Sven. March.— “The next number on the program belonged to the prominent baritone, Joel Mossberg of Chicago. He made his Worcester debut with the prologue from ‘Pagliacci.’ Greeted by storming applause upon his entrance on the stage, the applause after the song became an ovation. Of a singer with so stately an appearance one expects stately things, and the audience was not deceived. The way Mr. Mossberg rendered the prologue has never before been heard in Worcester. The delivery of this difficult aria was dramatic, effervescent with life and color, and Mr. Mossberg’s voice was resonant in all its registers, his brilliant high tones ringing and bell-like in a way one seldom finds in the most gifted baritones of International fame. In

one word, the prologue was sung Friday evening In a way that could only be done by a great singer and an artist, who has the advantage of voice resources extraordinary, and the public rewarded him with tremendous applause, to which he responded with the "Toreador* from ‘Carmen.’ To sing so taxing an encore after such a big number as the prologue was almost too much to expect, but we by this time expect almost anything of Mr. Mossberg, and the ‘Toreador’ was greeted with :. storm of applause well deserved.” Mr. Mossberg will appear in this city on the Lincoln Chautauqua program on the sixth day. He is a member of the National Grand Opera Company, which will sing the preludes to Congressman Fred S. Jackson’s addresses.

TENOR OF MUSICAL NOTE ON BIG PROGRAM

“While Mr. Hamilton has the physique and the voice to be classed emphatically as a dramatic tenor, he yet has such a beautifully lyric quality as to place him also In the list of purely lyric voices,” says the Music News. Chicago. “His range is remarkable, and the power of his voice Is amazing. At the same time this power in nowise interferes with quality, and he is able to sing steadily, suavely and with great
