ART SHOW TO BE AT ROSSER FAIR

Annual Indiana Exposition Offers Many Attractions For Women Visitors. Women visitors to the Indiana State Fair will see in the art department an exposition of craftsmanship of many kinds that has been made entirely by Hoosier women., Under new plans of the fair management, no exhibits Uiade by other than Indiana women C yP,Y e shown, and any woman who is skilled in needlework, with brush or camera, can compete for the prizes. In the fine art division there are eleven departments, each of which wi.i overflow with the clever work of Indiana women—crochet and knitted work, made lace and embroidery, hand sewing, fancy work, photography, craftsmanship in wood, leather and brass, paintirms and drawings. One of the great features of the art department will be the lavish display ot c.dna painting showing in what directions the up-to-date artists of Indiana are turning their talent this year, with all that is new in designs and colorings.

The pure foods, flowers, poultry, workup;- hives of bees-, hom'e utilities and labor-saving machinery will make the Fair teem with interest to women. New County Displays. Tlie first’, evidence the public will have of what the county farm agents ot Indiana have been doing since they began work about two years ago will be at the coming State Fair, which opens Sept. G, when the agents from most of the counties will put on exhibits of their farm products- in the largest open pavilion on the fair grounds. The Studebaker pavilion near the Fine Arts and Horticulture halls, will be entirely occupied by these county displays, and from the demands for space from the county, agents the place will hardly be large enough for their exhibits. This promises to be the greatest exposition of Indiana farm resources ever held, and it will be in addition to the regular displays shown in the Agricultural building. The county agents have along many lines helped* Indiana farms to a higher standard of cultivation, and they will bring together at the coming Fair the evidence of the advanced work the Hoosier farmers are now doing.

State Fair Premiums. The fair offers $7 1,507 in premiums and purses, divided as follows: Speed department, $80,000; horse department, $13,134; cattle, $10,877; sheep, $3,447; swine, $4,651; poultry, $2,354; agriculture, $1,806; horticulture, $2,598; fine arts, $1,792; dairy, $347; boys’ judging contest, $250; corn growing contest, $250.

QUEEN OF SHEBA VISITS SOLOMON

“Wisdom is better than rubies."—Prov. 8:11. IN answer to King Solomon’s prayer for wisdom God gave him wisdom and riches that made him world-famous. By the middle of his rei&n King Solomon had accomplished marvels for nation. Its fame spread to every land. lie war known as the wise king, the peaceful king, the rich king. The visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon was probably about the middle of his reign. She came, it is supposed, a joumey of 1,500 miles, with quite a large retinue of servants and camels and with valuable presents of gold and Arabian perfumes. Our lesson gives the queen’s own statement of her object in coming to see King Solomon, ami of how she found the facts to be more than double all the stories told respecting King Solomon’s wisdom, riches and prosperity.

The Wonders of Solomon. The Temple of the Lord, materials for which his father David had prepared years before, was one of the first marvels, of King Solomon’s reign. Then the king’s palace and the corridor, or ascent which led from his house to the Temple, were marvelous for any time until the wonders of engineering and architecture brought forward during the past century, noted in the Bible as the period of God’s preparation for Messiah’s Kingdom.—Nahum 2:3. Another great engineering feat was cabled tile Bools of Solomon—tile system of water supply for Jerusalem. These pools were connected by covered aqueducts, the first known in histo-

ry. Additionally, he bui I t fortresses throughout his kingdom, and extended its boundaries to the full limits, set by the Lord long .before. (Genesis 15: IS. i Xe a r Joppa (Jaffa) he had a harbor for ships, which is now cut off completely from _ the sea. and, having

. radually till'd up with earth, has becoihe a beautiful ' range grove. But his largest port of entry* was at Tyre- not in bis dominion. He did business through the king of Tyre; arid unitedly their ship* traversed the Red Sea, the Mediterranean, etc., bringing

INDIANA STATE FAIR’S RECORD

It began without a fair ground of its own in 1851. It new has 4 acres of ground, the most valuable in the outIving district of Indianapolis, paid for out of the earnings of the fair. its.prop.erty is owned by the people of the state. It is not a stock cornoi ation. It turns all Of its profits back to the state. It has a clean record with the State Board of Accounts, which has appraised the state fair’s property at $750,000. It has had one building appropriation from the legislature—* SIOO,OOO for the livestock coliseum. The state has, therefore, acquired a $750,000 property but has invested only SIOO,OOO. It has had paid attendance of 679,479 people in the last six years. It has paid nearly $250,000 in cash premiums in the last six years, practically all of it going to Indiana exhibitors. It was organized to further the educational interests of Indiana farmers and it has never deviated frorir this policy. It is managed by the State Board of Agriculture, of sixteen members, who are elected by the officers of county and district fairs. Members of the State Board of Agriculture serve without salary, being paid only a per diem for days actually in service. “ The Board is accountable to the legislature, and cannot sell or incumber the state fair property wdthout the consent of the legislature. The fair has the largest and best appointed coliseum of any state fair. It has the largest and best equipped horse barn in America, with 375 stalls. It has street car, interurban and steam road facilities not equalled by any other state fair or exposition in the United States. Its imperative needs are a machinery pavilion, a women’s building, a cattle barn, a general exposition building, a new poultry building, modern streets and a sewer system. It, needs the enthusiastic support of all the people that it may become a greater force in the upbuilding of Indiana’s farming interests. , ,

BOYS’ JUDGING CONTEST AT STATE FAIR

One of the best educational features the Indiana State Fair offers to the farm Doys of the state is the judging contest, m which the boys show their ability to judge livestock and grains, the awards being free scholarships at ( Purdue University. Since this feature was started some years ago about twenty farm boys have Won and used the Purdue scholarships, and to them has been opened the way to obtain an education along agricultural lines which might not otherwise have been available to them. The boys who do not win scholarships find it worth while to enter the contest, for it gives them opportunity

commerce from all parts or the world and affording facilities for importing goods not produced in Palestine. Thus he became teo rich that figuratively it was said that the precious metals were as common jas stones in Jerusalem. Although busied with these enterprises. King Solomon at heart was loyal to God; and his reign, by the time of the Queen of Sheba’s visit, seems to have been wonderful. Later, satiated with the blessings of life, the king seems to have been less wise, less a man after God’s own heart, and less thoughtful for his people. It is difficult, especially for the poor, to realize how great are the temptations of the rich and the danger that even a wise man may become foolish through the gratification of his every desire. Incidentally. we should not forget King Solomon's literary achievements. He wrote three thousand proverbs and a thousand songs. Surely the Lord did for him all that He had promised. It was this great King Solomon that the Queen of Sheba visited, with presents of gold and spices, desiring to learn to a certainty respecting his won-

her desire, whatsoever she asked; besides which, Solomon gave her of his royal bounty”—a present. "A Greater Than Solomon,” Jesus remarked on this story, and marvelled that there were no more to appreciate Ilimself and Ilis wonderful lessons respecting the Kingdom of God. (Matthew 12:42.) For people to travel a long distance merely to know about the wisdom of God such as King Solomon possessed, would imply that if it were known that a still wiser One could be conferred with. He would be sought; and if it should be known that this wiser One was heir to the world and was seeking a ■Bride, how many might lie expected to; hasten to Him and a -ccpt t'u- •-enereu:- proposal! - This is: exactly the cmuiitiOn of things.

The number of farm boys in the contest increases from year to year, and they inspect the same stock and grains that the regular judges pass upon., Four scholarships will be awarded at the coming Fair, the contest to be held on Tuesday, Sept. 7, under the general direction of Prof. G. I. Christie, of Purdue University. It is open to all Indiana boys of 16 to 20 years of age who have not attended an agricultural college. Applications for entry blanks should be sent to Charles Downing, secretary of the State Fair, Indianapolis.
