It remains to be seen whether the big apple crop will reduco the price of pure cider vinegar. Connecticut has a college professor who is living on 26 cents a week. Peanet batter is his strong card. Now Xew England women are working on farms. You never can tell what will happen around Boston. Cleveland doesn't care bow many h's Pittsburgh adds as long as sho doesn't add any populous suburbs. The 22-year-old carp that let itself be caught in Illinois must havo wanted powerful bad to become a salmon. American men should prevent women from entering business life, says a Chicago doctor. Sounds nice, bat bowt A serious shortage in the mint crop Is reported. Let's see. did we stick that gum on the chair or under the table? There are evidences that the katydid knere- what It was talking about when it began to prophesy a few weeks ago. A Missouri a pel j grower has sold the apples In bis orchard for $10.Q0. And yet wise men continue to Invest in oil stock. Frenzied financiers have turned their attestioa to bottled sua shine. Perhaps the stock was aired Instead of watered. A Brooklyn tailor went mad the other day and slashed at people. Fortunately he did not become as mad as a mad hatter. A Chicago man claims to have lived for a year In Indianapolis on 5S2.SS.

The problem of how to prevent a rooster from crowing Is puzzling Chicago authorities. Why not equip each and every rooster with a Maxlo silencer? Some of us arc prone to disagree with the New York Judge who holds that ten days Is long enough for a mother-in-law's visit. Tea days Is nine days too lone. Three men have succeeded In crossing the ocean in a niaeteen-foot boat, but why sail in a nineteen-foot boat when there are so many comfortable ocean liners running? We are told that there are only two people In Chicago who know how to eat artichokes. We are perfectly willing to give them our share of the world's supply of artichokes.

FAIR'S RECEIPTS LOWER TUM 1910

ERROR IN LAST YEAR'S ATTENDANCE RECORD, SAVS SECRETARY DOWNING. SEEK ACCURACY IN FUTURE Attendance This Year as Registered by Machines Was 142,745 Total " Receipts of Fair From All Sources, $31.109.50. Indianapolis. Pinal figures of attendance and gat receipts at the. 1911 state fair Indicates that tho ofllclals made errors in computing the attendance last year. At the office of Chariots Downing, secretary of the state board of agriculture. It was said daily computations wero made of the attendance figures. This year the attondnnce was registered by machines and the actunl attendance was 1-12.7 IG. or approximately 9,500 more than tho figures show for last year. But the 1011 gate receipts were $5,3:5.50. or $5,699 less than the receipts for last year. The computations last year were made daily by Jasper LaGrango. treasurer of the fair. Mr. Downlag said that, in view of the accurate records of this year, it was evident that an error had been made In cotnpating tho atendance a year ago. and fewer people were reported than actually visited the grounds. The turnstiles installed this year will be retained, and from this year on the figures will be accurate. Tho total receipts of the fair this year from all sources were JSl.109.50. The total expenses have not been computed, but Mr. Downing said the expenses of tho fair would be less than the receipts. Improvements, such as a water system and the turnstiles, will more than eat up the balance, ho seid. Escape Tax Law Penalties. Several Indiana corporations which bare failed to pay the federal corporation tax will not bo forced to pay the penalty ranging from $1,000 to $10.000 as provided by the law. The internal revenue collectors of the state have been notified to arrange for the compromises wiUt the delinquent corporations. It is stated, however, that no amount less than ten dollars 13 to be accepted as a compromise, and it is believed that tho effect of the notice will result in many settlements at that amount The compromises will not be made by the revenue officials. Instead, tho sum of ten dollars will be forwarded to tho treasury department in Instances where corporations pay the amount. The adequacy of tho ! amount will be determined by the de partment. New Forms Aid Balances. Nicholas Volz, auditor of Ripley county, has established a record in making monthly balances in his offices as a result of the Introduction of the new forms prescribed by the state board of accounts, according to a report received by W.

A falluro at first makes us esteem final success.

Wo had hoard from our neighbors, and In fnct overy ono who used It, how well they liked it. "Well, tho next morning Mother browed It about five minutes, Just as sho hnd been in tho habit of doing rrith coffco without paying special attention to tho directions printed on tho package. It looked weak and didn't have a vory promising color, but nevertheless father raised his cup with an air of oxceptancy. It certainly did glvo him a great surprise, but I'm afraid It wasn't a very pleasant ono, for ho put down his cup with a look of disgust Mother wasn't discouraged though, and next morning gave It nnother trial, lotting It stand on tho stove till boiling began arid then lotting it boll for fifteen or twenty minutes, and this tlmo wo were all so pleased with It that wo havo used it over sluco. "Father was a confirmed dyspeptic and a cup of coffee was to him like poison. So ho never drinks it any more, but drinks Postum regularly.
