One of the bost educational features the Indiana Siata Fair offers to the farm ooys of the fcte is the judpinp: contest, in which tb boys show their ability to judge livactock 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 tho Purdue scholarships, and to them has be.n opened the way to obtain an education along agricultural lines which mip:ht not otherwise have been available to them. The boy who do not win scholar-i-hip find it worth while to enter the contest, for it gives them opportunity

closely to inspect the high grade stock and farm products at the Fair. 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.

INDIANA STATE FAIR'S RECORD It began without a fair ground of its own in 1851. Tt now has 214 acres of ground, the most valuable in the outlying district of Indianapolis, paid for out. of the earnings of the fair. Its property is owned by the people of the state. It is not a stock corporation. 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 $100,000 for the livestock coliseum. The state has, therefore, acquired a ,$750,000 property but has invested oniy $100,000. 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 from 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 tate Board of Agriculture serve without salary) uefng paid only a per diem for days actuallydn service. The Board is accountable to the legislature, and cannot sell or incumber the state fair property without 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 rn 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 bam, 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.

In the fine art division there are eleven departments, each of which will overflow with the clever work of Indiana women crochet and knitted work, hand made lace and embroidery, hand sewing, fancy work, photography, craftsmanship in-wood, leather and brass, paintings and drawings. One of the great features of the art department will be the lavish display of china 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.

LABOR DAY AT INDIANA FAIR

Labor Day, Sept. 6, is going to be one of chief importance at the Indiana fair. It is the only day when many toilers can take the time to see the exposition, and the management has arranged a great bill of attractions for them. Ruth Law, the greatest woman biplane flyer, will give spectacular flights followed by a parachute leap by George Maryland. A high class vaudeville bill. A clean carnival show. Four harness events will make up a strong racing card. Concerts by the Weber and Indianapolis Military bands will be given. The night horse show, with Weber's

The s oi the earth can be compared IN top of a barrel of asphait, hard and rigid through ond through, smimotl and cracked on the surface bv the eement. For ten miles in a straight line below the surface the earth is probably dry and hard, of a rock substance. Tho pressure of this substance upon the heated center of the earth keeps it from getting hotter than it is, just as you can keep water from boiling b' an appropriaf ely sufficient pressure. The fact that there is eteam in volcanic eruptions is the leakago of the interior pressure of heat in the earth. The character of matter in the center of the earth or its immediate environment must bo something like pumice stone spongy,

Obnoxious Laws

By James G. Kelly Contempt for law is characteristic of the American people? Petty legislation, as a rule, is respected to the extent with which it conforms with the popular sense of justice. Disregard for law becomes more and more pronounced as the succeeding bodies of law-makers write volumes of statutes, a practice which the people tolerate because they do not propose that they shall be seriously affected thereby.

Glass Polishing. Glass grinding is ellected by the use of emery powder of various degrees of fineness. But it has been shown that this grinding cannot be carried beyond a certain point, however fine a powder may be used. In fact, a continuation of it undoes tho work and breaks the surface up again. The most finely grouna plate, if largely magnified, is shown to be covered with tiny bits which no grinding will remove. The work is therefore continued with rouge carried on a pad of rosin, which

veins and arteries so supple and free running that there can be no clogging up, and hence there is no deposit of chalky matter around the joints or of poisonous waste in the muscles. It is the stiffening and hardening of the blood vessels which bring on old age. Buttermilk is likely to postpone it ten oi twenty j-ears if freely drunk. A quart a day should be the minimum, the maximum according tc taste and opportunity. An Introduction. Harry was walking with anothei boy when he was joined by a friend

I upon the part of ä legislator, especially when such support may

mean votes ror his own pet scheme or may mean political support from some set of faddists. Our disrespect for law has, in fact, been the inspiration for myriads of new laws which are made only to be openly violated. A recent and growing sentiment for less legislation and more law observance is a hopeful indication. Such a reform might work a hardship on the professional faddists, but in the end it would insure content and justice for the masses. It may be impossible to respect certain legislation, but it is possible, and also important, to enforce and observe the rery laws which are most obnoxious. Once the people are inconvenienced by an undesirable statute, they will be quick to demand its repeal. Adv.
