As a demonstration of the most economical types of farm animals it will be an extremely efficient feature.

AGRICULTURE. — Approximately forty county exhibits, each one telling a vivid o spo::y about the local resources, will be ar- | tistically grouped in the “Big Dome” Build- | ing. A large number of samples of all the grains grown in Minnesota will be shown. The corn show will be much larger than ever before, due largely to the work of the boys taking part in the state acre-yield corn ~ contest. FRUITS, FLOWERS AND VEGETABLES. —An immense commercial apple display will feature the fruit show this year. Other fruits will be shown in profusion. Thou- sands of dollars worth of beautiful plants and flowers will be exhibited. As Minne- sota has always been noted for the size and quantity of its vegetables, little need be said of this display, save that considerable premium money has been laid aside for them.

Veteran ring men can’t see Packoy's chances at all.- They base their as- sertion that the Stockyards wonder is in for a lacing on the fact that no boxer ever has come back, and on the fact that Packey hasn’t been boxing very much in the past two years, whereas the Shadowlike Mike has been fighting pretty steadily in that time. ‘A man can’t fight unless he’s bean fighting,” said an old ring man to- day. “It doesn’t take two years for a man to lose his judgment of dis- tance and his hitting eye when he’s not in-the ring. Didn’t-I sit in Car- son City and see Bob Fitzsimmons put the old smack on Jim Corbett, simply because Fitz had been fight- ing for two years steadily, whilé Jim had been idling? Bitz’s condition ‘wasn’t any better than Jim’s, but his eyes were. ‘““‘Again, Packey is going to meet a man in Mike who is at the zenith of his power. The St. Paul lad has been coming up for six years and he’s now at the top of his career. Packey was at the top of his when he left the ring. “Yes, we’ll admit that Packey has lived a mighty clean life. He hasn’t boozed, nor smoked, nor any of that stuff. Neither have a lot of other young chaps, but they couldn’t stand 10 rounds of Mike Gibbons’ game at that. serap anyhow, ain’t she?” That’s what all New York thinks —that ‘“‘she’s going to be a bird of a scrap.” : A Hint to the Wise is Sufficient.

There Were. rumors 'that on account of popular disapproval of expense for old strike cases the indictments might eventual- ly be quashed. ' Although the famous Colorado la- bor war was'settled nearly a year ago, the prosecution of union mem- riots continues. A strong popular movement is under way in the state to clean the slate of these thousand or more strike cases. The unions charge that the prosecution is one- sided and demand the indictment of operators and mine guards respon- ers’ side; especially at Ludlow. The men on trial here today were: ‘W. T. Hickey, secretary of the State Federation of Labor; John O’Connor, president of the Louisville local; F. J. Potestio, secretary of the Louis- ville local; Jack Cassidy, president of the Lafayette local, and Edward T. Doyle, secretary-treasurer of the strikers’ union for the district.
