For years past the women and chil- drer have done their share to make the Minnesota State Fair the success it has been, but this year, possibly due to war conditions, they will be called upon, as has everybody else, to put forth extra efforts to make con- ditions as near normal as possible. Because of a shortage of materials for the manufacture of high grade clothing it has become necessary for manufacturers to turn their attention to other materials besides pure wool- ens and other fabrics, which, before the war, were easily obtainable. Big Style Show. For some time past the women who will have charge of the exhibits in the women's department have been busily engaged planning the affairs and, while definite plans have not been announced as yet it is certain that among other things to be seen in the women’s building will be a style show, which will eclipse anything of the kind yet attempted at the Minnesota State Fair. Living models will be used to display the very latest styles. Plain sewing will be giver special attention this year. This feature is particularly important because the war has brought about conditions that bave necessitated doing away with v Interest Many. frills and fancy things and has re- placed them with the simpler and plainer wearables. Demonstrations will be held along the lime of how to do ] iin sewing and how to utilize differer: materials which will come into more common use as time goes on. Boys’ and Girls’ Camps. In the children’s department there will be many features of interest. Among these will be the camp for farm boys and also one for girls. Winners in last year's contests for farm boys in raising pigs, corn and potatoes will contest for honors at the fair. They will make up the farm boys’ camp and during the week will live right on the fair grounds. Great rivalry is_said to exist this year and it is expected the judges will have more difficulty in selecting the winners than for some time. The girls, who will contest in bread- making and canning, will also have their share of attention. These girls have already beenr selected in the va- rious counties, where they have won prizes and this year, with government officials present, they will doubtless outdo themselves to produce the best possible results. The giris will be quartered at the BState Agricultural School near the Fair Grounds. Besides these contests there will al 80 be the annual spelling contest open to both boys and girls, by which the champion speller of the state will be determined. This comtest, too, has al- ways attracted lots of attention and this year will be no exception. _I 1918 deliveries. mation. Telephone 474 TOURING CAR......

How are you? Haven't seen you in the garden for quite a time. You never come to see me and the wife now. How is that?”’ “Well,” was the feeling reply of Jen- kins, “the fact is, old chap, that you and your missus have borrowed so many things from me that when I see your place it makes me feel quite homesick.”—London Telegraph. (Natlonal Crop Tmprovement Rervies.] Starchy feeds like corn and ,oats often sell as high as protein feeds be- cause of the demand for them for horses and other work animals. Starchy feeds are also good to fatten steers. That is why they are often as high in price as dairy feeds, which are strong in protein. [Nationa) Crop Improvement Bervics.} Home-grown grains can often be prof- ftably traded for protein feeds.

The lizard spider (Melus mygale) is the largest species of venomous spider known. He is of a bright yellow color with three red stripes on his back and a crescent of pure black on the abdo- men. Full grown specimens of the lizard spider (so called because his chief food is small lizards, frogs, etc.) measure four inches across the back end have legs ten inches long. Four full grown males collected by a Brit- ish exploring expedition weighed one pound four ounces. This giant of the spider family is a native of Ceylon.
