FEEDING LIVESTOCK * BIG FAIR PROBLEM Moro Than 250 Tons Hay and Straw and 25 Tons Grain - Needed for “Eats” Over 250 tons of straw and hay, and 26 tons of grain and mill feed, will be needed to provide “eats” for the hosese, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry at the Minnesota State Fair, Sept 4 to 11. No exhibitor of stock is to be per- mitted to bring any feed for his ani- ‘mals to the Fair this year. It must all be bought of forage department. The piling up of hay and grain In big piles in all the barns so increases the fire”hazard as to make the policy a dangerous one. It also takes up lots of valuabe exhibit space.. 1he fair will sell all its feed on a cost basis, and rigidly enforce a standardized scale of prices for everything. The sugar shortage is going to work a real hardship upon the live- stock at the fair this season. Up to this year, wheneve™ a herd has “gone off its feed,” it has been the custom for the owner to buy-a hun- dred pounds or so of brown sugar-of the forage department for use as an “appetizer.” There will be no brown sugar for sale this year. Sugar beets are to be sold as a possible substitute. Taft's Unique Walking Stick. Former President Taft owns a walh ing stick that 1s-250,000 years old When Prof. W. S. Foster of Spokane was Investigating the geological his- tory of southern Alberta a few years ago he discovered a stump in a peat bed amid glacial drift in the valley of 0Old Man river. The age of the stump was estimated by geologists at a quar- ter of a million years. Professor Foster took the stump, home to Seattle with other souvenirs of the glacial epoch and when tne Spokane people on one of Mr. Taft's visits wanted to give him a unique present they had ‘a cane fashioned from the wood. " THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER FAMOUS GRAVEYARD TOWN MAY CENSOR EPITAPHS “Here lies the body of Mary Ann Lowder, She burst while drinking a seidlits powder, Called from this world to her heay- enly rest She should-have waited till it effer- vesced.” Leighton .Buzzard, England. Mail.)—Tombstones in the tiny se- cluded church yards of this old-world place abound with epitaphs like the above, and 1t is felt that in bygone days the rollicking country yokels buried their best beloveds with far too much mirth and levity. The town clerk of Leighton Buz- zard has been asked to confer ‘with the chairman of the burial board with a view to censoring epitaphs. Hitherto the stonemason -nas carved the tombstone faithfully ‘‘according to copy,’ 'regardless of spelling and grammar, as evidenced by the fol- lowing: “Sacred to the memory of John Wardle and-his wife and five chil- dren all of who passed away in their infancy”’. Others, true, are philosophical without undue emotional display. The following masterpiece is traced on the-tombstone of a long-deceuod. innkeeper: “Qur life is but a vlntner's day, Some only breakfast and away, Ou']e;s to dinner stay and are full e The oldest man but sups and soes to bed Large is Lis debt who lingers ou! the day, Who goes the soonest has the least to pay.” It is difficult to find a tombstone in Leighton Buzzard with a scriptur- al epitaph. The old, old grey stones, leaning against each other for sup- port, depict the gamut of human emo- tions, from the sanctimonious to the burlesque, but none of them have borrowed words of comfort from Mat- thew, Mark, Luke or John. However, the town clerk has ord-|~ ered a new office Bible, the chairman of the burial board is polishing up his scriptural quotations ana Leigh- ton Buzzard will have to leurn to be orthudox THE UNIVERSAL CAR The simplicity of the Ford car, its stability famous heat treated Vanadium_ steel with its' marvelous strength and flexibility, the low cost of operation and " maintenance, its ease, in operation, all- have Tat favorite in every e in construction, the ~made the Ford car the > land-in the world.

Running water, with individual buckets, will be provided for every tier of stalls. Mammoth conduits provide improved sewerage tacilities, insuring perfect sanitation.

The cattle department of the State Fair is offering premiums totaling "$20,760 for this year’s winmers. The new barn, with thie 1,000 nead of show cattle to be exhibited there, will be one of the most interesting and impressive sights to be seen at the Falr. “1000 CLUB” HAS UNIQUE PURPOSE p *“No mystery about our school’s 1000 Club’,” says F.
