The Wisconsin State Fair has shown an increase of sixty-five per cent in attendance in three years. Why? During the past three years grounds, buildings and other equipment have been added to, and, still more important, every department has been improved, and new departments and features have been added, bringing the great Exposition right up to date. In 1917 the Wisconsin State Fair took its place among the Class A expositions of America, which means that as a well balanced, educational institution it ranked with the best in America. GOVERNOR ON THE FAIR. 42 42- 42 42 42 42 2 fl Gov.

E. L. Philipp has spent '42 several days at each of the last 4 three st2te fairs. He says: 4 Those actively engaged in production in Wisconsin especial- ly cannot afford to miss our-J mammoth annua? State Fair, and 2 I urge all citizens of the State who possibly can do so to attend this years exposition because of the beneficial educational results 42 to be obtained from this model state initution. Those who have seen it during the' past three years need no urging to avail 42 themselves of this opportunity for inspiration.

42 42 42 42 42 There are other expositions of magnitude notably the Texas and Minnesota State Fairs but none Is better balanced or excels in class, and few are equal from the point of view of keeping stride with educational progress. Because of the improvement during the past three years in the Wisconsin State Fair, citizens of Wisconsin are again giving the great Exposition their confidence and patronage. Strong Live Stock Exhibits. What special features will the Wisconsin State Fair of 1918 offer? All basic departments of the State Fair, of which there are thirty-two, will be as strong as it is possible to make them. The cattle, swine and sheep divisions will not only present mammoth arrays, but quality will be improved.

This will be especially true of the cattle department, for at least three champion herds never before seen in Wisconsin will be present this year. The 1917 poultry show was most highly recommended, yet the 1918 poultry show will far surpass that of 1917. Premiums offered for live stock and poultry are: Horses, cat tle, sheep, swine, poultry, $4,302.00. -Because of the great gains made by motor driven vehicles, horse departments at all fairs have suffered. This ought not to be the case this year, for the future of the horse breeding industry was never brighter.

In the dak bungalow at Kwala Knbu (in Malayasia) the Chinaboy chowki-dar, queue in pocket, shod in shoes of As I devoured the pitiful little birds, bohes a ad all, I looked up at the great Malay mountain range, the backbone of the finger peninsula which stretches southward from Siam to within sight of the bund of Singapore itself. Mountains, so the Malays say, are the wall of the world, shutting out great winds and beasts of prey. And they believe that a strange race the Yajuj are forever striving to bore through, and when they succeed, then will come the end of all things. The great limestone caves scattered throughout the mountains are places where the Yajuj have attempted and failed.

There is nothing impossible or unbelievable in all this, when one comes to know Malay mountains in all their weirdness. William Beebe, in. I the Atlantic Monthly, RUDE AWAKENING FOR GUEST Visiting Parson Got the "Dusting That Irate Father Intended to Bestow on Offspring. A story of how a parson got the dusting instead of a youth Is related by a newspaper man of Wenatchee, Wash. The boy In' the plot wfis Oscar Woods," he says.

It happened in Nebraska. In our home it was the custom for one of the boys to take his turn at starting the fire on cold mornings. It was -15 degrees below zero, and it was Oscars turn. He lit the fire and then proceeded to the barn to feed the stock. But the fire went out.

An hour later, perceiving that there was no fire, father sent another call, louder. Then several more. But nc sound came. The governor started upstairs. Without Informing the head of the kse er ha( brought home PUt him in the same bed with Oscar.

The parson had a thrilling awakening. He was yanked out of bed. He resisted. This was too much for Indignant dad. The conflict was exciting.

The preacher fought like a wildcat. In the cold gray dawn dad found that he had made a mistake. It was tough, but the preacher survived, the minor earthquakes. In fact, our so-called firm earth can be said to be In a state of perpetual agitation. Our senses do not perceive the slight disturbances, but the seismograph, a very delicate and ingenious apparatus devised to keep track of them, furnishes all the information denied to us by our natural Insensibility.

They often furnish us too much of it in the excess of their zeal, recording sometimes as seismic phenomena vibrations that latr proved to have been due to the ringing of church bells. Privileges of the Poor. Will you show me any other people outside of the fairy books who can put the most fearful calamity on like a cloak and doff it at will, who can augment their families to seven or eight children overnight, and reduce them as readily to five or six on the following day if It but seem to them advisable? Where outside their ranks is there anyone capable of persuading you that it is a privilege to sleep cold so that some Darius you never saw or care to see shall, he had his allegorical mule, go better warmed? Who else, being neither of your kith nor kin, has such powder over you that, with a mere bloodshot eye and shiver of the shoulders, they can turn your automobile, your furs, your warmth and all your pleasant pleasures into Dead sea apples of discomfort?

They were called beaux in the days of Queen Anne and the earlier Georges, fops and sparks being scornful synonyms. In the latter half of the eighteenth century these fashionable fops were known as macaronis, and the dandies may be said to have come in during the regency. STATE FAIR The Boya and Girls Department will take a tremendous leap forward this year. A feature will be the work of t'n demonstration teams brought from as many sections of the state, the expenses of which are paid by the State Fair.

The Dairy department again will present an exhibit worthy of the greatest dairy state in the Union. The Womens Work department will be resplendent with exhibits along war work lines. The Educational department, last year almost too large for the Educational building, will be even of larger magnitude this year. The Bees and Honey department will occupy new quarters and will show a decided gain in magnitude. Aid to War the Keynote.

Every department and every feature of each department will this yeai tend to be of special service to Uncle Sam along war aid lines. When the classifications were arranged this departure was kept in mind. Not only in this period of war is increased production of essentials nec-essary but producers must be aided as far as possible in producing substitutes for those supplies demanded for the support of the American armies and their Allies in Europe. That the big expositions of America are invaluable for reaching the pro-, ducers is a fact recognized by the American and Canadian Governments early in the war period, and that is why both Governments are strongly co-operating with their agricultural fairs. Records for 1917 show that over attended fairs in the United States alone, and among those who attended the fairs were a large percentage of producers of America.

The United States Department, of Agriculture is sending to the Wisconsin State Fair this year an exhibit that will occupy over 5,000 square feet of space with educational features. A Hoover exhibit occupying as much space is being prepared under direc-' tion of Mr. Hoovers department. i NO WAR TAX ON FAIRS. The U.

S. Government finds Fairs and Expositions of Ameri- ca of such invaluable aid along educational and inspirational .42 lines that it levies no war tax on admissions to fairs or to attrac- tions at fairs. The U. S. Government also re- 42 turns exhibits free of charge.

By way of showing its great appreciation of the value of fairs the Federal Government exempts fairs and their exhibits from all war taxes, and it also returns exhibits to fairs free. Why Patronize a Fair? Nowhere in America can so much along educational and inspirational lines be obtained at so sihall an outlay as can be obtained at any of Americas worth-while fairs. date educational and every department is full of inspiration for those interested. No 1918 fair will present a better array of tractors and machinery than will be seen at the Wisconsin State All of the space in machinery row and in the tractor section was taken before June 15.

Twenty-six tractor companies will make exhibits and also demonstrate in the immediate vicinity of the fair grounds. Scarcity of labor is a serious problem to producers. In Machinery row will be shown the products of inventive genius and manufacture along agricultural lines that will take the place of the farm hand now doing his bit on the western front. Every co-operation is given makers of machinery in providing displays that will he worth a journey from any corner of Wisconsin.

Features of County Exhibits. In the department of farm crops and county exhibits there will be an unusual display by several counties. A number of Wisconsin counties are noted for live stock. Several of them are arranging to make live stock exhibits by counties, the exhibits competing in the regular classifications for live stock.

These exhibits will be segregated and advertised for the benefit of the counties making them. This department also will present exhibits tending to exemplify up-to-date land clearing and farming. The department of horticulture and plants and flowers will not only present greatly augmented exhibits, but the building occupied by this department will be resplendent in floral and plant decorations provided by florists of Milwaukee.
