The Dairy C»ttle Congress will again be held at Dairy Show (Park which is a beautiful 40 acre tract ly ing along the banks of the Cedar riv er. It is located on the Waterloo-Ce dar Falls street railway, and is but a ten minute ride from the heart of the business section of Waterloo thus making it convenient to the hotels, as well as the homes of the residents of Waterloo, which will be thrown open to accommodate the visitors during the week of the show. Unlike the other shows of a similar nature, the Dairy Cattle Congress will not be held entirely under one roof. An ex hibit hall, 129x212 feet, is to be used exclusively for machinery and manu factured products. In addition to this extensive interior space, the grounds,' which are well drained and covered with a thick turf, offer 100 000 square feet for the exhibitors of large machinery. The judging arena, where a cattle judging and other prin cipal attractions of the Cattle Con gress proper will be held, is 100x200 feet. It is supplied with spacious galleries for spectators, and those in terested in the educational features of the show. Adjoining the parage ground is located the mammoth new cattle pavilion, which is the first building of its kind specifically built for housing the cattle at a dairy show. This great barn is 120x200 feet and will comfortably house 530 cattle. URGE SHOWING OF DAIRY STOCK AT WATERLOO The showing of high quality dairy cattle will be just as large this year as ever before. Many requests for premium lista from the, middle west ern states indicate tjiat this section will be more largely represented than in*previous years. The smaller herds of Iowa will also compete in the show ring this fall in larger numbers than last year. Undoubtedly when the show opens there will be a larger number of dairy cattle representing the Mississippi valley than have ever before been as sembled in the show ring. The pre mium list which has just been pub lished includes cash prizes given by the show proper which total -f6,500. fn addition to this liberal offering the cattle clubs and breeders' associations have supplemented cash prizes, cups and special trophies with a total valu ation of more than $3,000. In order make the show high class in every respect, the manage ment has been compelled to limit the premiums offered to the five great breeds of dairy cattle, viz., the Guern seys, Jerseys, Holstelns, Ayrshires and Brown Swiss. The premiums for each of these breeds have been made very large, and for this reason, together with the general good fellowship de veloped among the exhibitors of cat tle at the^coiigress last year, promises to make this show a center for all dairy cattle exhibitors. The show also comes at a time this year which does not conflict with the dates of any similar exhibition, and occurs just after the principal state fair circuits have been completed. It immediately follows the Illinois State Fair at Springfield and just precedes the Roy al £tock Show at Kansas City. Spe cial trains will carry the cattle on this circuit thus furnishing the best accommodations at all Times!" Many of the larger herds that will' be shown at the Dairy Cattle Congress will also compete for prizes at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. Those who attend will therefore have an op portunity to see the majority of the dairy animala which will be on exhibi tion at the world's fair. Those who wish to secure good young foundation animals to estab lish a dairy herd will find the dairy show an exceptional opportunity this year. Hundreds of animals will be available for inspection and a trip to Waterloo will enable the prospective buyer to see as many animals in a few dWys as he could see by travel ing from farm to farm in a month. In addition he would have the advant age of comparing the various breeds, conferring directly with the breeders and seeing the cattle judged. IOWA'S GREATEST PURE FOOD SHOW AT WATERLOO The great concerted agitation in America at the present time for the production of pure foods will be em phasized at the Pure Food Show which the Waterloo Retail Merchants' As sociation will conduct in conjunction with the Dairy Cattle Congress Sept. 27th to Oct. 3rd. All of the large na tional manufacturers of food will be represented with attractive bobths in which demonstrations of their prod ucts will be made. More than 5,000 square feet of floor space will be used exclusively for this exhibit. All booths will be elaborately decorated and thousands of samples given away each day. This part of the show is being held especially for the benefit of the la dies. Domestic science lectures and demonstrations will be given by rep resentatives of Iowa State College. These programs will be held in a spe cially constructed building near the exhibit hall. Comfortable seats will be furnished to accommodate all who attend and this building made the headquarters for the visiting ladies and their children. Monkey Surgery.

Photo by American Press Association. According to Hugh Jennings, man ager of the Detroit American league baseball team, Eddie Foster, third baseman of the Washington Senators. Is the only reliable hit and run batter la the American league. Jennings states that Ty Cobb Is the greatest hit ter the game has ever known, but be is no hit and run batter, for the reason he has not given it any attention to speak of. "The tendency of all the would be hit and run batters Is to hit the ball as hard as they can and trust to luck to It going safely," says Jen nings. "The true hit and runner like Foster, however, has the knack of just meeting the ball and making a real ef fort to bit it through the territory va cated by the fielder,-who goes to cover the base. He is easily the greatest hit and run player In the American league." Question Tatter's Record. Considerable controversy has devel oped in track and field circles as to the propriety of accepting the new world's record of 4 minutes, 12 3-5 seconds for the mile run, made by Norman Taber in the Harvard stadium on July 17. The contention of the objectors to ac cepting the figures is that the time was made in a special trial and not in a race in the true sense of the word. Few followers of athletics reali£fe the difficulty of finding a field and condi tions that will give a runner of Taber's type the opportunity to break such a record even though he has the ability. In the race in which W. G. George of England established the world's rec ord that Taber broke the English pro fessional had as bis opponent in the match contest at Lillfebrfdge, London, Billy Cummlngs, a runner of almost equal ability. It can be seen, there fore, that it Is seldom that a group of runners of sufficient speed can be gath ered under perfect racing conditions to warrant expectations of reducing rec ords which have reached the point where the mile figures are today. A Bat of Ancient Lineage. George Perring, the hard hitting ln flelder of the Kansas City Feds, uses a bat that is more than thirty years old and which came originally from a prison scaffold that was the scene of many hangings. Perring's father was a base bailer. "When lit the heyday of his career the scaffold in the Ohio state prison was dismantled the older Perring got a piece of it—a hickory Joist—and had It carved down Into the size of a baseball bat. Fot twenty years he used that bat. and it produced a large flock of hits. Seven years ago the father gave the bat to the son, and the son has been using it ever since. Perring never allows any one to carry around the bat for him. He takes It blmself in a special case. Lucky Golf Shots. Holes In one are being made fre quently these days. Howard F. Whit ney, secretary of the United States Golf association, played recently on the St. Regis course. In the Adiron dacks. He bad only a couple of bor rowed clubs, yet from the ninth toe be holed a full inidiron shot for a one. This hole is 178 yards long. In a match the other day at Pocono Manor E. W. Loos defeated A. J. Elphick. the Shawnee professional, 2 up and 1 to play. Loos got a 71, but the best part of the round was the making of the 225 yard eighth hole in a single stroke In June, while practicing for the open championship at Baltusrol. Loos made the third hole In a single stroke. Marathon at San Francisco. The Olympic Marathon nice, full course, will be held at San Franeisco Saturday, Aug. 28, according to an nouncement by the athletic commis sion of the Panama-Pacific exposition.

Did you ever have magic sand In your possession? Except for the color It looks like very ordinary sand, does It not? While making this remark the con jurer shows the audience that he has sand of three different colors In the three little bags on the table before him. There Is also a bowl of water on the table. The conjurer then empties the sand from each bag Into the water and stirs It up thoroughly with his band. "Now, my friends, I am about to take a handful of sand out of this mixture. Which one of the three colors shall I take out first?" Some one says he would like to have him take out a handful of the blue sand. "You say the blue sand? Very well." you answer. Whereupon you put your hand to the basin, take out some- sand, squeeze It as though you were, trying to dry it and show the audience the handful of blifis sand. After the magician has taken out a handful of each of the three colors to deepen the mystery one of. the audience should try for them selves. They, of course, fail. The au dience Is completely baffled. Here Is how the trick is done: Dye ordinary silver sand three differ ent colors. Then prepare a small quan tity of each color by^charring over the fire in a pan. with a small piece of tal low or candle war. Press them Into three different molds. Have one round for Instance, one square and the other oblong. Put a little cake in each of three little bags with some of the unprepared sand of the same color. Be careful wfcen emptying the sand into the water that the cakes are not noticed by the audience. When some one expresses Jhls desire for a certain color there will be no danger of pick ing up the wrong one If you remember the shape of each of the colored cakes. Muaio and Animals. Mandatories are told of the power of music over animals. A story is tolil of a circus tent which caught fire. A frightened lion escaped from Ills cage.
