FARMERS ARE READY BUYERS Everything Worthy of Interest In the Motor World Will Be on Display and Visitors Will Find Things In Convenient Form. Lansing. Of all the big exhibitions to be seen at the Michigan state fair this year perhaps the most educational and the one which will strike popular approval hardest will be the Immense automobile show to be held in the new automobile building of nearly 70, 000 square feet. Automobile manufacturers, when automobile shows first came into vogue, had it in mind to make them instructive but In order to Qmplish this they had to have an intelligent and widespread interest on the part of the public. It took years and years of hard work to arouse the interest to its present pitch, bu now nearly everyone, and surely everyone who will attend the fair is interested in automobiles. Among the farmers and residents of small towns and villages the automo bile dealers and agents find their readiest market. Perhaps it is be cause of the worth of the automobile as a time and money-Baver or Its use as a recreative agent that the motor car is so popular among the people outside of the large cities. Everything worthy of Interest In the motor world will be on display, and visitors will find things arranged In the most convenient form to permit of their imbibing the. Information the "dope" on the new 1911 models. Cars of all prices, all styles, all makes, will bo seen.

Halght of Muskegon, conceived the idea that 3,000,000 acres of waste land in the state of Michigan, commonly called the pine barrens, could be reclaimed for agricultural purposes. Mr. Halght is well known as a director In Olivet college and will be remembered In connection with the Halght Agricul tural school. He instituted this school for the purpose of testing the pro ductive quality of the sand barrens and also to give many homeless Im migrants a chance to gain a practical knowledge of tilling the soil, besides acquiring a certain command of the English, language. He attempted to interest the state agricultural college In experiments which he wished to try out on the waste lands In Muske gon county, but secured no support, even after he had offered to pay the entire cost of the experiment. He had in his heart the love of making things grow and began to study the peculiar conditions of this soil, to experiment with a large number of plants, grown all the way from Canada to South America, in hopes that he might discover some thing especially adapted to these shifting sands. He was ridiculed and much fun was made of the city farmer by his fel low citizens and the knowing agricul turists. But he continued to work and experiment, and to a recent vis itor at the Halght farm it appeared as though the impossible bad been ac complished. After having traveled almost over the entire state and seen many fields of corn, It was not expected that on this land, surrounded with oak grubs and pine stumps, which are every where In view, such a field of corn could be produced. It was Just be ginning to tassel out and. in spite of the five weeks' drought, it was eight to nine feet tall. At Work on Petitions. Augmcmea oy a large curps ui i clerks from the auditor general's and land commissioner's departments, the staff of the state department is ma king a desperate effort to get the pri mary election petitions checked and counted in time to allow for the print ing of the ballots. Secretary of State Martindale and Deputy Mills are de voting their entire attention to the matter, but they both fear that they are leading a forlorn hope. Just what will be done in the contingency that all the petitions cannot be gone over has not been determined. Secretary A. R. Canfield of the Democratic state central committee unloaded a great big batch of peti tions for Lawton T. Hemans for gov ernor at the office and announced that another consignment nrrived. Other big batches arrived, and while the bars were put up, it is apparent that by that time the office will be stacked full. Twenty clerks were sent over by Auditor General Fuller and a number by Deputy Land Commissioner Carton. These trained office workers are pro ving a great aid to the state depart ment force, but even at that it is con sidered a question whether the check can be completed and the certificates prepared in time to allow for the printing of the ballots. Ask Teddy to State Fair. Will Roosevelt attend tho coming state fair?" That's the question paramount around state fair headquarters in tho Bowles building. An Invitation has been extended and this has been backed by a mon ster petition which, when completed, will contain over 150,000 names ol prominent men and farmers of tho state. No answer ha3 been received as yet but it is expected soon. The stato grange, through the ef forts of Grand Master N. P. Hall, was the first organization to come across with its petition. Over 42.000 names are attached to this first peti tion, and others have been circulating for some time among the Masonic and other fraternal orders. These, It Is conservatively estimated, will num ber 100,000 more names. Secretary J. E. Hannon of the state fair has been working on this as a prize attraction for the coming fair, but doesn't care to express himself as to what he thinks of tho chances of the success. No efforts have been spared In trying to show Roosevelt bow cordially he will be received by the management and the people, and It 1 hoped that the opportunity af forded of talking to to many farmers and other residents of the state will appeal to him. July's Heat Killed 22 Persons Instate. Of 3.078 deaths In the state in July, 47 were drownings, 22 from heat, 5 from lightning and 17 from tetanus not of Fourth of July brand. Tubercu losis heads the list of death-dealing diseases. Pulmonary tuberculosis caused ICS deaths and other forms of tuberculosis 44. Cancer caused 1C4. There Is an increase of 81 deaths over June and the rate per 1,000 of es timated population Is 13.7. Every Comfort for State Fair Crowds. The state fair management In pre paring for the big exhibition to be seen at Detroit, September 19-24, will take unusual care to provide com fortable seats and resting places for big crowd3 of state fair visitors. This feature I often neglected by the managements of big fairs, but the Michigan managers will see to It that every posrlble comfort and conveni ence Is trovUcd fcr ctate fa'r visitors. WHO IS EACH TRAIN CREW TRYING TO PLACE THE BLAME WHOLLY ON OTHER. SIX DEAD BODIES AT DURAND ARE AT LAST POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED. Five Other Victims Are In Hospitals More or Less Seriously Injured and Two Trainmen Likely to Die. To add to the difficulty of Identi fying the victims of the wreck Wed nesday nljht on the Grand Trunk railway near Durand, bones said to be those of two additional bodies in a sack that had been overlooked in excitement were found in the morgue by Undertaker C. E. Mapes, who i." in charge of the dead. This brings the number of dead to eight, the number first fixed upon by the news papers. Repeated inquiries from relatives of passengers thought to have been on the Ill-fated Pullman sleeper Nebras ka, led Dr. R. C. Fair, surgeon for the Grand Trunk, to remark to Un dertaker Mapes that there must have been more bodies In the wreck than were recovered. This reminded Mr. Mapes that a sack had been brought to the morgue Thursday morning. In the confusion Incident "to assembling the other six bodies, Mapes says, the sack wa3 pushed into a corner and was forgotten. When the sack was brought out and its contents were ex amined, Br. Fair stated that the bones represented probably two additional dead. Mrs. Lewis Squires, of Chicago, who is missing, has not yet been identified. The body originally iden tified as hers has been fourd to be that of Mrs. Jeffers, from Toronto. Two sisters of Mrs. Scuires will be asked to come from Chicago to aid In the final Identification. It is now known with certainty that the nurse accompanying Mrs. Alma Woodward, one of the victims, was Miss Marie Amstead, ol' Fargo. N. D.. Investigation revealed that Miss Bul la Scott, a school teacher of Chicago, who was on her way to visit a sister in Toronto, and a daughter of George .lageman, of Chicago, who was bound for Chicago, are missing. Responsibility a Problem. While this seems to settle the prob !om of the number of victims of the accident, the matter of responsibility fcr the wreck is far from being set tled. The question agitating the minds of the persons who were on the train, the residents of Durand and the whole locality is: WT.ois at fault, the flagman of the wrecked train, or the engineer whose train crashed into the sleeping car? Trainmen and others believe that one of the two is to b'ame, but on which is the responsibility to be placed? Railway Commic?ion to Investigate. Members of the state railway com mission announced after a conference with the attorney-general's depart ment, that the commission will con duct an Independent investigation into the Grand Trunk wreck near Durand when six persons were killed and eight were injured. The decision of the commission was the direct result of the activities of Prosecuting Attorney Hicks, of Shi awassee county, who is also attorney for the Grand Trunk. The commis sion learns that Hicks is threatening to cause the arrest of Engineer Spen cer, of the train which struck the stalled passenger. The attorney-general has signified his willingness to co-operate with the railroad commission in the Investi gation into the causes and culpability for the wreck. Abandon Hope For Foresters. Forest fires have slain more than 200 persons, nearly all flro fighters, in Idaho, according to figures com piled from latest reports. Supt. Weigle, of the Coeur d'Alene national forest, after receiving many reports of disaster to various parties of his COO employes, posted a bulletin In his office at Wallace. Idaho, an nouncing the death of 114 of the men. He also expressed grave concern for the safety of Ranger Jos. B. Halm and 74 men who were surrounded by fire Saturday night In tho forest on the Big Fork of the Coeur d'Alene river near where another party lost 13 men. Halm was for four years the best football and baseball player of the Washington state college at Pullman. New President of Nicaragua. Jose Dolores Estrada, to whom President Madrfz turned, over the ad ministration of the Nicaraguan gov ernment before fleeing the country, retired from the presidency in favor of Gen. Luis Mena, who was desig nated by him as acting president of the republic. This change of admin istration was In eccerdance with In structions from Estrada's brother. Gen. Juan J. Estrada, the head of the provisional government and lead er of the successful revolution against Madriz. Gen. Mena Immediately took possession of the presidential man sion. Large tracts of land In Wyoming, Idaho and Montana, which were elim inated from the national forests un der the executive proclamation of July 1, 1910. were restored to settlement under orders of the secretary of the Interior. Angered by the refusal of his wife to receive him In her home until the expiration of a period of probation, Ell wood Smith, 51 years old, a wealthy contractor of Philadelphia, shot and Instantly killed his wife, Belle, 30, In the second story of their dwelling on North Fifteenth street. He then sent a bullet Into his own brain. RESPONSBLE DURAND WRECK Says Esperanto Ts Coming Talk. Dr. II. W. Yemans. of the Fort Wayne post, who presided at the In ternational congress of Esperantlsts held in Washington, D. C, last week, returned to Detroit. "The congress, which is the sixth annual meeting of World Esperan tlsts, was not only tho largest of Its kind yet held, but was the most representative meeting.

"We had delegates from the shah of Persia, the emperor of Russia, the president of France, and other European pow ers, South American Is with us heart ami soul.

Our next international congress will be held at Antwerp, Belgium. The question of holding the next peace conference in Esperanto will be discussed more fully at that time. "The educational value of Esper anto keeps pace, with its political im portance. It is an excellent corrective for slovenly English. There are no Irregularities whatever in It." Will Stop Land Grabs. "The worst plunder of lands and land-grabbing ever known has been disclosed by the Investigations of the congressional committee in Oklaho ma," said Congressman Philip P. Campbell, who arrived hlme in Pitts burg, Kans., after a month's absence with the committee In Oklahoma. "The Investigation has called atten tion to the manner In which this land grafting and grabbing has been going on, and for one thing, there will be no more Indian land grafting or grabbing. This plundering of Indian property wi'l be stopped. No more will the Indian be permitted to sign away his rights. The government wil' see to that. No more big fees lor at torneys and no more lobbying in Washington. Indian affairs will be conducted properly hereafter. "The government will sell the land for the Indians. The government will employ the necessary attorneys for tho Indians and they will be paid at a rate fixed or approved' by the gov ernment. The lands will be placed on the market in September. They will be sold and the Indians will get their share from the sale. Crippen and the Girl. Dr. Hawley H. Crippen, the Ameri can dentist, and his typist.
