AT THE STATE FAIR | 7pUR PUBLIC PORUM
8TATE FAIR AMU8EMENT FEATURE.
Dallas: New, novel and up-to-date, with splendid attractions as fM>
tures, describes the Amusement Park offerings at the 1915 State Fair ot
Texas, which begins in this city Saturday, October 16.
C. A. Worsham, who is at the head of this big carnival attraction, has
achieved a national distinction for producing clean, entertaining and whole-
some shows.
Among the prominent ones for the State Fair may be mentioned the
society horse show, where no less than seven trained and educated horses'
are the participants In a monster program, headed by Miss Essie Fay
and her equine paradox, ‘'Arabia,” the horse with a human brain.
Then there is the Hippodrome, the Mecca for all those who enjoy circus
and wild animal acts. Here Mile. La Rose, the interpid trainer of seven
lions, will ehow them off to a real advantage. Other features will prove
entertaining In the extreme and well worth seeing, whilst, in addition, there
will be an extensive menagerie filled with strange and curious animals, rep-
tiles and birds from all parts of the globe.
The auto stadium Is a place where thrills will be produced at the rate
of one per second. Here four riders, one of them a woman, Mile. Marie,
late of the vivandiere of the Chasseurs D'Afrique of the French Army, will
drive high power racing autos around a perfectly perpendicular wall, flirting
with death at every performance. Mile. Marie and three other riders at-
tempt the globe of death at one and the same time and their performance
is hair-raising to a degree.
The Miracle Girl with Miss Etta Louise Rlake In the title role is an
exceptionally good attraction, devoted to mystery, mirth and music. The
poses will be found to be most artistic, the singing and other spectacles re-
fiden, and the big spectacle, "Pharaoh's Daughter,” exceptionally interesting
and"Vorth while.
Among the other features may be mentioned Zetta and her tango
queens; “Neptune’s Daughter," with Miss Lillian Cooley, famous swimmer,
in the leading role; the Philipptno Midgets; Princess Oarite, a dimunltlve
entertainer; A Trip to-Mars; Crystal Tangle and Crazy House.
Mr. Wortham brings to the State Fair a high-class musical organiza-
tion—he famous Jameson Band of forty trained musicians and instru-
mental soloists.
In other words the carnival end of the State Fair this year will be what
it ought to be—well produced, well fitted and well managed.
<?><?>«>
Cavalry,' artillery, air scouts and polo teams from the United States
Army will. It is believed, form a big encampment in the race track Infield
during the run of the State Fair. This will be a big feature with visitors,
as a splendid army program will be assured. The program will be entirely dif-
ferent from that which created so much Interest last year. Artillery drills, ex-
hibitions by the aerial branch of the army, cavalry drills will make a
realistic war presentation that will be both educational and thrilling.

A STATE FAIR PRIZE WINNER.
Dallas, "The Show Window of Texas Industries”—that’s the 1915 Stall
Fair of Texas in an utshell. The State Fair begins Saturday, October 16, and
closes Sunday, October 31.
All of the important activities of the State will be represented ai
never before—agriculture and kindred industries; livestock and the dairy
interests; manufacturing—In fact, a splendid array of exhibits mirroring
the progress of Texas and the achievements of her people.
The State Fair will furnish an education so practical and so broad as tc
appeal to all—and particularly does this apply to the splendid exhibits now
being prepared by the University of Texas, the Agricultural and Mechani-
cal College of Texas, the College of Industrial Arts; and other educations;
Institutions of the state.
The girls and boys of the State are interested In Judging contests and
In the prizes offered for boys’ and girls’ club work; and In the splendid
building housing the textile, culinary and fine arts departments there wlU
be much to interest the women and girls of the State.
County exhibits filling to overflowing a mammoth building; three thou-
land head of registered stock; twenty-five hundred blue-blooded fowls; ten
acres of machinery and Implement exhibits; an automobile show of 1916
models; a fine art exhibit valued at more than $100,000; an industrial art*
exhibit that will Interest the housewife; a superb showing of styles and
fashions in women s wear, millinery, jewels: In fact, something to interest
every man, woman and child In the state—this gives some Idea of the 1915
Exposition.
Offerings in the livestock department are the richest of any in the
country. This year approximately $20,000 in premiums and specials will be
awarded for exhibits of cattle, horses, sheep and swine. All of the big
organizations In the country with livestock men as members are offering
special premiums. Applications for stalls and pens received Indicate that
the display will be mammoth in proportion.
The dairy and creamery interests will be represented in three di-
visions—dairy cattle, dairy demonstration and dairy products departments.
These three features are of special Interest to dairymen and dairy cattle
breeders; the awarding of the American Jersey Cattle Club’s special
premium for the bent Jersey cow, get of sire, breeder’s young herd, grand
champion bull and grand champion female; the twelve days’ competitive
.dairy test for butter fat; and educational displays and lectures dealing with
the dairy and creamery business.
♦ ♦ -8
A staff of experts from the A. and M. College will spend their time at
the Fair giving attention to helping Texas farmers with their home problems.
The A. and M. exhibit for the coming Fair la being entirely reorganised.
F. A. Vnnderllp
On Th« Busing** of Banking
The farmers of this nation to oome into tbelr own
must study business. We must, as a class, understand
the fundamental principles that underlie every industry,
Its funetlona to society and Its relation to agriculture for
there can he no Intelligent co-operation without under-
standing. Mr. F. A. Vnnderllp. president of the National
f City Bank of New Terk, when asked “What is a Bank”
said In part:
“The first and most familiar function of a bank is
that of gathering up the idle money of a community,
small sums and large, and thus forming a pool or reser-
^^ voir upon which responsible persons may draw as they
have temporary use for money. It Is evident that this makes large sums In the
aggregate available for the employment of labor and the development of the
community. But much more is accomplished than the use of the money
actually deposited in the banks, for by the use ot drafts, checks and bank
netes the efficiency of money is multiplied several times over. A very laige
business, for example one of the great beef packers, may use very little
actual money; on one side of its bank account.will be entered the checks
and drafts it Is dally receiving from everywhere in payment for meats,
while on the other side will be entered the checks it draws in payment for
cattle, etc.. Its only use of money being for small payments, to labor and
otherwise.
If there were but one bank In a community and everybody paid all
bills by drawing checks on that bank, and everyone receiving a check imme-
diately deposited it in the bank, the amount of money in the bank evidently
would not change at all and the entire business of the community would be
settled on the books of the bank. And the situation is but slightly changed
when there are several banks, for they dally exchange among themselves all
the checks they receive on each other, which practically offset themselves,
although the small balances are paid in cash. This is called ‘clearing’ and
in every large city there is a ‘Clearing House’ where representatives of the
banks meet daily to settle their accounts with each other.
A bank is constantly receiving from its customers, particularly those that
are shipping products to other localities, drafts and checks drawn on banks
in other cities, which it usually sends for deposit to a few correspondent
banks in the central cities with which It maintains permanent accounts. 'In
this way these scattered credits are consolidated and the bank draws upon
these accounts in supplying customers with the means of making payments
away from home. As each local community sells and buys about the same
amount abroad in the course of a year, these payments largely offset each
other. It is evident that the banks are very intimately related to the trade
and Industry of a country. The banker Is a dealer in credit much more than
a dealer in money, and of course his own credit must be above question. He
exchanges his credit for the credits acquired by his customers, and lends
credit for their accommodation, but be must conduct the business with such
judgment that he can always meet his own obligations with cash on demand
This is the essential thing about bank credit, that it shall always be the
same as cash.”

On Bankers Helping the Farmers
It is a great thing to make two bale* of eatton grow

to make a bale of cotton worth twice what it was u
fore- It is a great thing for a banker to lend
on property he never loaned on before, but a still gi
achievement to lend a dollar at one-half the rate

Farmers’ Union, are bringing about these happy
suits.
