State Fair To Be
|      Finest In History
I Better Crops and Increase in Automobile Output to Give Stimulus to Exhibits.
Plenty of bustle and activity is
visible at the State Fair grounds
these days as workmen make ready
the premises and buildings for the
86th annual Michigan State Fair at
Detroit, August 30 to  September 8.
"We have sound reason for predicting "that the 1935 State Fair will
be the finest in Michigan's history,"
declares George A. Prescott, Jr., secretary of the state fair boara.
"A fair, like any other enterprise,
should show annual progress—and it
certainly will if general economic
conditions are favorable,
"Those two basic barometers of
Michigan's econoniie status—automobile output and farm crop income
—justify, at the present reading,-our
optimism.
"The automobile industry is from
30 to 35 per cent more active this
year than last. It is the leader in
the nation's industrial uptrend.
"Michigan's 1934-35 crop income is
41 per cent higher than in the 1933-
34 season. This means that our
farmers are $40,000,000 richer this
year than last.
"We expect to have unusually fine
automotive and other industrial exhibits at the fair this year, ana we
are offering every possible inducement to farmers to exhibit their
championship-calibre livestock and
other farm products.
"Awards totaling §65,000 are offered to winners in the various exhibits
and contests.
"Livestock and agricultural exhibits can only be entered by residents
of Michigan. This restriction encourages the smaller exhibitors to
make a bid for prizes. Often they
are discouraged from competing
when they know they will be opposed
by big exhibitors from other states
who frequently go on tour with their
championship stock and products."
A great variety of "human interest" contests and entertainment
features have been arranged by the
board of managers for this year's
fair.
Contests include horse-pulling,
milking, sheep-shearing, hog-caliing,
husband-calling, and many others.
Boys and girls belonging to Michigan's 4-H clubs have readied a great
variety of farm product- and livestock to be entered in the hope of
winning some of the $9,000 prizes offered these junior agriculturists, according to A. G. Kettunen, state
club leader.
As usual the 4-H clubs will choose
the "healthiest boy and girl in Michigan."
Approximately $800 will be awarded in the Better Babies contest, conducted by the Michigan State Board
of Health in the Woman's building.
Another attractive feature, from
the woman's viewpoint, will be the
two kitchens—old-time and modern
—in the main building which is devoted to domestic science, canning,
household decorations, etc. One
kitchen will be furnished in the style
of 1835, the second will be a modern
1935 kitchen.
The fair midway will be occupied
by the Beckman & Gerety's Shows,
rated one of the five best carnivals
in this country. This year the midway will be centrally located and
easily accessible from the exhibition
buildings.
A circus—the Greater European
Olympia Shows—will be the nightly
entertainment feature in the Coliseum. Circus performanc-es will also
be given afternoons except on the
three days when the Coliseum is devoted  to livestock adjudication.
The fair is being managed this
year by an executive committee assigned to this task by the board of
managers.
James F. Thomson, commissioner
of agriculture; James B. Jones, Detroit; Andrew Adams, Litchfield;
Jas. F. Hopkins, Detroit; Emmet J.
Windle, Brooklyn; James Vernor, Jr.,
Detroit; Robert P. Buckley, Bad
Axe.
George A, Prescott, Jr., secretary
of the fair,' has been a member of
the board for the past ten years. He
is a son of the late George A. Prescott, one-time^ secretary of state.
William H. Watt is executive secretary of-the fair and H. B. Kelley
is director of the livestock and all
exhibits.
Retired Teacher
Taken By Death
Miss Harriet Cook Passes at Home
at Urania Station; Funeral
Yesterday Afternoon.
Miss Harriet Cook died Sunday at
her home at Urania Station, where
she and her sister, Miss Rachel Cook,
lived together. Their brother, Sherman, died January 9, this year. Miss
Cook was the daughter of Peter and
Ann Hinckley Cook.
She taught many years in Tappan
school, Ann Arbor, but retired from
teaching several years ago. She is
survived by another sister, Mrs.
George Cobb (Ella), Grandville,
Mich., and Fred Cook, a brother,
living in Delhi, La. Miss Cook's
mother was a sister of the late Mrs.
Joseph F. Sanders, Franklin Hinckley and Mrs. Fred Johnson .
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 at the
residence, Dr. C. E. Kircher officiating. Interment was in the Cook
cemetery.—Ypsilanti Press.

MY TASK
It matters not what others do,
It is my task to see
My life is patterned in the mold
The Lord has planned for me.
It matters not what others think
Or what the creed they claim,
It matters only that. I live
To glorify God's name.
It matters not what others say
In ridicule or fun,
I want to live that ,1 may hear
His words,  "My child, well done."
It matters not my lo* in life,
In sunshine, clouds or rain,
If only Jesus has control
Earth's greatest Joss is gain.

Requested recipe:
CHERRY  OLIVES
Fill jar with sound cherries with
stems on. Half fill jar with vinegar,
diluted if strong. Fill jar to the top
with cold water and add 1 tablespoonful of salt to each pint par.
Contributed by Mrs. J*. B. Wallace.
Mrs. Bessie Collins suggests that
the-use of white wine vinegar instead
of cider vinegar improves the flavor.
We acknowledge with thanks the
responses to our request for a recipe
for cherry olives. Here is one that
is slightly different, and was sent in
by Mrs. A. E. Cole: ^
Pick clean cherries^ with stems or
half stems and fill can with then-
Have mixed: 1 pint vinegar, 1 pint
water, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon
olive oil. Pour this^quid over the
cherries. There will* be enough for
several cans.
For Jams and Jellies Add Epsom Salts in Canning
To every 7 cups of crushed fruit,
take 4% cups of sugar. Dissolve
sugar and bring sugar and fruit to
a boil for one minute. Then add 1
teaspoonful of ordinary Epsom salts
and boil it for 3 minutes. A number
of ladies who did not believe this
possible, at -the time we published
the recipe a couple weeks ago, tell
us after trying it they have had
very good results. Another rule in
the use of Epsom salts in making
jam and jelly is this: Two rounding
tablespoonfuls of Epsom salts will do
the same work and give.the same results as will one bottle of highly advertised and expensive fruit pectin,
whicli retails for as high as 30 cents
per bottle. There is no joke about
the salts and there is no bitterness
to the finished product.—Belding

Detroit, July 30.—"The Vagabond
' King," most stirring of operettas,
j will come to life in a blaze of glory
• and splendor on the mammoth
' stage at Navin Field. Opera Under
■ the Stars has Selected this ever pop-
; ular musical success as its next week
j attraction to open on Monday, August 5.
! The" leading role in "The Vagabond
'• King," that of Francois Villon, will
be played by one of the country's
' outstanding tenors, Paul Keast. Mr.
i Keast took Dennis King's place in
: the original company and has played
I this famous role over one thousand
' times.
j "The Vagabond King," as most
I know, is based on the story "_f I
| Were King," by Justin McCarthy.
I Rudolph Friml, composer of "Rose
i Marie" and many other successes,
wrote some of his greatest melodies
for  this  production.
This show will be staged on a-more
elaborate scale than it has ever *oeen
presented before.    The large outdoor
stage will give ample opportunity to
create beautiful settings of spectac-
, ular   proportions.     There  will   be   a
i greatly   augmented   chorus   singing
| the. stirring songs, and a large and
' brilliantt cast will combine to make
i this production   the  greatest   in its
i many years of popularity.
i     The story is of Villon who is an
: educated    and    gay    devil-may-care
J leader of a band of thieves in the
! days of Louis IV.    He falls in love

Sometimes The Observer makes a
mistake in a letter, word or item.
Please do not judge us harshly for
that fault is quite universal, as witness these examples selected by Edmund Pearson in Vanity Fair:
A New York editor wis describing
the occasion of Theodore Roosevelt
becoming President. A mistake of-
one letter in the word "oath" made
the sentence appear: "For sheer
democratic dignity, nothing could exceed the moment when, surrounded
by his Cabinet, Mr. Roosevelt took
his simple bath as President of the
United States."
Another, reporting a wedding with
eight bridesmaids said: " "The .bride
was accompanied to the alter by
tight bridemaids."
And worse, from "House and Garden": "Nothing gives a greater variety to the appearance of a house
than a few undraped widows."

Dear Mr.  Wilson*.
In making the final copy of Dr.
Unterkircher's obituary for The Observer last week I left out these paragraphs which I would be glad if you
will print as being of interest to
older residents and far away friends,
and in justice to the Doctor:
"About two years after coming to
j Saline, he bought the drug stock of
i G. B. Mason here in the building now
! occupied by The Observer office, and
' soon afterward moved it into his own
J new  brick  building  now  owned  by
Ben Uphaus.
* "He carried on both his practice
and   his   drug   store for nearly 27
years until ha could no longer attend
to both and sold the drug stock to O.
C. Wheeler."
I am ashamed to say that I also
forgot to say that the Doctor's boyhood and early manhood were spent
in Manchester, where he graduated
from high school and lived until he
was ready to begin his practice.
