Three shifts of men, work ing night and day, are putting the finishing touches on the buildings, I exhibits, parks and amusement areas so that they will open com plete and on time. Anyone who has doubts that this can be done need only be reminded of A Century of Progress, the World’s fair Which bad a two-years’ run In Chicago. The night before opening day, Chi cago citizens, peering over the fences for a preview, went back to :]■* their homes heartsick In the convic tion that the fair was still months V from completion. They returned to ■- the grounds In the morning, to find the scene completely changed and the Job finished, so swiftly do the The grounds, which embody chief ly the $4,000,000 plan of the Texas state fair, cover 200 acres. Over this vast area Is rising a fairyland city of nnnsual buildings, charac terised by massive pile, unbroken sweep of wall and gay, painted bor ders.

Midway Take* Shape. No matter If he misses many of the cultural and educational exhib its the average visitor never falls to find his way to the Midway of a world’s fair. At Dallas the seeker aft er entertainment will find It plentiful. Already nearing completion are the German Black Forest village, the English village, the famous Old Globe theater of Sixteenth century London, and other gay spots which were outstanding hits of the World’s fair In Chicago and will probably be repeated in many world’s fairs to come. In addition there will be a host of altogether new rides, shows, cafes, cabarets to offer their thrills. On the Midway also will be found the $2,260,000 exhibit of the Ford Motor company, always a prime attraction at expositions. The visitor’s comfort will by no means be overlooked by the hospitable Texans. Already steps are being taken to shelter the world’s fair wayfarer, especially the visitor from the cooler regions of the North, from the Texas Andrew Jackson Houston, 82, Is the only living son of Gen. 8am Houston, and will be one of the out standing figures In ths Centennial at Dallas. tun. Six hundred large trees have been planted for their shade value as well as the natural beauty they will add to the scene. Also of decorative impor tance are the 50,000 shrubs which will be set out before Opening day. Leading among the show attrac tions Is ths “Cavalcade of Texas," a vast pageant which will be produced on a stage 380 feet across and 200 rina,, mnA rill lb. Current CO-OPERATION A man stood for several minutes watching a brawny trackman tug ging at a heavy box almost as wide as the doorway through which he was trying to move It Presently the onlooker asked: “Like a lift?” “Thanks, I would,” the other re plied, and for the next five minutes the two men, on opposite sides of the box, worked, lifted, puffed and wheezed, but the object of their attentions did not move an Inch. Finally the helper straightened up and said between puffs: “I don’t believe—we can—ever get—It out.” “Get It out?” the truckman roared. “Why, I’m trying to get It ini”— Tit-Bits. ■ Husband No Bibbler A proud housewife showed some of her acquaintances over her new home. “Is your husband a blblo maniac?” asked one visitor when shown Into the library, where every book was a leather-bound de luxe. The hostess stared coldly at her questioner. “Certainly not,” she snapped. "He doesn't blbble a bit. Not that he won’t take a drop now and then with his meals, If the rest do. But that’s as far as he goes.”—London Tit-Bits. COLLEGIATE ‘‘Working hard at college?” “Not yet. The ground Is too wet and slippery. We begin regular training next week.” The Wrong Sort Brown arrived at the office on Monday morning with his arm In a bandage and a shield over one eye. “Good gracious!” exclaimed his friend. "What have you been do ing?” “This Is what comes of taking the doctor’s advice,” Brown replied, with deep feeling. “Doctor’s advice,” echoed the other. “But I don’t understand.” "Well,” Brown explained, "my doctor told me to go for a tramp every day. I came off best the first three days, but the blighter I tackled yesterday was an ex-pugll ist.” One Advantage He was proud of the fine sons he possessed, but found their education expensive; and this, with other finan cial troubles, had put him Into a bad temper. But he managed to answer a farmer civilly when asked to admire a fine litter of pigs. When he was told how expensive It was to keep them he again lost his temper. “Keep tljem!” he roared. “Keep them! Be thankful yon haven’t got to educate them.” REASONABLE Father—Ton admit Tom Is per fect, still yon refuse to marry him. Daughter—I notice ma has to throw some of your Imperfections up to you occasionally In order to get money. What could I do In a case like that?

II THE drilling machine waa In Vance Falls, sinking artesian wells for Amos Benson and Jim Richardson, so of course that's what we talked about In the store after supper. ▲ brisk little argument was get ting under way when Uncle Tom mie Wallace begun to chuckle. “Speaking o' wells," he snickered, "J’you ever hear about tbe one Abr’am Hoxle dug on his place, the one that filled up In a single night In August after a two weeks' dry spell? Ton know where the Hoxle farm is, joining Jed Miller’s to the east?” “Jed don’t like Abr’am muchjj either, does he?” Eddie Benson! threw In for bait, with a wink at the others. “Like him! Why, boy, the hate Jed’s got on Abr’am’s a beautiful, full-grown blossom like you won't often run across. Talk about your Kentucky mountain feuds! Only up here in New England we use ridi cule ’’stead o' pistols.” “What started the ' rumpus?" asked Eddie. “Why, to get at the beginning you've got to go back before the drouth of nlneteen-elghteen. Maine was dry, but you could have all you wanted come in from Boston any time. "Seems Jed wanted to send for some hard stuff without his wife’s knowing. Sallle raised a towse when he took so much as one drink, and if she ever found out he had a whole quart coming—! “A crowd of us was pitching horse-shoes In Olson's yard one Sun day afternoon and he asked for sug gestions. ‘Have It shipped In my name,’ Abr’am offers. ' “ ‘Well, that's mighty decent of you, Abr’am,’ says Jed, kinder sur prised, because he's always had a notion Abr’am didn’t like him. ‘An’ I won’t forget you when It comes, neither.’ “So Jed sent for his whisky, check going with the order. “Time for the stuff to come, he went down to the express office. “ ’No, Jed,’ Bob Parker told him after he’d hunted high and low, ‘Nothing here for Abr’am today. He got a package yesterday though, I remember. From Boston. Llkker, ’t looked like.’ “Jed went on over to Abr’am’s, chuckling to himself. “ 'Couldn’t \yalt, could you, Abr’am?’ he started to Joke him. ‘Get pretty dry, or was you afraid I wouldn't give you any of that whis key, after all?’ "’What whisky?* Abr’am wanted to know, blank as a stun wall. “’Why, that couple o’ quarts I sent after in your name and that come yesterday. I Just been down to the office and Bob said you got It.’ He poked Abr’am In the ribs. ’Ton ain’t drunk It all up so quick, have you, you old rum hound?’ "Abr’am grinned that mooncalf Hoxle grin that would madden a man without no other cause. ‘I don’t know nothing about any llk ker o’ yourn. Packages come for me and I took it Guess a man’s got a right to his own mall.’ “Well, Jed’s temper flew in a min ute, once he sensed how slick he’d had It played on him. Ton stole my whisky, you skunk.’ And I’ll get even with you.’ “After a while ol’ Mis’ Hanscomb, Marietta’s aunt, died and left quite a little passel o’ money and Abr'am and Marietta begun to fix up their place. Marietta, she wanted water piped Into the house, so Abr’am went back up on the ridge where he thought there’d be a good flow. It was clayey soil and pretty hard, slow work, so’t Abr’am sunk quite a lot of money in that well, and still hardly a trickle. One night he went home discouraged, vowing he’d dig just one more day and then abandon it and start a new place. “On his way down across the fields he passed Jed, leaning on his fence and kinder smilin'. “‘How's the well cornin’, Abr’amV he Inquired. “ *Humph!’ said Abr’am, not stop ping. “But when he went up the next morning, the well was full—full of clear, cold water. “Abram couldn’t hardly believe his eyes. He scooped up some and tasted It, and then he give a whoop ’t could ’a been heard a mile off. “So he balled it out and rocked It up—and never saw another drop In It” “But how could that happen, If It filled up once In just one night?” “Might be because Jed had hauled water over from the stream all that night with his oxen and dumped It In.” - _. - - y - - "i Truth ^Whenever the begins, there life seal ua ai ler iruui nere me begins.

Always practice thrift, no matter how freely you spend. That Is, don’t waste money. Nothing Is more wearying than the “honest opinion” of a man who "doesn’t know.” Beware of Idleness Many of the wrong things men do are done In Idle moments because they can’t think of anything else to do. A man’s wife Is his best “guide book on etiquette." No man can resist telling again and again how he felt when “death stared him In the face.” A word out of the dictionary makes a lowbrow suspicious;.but he pick up greedily all the slang words gjlng.
