STATE FAIR AND EXPOSITION DES MOINES, AUGUST 22-31 CONSIDER A FEW OF THE NUMEROUS FEATURES that help to make the IOWA STATE FAIR the most perfectly-balanced and the most thoroly enjoyable of any and all the great expositions of agriculture and livestock in the country. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EXHIBIT At the State Fair last year was the great HORN OF PLENTY pouring forth its mighty tide of GOLDEN CORN, symbolic of Iowa's right to be called THE LAND OF PLENTY. Will be reproduced again this year in all its glory. THE AGRICULTURAL BUILDING Will be a great exposition in itself, alone and apart from all else, with its exhibits of field, orchard and garden. County Exhibits, individual farm exhibits, displays of grains, grasses, vegetables, fruits, flowers, etc., etc. IOWA'S OWN GREAT STOCK SHOW Iowa is the center of the meat-producing territory and, naturally, owners of purebred stock from all over the country plan to show at the IOWA FAIR. Will be greater than ever this year because of unusually prosperous conditions in the livestock world. THE IOWA HEN AND HER FAMILY Will attend the fair this year in a body. Last year they laid more than 1,000; 000 DOZEN eggs. This year they expect to beat even that record, but several thousand of them will take a vacation and attend the BIGGEST POULTRY SHOW OF THE YEAR IN IOWA. That will make any and all shows of the kind held in Des Moines in other years look like cheap imitations. More than thirty different styles and models of tractors will be on exhibition and put thru their paces. HUNDREDS OF OTHER FEATURES OF INTEREST—County Agricultural Exhibits—Highway Commission Exhibits—Domestic Science Exhibits—School Exhibits—Boys' Judging Contests—Livestock Parades—Individual Farm Exhibits—Home Canning Club Work—Horticultural Exhibits—Industrial Exhibits—State Institutes Exhibit—Wild Game Exhibits—etc., etc. etc. Watch This Space In a Coming Issue: It Will Tell You All About the Best Entertainment Program Offered at any Iowa State Fair ```markdown ``` The extraordinary conditions prevailing in the live stock industry presage another record-breaking show of purebred stock at the coming state fair. There never was quite such a general and widespread interest in purebred animals of all kinds as there is at the present time, nor was the breeding industry ever resting upon more stable foundations. The outlook is rosy enough to please the most pessimistic, and the gospel of pure blood is being spread to the farthest corners of the country. Iowa is not only what might be called the geographical center of the great meat-producing territory, but breeders of the state own more purebred horses, cattle and swine by far than those of any other state in the Union. No other state fair is so popular with breeders, and no other state fair even pretends to put on a stock show to compare with the magnificent displays of priceless animals to be seen each year at the Iowa Fair. HERE'S AN EXHIBIT THAT'S GOING TO MAKE A HIT WITH POULTRY GROWERS. Tons and tons of advice—and that means a good deal for much of it is output CAN be doubled, or at least greatly increased. What Iowa needs today first of all is more and better poultry houses and modern equipment. Knowledge will come thru experience. Mr. Joseph Dagle, President of the Iowa State Poultry Breeders' Association, which, by the way, is a branch of the American Poultry Association, believes that more satisfactory loads can be hauled if the horse is hitched before the cart instead of at the other end, as some over-enthusiastic persons would have it. He has worked out a plan in co-operation with the state fair management that is so practical and well-stocked with educational value that good results are certain to follow. A modern sanitary poultry house and runs will be built near the Poultry Building. It will be fully equipped with incubators, brooders, hatching rooms, roosting rooms and all the rest of it, everything needful to carrying on the business after businesslike methods. A practical poultryman, one who knows the game in all its ramifications from fighting tice to banking the profits, will be in charge, ready at all times to explain, elucidate, demonstrate or do anything else asked for the enlighment of the layman. The plant itself will be constructed by the Permanent Building Society, which organization includes all the clay working plants in the state, brick, tile, block, terra cotta, etc. The plant will be equipped with upr A TRACTOR SHOW AND ```markdown ``` HERE'S AN EXHIBIT THAT'S GOING TO MAKE A HIT WITH POULTRY GROWERS. Tons and tons of advice—and that means a good deal, for much of it is pretty light—have been preached, peddled and promulgated of late concerning the poultry industry. Growers have been told that it is the simplest matter in the world to double their output of poultry and poultry products, and have been urged to DO IT NOW! Some of the advice has been all right and some of it has been altogether rotten, as many a practical poultryman will cheerfully testify. Any man who uses his head for thinking purposes knows that the poultry output cannot be doubled, or even greatly increased, hot off the bat, and all such talk is pure bunk. The average poultry grower in Iowa and other states is already producing to the capacity of his equipment, and to overdo the matter in poultry growing is to invite speedy disaster in a dozen ways—which is another fact the seasoned poultryman will swear to. This robust-in-the-tree system, attempting to grow poultry minus both experience and equipment, is plain business idiocy. The duty of the hour is to properly care for the season's hatch. That is job enough for the present. Then if preparations are made next fall and winter, in the way of poultry houses and other equipment, next Spring the EVERYBODY'S MOUTH Is busy these days with the all-absorbing topic, FOOD CONSERVATION. For ten days the fair grounds will be turned into a great FOOD EFFICIENCY CAMP. Experts from Washington and Ames will be in charge to teach up-to-date methods of curing, canning, preserving and drying. Threshers, ditchers, road-building machinery, silo accessories and labor-saving implements and appliances of a thousand varieties, for indoor and outdoor workers. AUTO SHOW OF 1918 MODELS If you are planning to buy a new car this fall or winter the STATE FAIR AUTO SHOW is the place to study the cars that the man will all be shown, for the first time. A SPECIAL FEATURE Will be the show of auto accessories and motor trucks which will be located in Machinery Hall just across the street from the Auto Show. Everything needful in the way of repairs for autos and tractors; big exhibit of trailers. A NICE HEALTHY BABY Is the nicest thing in the world, Iowa has more thrifty babies than anybody and will prove it by the BABY HEALTH CONTEST, which is only another name for BABY SHOW—with trimmings in the way of daily lectures, movie shows, demonstrations, educational exhibits and plain talks, all along the line of up-to-date baby culture. OF INTEREST—County Agricultural —Domestic Science Exhibits—School Stock Parades—Individual Farm Exhibi- tural Exhibits—Industrial Exhibits— exhibits—etc., etc., etc. Is It Will Tell You All About the Best Farmed at any Iowa State Fair --- tus and stocked with poultry by the State Poultry Breeders' Association. It will be one of the most complete and practical exhibits ever put on for the benefit of state fair visitors, and will probably furnish more real information than a train load of literature and hot air. By all means go into the poultry business, but go into it right—and here will be the opportunity to learn the right way. SEE THE CANNING DEMONSTRATIONS. The Ames College building on the state fair grounds will be headquarters for the food conservation movement that has taken such a hold on everybody. For ten days the state fair grounds will be a great food efficiency camp of the most practical sort. Lecturers and expert demonstrators from Ames and. Washington will be in charge to explain the newest and most efficient methods of preparing food-stuffs of all kind for future use. The hot pack, the cold pack, sugared and sugarless methods of preserving, pickling, canning and drying, the entire list will be demonstrated every day of the fair. For some time past the government experts have been following a line of experimentation in dry-curing all kinds of vegetables. Their efforts have proved successful and the experts from Washington will exploit their newly-acquired and proven ideas at the fair. The canning season has always been one of strenuous exertion and worry for the housewife, but the new methods employed have robbed it of its terrors. The housewife no longer has to kill herself off with the heat and strenuosity of it and then live in constant fear that everything she has "put up" will spoil. The world certainly "do move," in housekeeping arrangements as well as in other affairs, as the fair visitor will discover through the medium of these canning demonstrations. COLLEGE BUILDING WILL BE CENTER OF INTEREST. The Ames College Building will be a lively and interesting spot during the state fair. Expert demonstrators and lecturers from both Ames and Washington will hold forth there and exploit the newest and best methods of anving meats, vegetables and fruits for future use.

The members and friends of the Second Baptist church all met at the church Monday night, July 23, with well filled baskets to celebrate Rev. M. Carrington's first anniversary. Rev. Carrington has been with us one year the 21st day of July, 1917. We all feel that a great deal has been done since Rev. Carrington has been with us and feel that we all have done the best we could. We hope by the help of the Lord that he will be with us for many years to come. Bro. J. L. Nash rendered a short program which all enjoyed.
