Iowa State Bystander

THE BYSTANDER P. H. DR. ROBERT R. MOTON OF TURKE GEB IN IOWA. Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, and successor to the late Booker T Washington, will spend a week in Iowa on a lecture tour. For the first time since his election to his high position he has consented to go out West on a speaking tour; and so here is an unusual opportunity for thousands of Iowaans to hear Dr. Moton, who in many ways, is the equal of Booker T. Washington as an orator. The new leader and "wizard" of Tuskegee will speak in this state as follows: August 11. Oakland, morning and afternoon, Chautauqua. August 12. Corinthian Baptist church, 8:30 P. M., Des Moines. August 13. University Church of Christ, 8:30 P. M., Des Moines. EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS. By John L. Thompson. The city of Davenport, the second largest city in Iowa was our next stopping place. Here live about 1,500 colored people, all of whom have good work at good prices. These are found in the factories, workshop and especially in the great United States Arsenal here. It is said that this Arsenal now has more than 8,000 employees of which fully 1,000 are colored. A visitor is not now allowed in the Arsenal at all. There are two colored churches, the Baptist, pastored by that able Christian gentleman, Rev. F. K. Nickolson. They own valuable property. And the A. M. E., a new beautiful modern building, presided over by Rev. C. R. Walters, a new man in this conference, but seems to be a fine man. Dr. R. S. Taylor is still administering to the sick. He has a large practice. He has an automobile. Benjamin Wyatt is one of the untiring young business men who came here a few years ago and entered into the cleaning and pantatorium business at 732 Harrison St. Everybody said he would not succeed but he stuck to his business and proved his worth and now he is on Easy street financially. If only more of our young men had that stick-to-itiveness they would be respected. Another young man came here from Des Moines like the above mentioned young man and he went into the undertaking business. He had to suffer for many months, but now L. M. Brown has recently opened one of the finest and most modern undertaking parlores of colored people in Iowa, and be speak for our old friend Brown success. Both of these young men are active Christian men and both are single yet. Mr. J. H. Hates is still operating his shining parlor. He has reduced his space, also his help, but is doing nicely considering these times. Mr. J. A. Trumbo is another coming young business man. He is running a restaurant and pool hall. He is the Keeper of Records of the K. of P. of Iowa Grand Lodge. J. E. Bradford is still doing well at the same place. He is Deputy Grand Master of Masons of Iowa. Wm.

It is especially urged that as many people as possible plan to get out and hear Dr. Moton at the Corinthian Baptist church, Des Moines, on Monday evening, Aug 12. Rev. Dr. G. W. Robinson, the pastor, is making a special effort to have a large crowd out that night. Admission is free. An offering will be requested however at this meeting. The Corinthian Baptist Churth is at the corner of 15th and Linden Streets, Des Moines. city, is preparing to move to Chicago. Ross Corbin is still running a rooming and boarding house, doing well. Mr. Engle Green is still our successful expressman. The other Mr. E. Green has gone out of the restaurant business on 114 E. 5th, but has a pool hall and barber shop and lunch room, doing well. Our old friend, Ben H. Johnson who was running a barber shop, has moved down to 516 Harrison street, where he has a barber shop, pool tables and a nice restaurant. His able wife conducts the restaurant. See their advertisement elsewhere. Mr. D. L. Holmes is doing nicely. Mrs. T. A. Adams' son is a clerk in a drug store. Mrs. Rebecca Corbin, formerly Mrs. Robt. Rakes of Des Moines still lives here and wishes to be remembered by her old Des Moines friends. Mr. D. S. Johnson is still the efficient Bystander agent. Mr. Henry L. Walker is a substantial citizen here. S. B. Johnson is doing well. There is a company organized by four young men to run a magazine known as "The Vindicator." It has been published for nearly six months. A fine monthly, and these four young men are all graduates from Tuskegee Institute. Their names I cannot recall, but we should encourage such a worthy enterprise as the "Vindicator". Fred Wright is here working at his trade, doing well. Motoring across the Father of Waters to Rock Island we found some of the people somewhat disturbed because the saloon has gone from here. Mrs. Golden is still operating her down town hair dressing parlor. Mr. and Mrs. Windson are still living in their beautiful home. Their only son, a recent graduate from Iowa State University, is employed in a drug store as a clerk. J. H. Slaughter is working at the same place, also J. E. King. W. H. Harding, a stenographer at the arsenal, has bought a home, 1318 35th St., and has moved in. J. E. Harper is doing well here. The churches here are not doing well. They are sleeping. It seems there are two here, the A. M. E. and the Baptist, the latter without a pastor. Rev. Boyd has charge of the former. We next drove down to Moline. Here things were about the same as last year. The churches are doing fairly well. Rev. T. W. Lewis, our good friend, and his good wife, have charge of the A. M. E. and is doing well. The Baptists are doing well. S. B. Walkup is still employed at the school house. Mrs. Hattie Shelton is doing well. Miss Mame Wilkins also doing nicely. Mrs. M. B. Bishop is quite sick. Mr. B. Barnes are doing well five miles further east into East Moline. The colored population of this city has made a wonderful growth because three streets across in what is generally known as Watertown, has been annexed to East Moline. Nobody told ye editor the reason, but we think that we know. Until two years ago these streets were inhabited by white people but when the big factories brought in 300 colored families and put them on these streets, to avoid trouble between the two races they put these colored people under the protection of East Moline. However, here are about 600 colored people all working at the large malleable iron and other factories, making big money. They came from the far south, and many are making good. They have a Y. M. C. A. A fine young man named B. G. Smith is the secretary. They have a special built building for it and it is a great help to these new comers. Rev. G. W. James is the pastor of the only church, the Baptist. We secured about 20 new subscribers and hereafter they will read the Bystander. I. L. Moore, S. L. Clark, Lucy Kinney, Mary Green and A. E. McCallums are some of the citizens. MME. C. J. WALKER DRIVERS AN NUAL ADDRESS AT HAIR CUL TURMEL CONVENTION Chicago, Ill., Aug. 6.—The second annual convention of Mme. C. J. Walker's Hair Culturist's Union was held at the Olivet Baptist Church, 27th and Dearborn streets, August 1, 2 and 3. Nearly 300 delegates were represented by every state in the Union. In point of enthusiasm, interest and good work accomplished, it surpassed the first convention which was held at Philadelphia last year. Mrs. C. Davis, president of the Chicago Union called the meeting to order Thursday, Aug. 1. A musical program was rendered under the direction of Mrs. Martha Broadus-Anderson and a brilliant address was delivered by Hon. George W. Ellis, Assistant Corporation Counsellor for the City of Chicago and Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay-Davis, National Organizer of the Federation of Women's Clubs. Thursday night Hon. Louis B. Anderson, Alderman of the Second Ward delivered the welcome address which was responded to by Atty. F. H. Banson, business manager for Mme. Walker, Indianapolis, Ind. Miss Georgia A. Nugent, Louisville, Ky., chairman of the executive committee of the National Federation of Women's Clubs and Miss Elizabeth Carter, New Bedford, Mass., past president of the Federation, were speakers. A reception followed in the lower auditorium of the church. Friday night Mme. Walker, America's foremost business woman, delivered her annual address. Her reception was wonderful. Every one in the audience arose and gave her the chantanqua salute. She said in part: "Today marks the end of nearly one year since we met in the great City of Philadelphia and I need not say to you that I am indeed proud to meet with you again. We are not only to transact the business of this convention, not only to inspire and receive inspiration, but to pledge anew our loyalty and patriotism, our love for our country and to say to the president of the United States that the Colored Women of America are ready and willing to undergo hardship and to make sacrifice necessary to bring our boys home victorious. (Applause). It is not my purpose to talk war at this time, but I want you to know as interested as I am in my agents and this convention, my first thought is the winning of the war and that should be in the mind of every real American." Speaking of her business she said: "I have conducted my business this year almost at a loss, owing to the unusual cost of material, heavy taxes and etc. I have not raised the price because I did not want my agents to suffer. YOU HAVE BEEN LOYAL TO ME AND BY THE HELP OF GOD I AM TRYING TO BE LOYAL TO YOU. (Prolonged applause). I want you to know whatever I have accomplished in life I have paid for it. If you expect to build up a successful business you must make up your mind to work and work hard. My advice to every one expecting to go in business is to hit often and hit hard, in other words strike with all your might." Other Prominent Speakers. Mrs. Mary Talbert, Buffalo, N. Y. President of the National Federation of Women's Clubs, delivered a very fine address as did Hon. Robert S. Abbott of the Chicago Defender. Mrs. A. C. Burnett, special representative of Mme. Walker, John F. Johnson and other successful business women gave some very helpful talks to the convention. The business sessions were interesting and beneficial. At one point Mrs. C. Davin surprised the convention by presenting Mme. Walker with an embroidered picture, enlarged to go in the Madam's new home on the Hudson River. Back of the convention and the success of the delegates could be seen the brain and intelligence of Atty. F. H. Ransom, business manager of Mme. Walker. The executive committee will decide the place of next meeting. While in the city Mme. Walker was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Harry Garnes, 525 East 44th Place. YANKTON, S. D. A reception was given for the six colored boys on Friday evening, August 2nd, 1918, by Mrs. Leona Smith and Mrs. Allie Williams, at the home of the former. A large crowd of relatives and friends were in attendance. The evening passed away very pleasantly with music, songs, and speeches, in which the boys took part. Light refreshments were served. Mr. C. B. Hosmer was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Towiley Goodlow while in the city. Mrs. Harvey Williams, Mrs. Clara Forte and Mrs. Laura Bently are three new subscribers to the Bystander. Have the Engineer? As George folded the file young creature to his heart a dull, cracking sound smoothed his ear. "Ah! It's goodbye to those cigars is my vest pocket," he said grimly. "but hang the expense at a moment like this." OTTUMWA BRIEF On last Sunday morning a splendid sermon was preached by Rev. R. H. Cato, pastor of Mt. Zion A. M. E. church. Text: Romans 8:17.

Dear Mother: I have just come in from drill and thought I would write you today. In fact I intend to write you daily so you will know that I am well and hearty. It has been very hot, but last night it rained and is very cooler now. The heat is so oppressive that it is hard to get any sleep at night. The horses suffer very much because they are docked and the flies give them a merry time. I have charge of the trench mortar section of this camp, and am very well pleased with the personell of my section, but I never let them know that I am pleased with them. But they can shoot fast and straight, and the interest which they show would satisfy the crabbiest sergeant. This is such a beautiful day that my mind is wandering up and down the rolling prairies of dear old Iowa instead of among the poppies of France. I have just come in from the firing range where my boys have been shooting their mortar. They put two machine guns out of commission, and said down such a barrage that a mouse couldn't live in it. One shell fell in a potato field and harvested enough potatoes for a family dinner. The men are so enthusiastic over their work that I have great difficulty in keeping them from getting range on the officers quarters and blowing it to pieces. We are very proud of our men because of the interest they take in the work. Last night we had moving pictures in one of the mess shacks, and we certainly did have some fun. Max Linder was the center of attraction and he rivals Charlie Chaplin. Later on after the show a couple of German airplanes came over and crowned the evening by destroying a French observation balloon. This morning the French anti-aircraft guns brought down one of the Boes. Thanks to the Y. M. C. A. and the German and French artillery we are never lonesome. They keep us royally entertained. During the early evening the Y. M. C. A. stages a boxing bout and moving pictures, sometimes a vaudoville act, and as soon as the Y. M. C. A. has finished the artillery takes up the interval, then when day comes, we go out for work at our drills and thus the time passes. The French officers are very hard workers during the day, not a minute for foolishness, but at night they are very playful and not a moment for work, but they certainly can fight. Yours as ever, Lovingly, RUFUS. (Rufus B. Jackson, 2nd Lieut. (370th Inf.), formerly old 8th Illinois. July 19, 1918. My Dearest Mother and Dad: Just got through taking off my gas mask from a gas alert sound. Well, folks, I received your letter of the 12th of June and take it from me I was certainly glad to receive the same. I am glad you people are feeling so fine this time of year. Yes, right here I want to ask you to be sure and send Jesse and I a picture. Have ours made on postal cards, then you can put them in a letter. Be sure and do so at once please, Mother dear, as I am very anxious to have one. So is Jesse. I am proud to know you are receiving my letters O. K. I have not received many letters from many of my friends other than my close friends. You must encourage them to write Jesse and I. Mother dear, you write such wonderful letters, letters that encourage me to be a good boy. You have gotten out of that old worrying habit. That's the Mother you are, the greatest that ever lived. Keep up the good work. I am quite sure it will be some time before you can send me the box but continue to send the papers, they will come aright. I am sure. Oh Mother dear, I am so glad you saw Miss Eaton. How is she and how is she getting along. Does she look like the Miss Eaton of olden times. Mother dear, be sure and give her my address. ```markdown ``` The Best advertising medium to reach colored people in the west Price Five Cents I a mogoing to write her a letter in care of you. Be sure and give it to her please. So you people are having some warm weather. So are we. It is some hot right now. Has Walter Wagner joined the army or has he been drafted, gone to Prairie View, Texas. Why did he go so far for training? What branch of service is he in. And Finis Bledsee is entering the officers training school. Herbert Whitfield is in New York. Well, he won't be long getting over here with your fighting son. Give everybody my best regards. Tell them to write soon. So you think a great deal of your birthday letter, do you? I am glad of that. If you have it published please clip it and send it to me in a letter. Continue to pray for me, mother dear and maybe some day I will come back to you. I have some good news for you, Mother dear. I have been chosen to attend an officers training camp some time soon over here. My captain chose me for some reason. Two of the lieutenants spoke a good word for me. Probably some sweet day you will have two sons, officers in France. I will be in school three months I think. There was only two men picked to go out of four like companies. Jesse does not know it as yet, as I have not seen him this week. I know he will be proud of me. He seems to think a great deal of me. Ten men are going to the training camp from the regiment. I do not know when we leave to go. Pray that I make good and come back to you and the family. Must close now. Mother dear, be sure and give my love to Miss Eaton. Lots and lots for all of you. Goodbye and God bless all of you. Indiana, Ia., Aug. 5, 1918. To Whbm it May Concern. Dear Co-workers: Will all heads of departments have your work in the hands of club members not later than the second week in September. Owing to war activities, we are very busy women, and if we do justice to these outlines as prepared by you, we must have time for their study. If the outgoing chairman did not present to you the outline for this year, please communicate with her at once in order that, if they have not prepared an outline, your may do so. Since you as present chairman will no doubt feel responsible for the work. Let us not spend so much time this year in organizing new clubs in towns where clubs exist. But let us put forth every effort to fill up the ranks of the present clubs with the many worthy and desirable women all about the state. Not so many clubs; more active women in the clubs. Let t us double our present club ranks and all work together, one great harmonious body of humanity open for suggestions of all kinds for the betterment of the state and nation. If we find a plan working well in any branch pass it on to others that they may be benefited. By so doing living up to our beautiful motte—Sowing Seeds of Kindness and Lifting As We Climb. It alone speaks volumes. MARTHA F. WHITE, State Pres. I. S., F. C. W. C., Indianola, Iowa. Pollard's Habita The pelican is commendably regular in his habit.

GOVERNMENT TAKES OVER THE PHONES. The following message has been received from President Theo. N. Vail by all employees of the companies comprising the Bell Telephone System: "Under the authority of the law and by the proclamation of the President, possession and control of the wire systems passed to the Postmaster General as of August 1st. "In a conference held in Washington at which were present the Postmaster General, the Government Operating Committee and representatives of the Bell Companies, the Postmaster General expressed most emphatically his appreciation of the service which the Bell Companies were rendering and that such improvement possible to be made would be because of the additional power derived from the Government. He asked for the cooperation and assistance of those who had heretofore been responsible for the service. The Postmaster General was equally emphatic in the statement of his desire to conserve the service and properties of the Companies with a view of returning them when called upon so to do to the owners in as good condition as resolved. That it was his earnest desire that the owners should receive just compensation in the full sense for their use." CORNER STONE LAYING. The new Maple Street Baptist church which is in course of erection, held their corner stone laying last Sunday. The corner stone was laid by the Masonic Grand Lodge of Iowa. Grand Master W. W. Gross delegated Grand Custodian J. C. Johnson of this city to conduct the ceremony. In compliance with that edict Grand Custodian Johnson, acting grand Master, opened a Grand Lodge in Dorie Hall at East Des Moines Street and with members of North Star and Storia a treed to the church Sunday at --- 2 o'clock, and in the presence of a large ensemble of people, both white and colored, laid the corner stone in ancient form. The acting grand officers were C. C. Johnson, G. M.; John L. Thompson, D. G. M.; C. R. Wood, G. S. W.; C. P. Topper, G. J. W.; Gus Wattikin, G. Treanauer; H. E. Jacobs, G. Sewy; J. M. Rush, M. Architect; J. S. Beavery, G. Marshall; B. J. Mitchell, G. Tyler and S. Joe Brown, G. Orator, who delivered one of the finest and most appropriate occasions ever heard on this subject in our city. It was indeed an impressive ceremony enjoyed by all present. COLORED DRAFTERS ARRIVING For the past two weeks for nearly every day the morning train has been loaded down with colored canvases coming to Camp Dodge. Up to date we now have about 11,000 colored men coming from Tennessee, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Illinois, Minnesota, Dakota and Iowa. Illinois furnished 2,000, Iowa 500, Tennessee 3,000. In fact we now have so many colored and white men that the present enantment barracks are crowded with 40,000, and now we have a tent city of 28,000 more camped against the enantment, of which there are about 5,000 colored in the tent city, Rev. W. H. Searcy of East St. Louis came in Sunday leading 550 boys from his county. It is indeed a great sight to see these young men come in and fall in line, four abreast, and march through the streets of our city to the Inter-Urban depot amid the cheers of the white and colored citizens of Des Moinex. It is said that Camp Dodge will soon have more colored soldiers than any other enantment. They are building another Y. M. C. A., also a colored house house for our women. Cure for Dysentery. "While I was in Ashland, Kansas, a gentleman overheard me speaking of Chamberlain's Colie and Diarrhoea Remedy," writes William Whitelaw, of Des Moines, Iowa. "He told me in detail of what it had done for his family, but more especially his daughter who was lying at the point of death with a violent attack of dysentery, and had been given up by the family physician. Some of his neighbors advised him to give Chamberlain's Colie and Diarrhoea Remedy, which he did, and fully believes that by doing so saved the life of his child. He stated that he had also used this remedy himself with equally gratifying results." Dear Editor of the Bystander: Please allow me space in the columns of your paper to say just a word about the work of my district. As I am starting my first quarterly conference in my second year's work as P. E. of the district. First A. M. E. Zion church, Des Moines, corner 15th and Shaw, Saturday and Sunday last was quarterly conference. It was a great quarter. Since June 16, the P. E., Rev. E. S. Hodge, and his good people, have, outdone themselves, both spiritually and financially. He raised this quarter in the clean cash $287.32, and have baptized 8 and added 20 to the church. Can you beat it anywhere. Let God be praised. His full assessment all lines was raised. We go from here to Perry, Iowa, 10 and 11 to meet Rev. H. S. Marian and from there 17 and 18 to Scandia, Iowa, where Rev. J. W. white pastors, the man that built the new church in the last conference year, and from there to Valley Junction 24 and 25. Rev. John Hillard is the pastor and from there to Enterprise and Boone 31 and 1st September. Please get ready, brother pastors, for this year we must go over the top. REV. O. G. MOSS, P. E., 510 S. E.

Six thousand or more pure-bred animals on exhibit, representing the pick of the choiceest herds and stocks in America. A GIANT POULTRY SHOW that will be typical of the poultry industry of the state. And just as Iowa leads other states in number and proportion of pure-bred fowls so will this State Fair Poultry Show eclipse all competitors. AGRICULTURE IS PARAMOUNT in Iowa. The State Fair will prove it by a splendid array of county exhibits, farm exhibits and individual exhibits of the products of field, orchard, garden and vineyard. SEVENTY ACRES OF FARM MACHINERY that will be a glorious exposition in itself. Improved machinery is playing a large part in war work and the fair is the place to see and study the latest types designed to save labor. Great tractor show and demonstration. AUTO AND TRUCK SHOW OF 1919 MODELS. The first opportunity of the year to study new styles. Everything that is up to date, worth while and progressive in motor-driven vehicles. Special exhibit of truck and motor accessories of all kinds. FOOD SAVING AND WAR-TIME COOKERY will be the principal theme in the Kitchen and Pantry Department. Practical demonstrations of cooking, canning, drying and other methods of food conservation. Valuable hints, helps and working information for the seeker after culinary knowledge. A GOVERNMENT WAR EXHIBIT has been prepared for the fair by the Army and Navy Departments at Washington. It is the most comprehensive exhibit of the kind ever placed before the American public.

Where other fares show only sections of silos the Iowa fair shows something like twenty silos of different kinds complete from foundation to roof peak, consequently it is the best place in all the Middle West to get exact information of silo materials and silo construction. For several reasons the implement and tractor show at the coming Iowa State fair promises to exceed anything of the kind ever seen in Iowa remember the dates, August 21-30. Madam M.

COLORED MEN LEAVING FOR TRAINING CAMP Six Yankton County Men Will Leave For Camp Punston Tomorrow A big reception for the six Yankton county colored men who leave for Camp Funston at 1:55 a.m. tomorrow, was held at the home of Mr. John Bentley on the Fred Burgis farm, last evening. A large number of white people were present as well as all the colored people of the county. The Red Cross presented each of the men with a housewife and watermelons in plenty for everybody were served. Speeches to the men who were leaving were made by Mayor A. L. Wyman, Mr. Geo. L. Crisp and Mr. John Bentley. No more patriotic meeting has been held in Yankton county nor one where those present were more uniformly loyal. The occasion was as pleasant as it was American in character. TUSKEGEE DOING GREAT WORK FOR COLORED PEOPLE. Field Secretary for Institute Tells Large Audience of Its Advantages Last Evening. C. B. Hosmer, representative of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, addressed a large audience of colored people at the A. M. E. church last night. Tuskegee Institute, the largest school for negroes in the country, was founded by the late Booker T. Washington. Under the leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Goodlow, Spencer Blakey, Henry Blakey, Mrs. Stokes, A. Allen and others, a large and appreciative crowd was out to hear Mr. Hosmer proclaim the great achievements of his school. He said: "Tuskegee had 1,750 students last term. More than 10,000 persons have graduated from there to date. We have 400 students and teachers in the national army; and 116 of our girls from the school's hospital are soon to go to France to become Red Cross nurses. So we are well represented in this great war; and our loyalty, and that of our humble race is beyond question! No Negro has ever been a Benedict Arnold! Tuskegee, under our new president, Dr. R. R. Motan, is leading a mighty campaign for greater food production and food conservation in the south now." There is no suggestion of timidity or coyness about the magnolia. It never appears in the role of offering an apology for being alive. No explanations are required. Like an independent, self-respecting citizen it faces the world unafraid. In kingly majesty it stands, an inspiring masterpiece of grandeur, an unaralledled display of nature's sublime. All work The Wonderful Art of Hair Growing MARY C. MADAM C. J.

OBITUARY Miss Willa Rhodes, who passed away Aug. 3, 1918, at her residence, 2409 Garfield St., was a student at East High School, also a faithful worker in Maple St. Baptist church.

Her brother James is also an East High student, adn aunt, Mrs. Minnie Ketchum of Chicago. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to thank our many friends for their kindness during the illness and death of our beloved daughter, Willa Rhodes, also the beautiful floral gifts. Mrs. Lula Powell, Mother. Mr. Will Rhodes, Father. Harry Rhodes, James Rhodes and Ossie Rhodes, Brothers. Mrs. Minnie Kitchen, Aunt. Nathan Shininghouse was born in Mississippi, March 18, 1854 and died Aug. 1st, 1918, at the age of 64 years. He leaves to mourn his death two daughters and one son and many friends. He said before he passed away that he was ready and willing to go as he had been praying for four months. This he confessed before Mrs. Berger and daughter. His request to sing "Peace Like a River" was carried out at his funeral. Miss Anna B. Carter died Aug. 4th, 1918, at the county hospital, of tuberculosis at the age of 20 years. She leaves two sisters and one brother and father. Funeral serves were sold at the A. M. E. Zion church. Interment at Glendale.

THE BYSTANDER WILL BE BIG GOVERNMENT WAR EXHIBIT AT THE STATE FAIR Just to demonstrate their interest in the big agricultural fairs and to emphasize the intimate connection between the war and the production of food, the government officials at Washington have prepared an extensive war exhibit for the state fairs, or such of them as have the necessary facilities for accommodating the exhibit and can stand the expense of shipping and other incidentals which, combined, amount to a considerable sum. This exhibit will be shipped direct from Washington to Sedalia, Mo., for the Missouri state fair, which opens August 10. From there it will be shipped to Des Moines some days before the opening of the Iowa fair and everything made ready by the time the gates are thrown open August 21. The exhibit will be housed in Power hall, which is conveniently located about a block north of the main street car entrance and just inside the new entrance to the grounds on Walnut street. These exhibits will prove intensely interesting to the citizens of the middle West. The collection from the war department will consist of machine guns of different types for both land fighting and use of aircraft; mountain guns, field guns, rifles of up-to-date make, hand grenades, periscopes, helioglass instruments, wireless, outfits, gas masks, trench implements and fighting equipment of every imaginable sort. The navy department is sending rifles, swords, drums, signal flags, semaphore flags, pennants, machine guns, torpedoes, mines, anchors, submarine clothing, etc., etc., etc. In addition to the war equipment to come from the army and navy departments, the department of agriculture, department of the interior, department of commerce and the U. S. food administration will also be represented by interesting exhibits of high educational value. One of the most interesting and unique will be a mine rescue car sent out from the department of the interior. This car will be fully equipped for actual service and accompanied by a crew of five men, who will explain the working apparatus to visitors. The department of, commerce will deal with various important industries, such as the fisheries, the leather business and others. There will also be moving pictures illustrating numerous activities that have sprung up of late and are being carried on to meet the unusual demands which are the outgrowth of the great war. It will be a most interesting and instructive exhibit throughout and visitors to the state fair should include it in their sightseeing plans. CANNING EXHIBITS AT IOWA STATE FAIR It used to be the fashion to brag about what our grandmothers could do in the way of saving summer fruits and vegetables for winter use. But those very efficient ladies of old didn't have a thing on Mrs. Uptodate when it comes to canning operations. In fact the housewife of forty or fifty years ago admits her shortcomings when she visits pantry, cave, or storeroom of the woman of today. For the modern housekeeper has picked up a lot of new wrinkles since the opening of Uncle Sam's food conservation movement. Visitors to the Iowa State Fair of 1917 were impressed with the magnificent display of home-canned fruits and vegetables. It was hard to believe they were the product of home talent and labor. Exhibits in this department promise to eclipse everything of the kind in past years. The premium classification has been widened and the prize money materially increased, all of which will tend to swell exhibits. Prizes are offered for foodstuffs, canned, preserved, dried and pickled; for butters, jellies, jams and all the rest of it. Don't overlook the kitchen and pantry department when you visit the fair. PATRIOTIC FIREWORKS FOR STATE FAIR. After enjoying the display of fireworks at the Iowa state fair this year the visitor will appreciate the wonderful progress made of late years in the art or science, or whatever we may call it, of pyrotechny. Some of the beautiful and intricate set pieces that will be shown are a far cry from the dinky roman candle and sputtering nigger chaser of our boyhood days. The regular nightly programs will conclude with a grand display of patriotic fireworks, beautiful beyond imagination and in harmony with war work and ambitions, "Food Conservation." "The Great American Flag." "Statue of Liberty," "Liberty Bell." "Spirit of 76," "Submarine Battle." "Battle of the North Sea," and various other patriotic subjects and sentiments will be pictured in these spectacular set pieces. Machinery hall and the entire machinery department will be more attractive than ever to Iowa State fair visitors this year, especially to the employer of labor who is up against a shortage of help. Whatever new inventions of labor-saving implements have been worked out in the last year will be found on exhibition in the machinery department. WITH OUR CHURCHES MAPLE ST. BAPTIST CHURCH.
