PLANE WHILE OBSERVING “SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND.” Aircraft Have Been Used In a Hundred Different Ways—They Convoy Vessels, Attack Sub- marines and Mines, Guide Gun- ners and Destroy Enemy Posi- tions, Taking Photographs of the Damage Done. HE development of the aeroplane in the war has been marvelous, and almost anything of a star- tling nature can be expected of it. The uses to which the seaplanes have been put in the present war are most com- prehensibly told in “The Textbook of Naval Aeronautics,” arranged by Hen- ry Woodhouse, ‘naval and aerial ex- pert. ¥ Aircraft have made photography of ‘tremendous value in warfare, says Mr. ‘Woodhouse. Whereas at the beginning of the present war commanders thought ‘that it was wonderful to be able to get clearly written or sketched reports of conditions from air scouts who had flown over the enemy lines, today they ‘expect photographic evidence. It is not sufficient for an aviator to return from a raid and report that he dropped bombs on a given place and did certain damage. He must bring back Photographie proofs, and he usually does, Likewise, the observer sent out ‘on an aerial reconnoissance brings back a series of photographs, which are promptly put together and enlarged by experts, and photographie maps are con- structed therefrom, showing the exact topography of the country, existing con- ditions, location, composition and dis- position of fleets or steamers'and traus- ports and of land defenses protecting the approaches to harbors of places of strategic importance. The accuracy ob- tained by aerial photography is so rev- olutionary from a military standpoint that it would have been inconceivable before the present war to be able to realize it. As a matter of fact, the commander can have a moving picture taken in a few hours which will show the exact conditions between any two given points and enable him to plan bis ‘operations accordingly. Proof of Damage Done. Of course the commander of the op- posing forces has the same privilege— unless one side has the mastery of the air and is in a position to prevent the aviators of the other side from fying over their dwn lines and taking photo- graphs. In a report of a bombing raid on the Purkish lines by a seaplane squadron, which started from‘s seaplane carrier ‘at Saloniki, Lientenant Francois Ber- nou, who was. on the seaplane carrier Ben Ma Chree, relates how, ,ifter the aviators had returned from’ the faid they were ordered back to get photo- graphic evidence of the damage done. Returning to the spot to get photo. graphic evidence, fustead of walting to take it after the smoke of the bombs has cleared away, is often wise. as the ‘aircraft guns and the enemy's fight. tng aeroplanes are usually in action ‘soon after the aviators begin to droy ‘thelr bombs. "Phe speed and accuracy in locating permitted by aerial photography te positively revolutionary.

Submerged Mines. cee most Important uses to ‘aircraft have Leen put since the hing of the great war has been ae Be io ‘the locating of submerged mines, Tos- tile submarines and steamers mas- querading under false colors lay mines whenever the opportunity presents it- self, and no ship lane is Immune from them, Ships are in danger of being sunk unless lanes are properly patrolled by alroraft and subsequently, If neces- sury, swept by mine sweepers. Alteraft are employed extensively to direct the planting of mines and locat- ing mine fields and mines set adritt by storms or other causes. ‘The size of mines fs different in dit- ferent countries, and they are spherical or eslindrical in shape. In the United States the average contact mine 4s about forty inches in diameter and contains about 100 pounds of TNT, gun cotton or other explosives. ‘They run from, that size up to seven feet in diameter. Mines are usually submerged to a depth of ten feet and are usually ar- ranged in clusters of four, the total number of mines in a mine fleld being unlimited. Whether in clusters or in fields, the electric contact mines pro- tecting harbors and statins are con- trolled from a shore station, each mine being connected to a submerged con- necting box, which is connected to this station by cable, through which the electric current is flashed to. explode the mines. ‘The officers in charge of the mine field and operating from the stations on shore have detailed maps of the mined areas, showing the exact location of the mines. ‘The maps are plotted in squares, and when a hostile ship approaches a mine field the observers at this station, who get information either through seeing the ship through telescopes or from a kite balloon or a dirigible or a seaplane, follow the ship's movements and notity the officer in charge of the electric switchboard to fire the mines of a given square, through which the ship or ships are passing. First Airship to Discover a Mine, Dirigibles are especially valuable for locating submerged imines. ‘The first employment of dirigibles for this work was the result of the Italian dirigible P-4 finding by accident in October, 1914, while on a cruise over the Adri- atic a number of Austrian floating mines, ‘Thereafter it was found that the small coast patrol dirigible, which ‘ts capable of flying very low and of ‘almost standing still over a spot, fs the ‘best means of locating submerged mines, Upon locating them the ob- server summons the mine sweepers, or, if It 1s important that the mine be destroyed immediately, he destroys it by firing at it or by trolling a welght attached toa wire against it under the water. Seaplaues are also used for locating submerged mines, but less sat: isfactorily, owing to the fact that they cannot travel slowly or stand over a given spot. The same purpose, but less efficiently, is accomplished hy the seaplane circling over a given spot un: til it has detected the mines that may be submerged in that spot. Aireraft ean also he used for expert. ments in painting mines in different colors, which makes them less visible from the air. The color must, of course, change with the color of the background where the mine is located In clear water and when the. sur strikes in @ way to create a shadow Of the mine this ruse Js of little avatl but in other conditions the locating o mines fs"made very diffleult by paint ing them, Hunting the submarine fs done in much the same way. ax the trencher ous U boat oan be easily detectes awhile mnder water by an aeroplan and destroyed when it comes to the ter ‘or even below the surface, Wrecking the Konigsberg. ‘The wrecking of a German crulser by two British monitors, one of the most remarkable events of the war, is described in the “textbook.” It was | made possible by seaplanes. Following is a letter written home by an English ‘naval officer, which describes the ald rendered by the two aeroplanes and shows how closely the gunners of the “sea as well as the gunners of the land are now working ax a team with the nir scouts, The action described was the attack by monitors upon the Ger- man cruiser Konigsberg in German Fast Africa, It may: be remembered she took refuge up a river on the east coast of central Africa and was a men- ace to British interests. She was found after many months up the river, where she was hidden from the monitors by palm trees, Aeroplanes were procured after many weeks and action started. ‘The officer of the monitor Savern writes: “We went on higher up the river and finally anchored, ‘Two shells fell with- In eight fect ‘of the side and drenehed the quarterdeck. It was a very critical time. If she hit us we were probably anished. “We had no sooner anchored than the aeroplane signaled she was ready to spot. Our first four salvos, at about one minute intervals, were all signaled us, ‘Did not observe fall of shot.’ We came down 400, then another 400 and more to the left. ‘The next was spot- ted as 200 yards over and about 200 to the right. ‘The next 150 short and 100 to the left, At the seventh salvo we hit with one and were Just over with the other, Hit Eight Times In Twelve, “We hit elght times in the next twelve shots. It was frightfully exciting, The Konigsberg was now firing salvos of three only, ‘The aeroplanes signaled all hits were forward, so we came a little left to get her amidships, ‘The gero- plane suddenly signaled, ‘Am hit; com- ing down; send a boat.’ As they fell they continued to signal our shots—we, of course, kept on firing. The aeroplane fell in the water about 150 yards from the Mersey; one man was thrown clear, but the other had # struggle to get free, Finally both got away and were swim. ting for ten minutes before the Mer- sey’s motorboat reached them, beating ours by a short head. ‘They were wn- injured and as merry as crickets, Terrors of Flying In the Tropics. “Most serlous risks have been run by the officers and men who have flown th this climate, where the effect of the atmosphere and the extreme heat of the sun ure quite unknown to those whose flying expertence ts Iinatt. ed to moderate climates. Bumps" of 250 feet have been experienced several thues, nud the temperature varles from extreme cold when flying at a height to a great heat, with burning, tropleal sun when on land.” reads the offical report after the Konigsberg was com- pletely destroyed. ‘ “In the operations against the Konigs- herg on July G both the personnel and materi! of the Royal Naval Alr serv: fee were worked to the extreme limit of endurance. ‘The total distance cov- ered by the two available aeroplanes on that date was no less than 050 miles, and the time In the alr, working ‘watch and watch, was thirteen hours.” GIRLS WHO DISAPPEAR.

About Pockets. And This Is For the Children Suggested Ways For Reducing the Meat Bills Reduce your meat bill. That ts one of the steps in thrift advocated by the committee on utilization and economy, Kansas council of defense. Here are suggestions, some of which may be put into practice, the commit- tee believes, by every housekeeper: Meat substitutes may be used, such as ecgs, cheese, milk, peas, beans and nuts. Do not buy meat until you have bought one pint of milk a day for each member of your family. A dozen egss are worth as much in the dietary as two pounds of meat. Waste in meat, the committee points out, may occur in leaving the trim mings at the market, in throwing away fats that could be used in frying, short- ening or soap making; in throwing away ones that could be used in mak. ing soup and in not using the leftovers Whele Wheat Bread. One sud one-half pints whole wheat flour, one teaspoonful of soda, two tea- spoonfuls cream of tartar, one tea- spoonful of sult, three-fourths pint of cold water, Sift the dry ingredients together, the teaspoonful of soda rounding, the salt and cream of tartar level; then add the water and stir thoroughly.

On one of these stones, besides the name of the Indy aud the date of her death, there are these words: “This grave, bought for all my time, must never be opened.” But there are mightier forces than heavy stones and iron clamps, A It- tle seed found lodging in the crevice between two of the stoues. It took root and grew until now there is an immense birch tree waving its grace- ful limbs over the tomb. Its roots went through the grave, and the trunk lifted the great stones and broke the fron clamps, and the little seed had opened the grave, for Its power was greater than the stone and the iron.

The Sunday School Lesson Trained Pigeons Carry Army Messages _ Text of the lesson, Ezek, xxxiv, 11- 16, 23-27, Memory verse, 12, Golden ‘Text, Ps, xxili, 1. A better title for this lesson rather than the one given would be “The Shepherd of a Restored Israel,” for it is the record of a time yet future when they shall never again be a prey to the nations (verses 27-31), when the King of Israel, the Lord, shall be in the midst of them and they shall not see evil any more (Zeph. ili, 14, 15). Then shall the twelve tribes be one nation in their own land, and one King shall be King to them all, and they shall never again be divided into two kingdoms, and God shall make with them an everlasting covenant of peace and dwell in their midst forevermore (Ezek, xxxvil, 15-28). There are still those who say and teach that God ts done with Israel as a nation because of all their sins, but euch people must he wholly deaf to the words of the Lord in Jer, xxxi, 85-37; xxxili, 23-26, where He says that until sun, moon and stars cease to shine He will never east off His people Israel, notwith- standing all that they have done. The testimony of the Spirit through Paul is Just the same in Rom. xi, 1, 2, 25-27, ‘They are the only nation that God ever chose specially for Himself and called the everlasting nation (which is the lit. eral translation of two Hebrew words in Isa. xiiv, 7, given in the A. V. as the ancient people). ‘They will be the first righteous nation on earth, and then will many nations be joined to the Lord and the earth be filled with His glory (Isa. Ix, 1-3, 21, 22; xxvil, 6; Zech, il, 10-13), Our lesson is one of the greatest shepherd chapters in the Old Testament, but Jer, xxiii is anoth- er, and there we read that when the King, the Righteous Branch, shall have been raised up unto David the deliver- ‘ance of Israel from all nations will be so great and wonderful that thelr com- ing out of Egypt shall not scem any- thing to be compared with tt (Jer, xxill, 3-8). The title “Shepherd of Israel” takes us back to Gen, xlix, 24, and on to Ps, Ixxx, 1, and Isa. xl, 11, and Rev. vil, 17, and only in the glorious future will our precious Ps. xxili have its complete fulfillment. Many cannot see in the lesson of to- day anything more than the Good Shep- herd who saves us as individuals and keeps us and cares for us in every way and carries us in His arms and on His shoulders: the Great Shepherd who lives His life in us and the Chief Shepherd who will reward us at His appearing (John x; Heb, xilf; I Pet. v), and we must see and know Him as such before we can see and know Him as the future Shepberd of Israel.

Because he can’t help it, Why are some women like facts? ‘Because they are stubborn things. saved people, have no heart for the things of His kingdom; so many preach- ers take no interest in Dantel or Reve- lation or any prophecy, and as one re- cently sald, “If I can get my people saved and safely to heaven I do not need to bother with the things of Dan- fel and Revelation, which I cannot un- derstand.” Is it not a posstbility that to such our Lord might say what He said to the two on the way to Emmaus, “0 fools, and slow of heart, to believe all. that’ the prophets have spoken!" (Luke xsiv, 25.) In the days of Jeremiah and Ezekiel there were those who were more inter- ested in the welfare of themselves than of others, who ran without being sent by the Lord, who spoke lies out of the deceit of their own hearts and caused the people to err by thelr lies and their lightness (Ezek. xxxiv, 2,°8, 10; Jer. xxiii, 16, 17, 21, 25, 26, 32). It is pos- sible that there are still such false prophets, and the Lord will reckon with them in due time, for He is against them, and the reckoning will be a very Serious matter for them, Every true prophet or teacher should be the Lord’s messenger with the Lord’s message, and His word to them is, “Hear the word of the Lord, hear the word at My mouth and give them warning from me” (Hag. 4, 13; Ezek, xxxiv, 7, 9; Mi, 4, 17). To all such the comfort is that His word will never fail to accomplish His pleas- ure, and He will watch over it to per- form it (Isa. Iv, 11; Jer. 1, 12, RV. Let us always remember that, while in all the Bible there are words for each individyal heart, when God says Israel He means Israel, the descendants of Jacob, who was called Israel, and not the church, and I have not yet found any place where the church is called Israel or Israel the church. Ezekiel was a prophet of the captiv- ity and evidently carried away in the second deportation with Jehoinchin (Ezek, i, 1, 2). Daniel had been taken in the first company in the reign of Jeholakim. Jeremiah was left in Jer. salem (Jer. xxxix, 11-14), These men had a “Thus saith the Lord” for all they said, and through them He was comforting and encouraging His peo- ple. Our lesson verses, 11 to 16, are certainly plain and clear statements concerning the gathering of Israel from all the countries where they have been seattered back to thelr own land. Verses 28 to 27 tell of the one true Shepherd who shall then rule over them, the true David or Beloved, the Son of Mary, of whom Gabriel said that He would sit on the throne of His father David and reign over the house of Jacob forever (Luke 1, 81-23), Lesson verses 17-22 give light on the sheep and goat judgment of Matt. xxv, ” vat a a LE ™ per Photo by American Press Association. ————____——_o TRICK WITH A ROPE.

Ask some one to tle your wrists together with a handkerchief; then get him to draw the rope through the arms and” hold the two ends tightly, Bid him stand as far away as the double ropes will permit. The performer is now to drop the rope from bis arms without untying the handkerchief. To accomplish it he must pull tight- ly against the person holding the ends of the rope, This enables him to draw the rope well in between the wrists un- til on slacking the rope the fingers ean easily reach it and draw it through the handkerchief until sufficient 1s through to permit one hand to slip through the noose of rope which 1s formed by this last movement, A slight pull from the assistant causes the rope to fall free of the hands and arms.

Our word “heaven” comes from the verb “heave” and means that which Is heaved or raised up. A NARROW ESCAPE By ALAN HINSDALE beet tee a ere al cae ee a Doyle of a young man about seventeen | years old who had applied to him to be “Peter Simple,” replied the youth. “Know anything about farmin’?” Non / “What wages do you expect?” “Whatever you choose to give.” . “Well, considerin’ that you lool | strong and are willing to leave the wages to me I reckon I'll take you on, T'll feed you and give you $15 a month.” So Peter Simple the next day went | to work on the farm. It was the sea son when the war betwéen the United States and Germany had been declared and the raising of cereal food was of great importance. “Amanda,” said Farmer Doyle to his daughter that evening when she was wiping the dishes after supper, “I've took on a new man today, and I want to say to you that you're not to get mixed up with him.” | “La, pa! Do you think I’m gotn’ to take up with a farm hand? I want somepin better'n that.” Nevertheless Amanda scrutinized each nev hand her father employed with an eye, if he was young, to discover whether or not be would be worth ap- propriating. When she inspected Peter Simple he was in shirt and trousers tossing hay on to a wagon with a pitchfork, He had a fine figure, and it showed to advantage in the costume he wore. It seemed to Amanda that he was worthy of consideration. She went into the dairy house, got a piteh- er of buttermilk and took it out to him, He drank it with thanks and an admir- ing gaze at Amanda. Rotor was sccratly AmgiWs's favor ite til her father hired” Josh Whit. taker, Whittaker was a man of thirty, red headed and freckled. He owned a farm, but that season he got an {dea | into his head that with so many farn- ers in the field prices were bound to go Be So he leased lis farm and to put in his time in July and August went to work for Farmer Doyle. As soon as Amanda learned of Whitta- ker’s farm and that he had $2,500 in- vested in mortgages she dropped Peter and took up with Josh. When a man, or. rather, a boy, of seventeen falls in love he goes down clear over his head and keeps on go- | ing down till he touches bottom, Pe+ |ter, Who was in a worldly heaven | while Amanda was-smiling at him, was ready for suicide when he found himself supplanted. Amanda's par- ents saw it all and, though they had scolded her for encouraging Peter, urged her on when she encouraged Josh, Many a smile passed between the couple when at supper. ‘A week before the end of September an engagement was announced be- tween Amanda Doyle and Joshua Whittaker. Tt seemed to Peter that the bottom had dropped out of his life, He tried to find Amanda alone that he might beg her before it was too late not to blight his life, He had made up his mind to tell her something that might induce her to change her mind, Lucky Peter! FarmenpDoyle came along and saw him waiting for Aman- da at the hour she always went to milk the cows, Doyle called*Peteriinto the house, paid him his wages to date and told him to vacate the premises. Peter surrendered and was never again seer on the Doyle farm. Amanda in the autumn was married, to Whittaker and on the wedding trip stopped over at a New England city. A football game between the teams of two colleges was advertised, and the bride persuaded the groom to take her, to see it. There was the usual kick- tng about of the ball by small boys aud the shouts of the cheer leaders and the yells of the crowd, and then the teams pranced onto the field like acrobats into a cirens ring. “Good gracious, Josh!” sald Amanda, “Look a-there!” “Where? What?" “That feller is Peter Simple as sure’ ay my name's Mandy.” “So he is. By gum!” ‘There was Peter sure enough in the toggery of a football man, Both bride and groom seanned the score card to find Peter's name among the players.

Heavy Annual Rainfall. The rainfall of a village among the hills of Assam, during the ten weeks from May 1 to July 9 this year, was 250 inches. The village is Cherrapunji, the rainiest spot in Asia and presumably in the world. Its annual rainfall is something over 450 inches—say, fifteen times as much as London. Cherrapunji stands on a plateau, overlooking the plain of Syilha, and it is 4,455 feet above sea level.—Westminster Gazette. Invention of Cut Glue Invention of Cut Glass Pressed glass was invented by an humble carpenter of Sandwich, Mass., but in the primitive state of affairs it profited him little. More than 200 years ago a Bohemian glass-maker conceived the idea of making cut glass. This idea was destined to revolutionize the entire glass industry of the world. The inventor began by making the walls of the article on which he was working thicker than he was wont so that he might cut the glass with a sharp knife into figures as he chose. --- $100 Reward, $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Hall's catarrh cure is the oely positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's catarrh is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

Olive Executive Board Meeting A short session of the executive board was held in Cairo, on Saturday June 23, with the Mod. Elder J. B. McCrary, presiding. The first thing under considera- was to find a place for the Association to hold its forthcoming session, as the Shiloh Baptist church, Future City could not care for it. After carefully considering the invitations, a motion prevailed to meet with Siloam Baptist church, Unionville, on Tuesday before the 4th Sunday in Sept. 1917. A motion prevailed that the Educational space on the church letter blanks, be changed to read Livingston Normal Rebuilding and Eduational Tax. A motion prevailed that the Woman's District auxiliary be requested to turn over to the treasurer of Trustee Board, all of the money they have on hand for education and same placed in the Bank by him on interest. Eld. H. E. McWilliams, camen and was permitted to speak on the Co opperative Missionary work. A motion prevailed thus this subject be special attention in the association next fall. Eld. J. D. Davis, paid the missionary money of $4.00 for the Mt Olive church, Colp. This closed a short and sweet session of the Board. Elder J. B. McCrary, To the Baptist Churches of Mt. Olive Baptist Association. It is to be hoped that all of our churches will respond to the urgent need and appeal of our missionary on the field just now. Brethren, it is a sin to place a man on the field to look after the neglected churches and fail to see after his support, while we are at home faring sumptuously every day with our families and congregations. It is wore than a crime to allow his family to suffer, while we are responsible to to send the gospel into destitute places. "How can they hear without a preacher, and how can they preach except they are sent?" Brethren, bestir yourselves as never before; the eyes of our old fathers who have let their montles fall on us are expecting us to evangelize this field in they labored so earnestly, contending for missions and the missionary. Remember the great commission, and let us take the State for Christ. The harvest is white, but the laborers are few. Lift up your eyes and look upon the field. The true missionary spirit is lax in most of our Baptist churches in Southern Illinois. Let us put out mission cards, preach a mission sermon once a month or a quarter, lift a special collection for missions and start the mission box plan. We have a good missionary in the person of Elder J. H. Hilley, and he needs our support. Let every church send something to the Board which meets with the Sunday School conuion at Cairo, June 13th. J. B. McCrary, Moderator. Chasing the Wolf Away. When the wolf is at your door you will be surprised how easily you can chase him away if you make the effort—Atchison Globe. We want to raise more money at Unionville, during the sixty-sixth session than ever before in the history of its existence. 300 oo is the slogan. Therefore, let every messenger and member come prepared to give $1 00 each on Sunday. The moderator is down for the 1st dollar. Dr. C. C. Phillips says pleae place his name on the list for $1.00 We want every church belonging to the Association, to be represented with as money as they can. Don't withhold the Lord's money, but send it in. Remember every department of the work, and don't forget missions, District, State, Home and Foreign, Education and the Gazette, which is your organ, speaking out for you. Every church should send up one dollar for its support. J B McCrary, Moderator New Church Windows Have Arrived. The church windows for the Unity Baptist church have arrived, and are being placed this week. They are beauties, and the members and friends who assisted in raising money to purchase them are rejoicing with the pastor because we are able to pay for them when they arrived. Surely God is with the pastor and the members though they are few in number. Whatever we place our hands to do in his work since coming to Brookport has been a success. "If God is for us who can be against us" Great Revival Now On. The revival being conducted by pastor J. B. McCray at the Unity Baptist church, Brookport has resulted much good There are five souls that are happily converted and several earnest seekers at the bench, crying for mercy. The members are much revived. The weak and slack members are being warmed up. Pray for our success.

It was block printing, however, though it is said that they had something very like movable type in the middle of the tenth century. There may be some doubt as to the exact period, but these is no room for questioning the fact that for many centuries before it was known in Europe the art was well known in China Pathetic.

The gorgeous fireworks spectacle shown at the last State Fair made profound impression with all who saw it, but in the words of State Fair managers "it will not hold a candle" to the wonderful display secured for this year's fair, Sept. 15 to 21. The fireworks will be first shown on Monday of the Fair, and after that will be shown nightly up to and including Friday. C. H. Duffield of the Thearle-Duffield company, New York, has the management of the exhibit. He gave his personal attention to it and announces that the event will mark epoch in the work of his company and in all pyrotechnics in the country. "The Last Days of Pompei" will be the big special feature. This great spectacle is pronounced the greatest ever attempted and thousands will see it nightly. Included in this are two great opening numbers. One is entitled "Our Army." The other "Our Navy." Both cover four hundred square feet of ground and representations in fire of both the army and navy are to be shown. The showing of a man of war being attacked and sunk by a submarine is another of the great features of the exhibit. The first firing shows the man of war outlined in fire. The submarine then heaves into view. Suddenly a giant torpedo leaves the submarine. It strikes the great ship squarely in the center. It is seen to water and then a terrific explosion is heard and the man of war sinks with terrific detonations. A battle between a United States battleship and the flagship of the Mexican navy is another of the big features planned. The vessels are mechanically constructed and designed after the patterns of vessels of today. The guns are mounted on decks and the gun turrets are shown to belch forth fire. A shot from the Mexican ship brings a great burst of fire from the American vessel and the destruction of the Mexican vessel is a thing of seconds. These displays will be seen nightly at the race track. Spectators may sit in the spacious grandstand and witness all without becoming tired. The displays will be set off just inside the race track across from the stand. Several hundred square feet of ground are used in the events which are the greatest ever attempted at any similar gathering. Besides the fireworks ten great vaudeville acts will be going on all the time in a stand erected just across the race track in front of the grandstand. "The Six Flying La Vans" head the list. They are beheaded as the world's most famous geriatrics working on apparatus forty feet high and all advance notices indicate that they live up to their reputation. Posing, casting, bar acts, acrobatic contortion and tumbling are some of the other things which will be shown by the special talent teams secured for the amusement of State Fnr visitors. "BARGAIN" RATES TO STATE FAIR To deny one's self or one's family a trip to the State Fair this year, Sept. 15-23, will not be true economy. Aside from the positive worth of every department and every exhibit, the trip to and from Springfield is of value in itself, and during Spring Week it can be gotten at a bargain. Five railroads which connect Springfield as a hub to towns and villages of Illinois are to offer this year the usual special State Fair round trip rates. The round trip will cost approximately three-fourths the regular fare. Seven railroads enter the State Fair city—the Illinois Central, C and A., Wabash, C. P. and St. Louis, B. and S-W., C. I. and W. and I. T. S. AUTO POLO IS DEATH BY-WORD State Fair Visitors to See Aviation Thrills Thrown Into Background. The dangers of aviation and motor-dome racing contests will be backed into the limelight at the Illinois State Fair, Sept. 15 to 23, when the two original and world famous auto-pole teams meet in real combat for honors. All visitors to the State Fair of 1916 will have a chance to see this death inciting act, for it will be given the first afternoon and every afternoon and night of the Fair until Friday night of the closing week. What is auto polo, you ask? Well, the name some give it is "motor insanity." Once seen auto polo is easy to understand. The object is to pass ---
