Des Moines, Aug. 29.-Officers of the
state fair, veteran exhibitors and far
mers. who have been making the state
fair for years, are at loss fer words
to tell about it.
Never saw anything like it," declar-
ed President Morrow.
Beats anything In my time. and
I've been at it long time" said Vice
President Cameron.
"The record has been broken al
ready. The fair Is bigger and better
than anything ever seen before, and
the crowds have simply overwhelmed
u.s." said Secretary Simpson.
Sunday drew fine crowd for the
concert, Monday was an ideal day and
the crowds gathered; bur Tuesday
found the immense park simply crowd
ed to the last limit. There were be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000 people on the
grounds. The paid admissions run
somewhere in the neighborhood Of 49,
600 above the best Tuesday, An in
crease of so per cent in business show
ed that the fair is growing good
deal faster than the state is providing
for taking care Of it. The throngs tes-
titled to the fact that the state fair
has come to be the one great popular
institution of the state-literally the
summer school and outing for the
great mass of the common people. The
only regret expressed among old fair
officers was that the state is SO poorly
equipped for housing such a inagnifi-
cent fair and for providing comforts
for the people. But despite these
drawbacks it was a day of great re-
joicing for multitudes.
There was too much wind on Tues
day for successful airshipping, but in
the next few days Knabenshue will
make a number of ascents. II the
wind prevents during the middle of
the day he will do his flying late in

and the people show their apprecia-
ton of the facilities given them for
seeing the splendid cattle and horses.
