The bond issue will put Pennsyl-
vania in the very front rank of
States which are bettering their
roads and provide means for the de-
velopment of smaller highways as
well as those designated as main
routes. The plan is to issue the
bonds as needed so that the cost OF
interest and sinking fund will be
distributed over a period of years.
The fixed charges will vary accord
ing to the issue of bonds, and as
Pennsylvania levies no State land
tax the rural communities will be
the greatest beneficiaries without
bearing the cost.

The world applauds the winner and
the record-breaker. The State Fair is
both. BY leaps and bounds Il grows,
In popularity II gains. In attendance IL
went beyond expectations. In quantity
and quality Of exhibits Il surpassed all
predecessors. The present grounds are
no longer adequate. Over 500 cars were
used In bringing exhibits. The Presi-
dent and the private citizen touched
elbows within It's gates.
Over 5000 pounds of silver were paid
IN admissions. Receipts from all sources
total $50 900 more than ever before.
Good humor prevailed. Everybody was
satisfied. The man in the moon worked
nights. Every department was complete.
The vast crowds were orderly. Every
officer was on duty at proper time and
place. Unpleasant incidents did not
happen. Words of praise were heard on
every side.
The State Fair advertising brought
larger crowds to Columbus than ever be-
fore. There was no confusion. The
Fair started on time. Every detail of
the program was kept to the minute
Doing away with the free pass curse
has won respect and support. An in
crease of ovee 20 per cent in both attend
ance and exhibits is the story. Demands
for exhibit space next year have already
been made. This is new indication OF
