IOWANS PLEASED
Des MOines Paper Says Free
Fair Is Great Thing.
Exhibitors Go Home Praising
the Big Topeka Idea.

'1owans at the Topeka Free fair
were enthusiastic over the free gate
idea" says the Des Moines Capital in
a first page column review of the To-
peka exposition.
The statement of w. H. Andrews. OF
Morse, Iowa. breeder of thoroughbred
Hereford cattle, is subscribed to by
every exhibitor at the fair.
There is no question" said MI An
drews, but that the free fair IS d
great thing for exhibitors. 1t brings
out the crowds rain or shine. If the
people had had to pay to see the snow
at Topeka we would have had no
crowd at all. But although it ralned
enough to spoil any ordinary fair we
had big crowds every day and we
showed our stock to more people than
at any fair I ever attended. IN TOT
the free gate and 1 would ike 10 see
it adopted in every state in the coun-
try
Here are some other Iowans who
agree with Mr. Andrews: Charles
Escher, jr., Botna, breeder of Angus
cattle; Frank ]. Clouss, Manson,
breeder of fat cattle; Raymond E.
Brown, Dunlap, who showed Chester
White swine; Thomas F. Kent. Wal
nut, who showed Chester White swine;
H o. Eddingfield. Mt. Pleasa Mt,
breeder of Shropshire hogs and Cots
void and Merino sheep, and Hann-
ton Brothers, keota, breeders OF
Percheron horses.
There is a strong rivalry between
the Topeka and Hutchinson (kan.)
fairs, but A. c. Jordan, manager OF the
Hutchinson fair horse show, who visit
ed the free fair, declared that To-
peka's was the biggest show that had
ever been put on in Kansas.

TO VALUE SANTA FE
Experts VIII spend Several Years APP
praising Properties of Pines.

The Santa Fe railway was officially
notified today that the goVernme nt
physical valuation men will start on
that line October 5. This important
work, which was authorized by the
interstate commerce commission in an
effort to study the relations between
capital and valuation, has been in
progress on the Rock Island and other
western lines for several months.
Under r. A. Rutledge, of Topeka,
chief engineer of the Santa Fe eastern
lines, sixty new men have been added
for this work. These men will be en-
ployed in the general offices here for
from three to five years, compiling fig
ures and doing other similar work.
They will work in cooperation with
the parties on the road.
The first party will start from OF
tawa, Kan, October 3. Ten days
later two more parties will be started
from Florence, Kan. Santa Fe engi-
neerS and inspectors will accompany
each party. The government bears
half the expense and the railroad COM
panies the other half.
When the physical valuation par
ties all over the nation complete their
reports five six years from now,
the railways and the interstate COM
merce commission will know definite
ly whether the roads are overcapi-
talized not. No figures will be
given out until then

gagged by Bethany Conservatory.

Bethany college, reports that Paul
Lawless has taken up his work as

ton, Tenn. assistant.
Miss QuuiSenberry is a highly fin
ished artist and teacher of voice and

Three months ago S. E. Lpx was
worried about the advertising of the
first Free fair. Today, should a visitor
wander into the Fair association
presidents office and ask for a list of
the publicity agents of the country,
the name of Phil Eastman, Topeka
space artist would be at the top.
Since the launching of the Free fair
idea, Eastman as publicity agent, has
been one of the invaluable factors of
the movement. 1t was EaStman's job
to let the world know about the To-
peka fair and put out advertising that
would draw crowds to Topeka. The
fact that newspaper in far off Lon
don commented editorially on the To-
peka proposition and that during one
day of the exposition 25,0 600 persons
viewed the exhibits in the rain, speaks
for the thoroughness of Eastman's
work.
For furnishing the newspapers with
any information desired on the To-
peka exposition, Eastman also de-
serves considerable credit. When the
reporters wanted information they
asked Eastman and Eastman dug it
up.

GROWING GERMAN NAVY

 The fighting strength of the German navy at the present time only be matter of conlecture' "n'o its bower of expansion has been the subject or con- siderable speculation.

 The best known of the newshps under construc- tion are the Ersatz Worth and the app both commence ed early in 1914 These vessels are approximately 2S 900 tons displacement and mount eight loinch guns Compared with the Queen Elizabeth class, they carry the same amament much more efficiently protected but at inferior speed.
 The German fleet is most likely to fight when the land campaigns have gone badly for her that mas ter stroke is necessary in order to relieve the stua ton When that state of affairs will arrive is at the moment beyond mortal knowledge. Many critics stil anticipate that another winter campaign Will not pc necessary but this view appears to err on Che optimistic side and if we neglect u and assume that IS months of war as practical possibility then the German navy is likely prove much more powerful argument than 1t is at present
 Early in the war the superior value of the battle cruiser was emphaticaily demonstrated and if the big ship facilities of the German yards were concentrated on rushing out this class of ships the squadron would be immediately strengthened Firms such as the Ger mania at Kiel Blohm and voss and the Vulcan Com pany at Hamburg. and the Schchau yard at Dantzic could probably between them complete seven or eight battle cruisers by the end of next spring when the Germans would have available something like 20 dread naughts and 15 battle cruisers.
 The above figures only, of course, be quite general but they serve to indicate that if the final sea battle be postponed until year the tussle is like ly to assume proportions hitherto undreamed of and beyond the general imagination.

 fought his way From the frozen deck to the hold; "No toll of death there shall be"
