AUTOS AT MISSOURI
STATE FAIR

Being Built Under
Race Track Enabling Manage
ment to Use Center Field For
Parking of Cars.
More and more Missouri is
coming to be a state of auto
mobiles and while the horse is
featured at the Missouri State
Fair at Sedala as at no other
fair in the union, because of
Missouri's supremacy in the
saddle ring, yet the automobile
is not overlooked in the State
Fair plans.
The State Fair Board has au-
thorized the construction of a
subway under the race track at
the Fair Grounds so as to enable
the management to utilize the
centerfield of the big race track
for automobile parking pur-
poses, thus, the horse and his
speedy competitor will both be
accommodated and cared for
during the races at the State
Fair and the person who motors
to Missouri's big annual exposi-
ton, September 25 to October 2,
will find fine parking space at
their disposal when they reach
the Fair Grounds. It will be
possible to watch the speed e.
vents from automobiles with
good advantage under the new
plan.

MARKED CHOATE AT HIS BEST
Great Lawyers Witty Remarks on the
eastronomleal Ability Of Por-
ter and Depew.

At one dinner General Porter and
Mr.. Depew we're both present. Mr..
Joseph H. Choate's face fairly
beamed with delight as he extended
to them a greeting that brought
down the house. 81 am sure" he
said, "you would not allow me to
quit this pleasing program if l did
not felicitate you upon the presence
of two other gentlemen without
whom no banquet is ever complete.
| mean, of course, Mr. Depew and
General Porter. Their splendid eff
forts on a thousand fields like this
have fairly won their golden spurs.
| forget whether it was Pythagoras
or Emerson who finally decided that
the soul of mankind is located in
the stomach, but these two gentle
men. certainly, by their achieve
ments on such arenas as this, have
demonstrated at least this rule of
anatomy, that the pyloric orifce is
the shortest cut to the human brain.
Their well-worn title of first Of din
ner orators is the true survival of
the fttest, for I assure you that their
triumphant struggles in all these
many years at scenes like this would
long ago have laid all the rest of
us under the table, if not under the
sod. And so l think in your names
l may bid them welcome, thrice vel
