Speeders and autoists who drive with
their cut-outs open We're the subject
of much discussion at special called
meeting of the Marshall County Motor
Club, held at the Marshalltown CLUB
Tuesday afternoon.
Property owners on West Main
street were present, and reiterated
that speeders who burned up the
road on West Main street late at
night should be prosecuted, A motion
was even made by two West Main
street residents to offer a reward for
the securing of the names of such law
violators. but this did not carry.
It was decided that placards be
posted at various places about the city,
and near the city limits, calling atten-
ton 10 the city ordinance regulating
speeding and also tina; part of the law
pertaining 10 running an automobile
in the city limits with the cut-out open.
These placards will be posted at once,
and further viplators will be punished,
it is said. The protests of the West
Main street residents were vehement
in the extreme. They said they were
tired of having the late hours OF the
night and early hours Of the morning
continually broken by speeders who
tried 10 see how much noise they could
make on the stretch Of paving from
Third 10 Twelfth street.
Mayor l. s, Willard, who was at the
meeting, agreed TO cooperate with the
club in enforcing the law and. punish

SEPT. 12, SECOND DAY OF
COUNTY FAIR, TO BE
FEATURED. ~
ASSOCIATION EXPECTS
DAY TO BE OBSERVED
First Of Full Days Program Chosen
For MarshalItown Day so Business
Houses May Close With Minimum
Loss Friday Selected as School
Children's Day.

Tuesday, Sept. Il. was chosen Mar
shalltoWn day at the county fair by
the executive committee at a meeting
held Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday will
also be veterans day, and the COM
mittee designated Friday, Sept. Is, to
be school children's day. No special
designation has been given to Wednes-
day and Thursday of fair week.
The committee ordered a contract
awarded for an addition 32X32 feet 10
the east end of agricultural hall, at a
cost of $495. The addition will be
built at once. 1t will increase the
floor space of the building so per cent.
Would Appreciate Observation.
The executive committee of the fair
hopes that the business interests of
the city will generally observe the day
as holiday. Tuesday was chosen
Marshalltown day SO that merchants
and manufacturers, and especially the
former, could close their places Of
business for the entire day, with the
minimum loss of trade, and partiCu-
larly trade from out of the city, be-
cause out of town patronage to the
fair Tuesday is the lightest of any OF
the days.
The fair association Will not ask
business houses to close, and no petit
ton will be circulated by the fair as
ISOLATION to bring about closing. The
executive committee is hopeful that
local business men will adopt the Gus
tom that is very general in practically
all Of the county fair towns and cities
~, oh I'M
for the day.
Tuesday Has Full Program.
It is pointed out by Secretary Clark
that the Tuesday program will be the
equal of any Of the week. This will
be equally true of the racing program,
and includes also the vaudeville both
afternoon and night.
rule Of the association compels
exhibitors to have their exhibits IN
place by o'clock Tuesday morning,
and insofar as the live stock Is con-
cerned those departments are cleaner
and more pleasant to visit the opening
day Of the fair than later in the week
Tuesday In addition to being Mar
shalltown day will also be veterans
day, when civil war veterans and their
wives will be admitted to the grounds
free, as has been the custom.
Friday Children's Day.
Friday, the closing day Of the fair,
is to be school children's day. The
plan of furnishing children with
tickets of admission thru the schools,
that was adopted last year will be
followed again this year. Only school
children will be admitted by free
tickets, as it is not the intention OF
the fair board to admit children who
are not actually enrolled in some
!, school.
\ It has been necessary for the fair
management TO adopt some such
measure to prevent persons, other
than school children, attempting to
gain free admission by claiming they
were school children. Cases where
even married people have attempted to
pass themselves in as children on
children's day have been discovered.

MAYOR BROWN NOT
CANDIDATE FOR REELECTION.
Made Announcement in Address at MI
Calvary Baptist Church.

In an address delivered Sunday af-
ternoon at Mt. Calvary Baptist church
His Homer Mayor Allyn L. Brown an
nounced that he is not a candidate for
reelection at the next election. Be-
fore his election Mayor Brown made
the same statement. This statement
was brought about when Mayor Brown
was introduced by the pastor Of the
church, Rev. 3. w. Williams, who in
his introductory address referred to
his support.
Mayor Brown spoke on the subject
Unity. And i'll view of the recent
trouble which occurred at the church
the text was appropriately applied.
Unity, said the mayor, is harmony in
action and ideas. He illustrated his
points by striking examples taken from
the life of an individual, life of a
group, government or business. He
emphasized three points: A common
purpose of plan, acting together or
CO. operating, and the right spirit and
the spirit working together. Mayor
Brown referred to the need of these
points in religious life and took for
examples the work accomplished by
the Y. NJ. C. A. at the Mexican border,
the work conducted by the foreign
missions and the Red Cross.
