40. 900 WENT BY AUTO
Interesting Statistics Regarding State
Fair Attendance Reported BY Secrs-
tary corey-Few in Twenty Mile
Radius Go by Train.

| pes Moines. Dec. 1s,--One hundred
and forty Thousand persons, a majority
of whom were Iowa farmers, came &c
the annual Iowa State fair last fall BY
automobile. according to the report o.
A b. Corey, secretary of the state fan
association, to the meeting here today
of the directors of the state fair asso-
CATION The report in part follows;
THE total state fair attendance FOL
the week was 2sl,9F2, surpassing al
previous records by 1850. and the 1919
attendance by $4,000. The admissions
department kept record of the auto
mobiles passing thru the gate and also
made careful estimates of those re-
naming in the camp groundsove night,
These figures show that there were
as,Se7 automobiles that either came
thru the gate or remained in the fair
grounds. Taking these figures and an
estimate OF the cars that were kept
in Des Moines garages and parked out
side the fair grounds, IL is safe TO say
that ons-half the state fair attendance
came by automobile.
Going a little further secured
figures from one OF the leading rail-
roads showing the territory from which
business originated. We found that
only two per cent of their business
originated within radius of twenty
miles of Des Moines; IS per cent WITHIN
40 miles; IS per cent within sixty miles
and forty per cent within of ali their
business originated from outside
radius OF sixty miles. In other words,
the automobile was the favorite con-
veyance up TO about 40 or 80 miles and
from there on was on an equal footing
with the railroads"
Taking up other matters the report
said:
Up 10 December !. 1916. The stallion
registration division issued secs. state
certificates for pure bred stations,
2l5o for grade stations, 49, for pure
bred jacks and iss for grade jacks.
II is OF interest TO Eote that the per-
centage of pure bred stations has in
creased from 50 per cent in 1912 when
the registration law went into effect, TO
~ per cent al the present time. This
is 4 larger percentage OF pure bred
stations than will be found in any

CATARRH LEADS.

Catarrh is as much a blood disease as
scrofula or rheumatism. It may be re-

and dizziness, ;npairs the taste. smell
and hearing. affects the voice, derahges
the digestion. and breaks down the gen.
eral health. It weakens the delicate
lung tissues and leads to consumption.

In the Forest.

When travelling east and travelling
west
The place love to roam
And which love the very best
Next to my dearest home,
That is the forest, dark and calm,
Which does afford me shades;
And here lie and listen
To the sweet birds serenades.
The robin busy with his nest
Sings loud his sweetest lays
OF hope that soon his work be blest
And crowned with better days;
When children from the nest will peek
and seek their mothers care,
Who from the morning until late
Seeks living everywhere.
The little blue+bird swiftly flies
Among the leafy trees;
And little wren frightened tries
To hide, for when he sees
The crow, blue-jay and greedy hawk
Espying from above,
He will not run the awful risk,
AS does the morning dove.

A shallow lake o'ergrown with grass

II danger lurked in that good feeding

She circled twice across the shallow

Her instinct told her something

But yet, as she approached the wat.

No sign Of danger could she see or

Just then from out a patch of grass

There came a sharp report, a burst
Of flame,
The goose received the charge right

And with q warning cry straight down
she came.
The hunter viewed his kill with gloat-

He waited but the geese returned no

To where they could be safe from
