Exhibitors Turn Under Acres Of Top
Soil, Demonstrations Being Wit
messed by Interested Crowds Of
Spectators-Fifty Tractors Work in
One FieId-onIy One Accident.

Cedar Rapids, Aug. AL predic-
tions for large crowds at the Cedar
Rapids Tractor demonstration held
true Wednesday when from 10000 to
$4,000 persons damned the headquar-
tiers grounds, blowing fields and all
the roads leading to these places.
From all over the northwest, farm
ers and implement men came to Cedar
Rapids to see the greatest aggrega-
ton of tractors ever shown in Iowa
Those who remained at the headquar-
tiers all morning underestimate the
size Of the crowd, as the greater pro-
portion went directly to the field where
the public blowing was taking place
Roads Filled With Cars.
There were over thousand auto
mobiles parked at / o'clock in the af-
ternoon and at least 1000 persons
We're on the field. For miles on every
road there were long strings of auto
mobiles, almost touching each other,
and carrying from five to twenty pas
sengers.
When the blowing was finished in
the afternoon it seemed that the in
tention Of every person present was
to set to the headquarters field and
see the machines at close range. From
o'clock until s o'clock every eXhib-
itor's tent was filled and the streets
between tents were crowded.
Only One Accident.
Even with the enormous attendance
there was little confusion. The polio
ing of the roads and the traffic rules
prevented accidents, with the eXcep-
ton of one-George Millard-who
fell under pillow being lowed to the
blowing field by a Flour City tractor.
Altho the operators nf the machine
did not see the accident, they sup
pose that Willard, in company with
several others was riding on the large
plow the tractor was pulling. He
either stepped off or fell off directly
in front of the heel of the pillow. which
passed over his body. fracturing one
hip. He was Immediately removed
to Mercy hospital. He was reported
resting easy, with chance to recover.
Exhibitors Well Satisfied.
Aside from the large crowds, the
chief feature Of the Cedar Rapids
demonstration is the sentiment of sat
isfaction expressed by the tractor
men. All compliment Cedar Rapids

he led the way into his specimen room
and prepared to give an account of the
habits and classifications of the insect
He exhibited tier after tier of drawers
filled with butterflies and explained that
1t has taken him over thirty years OF
work to collect them all. The total
number of individual insects is placed
between 5000 and 10000. and the collec-
ton embraces specimens from all parts
Of the world Every continent and prac-
tically every country Is represented al
least once:
Two large classidcations of butter
flies may be made, the day and night
butterflies. OF the former there are
many classes and some Of the more
common kinds are familiar even ia
those who know nothing of the study
The larger groups, some species of which
are found in the state, are nymphalidae
large and strong. the lycaenidae
very small butterfly, papilionidae, a
diminutive insect, most of the kinds
yellow, and the hesperidae. The larvae
of the pteris rapae under the papilion-
idae head, are the common cabbage eat
ters. Night butterflies are usually clas-
sified in four big divisions: sphingoi-
dea saturnoidea, bombycoidea and tin
eoidea. OF these the first kind has
many colors. but Is usually recognized
by it's straight wings and it's powerful
construction. 1t is often taken for a
humming bird if seen flying by day
The. bombycoidea is the largest kind,
some Of the greatest being caught in
India. Catocalas are very common
among the noctuidea. the regular night
butterfly, and are of very dull colors,
resembling bark.
1t Is interesting to note that in but.
terflies the male is usually smaller and
has more brilliant coloring than the
female, the opposite of what might be
expected. The colors of the night but
terflies do not stand the, light. and so it
is the day specimens that are generally

and therefore indistinguishable. Mr..
Faaborg has a method of catching it,
which he used quite frequently. He
carries with him a stick, and this he
rubs up and down the sides of the trees
until butterfly is dislodged Usually
the insect then flies some little distance
to another tree, but Is easily located.
1t is approached with large bottle and
chloroform. The mouth of the bottle
is placed, against the tree and around
the butterfly. and the specimen, over
come by the chloroform, falls back into
the bottle. Care is taken not to leave
many of the frail things in the bottle at
a time. since this would have the effect

Des Moines, Aug. 17.-E. S. Gose
deputy state auditor, who discussed the
subject, Reforms in Taxation" befor.
tors at Davenport today suggested
three important changes in the pres
ent taxation laws as follows:
"First-A county assessor to be APP
pointed by the board of supervisors
his duties to be to have full authority
over all township and city assessors
and assist them in their assessing To
meet with the executive council in
January of each year and tentatively
decide on values Of live stock and

and instruct them as to values, the as
SCISSOR to make up tax books with nee
essary help to be furnished by the
board of supervisors and to keep a line
on valuations and moneys and credits
thruout the year.
"Second-Authority should be given
the county assessor auditor, treasurer
and chairman Of the board of super
visors, or assessor and board of super
visors, TO equalize between individuals,
towns and cities.
'Third--All property to be assessed
100 cents on the dollar instead of Is
per cent of valuation, excepting posi-
bly, government bonds and certificates
and automobiles. And the levies should
be changed to conform to the in
crease in taxable value of property and
made by mills or tenths of a mill
Deputy Auditor Gose said that while
it would be folly to thinlythat any law
the legislature might enact would do
away with all the evils and inequan-
ties that now exist in our present
methods, nevertheless many irregulari
ties and unjust inequalities can be
overcome by carefully worked out
revenue law.
Present Defects.
Some may ask the question: What
are some Of the defects in the present
revenue law" said Mr.. Gose. Most
all Of you who are present are county
auditors or have been at one time. You
have learned that human nature is
pretty much alike everywhere when
IT comes to paying taxes. No one
wants to pay any more than he is
obliged to yet how much easier it is to
pay your tax II you know the fellow
across the road Is paying his full share.
On the other hand II you know your
neighbor across the way or your COM
petitor is not properly assessed or if
other classes of property from wha,
you possess are not assessed proper

there Is something wrong.

wants to pay his full share Of tax but
when he finds out that he Is only one
out Of many who is doing so. he be-
comes dissatisfied. Now what is the
reason that all Of the people are not

MUST BE COMPLETED
IN 400 DAYS

The question on all sides now is.
when will the work begin on the con-
struction of Polk County's PIT miles
of sheet asphalt roads? We have
talked with parties this morning
who know and the answer is that
thirty days is required to advertise
for bids for bonds and that it is safe
to say that actual construction work
will begin not later than August LIST,
and that the contract guarantees the
completion OF all the roads and
bridges in time not longer than 400
calendar days. However the contrac-
tors begin even today in planning for
their duties and the minute the bonds
are validated they will be ready, and
will begin active construction OF these
