Des Moines, Aug. 2S.-Five big days
this week iss what the Iowa state fair
and exposition management Is count
ing on. Every day is a special day
and with the right kind OF weather the
attendance should be large.
Today was manufacturers and i'm
prement dealers day. No set program
was provided for the visiting machin-
cry men but the Iowa Implement Deal
ers' Association maintained headquar-
tiers in the machinery hall and all Of
the implement men were urged to sign
up and receive souvenirs. John P.
Mullen, Of Fonda, superintendent OF
the machinery department., was pres
ent and personally gave out the
souvenirs.
Tractor demonstrations are being
given each morning on a seventy five
acre tract on East Thirteenth street to
the south of the fair grounds. Seven
big tractor concerns are making the
demonstration. Some of the tractor
companies are not represented and are
protesting against the others demon
strating. The outsiders claim that
those who are demonstrating have.
broken an agreement reached at Cedar
Rapids this year not to demonstrate AT
but one show in the state this year.
They made this agreement. they say,
because they do not wish to go to the
expense of making so many demon
strations. However, the seven big COM
panies showing here say they can not,
afford to stay away from the Iowa
state fair.
Otto Timm. who makes his head
quarters in Grinnell is going back to
Window Mimi, the home of his par
ents. and build two a;rships. he says.
He wants to have one for emergencies.
He broke his machine in aHghting af-
ter beautiful night flight Friday
night. The lights in the center field
opposite the grandstand where he at
tempted to alght blinded him. he
said, so that he did not quite clear the
fence around the race track as he
alighted. Timm himself was unin-
jured. This is his first season out and
everyone was delighted with his
flights made here
Ruth Law, after objecting to the
field in front of the amphitheater fer
starting and alighting, chose field to
the south Of the fair grounds from
which to make her ascents apd her re-
turns. Miss Law makes fine fight
She expects to enter a trans -conti-
mental flight which is to be attempted
by some of the leading aviators of this
country at future date.
