10000 WENT BY AUTO.
Interesting Statistics Regarding
State Fair Attendance Reported
by Secretary COrey-Few in
Twenty Mile Radius Go
by Train.

One hundred and forty thousand
persons, a majority of whom were
Iowa farmers, came to the annual
Iowa state fair last fall by automo-
bile, according to the report of A.
B. Corey, secretary of the state fair
association, to the meeting of the di-
restors of the state fair association.
The report in part follows:
The total state fair attendance for
the week was POI, 1872. SURPRISING all
previous records by IL, 800, and the
1915 attendance by 47r000. The ad-
missions department kept a record
of the automobiles passing thru the
gate and also made careful estimates
OF those remaining in the camp
grounds over night. These figures
show that there were 25,3O7 auto
mobiles 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 packed outside
the fair grounds. it is safe to say
that one-half the state fair atten-
dance came in automobile.
Going a little further l 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; 23
per cent within 40 miles; SO per
cent within sixty miles and forty per
cent within of all their business or
iginated from outside a radius of six
ty miles. In other words, the auto
mobile was the favorite conveyance
up to about 40 or so miles and from
there on was on an equal footing
with the railroads"

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
Into Peaceful Homes on This Side of
the Water the Christ Spirit
Should Come without Hin
drance.

Many of our holidays are mere
loafing days With no particular
meaning. Thanksgiving Day, which
for those who founded it, was a
definite and earnest recognition OF
the blessings of Almighty God, is
for most people merely time for
overeating. But much more of the
spirit of Christmas remains. The
world seems TO forget for. the mo-
ment a little of its hardness.
That is the outcome of the custom
of giving This habit is of course
carried to a preposterous extent.
Much Of it is pure waste. But after
all the habit of making gifts is q
valuable one. The man who gets
used to parting with his cherished
money to please some one else may
find that the highest pleasure comes
in making other people happy.
Into this struggling, grasping,
bloody world, the loving face of the
historic Christ shines like one
wholly alien to our selfish striving.
His gospel has been preached these
nineteen hundred years. and yet men
are deaf to it. That does not de-
tract from the force or the truth IF
it. 1t simply displays the impervi-
BUSINESS of mems hearts and the
thickness of their heads.
Many people are saying that the
world has made no progress since
the first Christmas, because great
nations still ignore the call of
Peace on earth, good will to men"
But it should be remembered that
war in those days was the perman-
ent condition, now it is the excep-
tional one. Let every one help
create that world sentiment that
shall show the wickedness of it all.
and the folly of this treason to the
Christ spirit.
Into our peaceful homes On this
side of the water, the Christ spirit
should come without hindrance.
May the holiday season be one when
jealousies and rivalries and money
getting and worldly ambitions shall
be set aside. Let us have more of
the child spirit of enjoyment of the
simple things of life. Let there be
the readiness to share ones good
things with those in need.
