: Des Moines. Aug. Bin two double
tents to the east Of the newspaper
pavilions on the Iowa state fair grounds
and fronting on Grand avenue an ex-
i1ibit Of articles made in the state in
stitutions under the board Of control
has been arranged. This Is the most
extensive exhibit ever planned by the
state institution supertntendents. IN

there is an exhibit Of dairy cattle from
the dairy herds Of the state institu-
tions. This exhibit is in a tent near the
horse barns There is also an agri-
cultural exhibit along with the indus
tria! display.
Every one Of the state institutions Is
represented. The women and the girls
have turned out some excellent work
il, the fancy work line, in rug weaving
and in canned products. The men and
boys make brooms, harness, shoes,
brick and tile, rugs, baskets, furniture
and similar products. And the work.
manship is professional, not amateur
isl1. &
Along with the exhibits each institu-
ton has literature to give out explain
ing something Of the institution. In
all of II the ideals OF the men and
women in charge Of the state instltu-
rions and of the board of control mem :
bers are evidenced. 1t is apparent they
are studying and working and striving
to be helpful to the unfortunates and
it is apparent too that they are sus-
ceeding.
The reformatory at Anamosa ex-
plains that Notwithstanding many
handicaps there are many helpful
agencies in the reformatory and there
is abundant evidence that many OF
those committed to it's custody have
after reflection, appreciated thorough
" the interest the state has in their
welfare and made honest efforts to
avail themselves of the opportunities
afforded them. Very many have, since
released, gone back to the world, be
gun life anew under very trying cir
cumstances, lived down the mistakes
of their earlier days and are now re-
spected citizens Of their communities"
1T Is explained that of those who
have been confined Z in state prisons
statistics show that about 60 per cent
after being released either live good
lives or are net heard from while about
40 per cent will continue to go wrong
no matter what IA done for them.
