"The Human Night Hawk" as Louis
Gertson is Familiarity known, comes to
the big Interstate Fair direct from the
Aviation Section Signal Corps O.. r.
of the L. S. Army Station at Memphis,
Tenn. Gertson was recently presented
with the commission of lieutenant,
which }e r%ightfully deserved.
Besides being all wrapped up in his
work and having an eager desire to
be of service to his country, Gertson
has found time to scare up some likely
recruits for the profession which he
follows. The government granted him
leave of absence in order that he might
be able to fill all his exhibition dates,
Of which he has many, being booked
solid for the season, and his new
French scout machine will receive it's
first introduction to the American pub
lie. 1t is the very latest type of a
scout war plane. Gertson will be sta
toned at Ashburn, ILL.,, a little suburb
close to the city limits of Chicago

The machinery exhibit will be one
of the largest in the Northwest. The
Merchants Pavilion will be filled with

dollars in value, all tending to inter.

Everybody is looking forward to the
week of July 1928, as most people are
counting on it as a week of education,
recreation and amusement. These
are the dates on which the big Inter-
state Fair will be held at Fargo and
the fair management promises to
make this years show bigger and bet
ter than ever before, they being fully
alive to the advantages that will ac-
crue to every resident of the state
through this annual event, and are
sparing neither time, effort nor money
toward making this years fair one Of
the greatest educational exhibits in
the history of the state. Nearly $751;

where the United States government
is erecting an aviation field to be
opened shortly with eighty sheds and
as many machines.
In conclusion it might be added that
Louis Gertson is very enthusiastic
about his connection with the army
and he urges all brother aviators to
enlist and do their bit. In his tempo
rary duties as an instructor he hopes
to meet many show boys and profess
sional fiiers.
The fair officials consider themselves
extremely fortunate in securing the
services of Gertson as he has for years
been the acknowledged leader of trick
aviators and his flights boths day and
night are spectacular to a degree. 1Ss
night flights will be accompanied by
| suitable fireworks and Gertson in his
latest type scout var plane will give
daily demonstrations of the military
maneuvoring of these monsters of the

GORGEOUS EVENING DISPLAY
PATRIOTIC FIREWORKS A FEA.
TURE AT INTERSTATE FAIR,
JULY 20 TO %.

The patriotic fireworks display will
be II Of the big features of the night

terstate Fair to be held at Fargo.
July 1928. These night shows always
attract a large and enthusiastic crowd
and Will be especially appropriate at
This time on account of the patriotic
features which will be shown during
the week. Early in the season it was
feared that it would be impossible to
put on this big and popular fireworks
show on account of the inability to
procure the materials with which to
put it IN. However, it seems that fire.
works materials and the materials
used in war munitions differ very
greatly. In fact hardly any of the in
gradients used in the manufacture of
fireworks are used in the manufacture
OF munitions, and on ascertaining that
fact, the board have not hesitated to
go ahead with that feature of the show
which should prove more Of an attrac-
ton than ever this year. The Thearle-
Dufheld Fireworks Display Company,
one OF the worlds greatest fireworks
frms, will furnish the show in its en-
t1rety and for the first time will bring
to North Dakota many new and novel
features of the ~pyrotechnic art.
Saturday Night the Big Carnival.
Free attractions and midway shows
to surpass any previous Offering OF
Interstate Fair for Fargo, July 1928.
The Interstate Fair management
considers itself very fortunate in the
class of free attractions they have
been able to book for the free show
in front of the g%randstand both after
noon and evening at the big Interstate
Fair, July 1928. The SIX FLYING
LAMYS in their spectacular act are
without a peer among gymnasts. This
big feature act will be supplemented
by other stellar attractions by such
noted performers a Leroy & Paul
and the Kalinowski Bros.
The big racing program for Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday will include
some of the fastest harness races ever
seen on the Fargo track and on Fri
day and Saturday will come the great

every nerve toward the hanging up of
new North Dakota records and victory.
Numerous bands have been engaged
and will be on hand during the entire
week, rendering twelve to fifteen con.
certs daily for the enjoyment and en-
tertainment of the throngs. One of
the big features will be the Federal
Military Band, never before seen in
this state, touted as one of the crack
organizations of the country.
Auto polo and ladies' automobile
races will be featured each day Of the
big fair, beginning on Tuesday. These
big free features include night fire.

WHY LIVE IN
DIRTY TOWN?
I have in mind two towns.

1 nave III mluu TWO COWnS.
Entering one, the railroad runs be-
tween two rows of dirty back yards,
filled with tin cans and rubbish.
Entering the other, it passes houses
neatly painted, back yards with flowers
in them, and streets swept clean.
These two towns had the same pop
ulation five years ago.
But recently two new factories
have moved to one of them; real es-
tate values have advanced; new houses
are being built; everybody is pros
porous and happy.
And the residents Of the other town
cannot understand their bad luck"
This year 5000 cities and towns in
the United States will set aside one
week as a cleanup and paint-up week.
The greatest miracles of modern
times have been performed with bon
fires, drain-pipes, soap, and paint.
The Philippines have been made a
healthier place to live in than the
average American town.
Typhoid has been stamped out Of
Serbia.
The Panama canal zone has been
transformed from a dismal, unhealthy
swamp to a wholesome place for
homes.
The French, with a force of ITO, 1000,
lost $4,000 lives in their effort to build
the canal; our deaths were 1000 out
of an average force of $4,000.
Our record there was nothing short
of miraculous-and a cleanup cam
| paign did it.
Last year Cleveland, in it's Cleanup
and Paint-Up week, disposed of refuse
sufficient to fill a train three and one
half miles long.
Another middle western town gath
cred it's boys together, and, by Offering
a reward for each 100 tin cans, abol-
ished its unsightly back yards in a
single day.
"Help us Clean Up Philadelphia"
was the slogan that banished the dirt
in that city.
Don't let your good cigar start a
bad fire." was one Of Rochester's bat
tie cries.
A Cleanup and Paint-Up week
means less sickness, fewer fires, bet
ter children, and higher property
values.
There was nee IN old Roman named
Crassus. He trained a band Of slaves
to be firemen, masons, and painters.
Then he made it his business to buy
up houses on fire, and put the fire out.
Also he bought houses that needed
painting and painted them.
And his houses increased so much
In value that he became the richest
man in Rome.
"There is no better test of the civ.
ilization Of a community than this
How much paint does it use?"
A wise man said that.
It is not given to you to found a
religion or make a great invention or
discover a new continent.
But you can make your town q
cleaner, better place to live in.
And by so doing you give a little
push to the Chariot Of Civilization.
You become, in a small but impor
tant way, q co-worker with Prometheus
and Socrates and Plato and FRANKLIN
and Watt and Edison and even Provi
dence itself.-Bruce Barton, in "Ev
cry Week."

Pigs Under the Fence

Half the ingenuity, determination,
and persistence that are applied in
Congress to selfish local ends would
put the nation on a sound basis if
they were directed by clear heads
and true hearts. The spectacle Of
Congressman trying to slip their
pork through or under the obstruc-
tons raised by the present world
crisis is one that excites a certain
admiration for the amount of energy
thus misapplied.
Chairman Small, in introducing the
river and harbor bill, declared stoutly
that every item constitutes an
emergency either of commerce or of
national defense" Manufacturing
emergencies is about the easiest
thing in the world. When a Repre-
sentative asked if the new projects
wefe intimately associated with the
question of national defense in a
military way" in accordance with
Secretary Bakers directions, Mr..
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1917-06-11

Small admitted that some Of the
items are more intimately associated
than Others" He might have said
with equal accuracy that the longest
way round is the shortest way home.
Boston is nearer New York than San
Francisco.
Representative.Frear of Wisconsin
estimated that preparedness was not
related to a quarter of the projects.
It is probably a generous estimate.
There is no disposition to stop the
supply of any absolutely necessary
commercial need. But Chairman
Small himself admitted that only a
third of the projects for which sur
yeys were asked would finally be car
ried through. Mr.. Lenroot asked
why Government engineers should
waste their time making so many
useless surveys, to which there was
no answer.
The Congressman who are trying
to get through their pet measures
in spite of the nations disapproval
have not walked up yet. 1t is the
business of the best elements among
their own constituents-those who
are not hungry for pork-to wake
them as rudely and as suddenly as
possible.

New Liberty Loan inducements

Those who contemplate taking
some or some more Of the Liberty
loan bonds should feel the stimulus
of the announcement that they are
not yet all subscribed. In ordinary
investments the fact that plenty Of a
security is to be had sometimes dis
courages gregarious buyers, who
hate not to be the last: a psychology
cal popularity which probably causes
more losses on invested money than
all the other reasons put together.
But in the case of the Governments
credit the excellence of the security
is evident enough, the motives Of the
subscriber are worthy enough to
overcome any constitutional shyness
about stepping forward where others
hesitate.
To know that several hundred mil
lions of the bonds are still to be had
is on the other hand a sure appeal. to
investors who have been keeping out
on the theory that the loan would be
greatly oversubscribed anyway. 1t
means that the subscriber can hope
to get that for which he bids. With
the time short for subscribing, the
demand for the Liberty bonds is
therefore due for big jump at the
wind-up,

Died a'Borning.

The much advertised Socialist
conference at Stockholm has been
called off. It was in some way to
set up the principle that minorities
rule, that the tail should wag the
dog. In this case the dog has OBJ
jected. When it was clearly shown
that German intrigue was at the bot
tom of the propaganda for peace
without indemnities or annexations,
that German Socialists were being
temporarily encouraged in order to
distract the councils of the new gov
eminent in Russia, and finally that
the German contingent had no au-
thority to speak for its government,
it was inevitable that the farcical
nature of its whole proceeding should
be exposed.
Hilquitt and his fellows who have
been grazing the edge of treason in
this country should be grateful to
this Government for refusing to is
sue them passports, thus sparing
them the humiliation of attending a
conference that dissolved of its own
weight. The French Socialists were
likewise discouraged from attending.
Finally, Germany had to repudiate
the position which the German con-
tingent assumed, and there was moth
ing left but to disband.
From time to time there will arise
mischievous organizations and COM
mittees, anxious for peace at any
price, many of them inspired by the
enemies of our country. A favorite
form of their propaganda to take
in that of demanding that the United
States Government shall forthwith
state the conditions of peace. The
Administration, of course, will not
be influenced by these self-consti-
tuted international statesmen. Med
ding hands are not wanted in so
delicate a business. 1t is strange
that some of these efforts are not
exerted to compel the Kaiser to tell
what Germany is fighting for. En-
deavor in that direction would not
he wholly misdirected.
