have owned large amounts OF lands

FOR FAIR.

Advance notices Of "The War of

Il. Knight president Of the State Fair,
said. patrons Of the 1917 fair will
witness a spectacle as beautiful as it is
extraordinary.
No thought is more uppermost in
the minds of the American people to-
day than the terrible struggle across
the sea, and the entrance of the
United States into the conflict brings
us to a realization that our sons and
loved ones may soon be in The very
thick Of the fighting. With this in
mind the creators Of "The Waf or Ma
tions" has tried to bring to US in
America portrayal Of the spectacu-
lar side of the combat.
BY the immense crowds which at
tended last year it was clearly demon
strated that patrons of the fair are
highly in favor Of high-class fire
works. Recognizing this, we adopted
the time-honored principle Of the fair
management Of looking only for the
best to be procured and in "The War
Of Nations" it is our Judgment that
we have selected the greatest display
Of the kind that has ever been Of
fered"

pleased millions Of people have been
procured to make up a program of
