Camp 10 Great Exhibit
Grounds.
SANITATION VERY STRICT
Conditions Praised By. Prssidsrt Wilson.
ineinsestsrs Are New Feature Of
Health Safeguarding Service.

The State Fair grounds are the last
word In cleanliness. Everything Il
ready for the great exhibit which
starts Sept u and closes Sept. -.
Several score worktncn have been
busy during the past few weeks con
yertlng the grounds from a military
camp TO a show ground. but the work
Il now finished.
Cleanliness II a watchwoni this year
with Fair board officials. Every struc-
ture. from the hog barns to the dome
building. are Ia the best 81 shape.
When the state militia was taken 10
the Fair grounds previous to entrain-
ment for the Mexican border. the
health experts OF the I. y. @. saw that
every safeguard was taken TO preserve
the health OF the soldiers
So well done was the work that the
war department saw ft to praise the
conditions. The army men installed
dozens of incinerators for the burning
Of garbage and trash. These incin-
erntors still remain on the grounds and
will DO used during tho State Fair.
Their presence preclndes the possibility
OF any bad health conditions.
Company Of Militia
Plans are now being considered by
the state board and Governor Dunno
By which a company OF militia may
be called for service during the Fair
In case they are. Fair visitors may not
t.ss4 NTH al
receive the advantage OF their work.
for they will aid In preserving the
sanitary conditions.
Many improvements have been made
at the grounds. Fourteen thousand
dollars has been spent In the past few
A cement sidewalk ten feet wide has
been built from the main entrance 10
the machinery hail building. II affords
a pleasant walk to this attraction
center.
Women will no doubt be glad TO hear
building repaired. II Is now IN ex.
cellent condition and affords ine
place for the woman who has seen
all tho exhibits TO sit down and watch
tie crowds.
Parking For Automobiles
Another feature which VIII he vel.
coined by hundreds IL the laying on
OF a space for the parking OF auto
mobiles. This II IN the space at the
west ends Of the grounds near the
swine IA yilions. A corps OF employees
will be In charge SO that the auto.
mobile owner may leave his machine
with the assurance that II will be well
cared for.
The men In charge OF the grounds
and arrangements for the Fair feel
safe in saying that the thousands who
visit the biz exhibit from all parts o.
the state will declare on leaving that
the state board has left no stone un.
turned In providing for the comfort
and welfare Of all visitors.
