UNCLE SAM AT STATE FAIR
Government Adding New and Interest,
ing Features to Its Patriotic
Exhibit at Sedalia.

Every day that passes adds some
new feature to the patriotic exhibits
that Uncle Sam is getting ready to
send to the Missouri Staue Fair, Sep.
TENDER % to 29. Not only is Uncle
Sam getting together the vast display
of things that will incite all Mis-
sourians to a greater love of country
and a keener interest in the welfare
of the boys who have gone from Mis-
souri, farms and shops and homes, but
England and France are going to join
in sending to Sedalia this fall the
greatest display of war relics and ma
terials ever gotten together. There
will be guns from the Somme, grim
old veterans Of the great campaigns
of that name. England will send rel
les from Flanders and the Ypres. Ca
nadians will send relics that they have
captured or used on the salients they
have attacked and taken.
But more realistic and more vivid
than these speeches. yet eloquent
relics will be the acres of visualized
warfare, with their No Mans Land ly-
ing between the trenches that will
shelter the dummy soldiers of oppos-
ing armies, Into these trenches will
crawl the tanks" their machine guns
splitting fire as they brush aside the
yards Of barbed wire entanglements.
AS they move across No Mans Land
the a%eroplanes will rise from the han
gars back Of the American trenches
and drop bombs on the dummy Teu-
tons.
Back of the Sammies and their
trenches will be the Red Cross units
and ambulances and hospitals, and
still farther in the rear the war kitch-
ems and ration depots and munition
depots and back of these the heavy
guns and the rest camps of the Sam
mics. These scenes will depict war as
it is and bring to Missourians as In no
other way the sacrifice and devotion
that prompts Missouri's fighting men
and boys to follow Black Jack Per
shing against a foe that is ingenious
and powerful.

PICKING CROSS STATE ROAD
Highway Commission Holds a Meeting
in Kansas City to Decide
on the Route.

The members Of the state highway
commission were in Kansas City re-
Gently TO inspect and decide which of
two proposed cross-state highways
shall receive federal aid. The commits
sion was there several days and in
spected roads in Johnson, Cass and
Jackson counties.
Fifty men attended a meeting OF
the commission. They represented
roads in each Of the counties.
+. l.. Sanford, chairman of the com
mission, told the men the highway
commission had selected a temporary
route for an east and west road. 1t
passes through Jefferson City, and
one object of the visit to Kansas City
was to find an entrance to that city
over the proposed route. Both John
son and Cass counties are very eager
TO have the road.
Federal aid" Mr.. Sanford said,
can be secured only for cross.state
roads. We have selected a route neal
the center Of the state, east and west,
and passing through the states CAPT
tai. We are eager to certify the route
as Don as we can. We would like to
have Missouri be the first state to
designate a route"
Cass county made a big bid for the
road. The county is hampered by the
township unit control in road work.
Funds have not been easy to get. The
county court could not lend much
more than its moral support to max
ing rock roads. So the people of Har-
risonville and Pleasant Hill raised
money by subscriptions to provide the
county's share toward a road to re-
ceiVe federal aid. The fund raised
amounts to $4,000.
