WAR SPECTACLE IS PROCURED
FOR FAIR.

Advance notices Of "The War Of

Fair of Hexas. Oct 13 to 28, proclaim
this the greatest pyrotechnical d<play

L. knight, president Of the State Fair,
said. Patrons Of the 1912 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 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
tons" has tried to bring to us in
America portrayal of the speetacu-
lar side Of the combat.
BY the immense crowds which at
tended last year it was clea rly demon
strated that patrons Of the fair are
highly in favor of high class fire
works. Recognizing this, we adopted
the time-honoed principle Of the fair
