is the man who can discover nc%v fea-
lures each season with which TO et1ffy
his patrons The Iowa state fair has
worked ont good many new ideas for
the coming fair One Of the most note
worthy, also one Of peculiar signif-
canoe In connection with the develop
ment of better highways, is the
motor truck and transport parade
which VIII be put ON Friday, Au-
gust ..
This parade will take place on the
race track at one o'clock. The plans
have been elaborated on a truly gigan-
tic scale. 1t is expected that some
thing like 500 trucks, big and little.
Will be in line in this extraordinary
demonstration characteristic of the day
and age.
In picturing this mammoth exhibi-
ton of mechanical power the imagina-
ton may be allowed TO run riot and
then fall far short of the mark. For
in addition to the great variety and
character of the machines each and
every one will be decorated in accord
with the taste and fancy Of its owner.

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service ana sacrt-
flee of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength end morale Of the Allied ar
mics and the civil pOpulace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac
riflce will depend l,uropcs fate in tho
months to come. In the past year we
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude OF which is almost be-
yond CO. Yrehension l;ut with the
new demands that i!,;ve come, with
the liberar ion of nations freed from
German OPPRESSION. our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead of 1880
600 tons, We mus nip twcHty million
tons Of food to E@.Dpe ii the coming
Year-as much =; can be pushed
through our ports.
If the Allies had not been fed by
America, it would have been fmpos.
sible for them to mai..,,;in tPeir de.
fense against Germany. .
Meeting this world need on u purely
voluntary basis. the American people
have conclusively proved that democ-
racy is success an0 that in time Of
need it will rise to its own defense
If there were no other accomplish.
ment to its credit tie very fact that it
has shown the strength of democracy
has in itself more than justifei the
existence Of the Food Administration
In the eyes Of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on a basis of voluntary ,
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
"Many thinking Americana" said
Mr.. Hoover, "and the whole world
have been watching anxiously the last.
four months in tie fear that demo-
cratic America could not organize to
meet autOcratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that it could not be
DONE Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many d..
rectiOns and upon the mere word Of
inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage Of our Army and finances"
The history of the Food Administra.
ton has clearly shown that the trust
Of those who put their faith in democ-
racy has not been misplaced.
