Lawson Airline Would Estab'
Iish Shops in This City.
Must Have Field for Planes To
Land, However.

Repair shops and a permanent
landing field in Topeka may be estab-
lished by the Lawson Transcontinental
Airline corporation, according to let
ter received in Topeka today from A.
w. Lawson, president of the company.
The letter states that the Lawson
plane was given its trial flight August
21. Other tests on the plane will be
made next week. At the conclusion
OF the tests, the plane will start for
New York via the air. In a short
time thereafter the big 26-passenger
ship viii begin its transcontinental
flight.
This first trip will be in the nature
of a pathfinding trip and its aim will
be twofold. One to establish an ac-
ceptable and practical air route from
New York to San Francisco. And the
other to lay out and select landing
fields which will become a permanent
part of the transcontinental airline
terminal facilities.
1t has already been promised by Mr.
Lawson that Topeka will be one of
the stops on the pathfinding trip and
apparently it is up to Topeka herself
whether this city is to be one of the
regular stops on the flights of the big

Three Finger jack Goodwin, who
spent the winter in Topeka two years
ago and conducted a workingman's
revival meeting in North Topeka. has
given up his fight on the devil and is
now devoting his time to fighting Boil
shevickism on the Pacific coast as a
government employe.
Goodwin is remembered by many
Topekans because of his unusual per-
sonality. his unique ways and his Won
derful tales Of his life in the under
world and his reformation. While
here he told of his opening of the
famous House of Lords gambling
establishment in Joplin, Mo, and of
the many fortunes he won and lost in
the Missouri town on the turn of a
card--one hundred and twenty thou
sand dollars being the most he ever
won on one hand, he said.
Goodwin left here in an automobile
for the Pacific coast with the avowed
purpose Of devotinE his time to anti
radical activities and how he is carry

Accurate Reproductions in Free

Big Night Show Most Popular
Exposition Feature.
SHOW YANKS IN FIGHTING
Also Return to America Will Be
Wildly Depicted.
New York Skyline and Return
of First Ship Shown.

Those persons who attend the big
night show at the Kansas Free Fair
the week of September S-13 will have
small cause for disappointment, ac-
cording to all advance dope. Last
years the night show was one of the
greatest successes of Kansas fairdom.
and with an augmented and enlarged
bill Of entertainment this year there
will be small chance for any less of
a show than the one of 1918.
The feature of the night show this
year will be the fireworks spectacle
which shows the defeat of the Ger
mans at the Battle of St. Mihiel. the
victorious march of the Yankee
doughboys into the town vacated by
the Huns, and the subsequent cleanup
of the place. From this point in
Americas war game the spectacle
jumps to that most sacred moment in
the history of America, the day the
first ship loaded with returning heroes
from overseas slowly came to rest in
New York harbor.
An Accurate Reproduction.
This portion of the pageant ar
ranged by ]. Saunders Gordon, of the
North American Fireworks company,
shows the skyline of New York, the
lights of the harbor, and in the dis
lance the approaching transport which
brought home the first of the overseas
men. The ship draws nearer and
nearer until the audience can see the
forms of the men, can hear their
shouts of joy. and can feel again the
surge of thrilling joy which swept over
them when the troops paraded here.
In addition to the fireworks spec
tacle four or five first class vaudeville
acts have been engaged for the week.
Each one of these acts is said to be
new in Topeka and according to Phil
Eastman, secretary of the Kansas Free
Fair association, no expense has been
spared in contracting for the weeks
entertainment with the highest class
of open air entertainers who could be
found.
Most Popular Feature.
In 1918 the night shows at the big
free fair were events to be looked for
ward to by the fair going public. In
fact the shows were so popular that

duction. Hen and pachyderm are in
separable friends.
The two menagerie inmates struck
up an mountaineering last winter
when the circus was in winter quar-
ters. and when the show took to the
road this spring Biddy selected the top
of "Heros" head as her permanent
home. There she perches most of the
day, when she is strutting around thru
the elephant end of the menagerie
tent picking up stray morsels of grain
or bran. She is a favorite with all the
elephants, but she spends most o. her
time with Hero and she never takes
the liberty of perching on any other
elephants head.
