a widow on her own resources, she
courageously opened a rooming house
in an Ohio city and accumulated $751;

for business capital and the remaining
$4,000 she has presented to the Freed

STATE FAIR sILo SHOW.

9Silo Town at the Iowa State Fair
has been enlarged by the erection Of a
number of new sllos since the 1918
fair. The Iowa State Fair, by the way,
ID the only place in the Middle West
where the various kinds and makes OF
silos can be seen in completed form.
Other fairs, cramped for room, have so
f{r allowed only models or small Sec
tibns to be built. At the Iowa Fair silo
manufacturers have been allotted
space and invited to construct COM
plete silos, in order that fair visitors
might have an opportunity to study the
various makes intelligently, for 1t Is
pretty hard for the average man to
vision a completed structure merely
BY looking at few samples of mate
rtsl or a few courses Of brick.
Silo Town at the Iowa Fair is real
institution. 1t covers many acres OF
ground and there are more than twen-
ty completed structures showing the
various styles and makes and the dif-
ferent materials used in construction,
stave, cement, brick, block, tile, metal,
etc. .'... - .r.y

OPEN AIR VAUDEVILLE
At THE STATE FAIR.

Lovers Of good snappy vaudeville
and that includes pretty much the
whole burned family-will have an op-
portunity to enjoy it In liberal measure
at the coming Iowa State Fair.
Every afternoon in connection with
the race program and every evening
preliminary to the big night show the
platforms in front of the Amphitheatre
will be occupied with the best new and
novel acts the management has been
able to book.
No less than fifteen special acts will
be presented. tumbling, trapeze, bal
ancing. circus, etc, etc. Some of these
acts are positively terrifying in their
reckless defiance of the laws of gravi-
tation, which Of course makes them all
the more interesting. Others are SO
excruciatingly funny that they ap-
proach sublimity-if you can stretch
your Imagination to the point Of hook
ing the sublime and the ridiculous to-
gether. -.-
Neither pains nor money have been
spared in the effort to get acts that are
fresh and spectacular for a public that
has become discriminating in Its de-
SireS.
