AerOplane Flights


Matheson and Severson who are with
the Canont's Allied Exhibition of

Notes.
Night fair was no less an attraction
than the day entertainments. On all
evenings great crowds thronged the
midway and shows and stands were
open until a late hour. The free at
fractions kept thousands of automo-
biles parked in the fair grounds UNI
til nine to ten o'clock each evening.
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evenings Martins Fireworks proved a
great drawing card. They were real
ly worth seeing, and the effects OBJ
tanned were wonderful.
Jim Brown of Neenah, the veteran
race starter, who has acted in that
capacity here, was a visitor at the
fair.
Hon. A. ]. Plowman took his herd
OF Guernseys to the State fair, leav-
ing last Friday. Well give him a
vote OF confidence-it's a sure thing
his cattle prove themselves by their
appearance alone.
There was no parade as scheduled
did not propose to head the parade
without extra pay. Music throughout
the fair was rendered by the Second
Provisional Regiment Band, the mus
is OF which made such hit at Camp
Douglas.
Farmers attended from every part
OF the county-and in their automo-
biles, too. Some of us city folks know
we're behind the times but it is a mat
ter of bread and butter before gaso-
line. And our brothers out yonder
don't worry about bread and butter,
at least not quite as much.
1t might be said too, that this was
the busiest" fair ever known or
hoped for. Usually, you know, they
are making mud cakes over on the
grounds about Thursday.
An automobiles caught fire on
Thursday afternoon, and it was ex-
tlnguished only after much hard work.
The car next to which the grass
caught, was roadster coupe. Need
less to say it spread over a ten foot
stretch in a second. Quick thought
and action saved much damage and
probably lives, for had one tank ex-
ploded it is not unlikely that many
cars would have been ignited. There
after the fire department had chemi-
Gals and men on hand. The hundreds
of drivers deserve much credit for
keeping their heads Sudden and
needless actions might have resulted
in injuries.
There was no place at the fair this
year where regular meals were serv-
ed. The customary church lunch cor
ner and ladies dining hall were
missed
