Realizing that celebration OF the
magnitude of the one planned for
Labor Day would not be complete
without fireworks with which to close
the days festivities, mammoth dis
play has been contracted Tor. ms
display is different than the usual
program furnished for occasions ike
this. A special spectacle Down, on
the Farm" is a 1922 creation in fire.
works and is series of set pieces,
trayesty. realism, and color, inter-
mingled with action which appeal to
every American. Down on the
FARM sntpauees two popular char
aetefs. Hiram ana Sainan 1iiE Hiram
is strenuously saving knotty stick
of wood on a sawbuck with crosscut
saw. while Samanthy is bending her
back over the wash tub getting out a
family wash. At one end of the field
a typical barn appears. Protruding
from stall windows in the barn APP
pears the heads of January, the mule,
and Bossy, the old family COW. In the
barnyard a giant Peacock displays
his plumage in all the colors OF the
spectrum. At the opposite end OF the
exhibition field full size tractor and
threshing machine are threshing gold
en- grain. This is truly wonderful
production.
Then another spectacle is listed-a
large production in lines of fire de-
picting modern warfare. An engage
ment between forts, dirigible and
an enemy battleship. The forts will
be realistically pictured in correct
lines. The battleship appears ap-
preaching from distanee-suddenly
it opens fire and the cannonading
from the turret and deck guns are
directed at the land Notifications and
are answered in return. Out from the
distance, high over head, appears a
dirgible, which opens fire on the bat
tleship with small guns and bomb
shells. The objects, the flames and
the roar Of battle produce picture
Of action that arouses the heart beat
Of patriotism in every spectator.
There will be many other set pieces,
rockets and shell that really makes
the final event of the big days cele-
bration the feature Of the entire pro-
gram.
Henry c. Wallace, secretary OF
agriculture, will not be the speaker
az the Labor Day celebration. The
following letter explains why:
Washington, August 20, 1922.-l
Dear Mr.. Brown:-Further reference
is made to our correspondence relative
to my attending the Labor Day cele- |
bration at Champaign. now find
that it will be impossible for me to
be with you, as | cannot leave
Washington while the industrial situa-
ton remains so unsettled. | am very
sorry that things have worked out in
TINS way, but am sure you will under
stand how necessary it is for me TO |
stay close to Washington during the
coming weeks.
very truly yours,
HENRY C. WALLACE"
The committee has secured in place
oi Mr. Wallace, J. H. Harper of the |
Illinois Agricultural Association,
