Free Fair Has Become
A Vacation Period for
The Kansas Motorists
Thousands Come Topeka for the Great Exposition
They Go Home Full of Praise and Hot Dogs and Cider
There Is Spirit That Counts Out the Fair Grounds

The exhibits are not lost sight Of
The man who raised the biggest pump
kin and brought 1t to the fair acquires
a certain distinction. For does not
prise and examine the tag to learn
whose it is.
Start and Stop.
Loaded with free literature and free
samples, the visitors tramp past the
various exhibits inspecting and admir-
ing. Suddenly. they run into a crowd
and step. Some one else is trying to
sell something. A man whose voice
won him his job is peeling potatoes
end apples with lightning speed, sud-
denly sllcjng them up into artistic
bits. to the aston.shEhelIt of women
who believed themselves experts. But
few buy. There must be q trick to it
somewhere. they reason, and pass on.
Inevitably neiGhbor meets peighbor,
for regardless of the crowd, it is de-
creed that tt ose who come from the
same community shall meet and dis
cuss their experiences. That's part of
the pleasure. Here, acquaintance of
the home community who pass each
other up with a nod back home, greet
each other as warm friends. For
that's the spirit of the Free Fair.
AS the day advances the crowd in
creases. Street cars with two trailers
continue to empty their loads at the
gate. Motor cars keep entering only
to be motioned on and on thru the
narrow road until they are out of the
grounds again. This time the driver
is satisfied to park his car a few
blocks away and walk down.
By the middle of the afternoon
everyone in Kansas seems to be at the
Fair grounds. Yet there are more
people than usual on the street Here
and there are groups of youths drink
ing an excess of cokes. Others and
older ones are taking advantage of the
bargains at the stores.
Over at the state house some are
finishing their trip with the climax
of going up the dome. Many start but
fewer finish. For everyone who
stands on the dizzy platform looking
over the Kaw valley, pointing out the
places of interest, there is another
stranded between the dome and the
bottom of the stairway.
Such is the Kansas Free Fair.

Civic Round Table Recommends To-

The Civic Round Table recon-
mended that the civic and classical
ton clubs of Topeka pass a resolution
asking that the city of Topeka secure
membership in the National Aero
nautical association. at the meeting
this noon at Chamber of Commerce.
The proposition was presented by w.
W. Wallace, of the Longren Aircraft
corporation. The association is the
largest aircraft organization in the
United States and Topeka will be
placed on the routes and charts of the
organization if a membership is Sc
cured. The city has never held mem
bership in the organization.
The round table also urged the civic
clubs of the city to ask the city COM
mission to have the Topeka Railway
company repave its right Of way with
asphalt to conform with rest Of the
paving on Kansas avenue when the
tracks are replaced following the fair.
Mrs. H. Mayfield appeared before
the round table and asked for the
support of civic clubs in the work OF
