Eastern Exposition
Reports Flood Losses
Damages of $4,000 Resulted From Spring Flood;
Over 100000 Spectators Visited Exhibits

and to private property in EXPOSE
ton structures. The exposition
closed the year with cash on hand
Of $68 ,376y6l.
Under Water
In outlining the years operations
to the trustees, President Brooks
said that one of the outstanding
features was, the fact that 1t was
possible to present the 1885 EXPOSE
ton. Entirely under water during
the March foods to a depth ranging
from nine to fifteen feet, the task
of cleaning and restoring grounds
and buildings required the entire
summer. With the opening of the
Exposition, the only flood trace re-
naming were markers on each
building showing height attained
by the flood waters. ,
Mr.. Brooks called attention u
the attendance last year Of 300,437
the third largest in Exposition his
tory. This was obtained by general
excellence of the exhibition, he
stated, and despite adverse weather
which included rain on Sunday eve
ming, the opening day, rain on Mon
day, Children's Day, and again
Thursday evening, coupled with
cold weather on Friday of EXPOSE
ton week. The increase in the total
daily attendance was reflected by
gains in attendance at the after
noon grandstand and evening Horse
Show performances. The weather
however, was responsible in holding
the evening grandstand attendance
TO the average of the last two years

Stamp News

RUMORS from Washington pre-
~ dict a new stamp, or set of
stamps, covering the trans-Pacific
flights. Some sources hint that the
present 25-cent rate will be re-
duced. Others mention stamps of
varying values covering the trips
to Hawaii, Guam, Manila, and
China.
Rumors also cover possibility of
early connections with China. An
nouncement of this opening flight
may come too late to be included
in this column and still give COL
lectors time to send their covers
to China for the return trip. Local
postmasters, however, get such
news in their postal bulletins di-
rect from Washington. Collectors
should see them for earliest in
formation about such covers.
Liberia has issued new series
of bi-colored triangles in six
values. The first five picture
birds and animals of Liberia. The
six-cent stamp bears a portrait of
President Edwin J. Barclay.
IL .
King Christian x of Denmark
next June will celebrate his 25th
anniversary on the throne, and a
set of six stamps will be issued
for the event.
Peru has just issued colorful
series of 10 postage and 13 air
mail stamps, illustrating important
places, industries, events, and
leaders of that country.

Similar issues are expected
shortly from Nicaragua. There
will be IL values of ordinary post

M. Stadtherr, who has operated
the Sank Centre Meat and Mer-

Meat Market in the Pendergast
building on Third Street, closed
the doors of the business Saturday
evening and retired from the field.
The understanding of the new
state auto license law, which goes
into effect January 1, 1918, is that
the fee will be SIS for term Of
three years, instead of $1.50 for a
like period, as has been in opera
ton the past three years. Under
the new law tags for one year are
$500, and $1.5O each for the next
two succeeding years.

s Sport
& Wags
BY Chuck Rattle

Hardly Is the summer picture
fading out Of focus before a new
and delightful fall scene comes ov-
erlapping across the sports horiz-
on. Tis the season close at hand
when the air gets a little crisper
and whispers Of football begin
stealing around the corner. Coach
es begin their worries, and the
football season is soon to be in full
swing. September marks the OPP
ening for the local footballers
when preliminary hardening up
workouts will begin in preparation
for a full season schedule. First
game is set for September 18th,
and Coach Gene Harvey, now va
-cationing in Iowa, announced be-
fore he left that practice would
get under way on the first. Which
gives the boys something a little
over two weeks to get hardened up.
And I think they'll need it.
But you know it's not the
boys nor the material that
seems TO have them worried.
It's the fact they don't know
where to play this year that
has the school heads buffaloed.
Now it's swell to have football
games and nice schedules but
one Of the prime requisites for
q good football program Is q
field-I found that out with
not much painstaking effort.
The problem has the boys fud-
died to the extent that every
lot that looks like it might be
sizable Is being measured. In
fact many Of the boys are now
carrying yard measures In
their pockets rumor has it. The
fair grounds field Is most def
initely out, it seems. The boys
would be playing in dust up to
their knees in about a week.
There Is not as much turf ON
the top as there Is hair ON q
frog. One piece of property is
being Investigated though. 1t
seems like the most likely spot
and it's the layout just south of
the golf course. So we'll be
seeing you boys on September
1.
