Horseshoe Champion Whatever the Source of Power, lie Hurls a Mean Hunk o' Iron Beauties of Chicago Area"'Will Be Shown at G~eat Flower Show The beauty of Chicago's exten,s ivc public parks and boulevard system as well as the forest preserv·e lands which surround the city will be on display for all the world to see and admire when the Garden Club of Illinois holds its Central States Garden and Flower Show at the mammoth west side Chicago Stadium April 5 to 13. AnnouncenH~nt has just been made hy John A. Servas, manager of the show, that commissioners of the three big Chicago park systems-West Parks, Lincoln Pa.rk, and South Parks-have given their unanimou:-~ endorsement to the Central States show and will be represented with special exhibits. Previously Servas obtained the -support of Anton J. Cermak, president of the Cook County board, which will also have a special forest preserve exhibit. Support of these four .important public bodies, according to Servas, wilt mean an important factor in making the Central States show the most spectacular Rower show ever staged in Chicago. The Garden Club of Illinois is conducting an active campaign of education in all parts of the Chicago area with a vi~w to having the city beautified ·with flowers and gardens by the time the Century of Prog~ess \\"oriel's Fair is held in 1933 and this campaign won the sympathy and support of the park and forest preserve commission crs. Plans for the show are progressing ahead of schedule and already Servas reports that he is going to be cramped for space despite the vastness of the Chicago. Stadium. Orders for space from pnvate and commercial exhibitors ha vc bern coming in far in excess of ant ici pa tivns.

Keeping the Spark Plugs in Good Shape Important So far as can be definitely established, Robert Blasdell never acted as nurse-maid to a horse, a mule or even a pony. Further, nothing has come to light to' permit even the faintest suspicion that he may have been . at a younger age more than casually acquainted with the wooden "trotters" of a nierry-go-rotJ..nd. The exact source of his knowledge of equine footwear therefor remams a .dark secret. Be that as it may, Bob Blasdell knows his cast-irons. He can outcast that eminent hero of the Kentucky derby, ~ran 0' vVar, or even the "Old Gray ~rare" of whom the :\.rmy sings when it comes to loosened shoes and hi s record shows that he can come' pretty close to outc~sting all comers in \Yilmettc aud environs.
