General Parker said" a few words to an aid. The aid jumped on a horse and rode for Fort Brown. A few seconds later telephone mes­ sages had gone to the several National Guard camps, and within an hour, Il­ lustrating the splendid pitch of pre­ paredness reached by the troops here after three months of training, a long stream of motor trucks, wagons, am- ~ fculances and pack mules began con- §' _ view before the commanding general. c ; ¥ fer ' V fair grouuds because the wenthfcrwae too cold.

The second recommendation of Mr. Davison wtaich-wlll probably be made to the board of agriculture is that passes be done away with except in the case of persons actually working; 4>n the grounds. With the passing of the 1016 fair, plans are making for the exposition next year. President-elect Taggart of Freeport will assume the duties of his new office January 1, when superinten­ dent of the various departments will be named and a secretary will be chosen. Mr. Davison will be a candi­ date for re-election.

That plans ark progressing Satisfac­ torily for the statewide celebration In 1918 of the centennial of the admis­ sion of Illinois Into the Union was re­ ported by the committee at the meet­ ing in this city. They showed that it will be the greatest state centennial celebration ever known in the United States. Arrangements are In progress looking toward a grand pageant in connection with the state fair In 1918 nnd the extension of the fair and cele­ bration through a period of two or three weeks instead of the usual nine days. A filni will be made and exhib­ ited throughout the state calling atten­ tion to the celebration. John A. Bingham of Vandalia made an address before the commission. He showed a booklet that Fayette county had issued, relating to the history of that county and of Vandalia as the capital of Illinois. It Is profusely 11* lustra ted. One incident referred to is that of AbrahaituLincoln leaping from one of the windows of the capitoi to break a quorum when it became evi­ dent that the legislature would pass a bill continuing the state capital la Vandalia for 20 years. Lincoln was in favor of moving the capital to Springfield: The speaker of the house, acting like Speaker, Tom Reed of Maine did long after In the national house of congress, counted Lincoln as present and the bill carried. The commission will hold Its next meeting in this city October 19.

S Berlin, Oct. 3.--The victory of Gen­ eral von Falkenhayn over the llon- manians around Helrmannstadt, In .Transylvania, grows with every new dispatch from the front. The Roumanian first army hasa b^en shattered and the second army rushed to its assistance, has been badly bat­ tered, being now solely on the de­ fensive.

Hundreds are ex­ pected to be gathered in by the forces thrown out by Von JTalkenhayn to scour tJJe country. , The victory has caused the grest- atlon Special Car to Tour State. A car fully equipped to demonstrate home economics will tour the state under the auspices /of the household science department of the University of Illinois, it is announced. Two demonstrators will accompany the car, which is equipped with f gasoline engine for operating a wash­ ing machine, mangle, cream separator, vacuum cleaner and ice cream freez­ er ; an electric lighting system for private homes, honse furnishings and a kitchen. The car and Its equipment provide sufficient material for demonstration work for a week. It is designed to reach housekeepers under conditions favorable to a thoughtful study of the equipment, and it is proposed to spend five days at a point. The university will pay the salaries of the demonstrators and furnish the exhibits, and the local committees must agree to advertise the car, pay for Its transportation and provide living accommodations for the dem­ onstrators. Some of the subjects on which lec­ tures will be given are the gasoline engine and housework, kifchen equip­ ment, proper water system, household appliances, how to furnish a home, the laundry problem, heating and lighting systems and the business of housekeeping. t merits, but on the average the expo- >?v|. sltioii exceeded every other since 1910, which was conceded to be the biggest fair the state ever had. In many re- spects the 1916 fair was better than 1910 fair." I ; - T w o s u g g e s t i o n s g r o w i n g o u t o f t h e conduct of the present season will be • made to the board of agriculture by Secretary Davison unless conditions arise to change his mind. One of Xvf. these will be that the Illinois fair be held earlier in order that the tented y*. v. city plan, begun this year, may be V-1 , fruitful of larger results. , 4 ,* "If the fair could be held late in An- gust or earlier in September, there Is 110 r®a8oi why 10,000 or 12,000 persons °*ight not be induced to camp out, dur- , lug state fair week," said Mr. Davison. j "This year not more than 50 families lived in the tents afforded west of the May Prorate Grain Cases. Proposals to prorate railroad grain cars among elevator operators of Illi­ nois in proportion to the business transacted last year were made to the Illinois public utilities, commission by grain dealers here at a conference on the car shortage, attended by 100 rep­ resentatives of grain associations and railroads. Railroad representatives proposed that the cars should be assigned on the firm basis, which would mean the appointment of a certain number of cars to each firm, regardless of .the volume of business. From these suggestions the utilities commission expects to evolve a rule for the guidance of shippers and rail­ roads which, It is hoped, will relieve the shortage in cars.
