MlgtMHMOMMMMMMIMMMIMIOMHMHOMMMIOMHHMHI0O BV FLORA BULLOCK. Iowa had what they called a state fair during the week beginning August 2Gth. I visited it on Monday and came home to compare. On the following Monday I found four times as large an exhibit of poultry, agricultural products, of art and textile fabrics, and equal or the Nebraska state fair; I enjoyed a season of being proud of my country. The Iowa buildings are smaller, darker and give not nearly so cheery an impres sion. They are built upon a hill among trees and the grounds gain in pictur esqueneea But when that tired feeling incident to seeing the sights, cornea over you, the hills lose their cbarm. The agricultural exhibit was amaz ingly small. The horticultural exhibit was good, and tho proud remarks of the fruit men as they pointed out the excel lencies of this apple or that plum which they had grown, showed the ambition that makes for success. But only a few plates of grapes adorned the tables, and the few peaches were the colicky, crum pled'kind known to small boys. The floral exhibit was insignificant. The biggest thing about the fair ws the at tendance, which was a record-breaker, and the multitude of lemonade etands. Before another year you may be sure the sellers of liquid coolness and sweet ened sourness will have an "arrange ment" preventing the fair authorities from displaying their liberal policy of supplying the people with ice water, free. 1 did not chance upon any education al display there, nor a fish exhibit. So it as natural to wish that the big crowd might come over and see a fair as was a fair. returned. They report a glorious time Buperior exhibits in every other line, at I whi'eon their outing.

People who go forth from Nebraska and especially Lincoln, will find the Iowans to be, as the Rev. Rollin Lynde Hartt described them, a common-place people intent on money making. They don't seem to have time for fairs or other excitements, except as these af ford advertisement for their business. Nevertheless a state that can harbor a convention of "tourists" every once in a while is not on the road to oblivion.
