E ID FAIR

Has Been Conducting Vigo County Fairs for Years Without Profit, It Is Said.

Teve Haute has several "booster" organizations that is, organizations that are formed for furthering the interests of Terre Haute !n every possible way. But there is another organ ization which, although not going un der the name of a boosters' organization or not claiming any such distinc tion, in reality does as much to advertise and to boost this city as any other combination of men ever formed here.

And that organization is the Terre Haute Trotting & Fair association, which year in and year out has been conducting a fa.ir. It is doubtful if another fair association in this sec tion of the country has expended so much money without profit as has this bunch of public-spirited men who comprise this organization. Any other organization spending thousands of dol lars, as has the local comblnantion of men, without profit to themselves would quickly stop promoting fairs. But not bo with the Terre Haute association. As one of the officials said yesterday: "We know that in time the people of this county and the different coun ty organizations will come to our aid, not so much financially, as morally, and lend us their support in that direction. When the people of Terre Hatrte and. Vigo county get the idea out of their 'heads that this is a money making scheme, and begin to realize that the county fair, above all other events in Viigo county, is given as a strictly educational event and one that will bestow benefit on the people of the county, then this association can at least break even, and we will receive the thanks of the people, and in that, will lay our reward."

An appeal to the merchants of the city to observe Tuesday, September 15, as a half-holiday for the fair has been made by the members of the fair association, it was announced Thursday. According to plans announced, the merchants will be asked to close their stores during the afttrnoon in order to give their employes a chance to visit the fair.

WINDOW TRIMMERS PLAN FOR BIG FALL PAGEANT AND SHOW

Will Seek Co-operation of All of City's Merchants in Making Event a Success.

Styles in fall clothes for women In T®rre Haute will be shown in a big faTl pageant and show the last week ir. October if plans of the Window Trimmers' association are carried out, It was stated Thursday. At the meeting of the association Wednesday night It was planned to have all of the merchants of the city to Join in the move to give a grand display of the fall creations during one entire week. The fashion show will be advertised throughoutthe country and It Is expected to taring thousands of buyers to Terre Haute. "We want to make arrangements to have the Grand opera house for two days and display the styles ^yith living models," said one of the members of the association in speaking of the plans. •*We feel that the united efforts of the merchants in holding such a show will do more to bring the crowds to the dty than an Individual enterprise might. Elaborate decorations will be carried out in the business sections during the week."

The advertising campaign for the fashion shoW will be carried out In the Jnterurban cars which are expected to bring hundreds of shoppers to Terre Haute,

American Red Cross Nurses Will Soon be Off to the War

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3—The biggest humanitarian work ever undertaken, namely, the sending of scores of doctors, surgeons and nurses to the scenes of the war, is now being done by the Red Cross Nursing association, and soon a big force will leave for Europe to administer help to the injured soldiers.

In Washington, as the head of the Red Cross nursing organization, is Miss Jane A. Delano, who fs picking from the 5,000 nurses who make up the American Red Cross nursing service those best suited for the work Europe. Miss Delano is not only a nurse of recognized ability herself, a graduate*, of Bellevue hospital, but is doing a great work of philanthropy. Having at one time a large clientele of her own, she gave this up to give her services gratuitously to the Red Cross.

Divided Into Four Sections. The Red Cross service will be divided Into four sections: Field columns, hospital columns, supply columns and information bureau sections.

Field columns assist the regular transport columns In moving patients from field hospitals to evaxruatlon hospitals by the use of litters, ambulances, hospital trains and ships. They establish food stations and resting places for exhausted soldiers. The personnel of a field column includes a director, four assistant directors, four section chiefs and sixty-four men. This body is. divided into four subdivisions. The director and his four principal assistants are recognized physicians.

Hospital columns comprise a director, three assistant directors, six chief nurses and forty-five nurses, and such cooks, orderlies and laborers as may be necessary. This column is divided into three sections, and carries on that portion of the work which is most effective. Afield hospital is situated near the actual scene of a battle and

O'Brien.

Gradually the patrons of the Grand are overcoming a disinclination to view motion pictures from a comfortable seat in the balcony. Last night, for instance, several hundred people showed their good sense in staking themselves to seats in the balcony rather than standing up down stairs. The eighth installment, or spasm of "The Million Dollar Mystery" and the melodramatic film, "Woman Against Woman," was the double bill offered. In this number the reporter is rescued from a watery grave after he floats around awhile. Then the countess brings about an estrangement betweery the heiress and the reporter by a shrewd trick. The countess Induces the reporter to eome to see her about a sensational story. While she is talking to him she pretends to faint and things happen that are seen by the heiress who arrives at the crucial moment. The butler is not so much In evidence this week, but his deep interest In the heiress is very apparent. Many of the followers of the serial are doping it out that Jones is really the father of Florence Gray. Florence La. Badie, Marguerite Snow, James Cruze, Sidney Bracey and Frank Harrington lenjJ personalities to the story. "Woman Against Woman." the K. & E.-Biograph melodramatic photoplay, which is given in conjunction with the Thanhouser serial, tells the story of a couple of girls who go to New York to seek employment. One of them rails Into evil hands, -but a death-bed marriage rights matters as far as possible. A child Is born and to prevent the calling off of the marriage between the more unfortunate of the sisters and a wealthy suitor, the good sister takes care ox the little one. Then come the efforts of Rachel, the scarlet l^dy ot the play to revenge herself upon the good sister, who had disfigured her for the part she had taken in the ruin of the younger sister. It is a story that will hold you. For some reason the names of the players are not given on the screen. Lionel Barrymore plays the leading masculine role. There is an exceptionally fine "character old woman" in the piece and the three young women parts are well acted. The same bill will be repeated today.

The 'bill for Friday and Saturday will be the Famous Players' film production of A. C. Gunters' novel and play, "Mr. Barnes of New York." The central figure Is a New Yorker played by Maurice Costello, who has thrilling adventures on land and sea, in Corsica and at Monte Carlo. The cast Is a notable one, including Charles Kent, the fine old actor, who played the priest in "The Christian Mary Charleson, S. Rankin Drew, Darwin Karr, Naomi Childers, Donald Hall, Robert Gaillord and Adele De Garde. "Mr. Barnes of New York" is in six parts.

Young's Garden will reopen Sunday with "Mysteria," the man of mystery, as the attraction. "Mysteria" will not only appeal to those who believe in thought transference, or mind reading, but to all who enjoy stage tricks that baffle the understanding when they are clearly done. "Mysteria" Invites persons who are worried over business or love affairs, or who are seeking lost relatives, to toll their troubles to him. This will be the first appearance of "Mysteria" In Terre Haute. It will be recalled that Pauline, who permits you to guess at the manner in which he accomplishes his feats, was one of the most popular headllners at the Grand last season, an indication that Terre Haute likes this form of entertainment

The eight Forget-Me-Nots, singing and dancing girls, head the week-end bill at the Varieties, opening this afternoon. Others on the Dill are Bert Hanlon, singing and dancing monolog'ist Harry Ellsworth $.nd company in a comedy sketch, "The Silk Stocking Oliver and White, who also sing and dance, and the musical Geralds, who play twenty mandolins simultaneously.

The Terminal Film company's production of the Remick song hit, "Back, Back. Back to Indiana," directed by Frank Holland, will be shown at the Orpheum today and tomorrow. It Is a better picture as to photography than •'The Banks of the Wabash."

Two more first-class theaters in New York have gone over to the movies, at least partially. Film shows will be given at the Casino and Lyric on Sundays. The Republic may follow suit.

The scenery for William Faversham's production of "The Hawk" has at last arrived in New York. Mr. Faversham had received five letters, mailed at different times, telling him the scenery had been shipped. The soldier boys held It back.

His Pessimistic Position.

"No doubt an expression of the opinion will cause me to be regarded as an atheist, heretic and an awful example, defiantly remarked Rip Sawyer, "but I believe all the devil wants Is to be let alone."—Judge.
