ered, and no department outranks it in interest for farm,men and women. Chief among the -exhibits will be the tractor engines, which will give demonstrations of plowing on a thirty-acre tract on the northeast side of the fair grounds, and these gasoline giants will also show their ability to do the heavy hauling and other exhaustive work which usually falls upon the men and horses. Mechanical milkers, operated by electricity, for reducing work and saving time in a dairy, will be shown in operation.
"THE MIDLANDERS"
Charles Tenney Jackson, author of "The Day of Souls" and "My Brother's Keeper," has recently had published "The Midlanders," and through this the author takes his place among the big men of American letters.
Despite its title, "The Midlanders" might stand for the whole country in its problems and its characters, and yet the settings are markedly individual. The narrative envelops the big Louisiana swamps and bayous, the farming regions and small towns of the Iowa Reserve, with the glamour of romance, while the people and their lives are almost sternly realistic, and the politics are those of the present hour. The plot is intricate, and a hazardous situation is handled with a delicacy that works it out to a triumphant conclusion. It would seem that the author cannot be dull, that he illuminates all that he touches, and his spontaneity, the absence of any evident strain, can only come from one who is thoroughly imbued with the spirit of his subject.
What William Allen White has done for Kansas. Mr. Jackson has done for Iowa. What Frank Norris did for the social questions of a decade ago, Charles Tenney Jackson does for those of our present. "The Midlanders" stands for the insurgent, the suffragist, the progressive in politics, regardless of the party with which they may be aligned. It shows the chasm between the standpatters of the past, and the eager young men who shall inherit the future. It is universal in its scope and strong in its grasp.
But it must not be taken from this that "The Midlanders" is merely a thesis or a thinly disguised political document. It is a story, first and last, a powerful story that will hold of its own accord even though the reader cares nothing for the practical problems of which it treats. Nor is it "hammock fiction" —destined to be gulped down hastily on a summer afternoon, like a high-ball or an ice cream soda. It is more powerful than this, and it will be enjoyed best if read leisurely in an easy chair by the fireside. It is the kind of book one wants to! discus with someone else.
Many unusual situations arise to make the story dramatic, and Au-! relie, who has grown up like a wild flower, dominates every picture.! The whole tale is like a shifting panorama—a contrast of emotions,' lights and colors. A fine streak of humor runs through it all, and there is not a person mentioned in' the twenty-nine chapters, and a good many are introduced, that is not real. The sympathy and the' understanding with which these1 diverse people are portrayed, and, the realism with which the life on the river and Xhe reserve is set forth, is one great feature. Pathos,! humor, the picturesque, each has1 its place each contributes of its best to the making but above all, a good story, even a great story, is told.
