RECORD-BREAKING CROWD EXPECTED AT STATE FAIR

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 4. Attention at the state fair was centered on the coming of President Wilson. The management of the exposition increased its working forces at the admission gates as well as the number of ushers and guides in the buildings.

The crowds began arriving at 6 o'clock this morning in a sprinkle of rain, coming prepared to see the exposition during the day, and to see President Wilson, and if possible got within sound of his voice when he speaks at the Coliseum at night. Auto Parties In Camp. Several farm families that motored long distances from home to the fair Wednesday, pitched thelf camps in the woodland northeast of the race track and spent last night there theat they might be on hand for "big Thursday." From the two-day visit of the patrons, the fair management has conceived the idea of opening about twenty acres of woodland as a camping ground next year where farm families may spend the week and thoroughly enjoy the exposition. The entry lists of horses and cattle have been so heavy that the shows of these animals will be expanded through tomorrow. Among many contests in the Coliseum will be classes for light harness and saddle horses, i NVelsh ponies will also compete for the ribbon awards. One of the chief cattle contests of the week will bo for the steer championship. The Hol-stein-Fresians, of which there are more at the fair than in any former year, will hold the spotlight in the dairy show. Although the exposition is drawing to a close, there will be no slacking in the program tomorrow. The concerts by the 71st New York Infantry Band and Janet Adler's Orchastra will continue, and the Indianapolis Military and The Indianapolis News Newsboys' bands will be heard in morning and afternoon programs. The hippodrome show will be given at night and all of the midway shows will run at high speed, day and evening. None of the exhibits at the fair is to be released until Saturday. Feeding Crowds. The greatest task that concessionaires have contended with at the fair

In years was feeding the crowds on j Wednesday. The onslaughts at meal time overwhelmed every eating pavilion and the supply of food was cleaned up with many appetites unsatisfied, j

The new cafeteria in the women s building fed more than 1,000 during the day, and after exhausting the supply of food closed its doors with many people clamoring for admission. Although thousands were fed at the concessions, large numbers took their lunch boxes with them from home. All the money in Indiana seemed to be garnered in the office of William M. Jones, treasurer, last night. Bules of currency and tags of silver, a peck to the bag, were lugged into the office from the admission gates during the day, and in the evening the big safe was full, as were the shelves around it. Money, money, everywhere! The clerical force spent all of last night counting the treasure.

Fish is Daily Diet of American Mine-Sweepers v LONDON, Sept. 4. American sailors on mine sweeping duty in the North Sea probably will not crave fish when they get back home. When mines are exploded in the process of clearing out the barrage thousands of fish are killed. One of the little sub chasers in the fleet scoops up hundreds of pounds of them each evening when operations cease for the day and distributes them among the several vessels for food. The men enjoyed it for a time, but now hate the sight of a fish. One catch included a salmon which was cruising around miles out from land. Anglers say that a salmon should not be so far from land.
