Machines and Methods Which
Contributed to Winning
. War Will Be Shown.
'Victory Show" the name that has
tteeu unofficially conferred , uppn the
combined United States government
exhibits to be shown at the state fair
means all of that, and considerably
more. Added to displays of the fight;
ing equipment with which the army
'Bad navy did their full share in win
ning the war Will Ibe displays of the
improved farming methods which en
abled American farmers to work to
ward maximum food production, and
which they are now using to help feed
a large part of the world. There -will
be displays, also, of othea government
work, that tends towartt tne peacerui
prosperity and well being of Uncle j
Sam's hundred million. sons and daugh
ters and nephews and nieces. Altogeth-
' er, tlie combined exhibits should give
every person who sees them a new idea
of the extent and the importance of
the work being performed by various
"government agencies. And there are
few persons who can not find in such
en exhilMt ways in which he can call,
for and obtain the help that the gov
ernment offers free oft charge to all
'American citizens.
The departments cooperating in the
exhibits are: jAgriculture, war, navy,
commerce, interior and labor. The ad
ministrative work as handled by the
joint committee on government exhib
its, the chairman of which is Prof. F.
Lameon-Sclmbner of the department
of agriculture, and which has represent
atives from all the interested depart
ments. The exhibits, made up in five
each practically & duplicate of
the others, but with variations to take
account of local conditions in' the sec
tions they are to visit, will be shown
during the fair season on five circuits
made up of the larger fairs and expo
sitions. Each exhibit requires approx
imately 8000 square feet for its proper
installation. '
This is the second year for the com
bined government exhibits,. They were
shown last year at 33 state fairs and;
expositions, whose combined attend
ance exceeded 13,000,001) people, fcvery
where the greatest interest was mani
fested 'by the public The government
exhibits become the "feature ..show."
Uf. the fairs, and many managers of
the expositions declared that they were
responsible f or record .breaking' crowds
of 'eager and appreciative visitors. This
does not mean that. the government has
gone into the "show business," in the
usual meamnor of that term. The. object
of the oxhibits is simply to 'bring the
eenerni public into close contact with
the work of the government so that the
public can make use of it, and to do
it in a way that will transmit valu
able information without exhausting
the nervons .energy that is greatly
needed by visitors at the lug exposi
tions. :
To fflve an itemized list of the ex
hibits would require much space. It is
possible in this article only to mention
some of the more outstandiug displays.
Of transcendent interest will. foe an
exhibit at war trophies captured by
Ameirieaa aoildiers on IFrench .bottle
fields. Three trophies, which include
hundreds of articles from aibig trench
mortar to German mess kits have
just , arrived in this country and have
never, before been on exhibition. The
captured enemy equipment includes
machine guns, -. anti-tank guns, hand,
grenades, helmets of several kinds,
trench, periscopes, smoke pots, and
many other articles used by the 9ei
