FALL FESTIVAL PLANS FOR BIGNESENTARE NOW WELL CATTLE SHOW A FEATURE Dairy and Beef Cattle, Are To Be Coming Are Planned, Late in September. (From Tuesday's Dally.) Plans for a Fall Festival in Fort Scott, which have been developing for some time, were further advanced yesterday at the noon day luncheon of the Extension Division of the Chamber of Commerce at the Elks' Grill room, There had at first been some hesItancy about having an event of such a nature during the present abnormal times, but this hesitancy was dispelled upon realization of fact that the be government is urging that everything then done to keep up the morale of the people at home. It is pointed out that gatherings of this kind do much to relieve the tension under which everybody is working: that mingling with friends for a few hours affords a r'e. laxation in no other way obtaina'le. and has a tendency to cheer and strengthen all for the heavy duties tel these strenuous times.

This was demonstrated but recently when all over the land summer chautauquas largely yo attended than for years past. The government is doing much to encourage such gatherings. That is this is true is attested by the fact that the government is sending an airplane to the fair at Independence, Kan. The Food Administration is avalling itself of the opportunity afforded by such events to distribute its literature. Such events present the best possible opportunity for the spread of favorable propaganda.

One of the chief features of the Festival this year will be the cattle show. plans have not as vet been defiformed, and therefore it is not certain yet whether the exhibition will held at the Roodhouse barn or Othick Park. The cattle will be divided inio classes by varieties, and by years of age, and money and ribbon premiums will given. Mr. C.

L. Roodhouse has charge of this feature of the Festival, and is using every effort to get a good number of in. Another big feature of the Festival is to be the Home Coming. Days. It is planned not only all former residents to visit Fort Scott Or' those days, but also to arrange, if possible, for Bourdon county soldiers, still in camp in this country, to secure furloughs so that they may be here dur.

ing Home Coming Days. Plans are being formed for a huge service flag to contain a star for every soldier or sailor from Bourbon couuty This flag, according to the plans, is to be raised, with appropriate services, on Dr. W. S. McDonald's flagstaff.

Later, it is planned to hang the flag in the court house. It is probabie that the Festival will take up about three days, but the date 011 which it. is to open has definitely not as vet fixed. If possible, the dates of, the Festival will be SO ar. ranged as to coincide with the date on which the Great Lakes Naval Training School band will be here.

Present indications are that, the band will be here September Tentative dates for the Festival are September 26 to 28. There is to be a Liberty Loan Day during the Festival, and this is to coincide with the date of the visit of the naval band. It has been decided to have some sort of parade in the evening, although no definite plans have been outlined. Arrangements will be made to have dinners or. the Plaza and court house lawns.

The present plans provide for booths to be arranged down Main street, as was done at the Fall Festival of several years ago.
