The administration building, the racetrack enclosure and the grandstand at the state fair grounds yesterday assumed an air reminiscent of a political caucus, as state officials, legislators, and politicians foregathered in an informal all day reception.
Today, Livestock Parade day will be featured by the million dollar parade of livestock. The parade will pass down the race course in front of the grandstand at 4 o'clock.
According to Secretary A. R. Corey of the fair board the parade this year will represent considerably more than $1,000,000 worth of prize purebred animals.
The winning animals in all classes will be in their stalls and pens in the livestock barns all of today and tomorrow with the exception of the time occupied by the million dollar parade. This will afford an opportunity for the public to inspect the prize winners, as they will be adorned with the prize ribbons, enabling spectators to look over the best animals.
Governor Kendall was the central figure of the day's activities at the exposition grounds. The

Washington, D.C., Sept.1,--(Associated Press)-- Word was awaited by federal authorities today from Brigadier General Bandholtz in the disturbed West Virginia area to determine whether marital law should be declared and federal troop sent in to put down the "unlawful and insurrectionary proceedings."

This special edition of The Evening Tribune, bearing the accompanying autographed photo of Ruth Law and a picture of one of her most daring exploits, a race with Gaston Chevrolet, auto racer, is being sold for the benefit of the Milk and Ice fund of The Evening Tribune.
By buying one of these papers you are not only gaining a souvenir of the state fair and Miss Law's flying circus, but contributing to a fund which is badly needed in Des Moines to buy milk for the babies of the poor.
Unemployment, divorce, unsettled industrial conditions, have thrown more children upon the mercies of the Associated Charities this summer than ever before.
"Had it not been for the money collected by The Evening Tribune for milk and ice this summer, I do not like to think what might have been the summer's toll among the poor children of the city," declared H. S. Hollingsworth, secretary of the Associated Charities.
