SHOWING DOWNTOWN AT TULSA, OKLAHOMA Tulsa, Ok., Sept. 18.—Thru the courtesy of Adjntant Baird H Markham and Brigadier General Charles E. McPherrin, president of the Military Commission, the John Francis Shows are located here on a down-town lo 7 was a ntinual downpour of rain fre day til Monday noon at Okmulgee | a4using the show to loose Friday and Saturday and making it impossible to pull onto the new fair here, which is a half mile off the pavem na ide and oiled road. The Milit mmission stretched a point in favor of tl board of the Tulsa County Free Fair by permitting them to place the show on the prin le down-town street. The courtesy also saved he show from losing a week. All shows and rice were u and running by seven o'clock M nday night Mr. Fran is almost himself again after his three weeks’ sickness and, aside from the loss f about twenty-five pounds of ‘“‘excess’’ weight, he doesn't look any worse for the experience. Crawford Francis, while visiting one of the parks In Kansas City, had his new ‘‘six’’ stolen, but the police recovered it the next day about five miles out with a broken spring. He reorts the rest of his trip was uneventful and that } s now located safely at Lake Forest University, Lake Forest, Ill., where he is to attend « oll ege this winter. Everyone was disappointed at losing Friday and Saturday in Okmulgee, as it was proving a big one. The shows and rides started off fair on Monday and the gross was increasing each day; likewise, the concessions of J. L. Rammie were playing to the best business in weeks, Ernie Woodward topping the midway with a blanket wheel. ith a little favorable weather here good busifiess is expected, as it s a little diversion from the martial law which Tulsa has been laboring under for several weeks. The show will move to the Wichita Wheat Show next week for a ten-day stand, under a gate, the main entrance being on Douglas avenue. There is a possibility that stock wheels we will ork this year as a result of the clean-up campaign launched at a special event there re } » purchase of autos keeps up this will almost be an overland show, as there are seven or eight making the trip between towns each week, the latest addition being the athletic show and eee Grethot, **flivver” and a “six” Vv.
