One Man Who il Glad That the Fair is Over

One man in Wichita who is glad the
fair has come and gone is H. G. T0ler.
No man ever worked harder for any
thing than Mr. Toler did for the fair.
He was out all day and up al all times
OF the night, rushing around getting
things in running shape, not only dur
ing the fair but for weeks preceding it.
1t was not mis- fault that people did not
make as many exhibits as he expected.
and that everybody who ATTENDED wasn't
presented with a diamond ring and
crowned with a wreath of roses.
Il can be said very truthfully that in
his hands the fair was better advertis-
ed than any previous one ever given in

the city's debt was already within about
$4,000 of the constitutional limit. The
friends OF the project were harassed by
constant alarms that tended to show that
the opposition was determined to fight

end in quiet way.
