The state fair commission held regu
lar meeting at the secretary's office or
Monday, and, as is their custom, gave
their time to the service of the state
which does not allow them any pay fol
such service. President Baxter, Secre'
tary Gum and Treasurer Lee were pres
ent, and Commissioners Stewart and
Schnebley were absent. No actual bust
ness WAS transacted except the auditing
of bills for current expense. The matter
OF identifying the grounds and putting
the space inside the ring into alfalfa was
discussed and considered very favorably,
and probably this will be accomplished
in the spring. A thrifty field Of alfalfa
just blossoming would be an attractive
sight to visitors to the fair grounds from
abroad.
