with Its fakes and humbugs, and the
lack ~ interest in the once agricul-
tural exhibition. There seems to be
large element of truth in the predc-

ayers have been entering complaints
that the patronage of their shows is
not what it should be.
Conditions like these are not without
reason. The trouble with the agricui-
tural fair is that ii Is a repetition of
the same old thing from year to year.
There ARE no new amusement features
TO keep It in the category OF up-to-
date shows and there is no apparent
effort TO make the thing an exclusively
agricultural exhibition. Railroads ana
trolley lines enable the farmer and
his family TO attend expostons in the
cities far superior TO the ordinary
county fairs. The natural result is a

of the home affair .-.t
