COUNTY FAIRS NEED NEW IDEA

AS near as one can judeg fro III
the reports of various county fairs,
some new ideas must be brought in
to them in order to make them a
success, financially, at least. The
old fashioned fair seems to be a
thing of the past, as it no longer
attracts. Even the race meets in
connection have suffered this Year
Watonwan county took in less tn an
on third enough to pay premiums.
jackson county suffered, tho not
not SO much. Nowadays a fair
must have all the games of skill, or
chance, or what ever it may be, in
order to draw a crowd, for people,
as ever anxious to get something
for nothing, are disappointed and
unhappy unless they have the oppor
tunity to do so 1t is to be regretted
that such is the case, but it is a fact
nevertheless. It has come to that
pass where the farmers no longer
travel twenty OF thirty miles to look
at farm products as shown at a
county fair, but will go farther to
see something out of the ordinary.
In order to keep abreast with what
the people want, the fairs of here
after must look for new attractions,
and unless they have them, unless
they cater to the wants Of the class
who demand such things, as we'll as
to those who enjoy looking at farm
product, success, both in exhibits
and finances, will be slow in coming.

The above is a perfect statement
of the situation. Fair visitors must
be entertained with excitement.
