land should be taxed to its full rental

WEATHER AGAINST THEM.

The weather OF last week was respon-
sible for great loss TO the Wood Coun-
ty Fair company by flooding the
grounds and making II impossible for
racing or for people to walk about to
see the exhibits.
Special efforts had been made for an
excellent fair and the attendance would
have been very large II the weather
had been good,
The Fair managers, however. paid all
premiums Just the same as though they
had made fortune. instead OF big
haul out OF the treasury.
The weather. reminded us OF that
which always came around at the time
when the old Tongogauy fair was in
existence. For several consecutive
years the Tontogany fair was deluged
with water, and 1t became such regu-
lar thing that Frank Powell who was
very much interested In the fair. and
is dry joker, once said to a friend
who was complaining about dry
weather In August" WELL" said
Powell, "if you want 1t to rain, just,
change the date OF the Tontognny
fair"
