A Boost for the Fair.

The Anacortes American says that
the state fair at North Yakima prom
ises to be bigger and better this year
than any year during the existence of
state fair and the great pains taken
by the commission to make successful
this splendid advertising medium, de
serves the support OF the people
throughout the state. North Yakima is
one of the best and most beautiful
towns in the state with wonderful re-
source of agriculture and horticulture,
but this alone will not make state
fair. What the commission and the
people of Yakima want is exhibits and
a good representation from all over the
state. This alone will make successful
the state fair which, this year, should
be the greatest in the history of the
state.
