go through the fair association. The
list was confined exclusively. with the

fair directors who attended as officials
and guests, to the pioneers and
their families. Under the rules OF the
association a male member OF the as
ISOLATION is permitted to take his wife
and members OF the family residing
under the parental roof to social gath
