An extra effort is to be made this
year to fill the enclosure with exhib-

value which will be second to no
county fair in the country, while the
recreation features will not be lost

An addition to the grandstand and

heretofore, while at the same time
furnishing needed accommodations
for the agricultural displays which
this year promises to be far in excess

In a letter from the department to
Postmaster H. T. Eberle, the work of
the rural carriers during the winter
months was commented upon favor
ably. The winter was one OF the
most severe ever experienced since
the establishment of the rural mail
service in this country, and the per
sistent effort made by the local force
of rural carriers to make their routes
is we'll known. There were times
when it was physical impossibility
to cover the routes but every effort
was put forth to accomplish it when
ever possible.

sether in the home Of Frank TO celebrate
the golden wedding of Darius and his
wife they told how they had multiplied
that $500 almost ten thousand fold.
The estimated wealth Of the brothers
today is $25.0o0.OO. Their activities
range from dry goods to railroads. from
real estate to electric lighting. None OF
the Miller boys was a failure.
