THE COUNTRY FAIR"
WAS A SURE SUCCESS
Scored a Hit in Nearly Every
Department.
A Large Crowd Patronized the Show
and the Financial Result Was
Quite Satisfactory.

The Cemetery Association made
hit in the entertainment they gave at
the rink last Friday afternoon and
evening, which was in imitation of a
country fair. It was quite literally
patronized and everybody seemed to
enjoy it. After all expenses were
paid the ladies found their treasury
enriched with cash balance of about
1926 to help carry on the laudable
work of their organization.
An admission of 10 cents was
charged at the door, and when once
inside the visitors found upon every
hand attractions and entertainments
for which leather lunged "barkers'
besought their patronage.
One Of the first shows encountered
was the one in which ''Little Cupid,
the God of love, was on exhibition for
the trifing admission price of five
cents. Everybody went to see him,
and the show was we'll worth the
price. Looking over the wall of an
creature encased in pink feshings and
disporting a pair Of we'll developed
wings. His rosy countenance and
curly hair formed charming picture.
Cupid was impersonated by Capt.
Sammy Draper, who was forced to
sacrifice his crop of chin whiskers in
order that his face might be given the
necessary rosy bloom of youth, becom-
ing the character he represented.
Near by was the famous Beauty
Show, and the visitors found upon a
platform semi-circle of fashionablv
dressed young ladies in evening gowns.
one or two of them being stunning
beauties, The discerning eye with
some difficulty recognized in the circle
the classic features of Leslie Clark,
Earl Ivey. Ellis Smith. Bert Schreiner
and Clarence Markert. The make ups
we're very clever aud it was one of the
best shows on the grounds. -
Of course nobody missed seeing the
Chamber of Horrors with it's wlerd
sights. The principal feature in this
department was His Satanic Majesty,
impersonated by Prof W. J. Schade
The above we're only few of the
many interesting shows on exhibition.
The museum was especially good.
Then there we're doll racks where the
boys and girls, young and old tried
their hands throwing balls at the
babies; there we're booths where ice
cream, coffee and other refreshments
were served, home made baking and
candies sold, etc. There was fortune
teIler's booth, grab Tag, and numer
Gus other interesting features, and
music to enliven the occasion was fur
nished by the high school orchestra,
members of which were dressed to
represent little German Band. !"
Altogether it was very enjoyable
occasion.
