EXHIBITS. WILL BE REPRESENTA-
TIVE OF HOME INDUSTRY.
WHILE GOOD ADJUSTMENTS
WILL KEEP VISITORS MERRY
AT ALL TIMES

OlS6cr duu D6LL6T IMAM ever. Wllle +
only few days remain before visit
ors will view the many exhibits, there T
is yet much work ahead of the Mar
shall County Agricultural Association 7
officials, who are busy applying the
finishing touches.
Entries are coming in nicely, but
there are many to be heard from yet.
The officials wish it announced that /
all entries must be in by next Mon
day, so that all exhibits may be stag /
ed in the proper manner and TO the
advantage of the exhibitors.
Those looking for fair features this
year will not be disappointed, but the /
fair officials wish it understood that
the exhibits and everything on the
grounds shall be as representative Of
the whole county as possible. While /
the fair is an advertising medium in
itself, it's main object is instruction.
1t has been demonstrated that no 9th
er method for the instruction of the
county residents is so we'll suited to
the needs of every individual as the
county fair. There the farmers min
gle with the business men, and the in,
terests of both classes will be SO in
terlaced that the results cannot be
anything but the best.
Amusements at the county fairs are
diversions, but as they are needed to
break the monotony and otherwise
make the grounds attractive, they be
come big features. The fair officials
this year guarantee the most whole
some forms of amusement for old and
young and take a special delight in
offering fine, free attractions, which
will amuse the children especially
Marshall county people will not be
drawn to the fair by flake advertise
ments There will be no aercplane
fights. because the management has
not advertised any. Nor will there
be a steer roping contest Newspapers
relate how several fairs have been
failures because the truth had not
been told by the officials. At Warren
the fair visitors will find everything
exactly as advertised. Nothing can al
ter the program except very bad Wea>
ther.
An effort is being made by County
superintendent of Schools Johnson
10 have school boards throughout the
county grant teachers and pupils a
holiday during the fair, that they may
derive the benefit of the exhibits and
in many respects profit by, the in,
struction to be received at the
grounds. It is being realized by
school authorities that more atten
ton must be paid to interests lying
closest to home, and Marshall county
school officials agree that day at the
fair will be we'll spent by teachers
and pupils Action on this matter
however, must be taken by the re
spective school boards, who have
been addressed on the subject by the
county superintendent.
The premium list offered Marshal
county exhibitors is the most com
plete in the Red River Valley. I
covers all farm products, but is es
pecially attractive for the women
who will be given wide latitude in OK
hibiting arts and crafts from thei
homes. Attractive prizes have bee1
nosted. and it is certain strong com
petition for the same will be noticed
