where, Captures Honors In Capital
City's Cherry Fair.
i Salem the Surreptitious has just
played her annual little joke entitled,
THE Cherry Fair delightful skit
that always draws large crowds, ana
consists OF a three-act comedy with
various vaudeville specialties and
spectacular features with high geared
thrills. The motif upon which this
iurid extravaganza is carefully COM
pounded consists OF an ancient myth,
whose origin is shrouded In mystery
but which by assiduous nurture has
developed into the belief that Marion
County was accidentally fitted by
Nature to grow cherries The prin-
cipai roles are taken by q flaming
lithograph Of cherry accompanied
by green leaves, royal king yciept
"Bing." and a lovely queen whose
maiden name is Anne" Numerous
minor parts make up the cast. The
specialties consist of baby parades,
and review of prominent citizens who
depend directly or Indirectly upon the
state for sustenance. In other words,
most of the company has strong sup
port. Salem also furnishes the streets
free of all charge, and let's people
walk ON her grass.
But when it comes to the cherry
exhibits. old Polk. the BLUE Ribbon
County" supplies the fruit and Salem
claims the credit. Therein lies the
joke, for out of 81 prizes won at Sa-
lens recent cherry fair, so OF them
were won by Polk County growers.
