so the authorities feel that the holiday
was observed in a sane way in every
thing but the libation question.

ing.

A meeting has been called Of the
Marshall County Fair Association at
the Marshalltown Club rooms Monday
morning to consider the erection of
an exhibition building on the fair
grounds. and a general invitation has
been extended to merchants and
manufacturers who exhibit at the fair
to be present and propose some plan
for such a building.
There has been talk for years of
such building. but as yet nothing
has been done because the matter
would drift along each year until too
late, and then each merchant would
hustle for himself. spending more
money than would be necessary If he
could have purchased stock in a per-
manent exhibition hall.
When discussed In the directors
meetings, it has been proposed to erect
building which would have a spaci-
Gus second-story with verandas for
rest room purposes. with merchants
exhibits on the ground floor. and pos
sibly sanitary closets in connection
with the rest room. Built in this way
the fair association could AFFORD to
contribute part Of the expense.
