In response to an appeal from a
number of Moscow business men, at
the very close of the harvest, after
practically all the grain in the coun-
ty had been cut, and after the time
for gathering the best samples of grain
was past, P. l.. Circuit, editor OF the
Star-Mirror, accepted the job of secre-
tary of the Moscow Chamber of Com
merce at what many considered
fabulous salary-$125 per month. The
chamber of commerce had an eye to
business, and at once "sub-let their

consideration that the fair pay half

Mr. circuit was loaded up with enough

gathered, and to give an idea of the

Spokane about o'clock Sunday morn
ing. For two nights and a day that
party found no time to sleep, and not
man left the job till the exhibit was
in place few minutes before the big
fair opened at o'clock Monday morn
ing. This was the price paid by the
men who labored to the end of hui
man endurance that Latah county
might win a sweepstakes. And La
tab county did win.
II one. or two men, working under
difficulties, sometimes without funds,
sometimes discouraged by others, can
accomplish such big results, what can
be expected when all the people Of
Latah county wake up and get behind
them? The purpose of relating this
story of last years exhibit is to arouse
countrywide interest in subject that
ought to appeal to every man within
the county. Let it inspire some de-
gree of enthusiasm for our county,
and cultivate a spirit Of county pride
that will make a county fair what it
ought to be, and make it easier here
after to win honors at the outside
fairs. Let us be loyal to our home
county. Let us work for the county
in which we live. Let us join hands
and labor for our common good, rath-
er than waste our energy in fruitless

take hold of the work, and not man
in the county, SO far as anyone knew,
who had any experience in getting
up agricultural displays. More than
this the farmers themselves showed
so little interest that it was difficult to
get them to gather and save samples
for exhibition. And those who did
save had no knowledge of how to do
the work.

fair, but it was fair, and it aroused
sufficient interest in a county fair to
encourage a bigger effort in 1911.

was organized, with j. j. Keane
