extensive preparations to care for

forth his best endeavors to care for
all who may patronize the dining
hall.
Mr.. T. F. Scheen has erected
a neat little booth where candies,
fruits, soft drinks, etc., will be dis
pensed. Mr.. Scheen's building is
neat and attractive and is quite an
addition to the White Village.
There will be merry-go-round on
the grounds all four days of the fair,
and doubtless it will be literally pat
ronized by the youngsters.
Mr.. NJ j. Brands will probably
put up permanent moving picture
building. At any rate he will erect
a temporary structure, and will have
an up-to-date display Of moving pic
lures that will attract old and young
Princeton bands will furnish soul
stirring music-one band each day.
Families and groups of families can
picnic in the beautiful oak grove in
the southeast corner. Benches and
tables are streWn around for their
accommodation and a good drive we'll
furnishes an abundance of pure, cool
water. No teams will be permitted
on the picnic grounds. In the CEN
ter of the picnic grounds is the ladies
rest room which is monument to
the public-spirited women of Prince
ton, and it will prove God-send and
a veritable haven of rest to tired
mothers and children. The ladies
will see to it that the rest room is
properly furnished with benches,
easy chairs and touches.
On Thursday at ? 80 p. m. Cover
nor Eberhart will deliver a short
non-political address. On the same
afternoon one of the most expert
zenced veterinarians from the state
agricultural school will give two DEM
onstrations that will prove in
structive and interesting to farmers
On Saturday afternoon at 2:30
Hon. L. G. Spoonner of Morris will
make short talk. Mr.. Spooner Sc
cured much legislation Of benefit to
the farmers Of the state in the last
three sessions Of the legislature.
Let all unite to make it pleasant
for the visitors at the fair. It is the
only time in the year when the farm
ers get together, discuss matters
pertaining to the farm and visit
with each other. Within and with
out the grounds make the farmers
and their families feel at home in
Princeton fair week, for Princeton is
a farmers town. Every Princetonite
should constitute himself commit
tee of one to make it pleasant for all
visitors fair week.
