eners and fruit growers in the valley,
but there is some satisfaction in the
fact that the most of the crops werc
harvested before the frost came. AMI
that we never had another. suehscrop

The Post regrets that no Potato Day
is to be held at Carbondale this year
as this was fast growing into popu-
lar exhibit and our people would have
been glad to have had it continued. 1t
is said that the abandonment of the
day is due to the failure of the commit
tee to properly finance the affair and
this caused slight dissatisfaction
which grew into Indifference and then
objection to the continuation of the
day These public events, while often
very helpful to a community, require
a great deal of enthusiasm and consid.
cradle sacrifice on the part of a few
and it is not an easy matter to keen
them going, however desirable they
may be to community.
