The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1912-09-19

PUT UP TO

1t is incumbent upon the business
men of Mitchell to realize what is
expected of them by the surrounding
territory. AT least this must be done
if Mitchell is to maintain the pleas
ant relations with the adjacent field
that the city naturally desires.
1t SO happens thai the promoters
of all county fairs in nearby counties
expect Mitchell to p~atronize these
fairs, principally because Mitchell
puts on the Corn Palace attraction
each year. Sioux Falls this year, for
the first time, sent out an automo-
bile excursion to make county fairs,
back by way of Salem. The Trip
and Salem fair arrangements had
particularly invited Mitchell to send
IL DuHcl OI duJOIlIODlleS over 10 tleII
entertainment, but, though the eff
fort was made to work up a crowd
for both, it was not successful.
Now the promoters of these two
fairs are in rather "a bad humor to-
ward Mitchell. 1t is true that the at
titude assumed is not entirely reas-
enable. McCook county, for example,
exhibits at the state fair and pat
ronizes the state fair, and yet does
not expect Huron business men to
reciprocate by attending the McCook
county fair. And yet there is more
reason to expect this from Huron
than from Mitchell. For the Huron
business firms are not required to
bear any of the expense of the state
fair, while the business me of Nit
chell must contribute all the money
required to put on the Corn Palace.
When the Huron business men are
entirely without burden and those at
Mitchell carry so heavy a load, it is
not Just fair to Mitchell to expect
everything of Mitchell and nothing
of Huron. Furthermore, McCook
county and every other county in the
state has profited by the advertising
| given South Dakota by the Corn
Palace. The one great task that had
to be performed before South Da-
kota could reach the agricultural
development to which it was entitl-
ed, was to convince the rest of the
country that South Dakota is a corn
state. The Corn Palace has done as
much as all else to bring this about
and McCook county has profited
quite as much as Dawson county.
However. Mitchell always has
shown u disposition to do more than
it's share for the state. The Republi-
can is of the opinion that the city
should have been represented both
at Trip and Salem and that it will
be next year.
This week Mitchell has a last OPP
portunity for this year to do the
courteous thing with the nearby
county fairs. For the Hanson and
Aurora county %expositions will both
come off this week. BY all mean
Mitchell should send a nice automo-
bile delegation to both places. Both
give Mitchell a nice patronage the
wear around and business men will
be making Il serious mistake if they
do not show appreciation of it. w.
Il. Upton has been named com
%mitteeman to work up a crowd for
the Aurora county fair and l.. Beck
with for the Hanson county fair.
Business men should make up their
minds to go both places and give
their names as once to these commit
teemen.
