Is Polk County Affair.
What we want to impress upon
the people is that the coming festival
is to be essentially a Polk county ar
fair" said a prominent member Of
the general arrangement committee.
1T is not a Dallas institution and the
Commercial club is only taking hold
Of il in order to promote the arrange
ments. We want every section OF the
county to exhibit their products. The
County Court has donated a sum Of
money for the school fair and this
insures this portion of the exhibition
will be Of the best. l understand
that practically every school in the
county will have an exhibit and we
want to have the farmers and others
place exhibits also. IL is the desire
that this Harvest Festival and School
Fair. be made an annual institution
and We hope that a regular fair asso-
,iation will be organized. We want
10 show the people what Polk county
can produce and II Il results I'm secur-
ng new people as residents OF the
county. no matter where they locate,
il will add just that much 10 the
progress and development Of the coun-
.y. This Is In no sense a local mat
Ter hut one In which We hope every
section Of the county viii interest
