District Agricultural Society opened
yesterday, and the event is one which
many have looked forward to with
pleasure for many months. To per-
,petuate an amusement enterprise thru
a half century Is an achievement which
is but seldom accomplished and serves
as the highest tribute to the worth of
the institution. That it has endured
thru the most important period in the
history Of the great commonwealth OF
Iowa, well indicates that there is moro
to the institution than merely the
pleasure which is afforded by the an
nual race meetings. It has endured
because In it has centered the interest
of community and it has been ex-
tended a liberal support. to which It
has been Justly entitled.
