COUNTY FAIR Will
SURELY BE HELD
Promoters Not to be lnflu-
enced by Objections.
Contracts Have Been Signed and Agents
are Securing Exhibits.

There has been considerable local
objection to the County Fair project.
There was reason for objections, chief
of which is the limited time allowed
to secure exhibits. Then there was
the objection advanced that the fair
is more of an individual enterprise
than a spontaneous county move
ment. That is true. But individuals
are obliged to show enterprise in order
to secure the movement. The time
of year is also objected to; it is too
near the Christmas holidays, and
some money that might be spent in
the stores will be spent for the shows.
That will not amount to much; the
fair admission is gratis; the shows
only cost 10 and Is cents; the areo-
plane flights are free.
There is compensation; the fair
will bring crowds to the city who
might not otherwise visit it.
But it is too late for objection and
the best thing to do is the wise thing.
Accept it and push it. The promo
ters are in for it. They have signed
contracts with She amusement compa-
MES and must make good. Help
them. ENJOY YOURSELVES.

lowing statement:

Perhaps no branch of food product

Guiding, of course, the production OF
eggs. We are all prone TO underes-
innate the value of eggs as a food
product for tne reason that we allow
our minds to look upon "hen-fruit

Quoted by the landowners have there
been such radical changes OF late
years as the poultry industry. In
deed, the raising of poultry and pso-
duction of eggs have come to be sci
ences, and yet SO simple ones as to
make one wonder how long it was
possible for us so long to pursue the
occupation in the haphazard ways of
even a decade ago. The business has
been systematized so that the incu-
bator and the brooder have taken the
place of mother hen Thousands of
people are engaged in the "incubat-
ing" of chicks which they sell when
they are day old at about 10 cents
each, and ship them long distances, in
many cases 1000 miles. And here is
where the parsed post comes in as the
greatest boon the poultrymen have
ever had, for it has cut the cost of
transporting the chicks in half. If
we get no other good from the postal
services that benefit alone will more
than make up for any deficit hat
may occur.
