THE FAIR ~RECOGNIzED.

There is general satisfaction oNeT
the announcement tina the railroads
have granted a two cent passenger
rate for tho state fair at Grand FORKS.
This is a reduction of one-iltth from
the North Dakota, n one-third from
the Minnesota rates. The saving tn
passengers who conc from a distance
will be quito an item, but perhaps
more important is the fact that in de-
parting from a pretty infcNlhle Gus
tom, and granting any rate reduction
whatever, the roads show that they
,~ecognize in the state fair here an en-
terprise which is worthy of support
and one which makes for the welfare
of the northwest.
The attitude of the roads I" the
fairs held at Grand Forks has been
uniformly friendly and apprcciat1ve.
The summer fairs have been recog-
njzed in a very substantial manner,
and the roads have displayed equal
interest in the midwintcr fair here,
which gives promise of becoming as
tlSetuI dS llle summer ltlit VI NV avn
more so.
AS the time passes there is coming
about a marked change in the attitude
of people of all classes toward the
great fairs. and a recognition of them
as educative influences, rather than
as mere entertainments. Undoubtedly
much of his is due to the work of the
better fairs themselves. At this place,
for instance. there has been a constant
effort to make of the fairs something
OF value to the community. something
which will instruct. and which will
enable those who attend to obtain in
formation and advice which will be
of service to them in their business,
The fair is Il business institution.
Farming is a business enterprise. And
a w~ell-managed fair is an aid to good
