program and all enjoyed social
hour. VIII

We are Indebted to the citizens
of the city and villages in which
these contests were held, for the
royal good times they provided.
On the whole we are we'll pleased
with the results obtained from the
1913 Industrial contest. 1t will,
however, be noted that the Warren
contest was the smallest. This, no
doubt, was due to various reasons
but the chief one, we believe can
be ruled out next year if we all get
busy and the Warren contest will
neer again appear as the smallest.
The fair association has been
generous in delegating to our use
the space under the grandstand.
They have no better place to give
us, but there is no reason why we
should not erect a building of our
own on the fair grounds. With a
fine powdery dust ankle deep, and
popcorn, gum, ice cream, and what
not, sitting down from above, we
felt that we had to apologize for
asking visitors to view the exhibits
the boys and girls had worked so
hard on and which i'm themseles
needed no apology.
The fair association has gener-
ously promised that if we put up a
building of our own, all exhibitors
at the contest may enter the fair
grounds free on exhibitors ticket.
There are thirty-eight districts af-
fected by this contest and if all
would give from five to ten dollars
toward building fund, It would be
amply provided for in one year.
Posters will be sent out to all
these districts showing the differ
emit aspects OF rightly exhibited dis
play as compared with the condi-
tions we had to meet.
We are requesting the teachers
OF the schools affected to meet with
US Saturday the eighth Of Novem-
Der in order to talk over the cam
paign, and / am sure that we can
