D. S. Collins Of Iowa township was
elected president, three new members
Of the executive committee were Sc
lected. and directors were chosen. and
the executive committee was instruct
! ed to increase the size OF the grand
stand at the annual meeting Of the
stockholders and directors OF the Mar
shall County Fair Association, held
| Wednesday afternoon.
! In addition to the enlargement Of the
grand stand, which the stockholders d.
rected, it is probable that the executive
committee will build poultry building
and perhaps swine sheds.
The officers elected, in addition to
! Mr.. Collins, were: Vice president. G..
F. Stansberry, Gilman; treasurer. G. G..
st. Clair, city; secretary. w. NJ. Clark,
city.
Directors Chosen.
The nine directors elected were. D. S.
Collins, Iowa; Elias Bueghly, Liscomb;
Frank H. Smith Liberty; H. Showalter.
Timber Creek and E. r. Lay, L. c. Alb
bolt, O. L. Ingledue, il. s. Ketchum and
A. p. Strub. city. They were chosen
to fill the expired terms.
The retirement of Warren Nichols,
president, the election Of D. S. Collins
to succeed him, and the expiration Of
the terms of w. A. Nichols and George
w. Darling, made three places to fill
in the executive committee. Those
elected for the three-year terms were
O. L. Ingledue. city, and Frank III.
Smith, Of Liberty township. T. p.
Low, of Marion, was selected to fill the
unexpired term Of Mr.. Collins for two
years.
Supply Great Need.
The stockholders were we'll nigh
unanimous on the question Of increas-
ing the size Of the grand stand, so that
| every one who wanted to pay for .
| good seat would find room to sit. The
motion that instructed the executive
committee to borrow the money, II nee
essary, and to take the receipts for the
additional seats and apply the sum on
the loan until it should be paid.
The poultry exhibitors are wanting Q
building, and will probably get 1t. They
have submitted the plan for q exhibit
hail. 1895 feet, that will accommodate
1000 birds. The building Is without a
floor, but the sides are made up to open

More Land 10 Needed.
More land is needed for fair ground
purposes. It is needed particularly for
sites for swine and sheep sheds. and
for space in which to park autorno-
biles and other vehicles. G. F. Stans-
berry. who has managed the swine and
sheep departments for years. did not
70 nj
building until the ground to put 1t on
was procured.
The stockholders, by resolution, in
structed the executive committee to
ask the supervisors to procure options
for the purchase Of any land adjoining
the fair grounds. and to submit the
proposition Of a purchase Of any such
land up to the voters at the primary
next June.
Should this effort fail, the stock
holders instructed the executive COM,
mittee to lease such land adjoining the
fair grounds as was available.
Moro Money For Races.
Next years racing program will
probably show very marked increase
in the size Of the purses offered. There
is very pronounced feeling among the
directors that the purses should be in
! creased to $4,000, and that fewer races.
perhaps, should beScarded. The diff
Guilty it was pointed out, was that it
is very hard to get entries in the fall
for $500 events.
Nichols Of Much Aid to Fair.
After serving for eight years on the
board Warren Nichols who has been Of
very material aid in promoting the
welfare of the fair, was allowed to re-
<to 80
| fort being made to re-elect him.; He
asked that he be allowed to step out.
The selection of his successor de-
| veloped a very happy situation,s as
both Of the old hold-over members Of
the executive committee from outside
the city. were well fitted for the OFFICE
The friendly rivalry that the friends Of
Stansberry and Collins put forth mere
ly emphazide this fact. Mr.. Collins
was elected on his own merits and
partly because the board wanted to
keep Stansberry at the head Of the
| swine and sheep divisions. Then the
directors elected him vice president,
Choose Dates For Fair.
The 1914 fair will be held Sept. z to
II inclusive. These dates are very
nearly the same az last year. The bus
mess Of the fair demands that the su.
perintendents Of two departments DO
appointed very early. 80 the board
chose w. T.. Bennett to succeed George
w. Darling as superintendent OF speed;
Aaron Palmer to be superintendent Of
the educational department.
