WOODWARD BROOK.

The Mile Lacs County fair for
1914 is thing of the past. 1t was
all any one could wish for and just
what had been predicted the best
fair ever held in this county, thanks
to those who worked hard for it's
success. Not one feature would we
wish erased from the interesting do
ings of the fair days. The president.
directors and other officers are to be
congratulated on it's success. None
but those taking an active part in
the work understand that success
spells more than thanks or pay. The
county certainly owes the publisher
of the Union, r. @. Dunn, vote Of
thanks for the numerous notices and
advertising items concerning the
fair, placed in it's issues for many
weeks free of charge. The Union is
medium of bringing news of in
terest to us, because it concerns us,
to our homes and we farm folk es-
pecially should show our apprecia-
tion by being subscribers for the
best Mile Lacs county paper-The
Princeton Union. Thanks to Peter
Jensen, who directed the work:
