larger ones, an dthere just as many
things to do and just as many which
can be done. So we must

4 WORKING MOTTO.

motto here given means this year,
here and now. 1t means Fairgrounds
and more Fairgrounds this year, it

It is work for everybody; particu-
slRrly for community welfare societies.
1tis work to bring Joy and satisfac-

workers and to those who profit in
happiness from the work.
1t is easy to put off work until an
other year, to plan too late, to fail
to get into action despite best-made
desire and best-laid plans. Many
other times, tasks are only partially
completed for lack of stimulus
