Let's All Pull Together

The County Commissioner
have done their part in makinl
an official Torrance county ex
hibit possible at the State Fair
The problem of showing to tn,
best advantage all of our re-
sources now confronts US as in
dividuals. Anumber of farmers
and cattlemen as well as mer
representing the lumber inter
ests have offered cooperation
voluntarily. However, if the
exhibit is to be made success
in a true sense, the entire county
will have to be behind the move
ment.
Every citizen of the county
should consider himself a definite
part of the scheme to capture the
large prize. Individual ideas
and suggestions are asked for
and are wanted. Save the best
of everything you may have that
you might care 10 exhibit Plans
for getting livestock into show
condition should now be made.
IF we can unite in showing the
best of all that we have, there is
little doubt of the outcome.
The chief idea in putting on
this exhibit will be to develop
markets The opportunity Of
getting before the public of the
state in one concentrated effort
to show our best should not be
minimized.
In the near future district
managers will be appointed. You
who receive these appointments
are to consider yourselves public
servants with but one mission in
life, to unite in effort to repro
duce our ideals and ambitions
before a state audience.
Towns interested in develop
ing local displays should not
lose sight of the advantage in
offering suitable inducement for
creditable displays. While the
farmer or stockman is pot al
ways interested in the financial
inducement offered, he is inter
ested in seeing such institutions
managed in a business manner
and that promises are carried out
to the letter.

Last Saturday evening the editor and
editress bundled into Mr.. L. E. Wentz' 8
auto, and together with the genial pro-
prietor and proprietress of the Hotel
Irven, drove over to Cresco to attend
the play Kilkenny, featuring the Irish
tenor, Fiske O'Hara, making the trip
in good time. The new opera house at
C.esce Is a. building Of which any city
of ten thousand could well be proud.
1t was filled to capacity last Saturday
evening and gave O'Hara warm re-
ception That is the characteristic of
Cresco audiences, they always appreci-
ate something good. We speak from
experience, having faced appreciative
audiences in Cresco on several occas-
ions. But while we had grown accus-
toned to singing ''swan songs" in po-
litical campaigns we freely admit we
cannot sing like Fiske O'Hara.
His rendering of popular ballads is a
genuine treat and the charm is not
lessened by the fact that one can
understand every word he sings. -Elma

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Belts was the scene of a pleasant
social occasion last Friday evening. A
beautiful new house equipped with all
the modern improvements having re-
Gently been erected, the neighbors and
relatives planned surprise upon the

100 swarmed in upon the unsuspecting
household, arousing them from their
slumbers by serenade upon the
piano. The surprised pair rallied grace
fully to the occasion and an evening
long to be remembered followed. Mer-
riment and music reigned supreme un-
til in due season bountiful lunch was
served to which all did ample justice.
As visible token of esteem and re-
membrance of the occasion an entire
silver table service was presented to
MIR. and Mrs. Belts withSthe wishes
that many long years of happiness in
their new home, and the invaders with
drew to catch a few winks ere the
dulles of the morrow.
