Once again the Supreme
Chancellor of the Universe hath

All Can Afford
To Attend
State Fair

Every farmer and every other bust
nessman can well afford to knock off
a day or two and attend the State
Fair at Hutchinson. There is no place
where he can see so much and have
such a good time, and also see some
thing of the educational features. Peo-
pc get tired of trying to learn all the
time and then again most peope know
better than they do Or. another way
of putting it, is that they do not do
as well as they know. OF course a
State Fair inspires one to attempt
greater things, better and easter
methods, and few days spent at the
Fair impels one even unconsciously TO
say deep down in himself that he is
going to do more and do it easier and
better
To stay on the farm continuously
becomes more or less irksome. A
man gets away from the farm more
frequently than do the women and
children. For this reason it is fair to
give the whole family an outing. Any
one so disposed can procure a tent
and find camping room on the ground.
The Iowa State Fair has five or six
thousand such attendants every year
People drive to the State Fair of
Iowa from all parts of the state, and
we invite Kansans to do the same.
Let the women and children have the
advantage of few days away from
the sameness of the work and the
continuance of the grind on the farm.
We would be glad to have anyone
who may peruse these lines to try t
once and see if they. will not be so
pleased that it will become an an
nual occurrence, conditions permit
ting. II is good for the girls and good
for the boys to get out and see other
people; how they dc and how they
dress, and have a thousand texts for
conversation after the State Fair is
over,

County Exhibits
at the State Fair

One of the most interesting features
of the Kansas State Fair at Hutchin-
son, is the exhibits made by the vart-
GUS counties Of the state. A number
OF counties have already applied for
space this year. among which Is Allen,
Jewell, Harper, Seward, Morton, Rice,
Pawnee, Harper, Lyon, and in addition
a number of Commercial Clubs pro-
pose to exhibit the products OF their
respective communities. There Is no
way to popularize a county or COM
munity more than by making these ex-
hibits at the State Fair
The law provides that county can
spend any sum under $500 to make an
exhibit at the State Fair. This law is
entirely equitable because it distrib-
utes the expense of boosting the In
ducements offered by the county by
showing its products and resources
upon all alike whether resident or
nonresident citizens. The expense
amounts to but few cents to each in
dividual and still the aggregate is sur
ficient to permit the county to make
most creditable display. Every citl-
zen, old or young, will think more Of
his locality after seeing it so credit
ably represented We all love our
state but we would not were it not
for the community in which we have
our homes Every county has COM
mercial club or similar organization
that can start the agitation for a
county display and suggest one or
more of the citizens to take charge OF
same under the guidance Of the
Board of County Commissioners. or
course fine display can be made
without expendlng the maximum
amount allowed by the law, II any
reader should desire authority for
this statement, >turn to Chapter 293,
of the Session laws of 1919 and read
section eight. Eventually this will be
one Of the great features Of the State
Fair, as It is in Texas and oklahoma
