HERE'S LOGIC

For years we have been look
ing for a valid unshakable ar
gument against woman suffrage.
1t is too late to help in Kansas,
but we reprint this from an
anti-suffragist writer in the
Brooklyn Eagle as an argument
that can't be answered:
Take child-labor. Who kicks
up all the row about that? Not
men, certainly. No, suffragettes.
Children are perfectly comfort
able working in canneries. Those
who work in the canneries come
from a class of people who are
accustomed to labor hard, who
have nothing, and if their chill
dren didn't work in the Gamer
les they probably would starve

r. Stensvad, Pres. of Redwood
County Society Writes for
'The Farmer"
Courtesy of The Farmer)

\COuI IGSy VI lie L dIIIlGT)
During the last five years
there has been a district revival
of county fairs, regeneration
and revitalizing, as it were, of
the principles which were the
fundation of the fairs of fifteen
or twenty years ago. There are
several reasons for this. The
new community spirit which has
spread itself abroad over the
agricultural districts during the
past few years, the awakened
interest in everything pertain
ing to agriculture, and the use
of the automobile which elimi-
mates distance, makes every man
g. neighbor to every other man
within a radius of many miles,
and makes it possible for peo-
Pile from all over the county to
attend the fair with comfort and
pleasure.
Perhaps there is no other one
factor, excepting the schools
and churches, so potent in COM
munjty building as the county
fair when ctrducted along the
right lines. The successful far
is always a time of social pleas
ure and educational advantage.
While it is pre-eminently for the
farmers profit and pleasure, the
farmer and his neighboring
townsmen have become so close
ly united in their interests that
every merchant, banker, dealer
or professional man living in an
agricultural district is a farmer
at heart and is keenly interested
in the fair as one of the impor-
tant features in the life of the
community, recognizing that
anything that tends toward COM
munity welfare is an agent in

horses, an agricultural exhibit
building, a grandstand, with a
seating capacity of nearly two
thousand, and a building exclu-
sively for the county school ex-
hibits. 1t owns it's own grounds,
which consist of thirty acres Of
land entirely enclosed with WOW
en-wire fencing. An important
part Of the equipment is half
mile race-track which is &C
knowledged by horsemen to be
the fastest track in the state.
These grounds and buildings
have been acquired within the
last four years, and the fairs
have not only been self-support-
ing, but have contributed large
ly toward the payment of the
cost of the buildings which, with
the exception of one barn, have
been constructed of cement, are
lasting and large enough to meet
the need for the next several
years. The usual method of sell
ing stock has been resorted to
successfully as means of rails
ing a part of the necessary mon
ey for equipment.
School Exhibits
The exhibits Of school children
are valuable and attractive
part of the county's exhibits,
especially now that industrial
and agricultural training take
such an important place in rur-
al school work. It is always de-
sirable that these exhibits have
an exclusive building if possible
Many counties are meeting this
demand, as Redwood County has
done, by asking the pupils and
teachers to raise the funds for
this building themselves. In Red
wood County a building costing
81, 900 was e.ected in this way
and used for the first time at
the 1915 fair. It proved one of
the best of advertising features,
as parents and children both
took a decided and personal in

County Fair As melting Pot"
Its Part In Community Work

his own social, business and pro-
fesisonal welfare. So the coun-
ty fair has grown from simply
a place for the exhibition of
farm products to a gathering
place for all classes for mutual
benefit and pleasure.
Four Reasons Why
There are, in the writer's es-
timation, four reasons why the
county fair is so important an
element in community life. The
first of these four, and perhaps
the most important, is the strong
social impetus given a county
by it's annual fair. The second
is the encouragement it offers
to agriculturists, stockmen and
others to produce things worthy
of exhibition; third, the educa-
ton which is furnished by the
comparison of exhibits and the
learning of production methods
used by others, and the realiza-
ton Of what the county is cap
able of producing; and, lastly,
the pure amusement element
which is an often-underated fea-
ture Of the fair. There is moth
ing which advertises the county
so well as a good fair, showing
the farm crops which may be
raised, it's soil, fertility and 9TH
er advantages as a dwelling
spot, and the progressiveness of
it's people.
Buildings Important
The first thing necessary to
the successful fair is a suitable
grounds equipped with suitable
buildings. The comfort and con-
venience of the exhibitors must
be considered and when the re-
quirements have been studied,
the buildings should be as well
constructed as possible. Money
put into buildings which must
be rebuilt after a few years is
money wasted.

Good Attractions
The best advertising the fair
Of next year can have is a good,
clean, lively, wide-awake fair
this year. The free attractions
and the races, concessions that
are clean and attractive and
courtesy of treatment to both
exhibitors and visitors are Just
as important features in this
advertising as are excellent and
interesting exhibits. Money and
care may we'll be freely expend-
ed in hiring entertainers and in
inducing owners Of really good
racing horses to bring their nor
ses to those fairs where horse
races are made feature 1t is
the writer's opinion that good
races are the best crowd-getting
attraction the county fair has.
But if they are to serve their
purpose as croWd-drawers they
MUST BE GOOD.
The Stock Exhibit
Too much cannot be said in
favor of the livee stock exhibit.
Nearly every agricultural sec
tion is awakening to a realiza-
tion of the fact that cattle and
swine are the most important
of farm crops, and that good
horses are the only horses that
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1915-12-15

should be raised. Owners Of
show animals should be induced
by liberal premiums and good
exhibit quarters to. bring these
animals, where they can be COM
pared with others Of their kind.
Fine animals attract all classes
of people. 1t takes tine to de-
velop the worthwhile stock ex-
hibit, but it is time we'll spent.
Within the last few years this
exhibit at the Redwood Coun-
ty Fair has shown a marked in
crease, due to the splendid quar-
tiers given the exhibit and to the
fact that the II endarce a. the
fairs is very large. StccFn7en
Ike to display their stock where
it will he seen hy roany people,
as this is thu IDEAL way Of adj
vertisirg
Get The Crowd
The getting Of the crowd IS,
after all the essential factor in
the making of the successful
fair, as financial support is alb
solutely necessary to its exist
ence, and this comes only to the
we'll attended fair, where the
attendance is attracted by the
right kind Of exhibits and at
fractions. Make a fair of which
tee community may be proud by
having only high-class features,
and the success of the fair is
assured.

WHAT CATARRH IS

Ii has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do httle,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the

medicinal food and building tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.
