TABER WOMAN RoAsTs US ALI


Taber is a tax paying precinct
located in Bingham county and Is
surely much interested in the
county's welfare. AS a member of
this precinct, l, for one, heartily in
dorse the plan of the county buying
the fair grounds. Let the people
step out and help make it grand
success. The county or individuals
owning the grounds can't give us a
successful fair without the co-opera
ton of the people of the county. Now
aet the people clear their minds OF
the absurd idea that the fair is an
advertising scheme for Blackfoot. 1t
is no more so for them than for the
entire county. And it is one Of the
best free advertisements our county
can have If it is success. It brings
people from a distance to see the
fine blooded stock and thoro-bred
poultry, fruits and other products.
If it is failure it is our own fault.
I would not care to live in a county
that could not support good county
fair. We all know that Bingham
county has all the stock, poultry,
fruit, vegetables, hay and grain of
its own necessary to make an ex-
hibit, and the very idea of the town
not having energetic men enough to
conduct fair is nonsense. When !
read such news in our paper, though
wishing the editor no harm, could
wish the trains were all showed in
and the paper unable to reach its
destination. l know capable men
could be found in Blackfoot that
would be proud to take hold of the
management of such an honorable
work for the county. Don't send
our people to Idaho Falls to spend
their money, and to find entertain
ment. We don't want to ride the
back seat of the Ford but to look
out and see all we can. Do you not
remember how enthusiastic we used
to be to head our class at school?
And it is just so with county that
supports good fair. think county
without fair is like shoe without
a sole, 1t isn't much. So let the
county buy the fair rounds and each
one in the county help to make 1t a
success, beautify the grounds, make
them sanitary. Put in some movies
of the clean sort for the children and
grown folks who want to rest and be
entertained at the same time. Let
the fair stay at the county seat, but
If they 60 to move it, remember that
Taber has in the first bid and will
donate the Grounds to dear old Bling

is a dry donation. | thing where
county has it's own fair grounds we
all feel more at home to go to the
fair than where they are owned by
individuals. So by all means let's
have fair this fall Yes, go to
Idaho Falls if you want to, but can
or do you depend on other towns to
sell your crops? Let's put all pre-
iudice from our minds and join
hands and boost our county, and sup
port fair such as our county de-
serves. Why should not Blackfoot
receive it's part of praise when 1t
throws open it's doors to entertain
the people of the county during the
fair? And let's keep in mind that
every town in the county can't sup
port the fair except with the help OF
the smaller towns. The county seat
can and should do this have lived
in counties that had fairs and
counties that had none, and the great
difference was noticed so much that
we sold our beautiful home and left
the county for we did not care to
take a back seat
Now we are getting our good roads
and schools as fast as time will per-
NIT and our taxes are not burdening
us so heavily, show me the man that
kicks at his taxes and l will show
you a knocker. The experiment sta
ton is all right, but there are large
numbers of people that can go to
the fair and see the products of the
county and learn the good from the
station, who are not financially fixed
to spend three or four days at the
experiment station with their fam
lilies, and consequently their boys and
Girls would be deprived of the sights
of any of the work and products II
there were no fair. We are dry
farmers in a new district and paid
$38 taxes per year on our ranch and
still are willing to help boost our
county to A number one-what she
deserves, so let's get this settled soon
and go to preparing for the fair and
make it grand success. Subscribe
