Fairs are public enterprise. their purpose being to keep abreast with advanced agricultural methods that our com munity may take front rank and cope with the revolutiOnizing influences and changing customs that are annually taking place. For that purpose a time and a place is set each year to bring together the products of the field and shop that stimulus may be given to those departments of labor upon which rests our great national wealth. Not only does the fair afford opportunities for educational advancement, it is trysting place for the old and the young, a place to meet and visit with old friends, to form new aCquaintances, to more firmly cement the ties of friendship.
