other people are doing and have and
makes you take an interest in the
county. 1t shows other people that
you do take an interest in your county.
1t is the Union County Fair, an ex-
hibition of the products of the county
in which you live.
Take something to the Fair, do your
best and see if you can't get blue
ribbon.
1t is instructive to grown-ups by
showing them what can be made and
raised and done in Union county. 1t
is instructive to children by showing
them the different things raised or
made in their county. 1t often shows
very old and historical things. 1t
shows the different kinds of stock
raised in Union county.
Then the school exhibits are of much
interest to school children They show
them what other school children are
doing and they try to do better.
Fair day is like holiday, go there
to have good time if for nothing
else.
The races, etc, are of much interest
to everyone, and the shows are there
to see.
Go to Union County Fair and tell
those who do not go how good it is
and try to get them to go.
Take all the interest in other Fairs
you like, but Union County Fair first
1t will be better this year than ever.
Joe A. Chambers.
Union High School.
think the Union county folk
should attend the Fair because it
makes the people more homogeneous.
The more often people meet together
the more alike they become. 1t unites
the people and sections of the county.
The people who attend the County
Fairs find out what is being done in
the other sections of the county.
When they understand what is hap
pening in other sections their interests
become widened and broadened and
they become ambitious.
The County Far promotes industry.
Those people who attend the Fair see
! how other people do their work. The
farmers get new ideas about agricul-
ture. The merchants see new goods
displayed in the shop.
Whenever and wherever people meet
together ideas ara exchanged and As>svI
customs are adopted. The people be-
come more interested in one another
and whenever we find such a state of
affairs we also find progress.
Ola Coleman.
Jonesville High School,.
There are many reason why Union
county people should attend our Fair.
First, they hould go in order that
they may see the improvements that
are being made in different lines of
farming, such as raising horses, cat
tie, hogs and chickens.
They will also learn the improve
ments that have been made on fancy
and making tatting. And ;r looking
through the exhibits they may find
work such as crocheting, embroidery
different kinds of pickles, jellies and
preserves that they would like t. have
the receipt for, then they can find the
maker and talk it over together
1t Is good idea along educational
lines. If each school would carry a
good exhibit it would be benefit not
only to their community but to other
schools and their communities. Each
pupil should try to take fine exhibit
and try to improve even the best, and
not only the pupil should go but also
the parents should attend and try to
encourage the children. They should
| also take exhibits and exchange ideas
| with other farmers.
There are also many pleasures de-
rived from the Fair. The young peo-
pie enjoy such things as shows. They
also have carnivals and refreshments
to sell such as candies, coca -colas and
chewing gum.
If everyone, both old and young,
would attend, there would be great
improvements from year to year in
schools, farming and housekeeping.

Sedalia High School.
The Union County Fair is primarily
for the people of Union County, where
they can come together and exchange
ideas of farm and home life, and be-
sides all one can learn, there is much
to be seen and heard. If all the peo-
pie of Union county would attend the
Fair and bring good display of pro-
ducts each year, and if interest were
taken by all the people, not only the
FAR would be better but the county
would be more progressive, and not
only the county but the people. For
instance, if all the schools of our
county would send good display from
each school and every pupil attend
the school would get a great benefit
from it.
