behooves us to do our part to upbuild
it every year.
All ladies and girls enjoy seeing
exhibits of fancy work, such as croch-
citing and embroidery. Such things as
this encourage us to do our part, rs
well as to try to encourage others.
We should strive to upbuild our
county and try to accomplish all the
good that we can, especially for our
own county and people.
We also become acquainted with our
neighbors and all the people in our
county, form new and lasting friend
ships which go far towards making
our lives happier, outside of the edu-
catlonal and financial benefits we Ie-
ceive.
1t is place of enjoyment as well
as a great help in teaching many new
things which might prove to be help
full sometime in the future.
All of these ideas will entice any
one to come to our Fair.
There are more than a few reasons
for the people of our county to at
tend our Fair, but these are amonw tie
most important.

| think it is to the interest of all
Union county people to attend the
County Fair because it is :. rood ,r-
ganlzation. 1t is -upbui'dinr to the
people of Union county. 1t was or
ganlzed to get the people together. so
they can see what the people Cf our
county are doing and how mary i'm.
provements they are making iron,
one year to another. In this way we
exchange ideas about a great many
things.
The farmers get many ideas about
cultivating their crops and raising fine
stock and many new ideas occur to
them that would not have had they not
gone to the County Fair.
The ladies and girls also learn many
useful lessons about fancy work. can
ming and cooking different eatables. I
think in one sense the Fair is a
schooling to us all as we'll as a pleas
ure. Therefore 1 think every person
in Union county should attend the Fair
that possibly can and try to carry
something to exhibit so the Fair will
ihe,sa .ssHScess and not a. failure. I
Ethink~f we all would do our duty and
get busy we could have Fair to be
proud of. I wish all of our county
people could realize how important the
County Fair is and how much there
is to be learned by attending it. 1t
is just wonderful to look around and
see the evidences of the children of
today, the beautiful art work and
lovely hand work that they are being
taught to do and the many different
kinds of canned goods they have put
up, nice pickels, preserves and jellies
of all kinds. All of this is instructive
to the young people of our county
and many of us can learn a lesson
from this. We see things that we do
not know how to make. We can find
out by asking how it is done and can
get information all about it. then we
have learned something and we can
teach others in the same way. SO it
is with the farmers. They see some
find agricultural work they don't un-
derstand and inquiring, they learn a
useful letter. So let US try to see
how many things we can carry to
the Fair. Last year our Fair was
very good, but let us try to make this
one the best that has ever been.
There are so many things to be
| learned at a Fair. You can learn
about stock, poultry, agriculture, fan
cy work and about canning. | saw so
many nice canned goods last year. |
certainly got some good ideas about
canning. | have canned about a hun
dred or more cans this year, so the
Fair has been help to me as well as
a pleasure.
For instance, I have seen ladies
looking at the fancy work that others
have made and go home and make
some like it, so there is much to be
learned at Fair. 1t is good for old
and young and everyone should come
for he is certain to learn something
of interest.

The Union county people should at
