his letter the state fair secretary also
asked what the attitude Of the local
association would be expressing lhe
belief that al least go per cent 81 all
the fairs In the state OF Illinois would
be unable t0 hold 7heir annual meet

reply to the letter bur he stated to-
day that although all OF Ehe officers
of the local fair had NOT discussed tle
matter he believed that S would be
impossible TO hold the Mercer county

Bowers has investigated the matter

opinion that the bill via bee passed,
although one can never tell what viii
be done when the matter IS taken 10 a
