Vermilion Parish
Fair Closes

The Vermilion Parish Fair and Elk
hibit which was he'd on Wednesday
Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last
week, came to a successful close.
While the exhibits were not numer.
Gus as was in the past, they were bet.
ter quality and all who saw them were
much pleased with them.
The live stock department was not
as well represented as last year, but
some good stock was exhibited. This
was due to the farmers being very busy
and unable to get the necessary help.
The canning display was the best
ever shown in Velmilion Parish, and
was pronounced so by the judges.
1t is very regreteul that the mer-
chants of this city found themselves
too busy to devote time for the fair
and the visitors, and as a result many
of the merchants failed to even visit
the exhibit hall and pens.
In another column will be found the
list of premiums awarded by the jud-
ges. Many of the premium offers were
not taken as the articles for that were
not exhibited.
a meeting of the fair association
will be called at an early date for the
election Of officers and to make plans
for the fair next year.

extensive grazing areas should have
considerable numbers Of sheep on them;

We are in a great war. We must win.
We can't win without money and we
can't win without men. The selective

part Of the funds. The first Liberty
Lean Bonds have been sold to raise an
other part OF the Funds More money
must be raised by the sale Of the Sec
ond Liberty Loan Bonds.
Therefore, let every merchant, farmer
banker, labOrer, professional man, id

so, buy one or more bonds. 1t is a
