A good many folks do not realize
it but the Liberty Loan is particular
ly poor mans loan. The rich men
who buy the bonds have to pay taxes
on them while poor men do not.
They are not taxable up to $1,000
above that they are. No one has the
right to say that the Liberty bonds
are a rich mans investment. On the
contrary they offer the advantage to
the man of small means.

COUNTY FAIR SEPT 1928.

The secretary of the Washington
County Fair Association sends The
News the following relative to this
years fair:
The Twelfth annual Fair of the
Washington County Fair Association
will be held this year September rs,
rs, q and %, and from all indca-
tons it will be the greatest county
fair ever held in the Southwest. A
fair is measured by the number and
character of the exhibits displayed
The fair management has every as
surance that there will be the great
est number of exhibits ever entered
at any county fair in the country.
There is a very good reason for this,
or we might say there are several
| reasons why the expectations of those
IN charge of the fair should be realiz-
ed First. The school children over
the county have come to regard the
first day of the fair as peculiarly
theirs, and they are ambitious that
the work from their schools shall be
just little better than ever before
and they are expecting that several
schools not heretofore represented
will be on hand with first class ex-
hibits; second, the boys and girls of
the canning, poultry, pig and corn
j clubs are twice as numerous as in
any former years and Miss King and
Mr.. Backstrom have said that the
showing to be made by the boys and
girls this year will surprise every one
who visits the fair-a special place
Will be set aside for the exhibits of
these clubs; third, the splendid vege-
table and fruit crops have given to
the housewives an opportunity to can
and preserve a more varied assert
ment of the things that grow in the
garden, and already they are talking
about the number OF premiums they
are to get at the far; fourth, the
magnificent and unparalleled crops
of field, farm and orchard will give
these departments the largest and
most splendid display ever seen in all
this state, fifth, the increased number
of fine blooded cattle in the country
will bring to the fair greater num-
Der of fine animals than have ever
been brought together in this section
of the state When you think about
these things you will readily under
stand why everybody is saying that
the fair this year will be the best ever
/ held
The committee in charge Of the en-
tertainment feature are in eommuni-
cation with many first class entertain
ers any you may be sure that there
will be something doing every min
ute of the fair. Music, monkeys, wild
west shows, merry go-rounds and
many other things to amuse and en-
terrain will be on the grounds.
Then several townships are con-
templating holding township fairs
just before the date of the big fair so
they can gather together the best
products of this community to show
in a township exhibit from their
township. If you have not thought
about this why not now get together
in your community and see to it that
you have a first class exhibit from
your township. Don't let the other
fellow get ahead of you. $3.50 will be
given away for township exhibits.
We want you to watch for further
announcements for many new features
will be added every daV
