list would run to about $500 which sum
was fixed as the amount it was decided
to raise this year, and the director in
each district was instructed to proceed
with soliciting the funds from bis dis
trict. 1t was also decided that Hon.

and his Flying Squadron, as it was
dubbed, should again make its rounds
Of the county in August and get .such
subscription as could then be secured.
It is again the plan to pay all subscrip-
tions in cash and there ia no sourse of
income except thru private contributions
and it is therefore necessary that the
citizens rally to the assistance of the
directors to help raise the $500 needed.
All pens, etc, are in hand from last
year and but little expense will be need
ed along this line this year.
The temper of those present at Sat-
urday's meeting shows beyond doubt
that Fayette county people want fair
this year and there is evidence from all
parts of the county to indicate that in
terest will be wider and deeper than
ever before and the fair will grow to
larger proportions than il has in any
past year. The directors invite the
cooperation of every citizen of the
county and urge that all join in making
this the biggest and best agricultural
and live stock fair the county has ever

Keeping Dried Beans.

Beans used as food may be freed
from tendency to spoil by dipping them
into boiling water and spreading them
out to dry.
Seed beans are freed by adding an
ounce of carbon bisulphide to barrel
of beans. The barrel must be covered.
Carbon bisulphide comes in liquid
form and should be put in a saucer and
placed in the top of the barrel; as the
liquid evaporates the gas decends thru
the beans. This is not in the least
harmful to the beans. After the beans
have been freed from organisms they
should be stored in air tight containers.

fitting lid and the seams covered with
paper pasted to the box is good con-
