ONE MORE FAIR
PASSES INTO HISTORY.

| Mineral Point has had another fair
| 1t was held last week and was the 4Stt
annual without single omission or 8
single dollar of indebtedness unpaid
A record of which to he proud.
AS the present Tribune publisher has
had the personal task for the last forty
years to report on each of these truly
great and grand" first and hes"
| fairs, he finds himself at a loss of am
munition, if repetition is to be barred
In dealing with facts wen have to
repeat by saying that Mineral Points
fair this year was good, handicaps con-
sidered, and when the fairs of Wiscon-
sin round up their reports for 1918,
we feel confident ours will, as usual,
hold its title to best if not first. We're
not including the state fair, which ex-
cells, but only in quantity.
The exhibit of live stock was small
but very choice. Field and garden
products were exceptionally good in
quality and large in display. The same
can be said of flowers. The Hoover
restrictions may have Handicapped the
ladies in their culinary skill. but there
was little or no sign of it. Ones mouth
fairly watered while taking look over
the display. The educational depart
ment was strong feature of the fair.
1t is simply wonderful how alert and
well drilled are the youth of today.
The largest exhibit in any one de-
partment was that of poultry over
twenty-five hundred entries.
In mentioning displays it wouldn't do
to overlook the candidates for public
Office They were out in full bloom
