We are pleased to present to our
readers this week complete program
of the events which will take place
at the Delaware County Fair on Sep
tember 8, 4, 5, and 6, 1918. The Of
ficers have spared no efforts to pro-
vide such attractions as will be sure
to please the visitors, and program
has been arranged with new features
for each day. For years the idea
has prevailed that Thursday is al
ways the best day Of the fair. This
may have been true in the past, but
it will not hold good this year. The
officers have attempted to have at
fractions of high order each day,
and we believe we are right when
we say that one days program is
Just as good as the next.
