WAR CONDITIONS CAUSE FAIRS

War conditions this year make nee
essary somewhat extensive revislons
in the premium list of the Southern
Iowa fair in order to keep within
bounds of the government require
ments and the revision will extend in
to all branches of food, provisions and
clothing. Because of the shortage in
both food and clothing material state
authorities and fair secretaries, CO.
operating with government officials
have thought best that premiums be
offered in harmony with the nation
wide plans of conservation.
Indeed, the fairs will be made the
instrument of stimulating this work.
Therefore all frills will be omitted

laid upon the production of that which
will assist in winning the war.
The revised premium list will be
