IN FAIRS HISTORY
Ruth Law Thrills Crowds With Aero
plane Flights and Spectacular
Flights.-NOtes of the
Fair.

The 1919 Rusk County Fair closed to-
day.
Exhibits in all lines were exceptional
ly good, although in some lines not as
large as in previous years
Attendance Wednesday and Thursday
was very large, but was rather light to-
day. Paid adult admissions Wednesday
were $3.50 and on Thursday, $500. AS
every exhibitor was given a ticket when
he made his entry, and children were
not counted in the above figures. it is
conservatively estimated that with the
membership and other passes, consider
ably over 1000 people attended the fair
on both of the two days named. Fri
days attendance was comparatively
light. the paid admissions being only
about 1000 and the total attendance
about 1000
Ruth Laws aeroplane's flights were
the big attraction of the fair and the
famous woman aviator did not disap-
point the crowds that came to see her
perform in the air. IN spite of heavy,
variable winds and a rather unsatis-
factory flying field to start from and
alight on. she made her two scheduled
flights daily. thrilling the crowds with
her daring stunts"
