VALLEY FAIR DEBT
NOW OVER $4,000
Future to Be Discussed at An.
nuaI Meeting tuesday
Some Of officers Do Not Wish to Serve
Longer and Reorganization May Be
Made-Dinner to Be Omitted.

What the future has in store for the
Valley Fair association is matter OF
some speculation. Printed statements
were sent to the stockholders yesterday
showing the financial condition OF the
association and these show that the IN
debtedness is $ll 100, while the balance
on hand is only 800, while overhead eX-
penses 90 on all the time. This is WITHIN
a few thousand dollars of the assets.
The annual meeting of the association
will be held in the Brooks House parlors
next Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. No
dinner will be served at the meeting this
year. The situation will be gone over
thoroughly at that time, and it is evil
dent that some new plan must be adopted
or the association will face the necessity
of liquidating. Some of the officers do
not care to serve longer, so reorganza
ton may be decided upon.
In explanation of the increased in
debtedness the statement says:
"The indebtedness as shown above,
which is the largest amount the fair has
incurred since its organization, goes
back through five years, and is made up
of deficiencies in each of these five
years. After the 1913 fair the associa
ton was clear of debt, with balance
on hand of $5.S7. At the close of the
1914 fair there was a shortage of $3.50
After the fair of 1915 we were obliged
to increase our debt to $4,000, due to
rain on the second day; also to the fact
that the association had erected new
buildings for this fair to the amount of
81 800. In 1916 preparations were made
for a better fair than ever before and
some $4,000 had been spent in this
preparation when, 10 days before the
opening day, the board of health closed
all fairs because of the infantile pa
ralysis epidemic. This resulted in the
association finding itself obliged to in
crease its debt by $4,000 more, making
the total $4,000. In 1917 the associa
tion went through somewhat the same
experience-no fair being held because
of the epidemic.
"Thc overhead expense of keeping
the grounds, with the loss of two years
state aid of $1,000, caused an increase
of 81 400 in the debt, bringing the tota
to $7,700 the amount reported one yeal
ago and with which your directors start
ed on the 1918 fair.
"The worst kind of rainy weather
on two days of the 1918 fair left the as
ISOLATION about $4,000 short of paying
it's bills, and as the state. money of 5000
has only just been received, your di
rectors were obliged to borrow $1,000
making the present total indebtedness.
$11, 100. Against this some of the easl
on hand can be applied, thus reducing
the debt. 1t will be seen, therefore
that the overhead expense at present
of keeping the grounds ard holding nc
fairs is at least 81 500 per year"

People Constipated
and Don't Know It

1t seems odd. but it is true, that you may
be constipated and not know it,
You can see why it is. Take a glass and
pour in water until full. IL you keep on
pouring in water after the glass is full, it
will run over, but the glass stays full.
Just so with your bowels; they get full of
waste matter. and then they pass OFF OF. expel
from the body only about the same amount
thar goes into it in the form of food.
So you may have a movement of the bowels
every day and yet there will remain waste
matter that ought to be removed,
Give your bowels a gentle but thorough
cleaning out and you'll feel great.
A fine prescription for this is put up aud
sold under the name Of Dr. True's Elixir
Doctors and druggists use il in their own
families Costs but little and brings health tC
men, women and children. Sweet and pleas
ant tasting, Works gently. Children like it
