And the Crowds
Were There

Never before in its history has our
Fair Association had the pleasure of
welcoming such crowd of visitors as
were present on Wednesday and
Thursday. Owing to the downpour of
rain, Friday, the days events were
practically all cancelled but the 1919
fair had already gone way over the
top with a record-breaking attendance.
This means that the gate receipts were
much larger than heretofore, and
shows that the people of this part of
the state appreciate the efforts of the
management in giving them everything
possible that goes with a first-class
County Fair. Large expenses were in
Cured by the Association in rebuild
ing and added free attractions, and it is
a source of qualification to know that
the added receipts will tend to balance
the years work.
Last year the management wired the
grounds and planned for night fairs.
Owing to inclement weather there was
a small attendance at night This year,
with pleasant evenings, good-sized
crowds were present each night, and
proved the wisdom of our Fair manage
ment in extending each days events
into the evening.

Fine Exhibits
Were Manifest

The exhibits this year, as a whole,
far outclassed those of previous years.
For some reason both the fruit and
vegetable departments fell off lament
ably; while the products on exhibition
were most excellent, the quantity fell
far short of that of the years previous.
Outside of these two divisions the ex-
hibits were way above the average.
Particularly was this true of the live
stock divisions, more higher-grade
blooded stock was on exhibition this
year than ever before, and it is evident
that the farmers of this region are real
izing the benefits to be derived in de-
veloping their live stock.
The Fancy Work division was well
filled with excellent exhibits which
were source of enjoyment to the
ladies'.
The new Educational Hall was how
ever the mecca for all, for here were
shown the handwork Of the pupils OF
Charlevoix county herald., 1919-09-19

Charlevoix County's city and rural
schools. With ample room provided,
the exhibits were arranged artistically,
without crowding, and showed up to
advantage. Commissioner of Schools
May L. Stewart, who had charge of this
department. thoroughly revised the
premium list of awards, placing them
on a standard basis, and the work ex-
hibited, following out definite plan,
showed remarkable progress.
The Boys and Girls Garden Club
Exhibit, shown in separate building,
was most excellent; in fact our farmers
will have to pay strict attention to their
vegetable exhibits in the future or
Young America will far outclass them.
In Farm Machinery, several tractors
were on exhibition, giving demonstra-
tions, and also silage machine. Many
other makes of machinery were also
exhibited.
Charlevoix county herald., 1919-09-19
Free Attractions
Worth While

WIthOut question the band music this
year was the sheet anchor that made
the free attractions worth while. Ew-
ings Zouave Band of Champaign, ILL.,,
proved what professional band can
do to make our fair success. This at
traction was secured at a cost of near
ly one thousand dollars and their music
was alone well worth the price of ad-
mission. Professor Wallace M. Ewing
commenced his career as bandmaster
in 18S8-"when you and | were young,
Maggie"-and the years of experience
has given him thorough knowledge
of just what the people want in the line
of band music. In addition to the many
artists in the band personnel, Miss AL
ma Huntley, lyric soprano, favored
with several selections that went big
with the crowds. Our fair management
are to be congratulated in securing
Professor Ewing's Band.
The path of the Fair Secretary is al
ways strewn with roses, but occasion
ally thorn manifests itself. Particular
ly is this true when free attractions
contracted for and advertised cancels
their engagement at the last moment
without caring hurrah for the feel
ings OF said secretary, or any possible
disappointment they may make. AT the
last moment this year the Wild West
Show wired cancellation of contracts
and Secretary Wilson was compelled to
keep the wires hot and spend a good
many worried hours, before some suit
able free acts could be secured. The
attractions thus secured at the eleventh
hour proved to be above the ordinary.

MUST WAIT CENTURY
BEFORE BURIAL SERVICE
Mans viii Makes Strange Re-
quest for Self and Grand
daughter.

Twenty-eight years are yet to elapse
before the bodies of Morris Bell and
that Of his granddaughter, Jane Peel
ing, which now repose in iron caskets
in vault In the Greenmount ceme-
terry at Springfield, o., will be put in
graves, If the wish of Bell is carried
out.
Due to the breaking Of pieces Of
glass in the caskets, City Manager
o. e. Carr recently ordered the vault
door boarded up so that visitors might
not enter the vault while the bodies
are exposed to the outside air.
For years the vault has been a
mecca for curious persons who visit
Springfield.
An article referring to the two bod
les, taken from a newspaper Of July
II, 1894, is as follows:
"Supt. Lewis e. Staley of Green
mount cemetery has been kept busy
the last six weeks showing the hum
dreds of curious and awe-struck Wis
itors the coffined remains of two peo-
pie who have been in their graves Of
iron for nearly half a hundred years.
"In vault, which is easily acces-
sible, a rickety wooden door being
without trouble easily unlocked and
opened, lie the remains of Morris Bell
and his granddaughter, Jane Peeling,
both lying in iron coffins placed upon
stone supports, four feet from the
floor. The coffins are alright, the
lids being soldered on instead Of being
fastened with screws. A thick glass
in each coffin allows a view Of the
face, neck and breast.
"Long before this city was incor-
porated Morris Bell was mayor Of the
settlement. He was born In Green
county, and Bellbrook, the summer re-
sort near Xenia, Is named in his honor.
"He was rich and eccentric, and his
dying request was that his remains
should be placed In vault; that up
on Jane Feelings death her remains
were to be placed beside his in the
vault, and that they were to be left
there for 100 years and then both were
to be buried side by side.
Bell died In 1847, and his grand
daughter, aged twelve, a few years
later.

Results of
the Races

The horse races of Wednesday and
Thursday were evenly contested. Every
race was anybody's race to the finish.

of Atlanta; Charles Germaine, Mr.. Gid
dings, and Mac Mckenzie of Traverse

CHALEVOIX COUNTY FAIR
CLOSES GREATEST EVENT
IN IT'S HISTORY
WAS A REMARKABLE SUCCESS FROM EVERY STAND
POINT in PARDON.

Each succeeding year the officers
and directors of the Charlevoix County
Fair Association endeavor to give its
many patrons much better fair than
that of the previous year-for progress
is their watchword. Some years the
step forward has been slight owing to
the many difficulties to overcome, but
This years annual exhibit was an ad-
vancement so far forward that it will
be hard to keep the pace up from year
3year.
Progressiveness was shown this year
in material changes from the main en-
trance clear to the opposite corner OF
the fair grounds where the new Loeb
exhibition barn is reared. And between
these two extreme limits of the grounds
many substantial improvements are
manifest that brought forth words OF
hearty praise from the thousands of
visitors.
Without question the greatest i'm
provement is that of the new addition
to the Educational Hall. Charlevoix
County may well feel proud OF its re-
cord in developing the school educa-
tional exhibits at its County Fair. Go
ing back into history, The Herald well
remembers when the school exhibits OF
the county were cramped up into
small corner of the old fine arts build
ing, with no adequate space for pro-
per display. Then the Charlevoix
County Fair Association became the
pioneers in developing the school edu-
cational exhibits by erecting what was
considered at that time very COM
Siodious structure dedicated to the
Schools of our county. II is matter of
satisfaction that this plan has since
been adopted by many fairs in this and
other states. However as the years
passed it became patent that the
building was inadequate TO care for the
exhibits in this branch. This year the
entire building has been reconstructed
and remodeled making it by far the
finest exhibition building OH the
grounds, and credit to any fair asso-
citation, big or little, in Michigan or any
other state.
There is an old adage that first ap-
pearances have their lasting effect, and
the remodelled entrance-way with new
ticket office gives the approach to the
fair grounds the appearance of SUBJ
stanhal prosperity and progressiveness.
The new entrance and drive-ways Sim
plified the handling of the many autos
and safe-guarded those afoot.
Another OF the substantial improve
ments erected is that of the new Loeb
farm exhibition barn. The Loeb farm
is fast gaining reputation in this part
OF the state for its fine blooded stock,
and the new structure, erected at con
siSefable cost by these people, contain
ed as tine an exhibit OF bleoded stock
as can be found at any fair exhibit In
the state-barring none, 1t is credit
TO the Loeb farm and fine addition tC
the Fair Associations many exhibitioC
buildings.
Many other improvements of lesser
importance are manifest but each anC
all showing progressive steps TOWARD
making our Fair what it is intended tC
be-the best County Fair in this part o
the State.

has gone contrary to natures laws this
season. On some Of the limbs are
pears Of five different sizes, represent
ing that many times that the tree has
put forth blossoms this summer. The
largest pears are IL inches In circum-
