Few who know the history of
Richmond during the past ten
years will accept the above fig
ures as representing the true pop
ulation of Richmond, and like
other cities which have felt that
they were beig incorrectly repre-
sented by the 1920 census, plans
are already taking shape for a re-
count.
Mayor L. P. Evans said Satur-
day morning that he would coop
crate in any way toward having
a census taken by the city, and
other prominent business men
who feel that Richmond has over
5000 population within her boun-
daries, say that they will do their
part.
AS an evidence that quite a
number were omitted from the
census returns from Richmond
Mr.. NJ. J. McSween, of the Rich
mond Welch Company, said Sat
urday morning that eight people
connected with his firm, had not
been listed by the census takers
of Richmond, so far as he can as
certain.
Then again hundreds o5 new
homes have been built III Rich
mond within the past ten years.
And yet there is not house for
rent in town today and not al

STATE FAIR IN AUGUST
Early Dates Given State Fair
VIII Mean Much Hard
ships to Counties Exhibit
ing From North Part of the
State.

Why the state fair for Wiscon-
sin has been scheduled for Aug
ust 30th to September 4th inclu-
sive, is beyond the imaginative
powers of the people i'll the north
half of the state of Wisconsin.
State fair this year from the
thirtieth of August to September
4th inclusive" is what c. p. Nor
cord, commissioner of agricul-
ture at Madison has wired the
Villas County News, in response
to a message from this paper
asking why it was made for such
an early date.
The north half of the state of
Wisconsin has for several years
past been placing before the
state fair visitor the best exhib-
its shown anvwhere-in fact has
carried off the bulk of the prem
iums, and is winning for herself
honors that cannot be duplicat-
ed. The fair at Milwaukee has
been advancing to earlier dates
almost every year, and when
this has been done, it became ap-
parent to the northern counties
that to exhibit all the products
called for by the state fair assoc
iation in order to win county
sweepstake honors, was an i'm
possibility. Harvesting of the
various crops, especially pota-
toes. had not begun in the north
ern half of the potato belt, the
crop not being ripe enough to ex-
hibit. This meant a curtailment
not only Of spuds, but of grains
as well. No threshing had been
done, and without the grain ex-
hibit, the exhibiting county fell
down again over the southern
county.
The understanding has always
been that the state fair was held
for her people within the boun-
diaries of the state, regardless of
who they were, or from what
section they came from. The de-
velopment of the state at large,
to be shown at this fair, has
been worked for by the agricul-
tural board of the state, assisted
by her multitude of county
agents, her land companies,
newspapers and the people in
general. Each section therefore
should have the same showing.
They should be given the same
incentive to boost her resources
with her neighbor. One should
not be given the advantage over
the other. Like treatment to all.
If the setting of the dates of
the 1920 state fair to August
3Oth, is fair for every county in
the northern half Of the state,
then we want to be shown by
those who set the dates at so
early a period that it makes it
an impossibility for any of us to
exhibit with a full complement
of products such as is demanded
by the state fair board, and
