Polh Should Have a Fair

Several counties Of Florida are
perfecting arrangements to hold
county fairs the coming season. says
the Lakeland Telegram. "They are
institutions of great value to their
respective counties and to the state at
large. 1t is a pity that Polk county,
perhaps the richest of all the counties
of the state in resources, will not
have an exposition of this kind. Such
an enterprise should be arranged for
another year." The Telegram very
aptly says that all necessary to get
the matter under way Is to have a
few progressive and enterprising cit
liens take hold Of it and the rest will
be easy. Support from county flnan-
ces would probably be forthcoming,
and to get up magnificent agricul-
tural and horticultural exhibit would
be an agreeable and by no means
difficult task" Polk has wonderful
resources, and certainly should have
an annual county fair.

ways. The Woman's Club in the past

and progress in the community and
the opportunities for it to be helpful
/ ere never so great as at this time.
II Is, therefore, with genuine pleasure
that it's determination is noted to en-
| ter vigorously into the community
life.
Mrs. e. l.. Krause, the president
will return from her stay in the North

the other officers of the organization
are pushing the plans for usefulness
and service upon which she and they
are tremendously agreed.
