 Fair of Great Benefit
 It seems that the day of the County Fair has passed and that the special Community Fair has taken it's place The County Fair failed as a financial proposition. The initial cost of the grounds, buildings and the annual cost of up keep were too great. The Com munity Fair can be held at small ex~ pense. No permanent buildings and prepared grounds are necessary.
 Visitors from other counties and towns were surprised at the quality of the exhibits which would have done credit to a State Fair
 The beneficial effects of the Jones Community Fair can hardly be over- estimated. It is a gala s3cial occas- ion for the reunion of families and friends. It has it's educational value for speakers were present who spoke along special lines of club work. im- proved methods of farming and the ad- vantages of farmers organization Splendid instrumental and vocal music was had.

Such a fair is one of the most potent factors in arousing the farmers to raise better live stock, to grow better grade of agricultural pro- ducts with higher yield per acre. and in general to elevate rural life in its social, educational and economic as- poets.

 Why not every community in this county have a fair? It pays.
