II. a. PendletOn is in receipt Of a.
letterifrom our good old friend, Jack
Mahohey Of Leroy, Mimi, which we
were lucky enough to get hold Of, and
while r. a. wasn't looking we man
aged to read some Of the facts which
convinced US that we were right when
we told Jack that he wouldn't stay
inoaths sssea ht leAs Roy Does
Jack think Roy is the only place on
earth worth while? Well, wait till he
comes back and ask him. Yes, he
has enough of Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin, and after about two weeks visit
in the latter state Jack will place his
family in his Essex and turn the
steering wheel straight for Roy. AS
soon as he arrives here he will imme-
diately begin the construction Of 2
beautiful home in Roy and live here
forever coptented. Jack says it has
not done a thing but rain since they
arrived there, and he wouldn't 1--we
there permanently if they would pay
him salary to live up there. Speak
ing about prices at Roy, he says we
should be thankful that we have such
good merchants, for they have Mime
sofa, skinned a dozen ways, and that
every commodity is much
at Roy than in the Northwest.
Really we are all glad that he is COM
ing back so soon, for there is no
family who has lived on this mesa
that was held in higher esteem than
the Mahoney family, But really,
won't Elmer Neil and Hal Warner
have the laugh on Jack?

ROY AND MosQUERo
BOTH GET WALLOPED

A large crowd witnessed the
double-header ball game at Roy Sun
day afternoon and watched Mosquero
go down to defeat before Roy, and
then, well, Mills simply wiped Roy
from the earth The game started
off at 2.3O with Mosquero after Roy's
scalp, and she came near bagging it,,
90, when she crossed the home plate
for five scores in the third. But Roy
got busy right now, changed pitch
ers, and put Dock in the box, and
tightened up and managed to clean up
ten scores to Mosquero's eight when
the game was called in the seventh
Mosquero played good ball, and TIN
game was a good clean one with no
wrangling and no umpire disputes,
although each side chalked up several
errors which accounted for the large
number Of scores. Clifford Thomas
of the Mosquero team drove long
one out into the left field and came
near breaking out a window Of tn
Gibson residence two blocks south O.
the diamond, When the left fielder
found the bali Clifford was around
the diamond ard resting on the home
bench.
was agreed that the winners
were to play the Mills team, and after
a few minutes rest the Roy-Mills
game started. Mills was in her best
form and came down after Roy's goat;
and when the first inning was over
we were convinced that she was 60
ing to capture it, too Mills made s
runs in the first half and kept on
chalking UP till she had eleven to her
credit, and the best that Roy could do
was to get two men home. The game
was called in the fifth inning on ac-
count Of darkness, and no doubt the
Roy boys were glad that darkness was
coming on However, we will add
that the Roy boys had played in the
previous game with Mosquero and
were tired and worn out when they
started to playing with Mills, and af-
ter repeated errors Roy was soon
aware she was in no condition to play
Mills. Anyway, il was fairly good
game and enjoyed by the largs crowd
from Mills, SOlano, ATosalero ard

MILLION TO MEET
AT STATE EXHIBIT
MICHIGAN NOW HAS LARGEST
FAIR IN UNITED STATES
DATES SET ARE SEP.
TEMPER 3-12.
PROFITS 60 BACK INTO
CONTINUOUS BETTERMENI

An attendance OF a million Is pre-
dicted for the Michigan State Fair at
Detroit, Sept. TO IL, this fall.
This estimate is based both on the
public interest which has been shown
In the fair 70 far this year, and on
natural incre ease which may be expect
ed over last years showing.
When the last person passed
through the turnstile at the 1919 show,
the Michigan Fair had taken rank as
the largest-attended institution OF its
kind In the United States. Every ef-
fort is promised by G. w. Dickinson.
Secretary Manager. TO make this
years exhibition once again the ma
tons standard.
"Michigans state fair" says Mr..
Dickinson, has become the greatest
institution in the commonwealth for
bringing its people together No other
activity fostered by the state brings
any where near so many OF its citizens
together on common terms.
Tn one way. it is the states great
est educational institution. The char
acter OF fairs has changed greatly In
the last few years. No one who at
tends a real fair nowadays can come
away without having been mentally
broadened and instructed The city
man sees the vast agricultural resourc-
es OF Michigan; the farmer sees the
cities manufactured products which
have given this state so advanced &
position In the Industrial world"
Dvery satisfactory feature OF kicni
gan's fairs In the past will be retained
this year. and many new ones will be
added. Greatly increased gate receipts
have made the fair profitable In late
years, and under the state law, every
cent of profit mus 60 back into the
permanent property and the annual ex-
hlbition.
Mr.. Dickinson's policy has been tc
Gut on a better and better fair as the
receipts warranted And every time
he has spent more money 10 put on
a better fair, the public has insisted on
attending It in such crowds that profits
automatically increase. Then the an.
nusl circle Is begun OF blowing these
receipts back into q better fair and q
better show. is3sr,.'-s-.

EXHIBITORS MUST HURRY
TO GET INTO STATE FAIR

Exhibitors who plan on entering the
contests at the Michigan State Fair, at

TO hurry

nounces that he is all sold out in GER
tain lines. Others are filling up fast.
Mr.. Dickinson is loath to close out any
certain space without having hear
from desirable exhibitors OF previous
years but the pressure for space Ia
growing.
