The Pulaskian., 1920-10-21

what he got, but they themselves paid for all they ate. The boys and girls ran the cold drink and ice cream stand and they, too, were faithful to their duty. All the re- ceipts from both stands went to swell the receipts of the fair asso. citation and were probably the prin- cipal source of income.
 Community First Prize to Ironton.
 So busy was Sweet Home with the erection of her building and getting ready for the fair that she had no time to get up an exhibit sufficiently good to atke first prize, so Ironton won 1t and she we'll deserved 1t. Fri day evening the blue ribbon for it was pinned to the coat Iaple of their leader Mir. W. D. Perry, who wore it proudly until the close of the fair and boasted of 1t to all corners. Iron ton is a community lying beyond Sweet Home community and extend ing to the Saline county line. It is enabled 10 cooperate unanimously in all Pulaski county community un- dertakings, because all take the Pu- laskian and keep fully posted on com munity matters. As soon as she be- gan decorating her booths with col ored paper and artistically painted signs, 'Ironton," and 'Ironton School" Sweet Home said Ironton is going after the community prize of S3O, and she was, and she got it. The community exhibit was separat- ed by a window from the school 6xT1DTT and DeneaTn and adIoInIng the window was the individual farm exhibit of J. w. Griffin of Ironton. Early Saturday morning in trucks and cars arrived the boys and girls of the Ironton school with almost the entire population of the com munity, and their enthusiasm equal led if 1t did not surpass that of Sweet Home. There was friendly rivalry between the two communities, but not the least sign of enmity or jealousy. From their enthusiasm you would have thought that it was Ironton's fair, and it was hers, with Sweet Home and the other communi- ties.
 Unanimously Enthusiastic.
 All through the fair everybody was enthusiastic and this district has set an example in cooperation that the remainder of the county should follow. The yelling and cheering of the Sweet Home boys and girls would be hard to surpass anywhere in Arkansas.
 GoU. Brough Dedicates the Building.
 The first thing on the program was the dedication of the building by Gov. C. H. Brough at p. m. Thursday. The exercises were open ed with music by the Miller Overall Factory's brass band. Then there was prayer by Rev. Harrison of Lit tie Rock, after which Gov. Brough was introduced by President Pye of the fair association. Gov. Brough made an able address which was lis tened to very carefully. He compli- mented the people on their enthusi- asm and cooperation and stated that the building had cost $2,000, but could not be bought for $5,000, meaning by that that it only cost the people of Sweet Home $2,000 to erect the building, but had the peo- pie of Little Rock have built 1t by contract it would have cost $5,000. The reason Sweet Home got such a bargain in it was because they did their own hauling and work free. The timber was cut in the woods and hauled to the mill and then the lum- Der and other material was hauled to the building site practically by teaming and trucking donated by the citizens.
 Sweet Home tue Example.
 The governor stated that these are troubulous and threatening times for the farmer, who has made crop on high priced supplies for which he is offered less than the cost of produc- ton. He advises the farmer to sit steady in the boat and not to fly to the unknown dangers of Bolsheyism and Iawlessness, for even in this emergency he will enforce the law, but to wait and organize. He wants the Federal Reserve law remedied so that money can be borrowed un- der it by the farmer to enable him to hold his crops until he can get a reasonable price for them, and he wants the farmers of every commun- ..J b,rsl I community
