MADE MONEY FOR FIRST TIME IN
HISTORY OF THE ASSN.
MUCH CREDIT DUE BISHOP
Hustling Secretary Devised Plans
10 Interest And Bring People
From All OF The County

The Iron county Fair had a surplus
left after paying expenses this time.
It's the first time in the history OF the
Fair that such has been the case.
This result is due to several influences
but mainly TO the mastery manage
ment Of George f. Bishop, who was
made secretary OF the association al
the meeting held last winter, and who
has given freely and fully of his time
in an endeavor to make the 1920 Fair
record breaker.
Pageant Brought Big Attendance
The pagenat, mention OF which was
made last week, was the principal
drawing card 1t was drawing card
because II interested so many people
from so many different sections of
the county. People went to the Fair
TO see their children or their neigh
bors perform. IL was mastery
stroke in the attraction line and was
well managed from start to finish.
In our hasty review of the pageant
last week we omitted making special
mention OF some OF the performances
and performers One very excellent
performance was that by the young
ladies OF Maple Grove under the dir
ection OF Mrs. Fritz Moberg. Their
work brought out especial comment
and IL showed that they had been well
directed. Crystal Falls was proud OF
such fine lot Of young ladies as Mrs.
Moberg marshalled on the pageant
field
The folk dances OF the quarrette OF
Tyroleans from Caspian was, perhaps,
the most attractive OF any OF the dan
ces for the reason that the perform
ers were exceptionally graceful and
we'll cultivated in the dances that they |
depicted.
The Finnish dancers showed a great
deal OF training and culture in the
work they depicted also, one OF the
most graceful being Mrs. liver Mach
whose dancing was the subject OF
much comment. The Swedish took
we'll as did the Slayish and other cen
trail European peoples, the costumes
adding very much to the affair.
The dances depicted by the child
rem losa much OF the real merit at
tached for the reason that the child
ren were in contrast with grownups
whose performance rather overshad-
owed that OF the little folks.
Weather Prime Factor
OF course, one must take into con-
sideration the weather man. for he
rem lost much OF the real merit at
pay. The weather couldn't have been
better had II been made TO order. The
excellent weather allowed the page
ant 10 be staged and the base ball
game 10 be played TO record crowds
1t is said that the income on Thurs
day was about 1850 and on Friday
500.
And, when one is talking about the
met with one must not ov-
erlook the Mckinney Steel Band. Ev-
cry one from Crystal Falls was proud
Of those band boys and particularly OF
their leader. Mr.. Greenfield, who work
has done so much to make the band {
what Il II. The boys played all day J
long and played well. their selections
holding the attention OF the large aud ,
ence on pageant day, when the delay !
In getting started would otherwise l
ire the people so uncomfortably seat
ID upon the side hill.
Must Not Overlook Exhibits
But. the Fair wasn't all pageant and I
base ball. There was a whole lot OF 7
merit to the exhibits. One I
gentleman who has attended every Z
Fair held in Cloverland to that date, I
old us that the Iron County Fair ex- I
seeded In the merit OF its exhibits 9
he Chippewa, Menominee. Delta and a
,ther Fairs that he had attended; In q
act he said that to his way Of view

best Fair in the peninsula. 4
