that an additional forty acres has been
| purchased by the fair commissioners,

use this largely for added buildings and
ponderous exhibits, and decided upon
an elaborate system of wire fencing for
the new acreage. To fill the require

was obliged to have special machines
built and installed, and the product is
simply superb. A considerable portion
of this added tract will be set aside
for the use of campers. Families and
parties coming by automobile or other
private conveyance to attend the fair,
will have the privilege of camping in
side the new enclosure, where they will
have fire and police protection, water
and all the comforts. This will enable
those who so desire. to spend the week
most comfortably at the fair.
