FAIR ASSOCIATION BUYS
DR.. REDFEARN PROPERTY

The Chesterfield County Fair AS
sociation has just completed the deal
whereby thirty-onc acres of addition
al land is added to it's holdings on
West Main Street.
Realizing at last years exhibition
that more land and more buildings
would be necessary to meet the re-
quirements of this growing institu-
ton, negotiations were set on foot
which eliminated in the purchasing
of the DR.. A. Nj. Redfearn holding 3,
which comprise the 31-acrc tract ad-
joining the Fair Grounds on the
West.
The consideration was $4,000 This
amounts to about $16O an acre, a
most reasonable price and figure
that DR.. Redfcarn made largely on
account of his interest in Chesterfield
County and the fair. This new pur-
chase gives the Association, with it's
present holdings about forty-two
acres.
80 large tract is not necessary
for the use of the Association as ex-
hibition grounds and it is more than
likely that a part Of it will be sold
for building purposes, this location
being very desirable for suburban
homes. There is also a probability
that the present fair grounds may be
offered for sale, and, in the event Of
being sold, the new property would
be converted into new fair grounds.

NEW LEAGUE ATTACK

Another investigation" of the Non
partisan league is being started by the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, according to surface indica-
tions here. Application for enough
copies of the constitution and plan of
operation of the farmers organization
to supply a large committee has been
filed.
During the war a similar enterprise
was undertaken by one of the offshoots
of the chamber, but it was so quickly
noised abroad in the West that the "in-
vestigation" had little effect. Indeed,
nobody seems to remember that re-
port was ever made. However, now
that the League has stubbornly refus-
ed to die when it was pronounced dead
by all the most cocksure journals OF
Wall street, the Minneapolis Chamber
of Commerce crowd is evidently going
to get achievements from national
headquarters.

CAMPAIGN is DEAD

"The deadest political campaign in
history" is the general verdict in the
national capital upon the presidential
contest which is supposed to be in
progress throughout the country.
In point of fact, the fight is not
causing a perceptible ripple on the
surface of the hot-weather calm in the
East. Nobody is losing moments
time from vacations or swimming or
the movies to assist in making Hard
ing's political lines more secure. The
political writer's who were employed to
whip up interest in the. campaign grew
weary at the Chicago convention and
grey cynical at San Francisco, and
now they refuse to make any enthusi-
astic demonstration of any sort.
Begins to look as though the pub
licity side of this campaign would be
hopeless tiZzle.
