coeniSe the fact that they have a
personal responsibility for the sue
coss Of this Fair and to contribute
something, if no more than handker-
chief or . jar of fruit.

lCjR2CULTURAL. FAIR Is
FARMERS SHOW WINDOW

The purposes of the Agricultural
Fair are numerous, but the chief one,
% Tar as the farmer and storkman
~ concerned, is business. Or, in
other WUf6B, the Fair il the SHOW
window" through which they can. e1-
hibit their products, or expose their
'tWares," 30 as to attract buyers.
Another important consideration Is
that the Fair stimulates better pro-
duction Of the products of the farm
through Q healthy and friendly rivalry
between producers. A man may rave
at home what he considers an unbeat:
able product, either some farm crop
or animal, but when he shows 1t IN
competition ut the Fair, he finds some
one else has q similar product just q
liftle superior; the result being that
he goes home full Of determination to
Improve his product 80 as to excel
that Of his previous competitor the
following year: and in this way
<eneral Improvement Of the farm pro-
6ucts In q section, Parish or the
STATE, 3 gradually brought about.
Once the Fair has been established,
<d,d the superiority OF the exhlblts mas
reached . maximum, buyers OF the
0uDt pf00uCI8 are oSsIdCSSo w ~! w
esuse hey know they can depend up.
ON gettinx what they want, II not at
the Fair itself, at least in the COM
munity which supplies the exhibits.
n other words, the Fair creates q
s market for the producers who ex-
+ hibit their products, and especially Il
these are Of superior quality; and
once this condition Is established, It Is
likely TO be permanent.
AZ the excellence of the exhibits
increase, 90 does the attractiveness Of
The Fair; and much wider interest be-
3 comes manifested in it, as people be-
come more educated to the i'm
poFtance Of such Institutions to the
community,, or the State. Besides the
interest grows ~ competition becomes
closer and keener among exhibitors
The Fair, in reality, one Of the
kreatest community builders, as ha,
I, been found in all parts Of the world
where it has become q permanent
institution.

feature Of the Fair, it being q place

. PREVAILING FASHIONS

There are two topics Of converse
ton that are always IN season-the
weather and woman's dress. TWO
that have been criticised and found
fault with more than any. otheR or
possibly all others combined-andl
men above all others are the chief
sinners. =
Ever since we can remember women
and girls have been criticised TOT
what they wore, or what they dion
wear. When they wore long skirts
the men said they were unsanitary-
that skirts should be short. When they
wore them short the men all ovei
the country ''threw a fit" When they
wore the skirts tight the men preach
ed against it; and when they cut
slit in the skirt the same men were
shocked. Probabl, never since womei
commenced to wear clothes, and ina
dates back to the time of Eye, hav'
they been free from the string o.
criticism.
We believe both men and womel
should wear clothes that are comfort
able, healthful, convenient and I ea
sonably attractive. The prevalhnl
STYLES for both men and women ar
now more nearly meeting these re
auirements than those OF any sine
