Exhibit

The largest display on the ground
was found in the Educational building,
most of which arrived on Saturday.
The systematic arrangement of every
detail reflects the ability of Miss Stew
art as an organizer. Anyone familiar
with such work knows that prepara-
tions for fair exhibit begin in Sept
ember and continue throuhout the
year. Last spring, contests were held
in each of the townships, only the
winning school being allowed to exhib-
IT at the fair. This process of elimina-
ton left only IA rural schools repre-
sented. So large was the display that
if all had responded, more wall space
would have been necessary.
The North room of the building was
occupied by the Boyne City High
school. Their exhibit was not COM
plete but very neatly arranged. Char
levoix's space was the east wing,
while East Jordan staged theirs in the
west wing. The judging of the high
school was some different than last
year, set amount being named and
deductions being made for the omiss-
ion OF any grade or department. This
arrangement made it possible for each
school to receive sufficient money to
defray all expense connected with
bringing the exhibit and for its return.
The highest amount any school might
receive was seventy-five dollars. Sub
tracing the deductions the following
amounts were allowed: East Jordan
$500, Boyne City $1,000, Charlevoix
| $500.
The rural work was divided into one
room, two room and more than two
room schools. OF the one room schools
Deer Lake took the lead. Marion No.
5 second, and North Bay third. Sunny
side took first place and Ironton second
in the two room contest. Mckinley
won over Boyne Falls in the more than
two room contest. II can be said with
out boasting that this exhibit was the
best of its kind in any of the counties
north of Grand Rapids. Some even
dared to call it better than the educa-
tional exhibit at the State Fair. The
resignation of Miss Stewart just before
the fair placed her successor, A. C..
Belding in charge of this department,
and Mrs. Belding acted as his assistant.

Special Attrac-
tons and Music

Each performance of the special
features were watched by an attentive
audience. Tumbling seemed play to
the Steiner Trio. The fat man and the
fattsst man kept the interest of the
crowd through their acts. Their night
performance drew as many as the day.
Every part of Martin and Gennet's
Foolish Ford needed repairs when they
were through with it. Their barrel
stunts were also mirth provokers.
The music furnished by the Kalama-
zoo Orchestra was of the type one likes
to hear. 1t had quality and all the
rest that set perfectly good feet tingl-
ing. The players were not only apt
musicians, but refined and congenial.
No mistake would be made in engag-
ing them for another year.
East Jordan's New Metropole Or
chestra was on the job every afternoon
and helped in supplying the chops" to
the, e,crowd. The county is fortunate in
having so capable bunch of musicians
at their command.
Boyne City's Band furnished the mu-
sic for the special acts and general en-
tertainment of the people. Each num-
Der was well rendered and appreciated.

!, This years Fair will be recorded in
our county's history as one of the most
important of Northern Michigan's Fairs
every branch of which shows planning
and supervision. 1t is no little task to
arrange entertainment for the people
of county and to make them feel
amply repaid for the effort and money
spent. Much credit is due Dwight l..
Wilson and his enthusiastic superin-
tendents for the successful way in
which they have handled every detail,
and given to us five days of recreation,
competition and socialization. Enthu-
siastic remarks are heard on every
corner. Now and then kicker slipped
through the gate. No such bunch ever
gathered without few kickers getting
in, but they would have to be hard
shelled indeed if they could not find
something that satisfied them.
Monday was busy day getting ex-
hibits in place. No admission was
charged. Everyone got ready to start
Tuesday off right. The concessions
were placed, Merry-Go-Round set up,
the Pony-Go-Round staked, etc.
Tuesday the fair was in full swing
with its band, orchestras, ball games
horse races, skin games and red hots.
Every minute of it filled. The eve-
ming found the music just the kind to
liven the spirits and the packed room
showed how it was appreciated
Wednesday saw good many of the
former visitors and friends with them.
Charlevoix made special effort to be
represented on that day.
Thursday was school day. Buses
brought children by the school load
with teachers in charge. Parents
brought boys and girls as an excuse
for coming themselves. So many were
there that every building and passage
way was jammed. Marshals found it
difficult to keep the crowds out of
dangers way.
Friday the big day for the finals Of
both the races and the ball games saw
another rush for first places on the
grand stands. The afternoon was
much better attended than the fore
noon. Those interested in real sports
got their moneys worth.

WORK OF HEALTH
CLINIC APPRECIATED

Many of the mothers of the county
appreciated the opportunity of having
their children tested by the ladies from
the State Board of Health. Some diff
ficulty in arranging for them was en-
countered, but easily overcome. The
people of the community hope to see
them again next year, and to cooper
ate with them in whatever arrange
ments will be necessary. We are un
able to obtain the exact number of
children examined, but know it to
reach the hundred mark. They had
much to say about county nurse,
which we believe in time will be con-
sidered as necessary as the, village
doctor. Here's wishing them pleasant.
