due to the able leadership on the part
of various board members of the West

Luke proved his ability along fair lines
and his efforts together with those of
R. S. Ihlenfeldt, principal of the Will

setts went far toward making the fair
the success that it was.
The able leadership of c. Dyson, J..

decidedly in systematically arranging
the grounds, while Supt. VIM. Voss of
the hog department, Supt. John Van
Liers of the poultry department and
Supt. Lewis Rhodes of the cattle de-
partment carried out their end of the
work in such way that due justice
md most excellent service was received
Jy the exhibitors and as a result, salts
faction was found on every hand.
Before finishing the work Of the fair,
a round table discussion took place in
which the board members together with
the various people interested in the
fair pledged to do their Bit in making
the fair of 1922 bigger and better than
the one just held. 1t was decided to
hold the fair two days and two nights
next year with all exercises on the
grounds rather than evening exercises
at the hall.
Columns could be devoted to the won
derful dinner the women of the four
townships Randall, Wheatland, Salem
and Brighton-s to the hundreds
that surged around the dining tent. All
said it was the best ever and the un-
stinted generosity of those who donated
food, time and work, cannot be COM
mended too highly, and it was only an
other example of the perfect co-opera
ton of the four townships.
Large crowds attended the two dan
