at the fair grounds opened up last
Saturday. The weather has been
very inclement, with heavy rains,
which marred the opening dates.
Nevertheless a good crowd was in
attendance Saturday. No program
was given Sunday or Monday, but
yesterday it was on in full blast. The
day crowd was not so large yester-
day, but last night good big crowd
was out and all speak highly of the
high class shows and free attrac-
tions, and without doubt its going to
be one of the biggest attractions
Decorah has had in years. 1t is put
on under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Legion, and for that reason, if
nothing else, the boys should be given
royal reception. The attractions
are all good, clean, high class, such
as the Wild West Show, Indian Will
age, the Fat Girl, Ter in One Show,
Circus Side Show, The Athletic
Show, Plantation Show, and many
others. Owing to weather conditions,
some of the shows failed to get here
for the opening.
The free attractions are the best
ever shown here and the people were
delighted with them.

makes it its aim to see that every
single case is Adequately provided for.
Hardly less important is the work
undertaken by the Public Health Nur-

ton but to extend the benefit Of their

unheard Of.
Everywhere this service has been
installed there have been demands
from neighboring sections for a nurse.
Soon it must extend to every neigh
borhood of every county or parish in
the South. The Roll Call response
makes this service possible.
And then the nurses from a reserve
army can be assembled Immediately
in CASE of national stress or local
calamity There was no flood, fire or
cyclone in the South during the year
of 1921 that did not find a force Of
Red Cross nurses, properly equipped
and ready for the most arduous ser
vice. on the scene within twelve hours
after the disaster.
Should another war como, these
nurses would form the nucleus of the
same splendid Red Cross organization
that did such noble work in II, 49,
and 10 and by having this nucleus
ready, the army Of nurses would be
practically on a moments
notice.
These are just few of the phases
that the organization is undertaking
in its peace program. The success of
all other activities naturally depend
on the response Of communities to the
