FAIRS MUST CUT
COST THIS YEAR
Especial Correspondence

Kewanee, May THAT the fairs
of Illinois will be obliged to cur
tail expenses considerably this year
if they will make both ends meet,
seems to be the general opinion of
fair officials who have looked into
the future. Theodore Boltenstern
Of Cambridge, veteran fair man,
vice president of the Illinois State
Agricultural Fairs association and
president of the Central Illinois
Trotting and Pacing association, is
authority for the statement that the
fairs of this state will find it more
difficult to meet expenses this year
than last year. He gives as his
chief reason the fact that the state
appropriation will this year be con-
siderably lessened.
