1922 FAIR TO
Be BEST EVER
Homer Palmer. President Of County
Association, Sees Excellent
Year Ahead.

"All Indications are that the coun-
fy fair this year will be a world
beafer in every sense OF the word =
Thus spoke Homer Palmer OF
Hillsdale. president OF the Rock Is

in Moline yesterday.
We had a meeting in Hillsdale a
short time ago." said Mr.. Palmer,
and at that time we began to get
the superintendent of the various
departments at work on their re-
spective jobs"
One thing which leads Mr.. Palm
er to believe that this years fair
will surpass all others held here
tofore, is that the farmers, in his
opinion, have an excellent year
ahead of them. And il the farmers
enjoy a year of prosperity their
success will be reflected in every
other line of business
Prices in practically all lines
have touched bottom" he said, and
now the climb back to normal is
due. 1t is a good thing. for, if con
ditions had gotten much worse, all
of us would have been more than
seriously crippled financially.
With agricultural activities un-
der way the country will have a
good start on the road back 10
