 T am often asked. Do you never tire? We'll, no. I never tire when I can reach the human heart and have 1t give out the kindly service as Is given me by the busy world with which I come in contact. You know everywhere there are rugged ways. but these are easily overcome when you are lifted above the obstacles by friends working with you for the accomplishment of worth while things.
 T sometimes think, when I see folk wandering through the hall. looking here and there, they do not have the proper appreciation of the real purpose of the fair, for they do not realize just how much effort has been put into the exhibit and how long 1t has taken us to accom- plish our work.
