COUNTY FAIR
Is FAVORED
Perfect Weather Doing It's Part
To Make Exposition a
Success
SPLENDID EXHIBITS
AND LARGE CROWDS
Many Attractions In the Way of Base,
ball, Horse Racing, Classy Free
Acts Keep People Interested

With three days OF the county ldlI
gone, and the weather man in ca
boots with the exposition management,
the 1922 fair bids well to exceed in
nearly every vital feature any pre-
vious event of the kind in Rusk
county.
The week opened cool and rainy and
Monday was threatening a contlnu-
ance of moist conditions and the fair
management felt that they did the
wise thing in taking out rain insur-
ance, which was true but Tuesday the
first day of the fair, opened perfectly
and has so continued, not too warm
and not too cool-just right.
The exposition shows superior ex-
hibits in nearly all lines and it has
been favored with large attendance.
The two conditions made successful
fair. Those who have worked hard
to make the fair a creditable one de-
serve. the commendatiOn of the pa
irons and the public Tomorrow, if
the weather continuesf favorable, will
probably be the biggest day Of the
fair in point of attendance.
Along the Pike
The pike" is lined with the usual
concessions, though there are two
or three new features. The merry-go-
round and the Ferris wheel furnish
the young with thrills and the usual
number of games in which there is
the element of chance appeal to the
young sports. The kewpie dolls ap-
pear to maintain their popularity and
are given as prizes in a number OF
places. The swarthy fortune tellers
and palmists are there to tell your flu
ture and the present state OF your
finances. Enough energy is being eX-
pending on the striking machine to
complete Big Falls dam in short or
der if it were properly directed. one
brawny blacksmith swung the maui
165 times without ringing the bell,
and the little consumptive-looking
feller who weighs about 135 pounds
comes along and rings the bell the first
lick. It's a good deal in knowing how.
One big fellow rang the bell using but
one hand. He runs the county farm.
An unusual number of unfortunates
were constantly soliciting aims, though
two or three blind men do offer some
thing in the way of canned music for
what they receive, and an auburn
haired girl with a sweet appealing

receives.
