nation well why don't you say
something" He meekly replied,
There is nothing more to be said"
This is about the position we find
ourselves in when we attempt to
write an editorial boosting the Nor
gan county fair. The efficient secre-
tary, through this paper, has "said
all there is to be said" about the
fair, and has said it mighty well
too. However, we are going to say
a few words just the same. With the
closing of the entries we learn that
more cattle, more sheep and more
hogs are entered this year than ever
before. 1t has been necessary to
find room outside of the regular
barns for about 20 head of cattle.
The new building for hogs is filled,
as are also the sheep barns. En-
tries are well up-and better than
the average in all the other depart
ments. The grounds have been put
in fine shape, and with the large ad-
dition which will be used to park
autos, visitors won't have to spend
half their time lodging cars. Many
features have been. added for the
comfort and convenience OF the big
crowds There are three or four
rest rooms located about the
grounds; benches everywhere; var
ious comfort stations; pure running
water, etc, etc. So with the large
addition to the grounds; the many
new buildings, and the conveniences

biggest and best fair ever" We
believe that it is useless for us to
urge our people to attend. Nothing
but bad weather, we predict, will
keep the fair next week from having
the biggest attendance in its history
of 60 years. All indications point to
such
While many family reunions have
been held throughout the county,
also Sunday school picnics, and 9TH
er gatherings, all very good and
commendable, still there are none
of these things that can take the
place of the good, old, ever popular
annual county fair, which is en-
joyed by all ages and conditions of
men, women and children. It is one
big, grand, annual picnic, family re-
union, and home coming, all COM
bined, besides the other features for
which it was primarily established

choicest products of the farm.
