swamped with stands, and more ami
mails entered than ever before, officers

cared today that the 1922 La Sale

the history of the organization. The
fair gates will be opened to the public
on Tuesday morning, September II, at

Many Animals.

that the live stock exhibition was to
be unusually large. Between 450 and
500 hogs, 100 cattle and 200 sheep are
expected in the pens by the time the
big show opens.
Merry. Round up.
Today some ten or twelve conces-
sion stands have already been erected
on the fair grounds, and the merry
go-round and ferris wheel were just
waiting for the signal to get away.
Concessions, concessions everywhere,

Grover. Lack of space is serious
handicap for the committee.
