FOURTEEN MORE DAYS


The fact that we have now but four
teen days to await the opening of the
Wayne County Free Fair in Glen Mil
Ter park does not mean that we have
all the work to do in so short a time,
but simply to complete the program
already mapped out, much of which
already has been accomplished. A lib
eral supply of premium lists and of ad-
vertising matter calculated to incite
enthusiasm has been printed and wide
| ly circulated. In some instances calls
have been made for additional lists and
other printed matter by those interest
ed in pushing the good work along.
The county agents Office has been
supplied with entry blanks, premium
lists, etc, for the convenience of the
many who are in the habit of calling
there. Mr.. Dolan always travels load
ed. You will find fair literature in
his car wherever you may happen to
meet him in his travels on the way to
meetings, cuttings, or what not
We have been reminded of the fact
that although the premium list fails
to mention awards to be made in the
SOW and litter class, awards will be
made. This class is to be made up of
1921 pig club members, of which there
are II who kept and bred their gifts
and now have the sows with their lit
tiers to display at the show. Four OF
the best sows and filters are sure to
be shown and there will be four prizes
to be awarded, regardless of the mum
Der of contestants.

Dolan, and wife and l took supper al
Sheffield, H., that evening. Sheffield
is Mrs. Dolan's home town. you know,
said he, but you may not know that
it lies west of Chicago, and is 375 miles
northwest of Richmond" We admit
ted right there and then that his new
roadster was some speedster. Mr.. Do
Ian says he thinks that Mclean county
Illinois, will gather the largest croI
of corn in its history despite the
J drouth lasting for some weeks. 1t is
, his belief that Mclean is the banner
corn county, not only in Illinois, bu1
! in the country. He says that much Hi
nois corn along his route has been bad
: lily fired and that Indiana corn along
/ his routes, both going and coming, /:
: in much the best condition. The corr
belt is in for great crop, in spite o
all drawbacks" said Mr.. Dolan, wht
arrived back in Richmond on last Sun
day evening.
