New Car Gets Attention
Poultry. Scads of chickens, roost-
crs, ducks, geese, guinea hens, pig
cons, rabbits, harcs and guinea pigs.
We accept the correction that the
three latter are not poultry, but they
are in the poultry exhibit. The
ducks have their private swimming
rond as usual, and they enjoy it.
Visitors also enjoy watching them
splash around in it, though it seemed

exercise.

salesman who tried TO tell us about
them today gave up in disgust in the

able to hold our own.
No attempt is being made here to

snappy entertainment program un-
der the direction of Fred Nehel-
IAau, who will have something novel

to offer each night at the fair. On"

Harry Niven was also at the fair.
We have to take the word of several
pcop,e for it. Being the secretary,
he must have been there, but re
moved so fast getting things whip

we're never able to catch up with

Traffic to and from the fair rs

motorist who tries to go where he

he should go. There is plenty or
parking space in the vicinity Of the
fair and the dust has been laid low.

attend it, and attending it, fail to
be proud of it and the men and wom-
