The Home Demonstration Agent
Says There Must Be Many EX-

home demonstration agent, in the last

cess of the celebration.
"Just four more days until the Gar
rett county fair is on. Have you de-
cided on your one or more exhibits .?
should say this plan for Fair week
is as important to you now as those
glorious Christmas holidays that we
count on our fingers in December.
"Other contributors to The Republi-
can before me have mentioned the
many phases of the County Fair to
you. Each year the Fair should grow
better and I think this year will be a
great success over last year.
81 draw my conclusion from the
interest people show as l talk to them.
The only way to make the Fair
amount to anything is to have some
thing to look at. This is up to every
Garrett countian Then, take time to
observe what has been exhibited.
"If your comment is that you have
something at home just as good or a
lot better, that is your loss. You
should have made an exhibit. At an
agricultural fair you will enjoy com
petitive as we'll as educational eXhi-
bits. Every item will be worth your
attention and interest as someone has
made an effort to display them for
you, no matter how large or how
small the exhibit.
81 urge every homemaker in Gar
rett county to feel it her duty to make
at least one entry in the women's de-
partments. Your cooperation will
make the fair interesting.
"Second. l urge you to attend the

ance at the Fair that get together at

statistics show that the fairs OF
the middle and far west grow bigger
and better each year and why not
That's their slogan and they live W
to it. 1t is my sincere good wish
that the Garrett county fair will be
bigger and better than ever"
