concerned about the continued
drought, as some claim their crop
of corn is cut fifty per cent, also
late potatoes may be scarce, unless
rain comes very soon.
Many of our residents visited the
annual State Fair at Harrington
last week. The exhibits were we'll
worth seeing and no doubt were ed
ucatiOnal to many farmers. The
horse and auto races were thrilling,
also the cowboys, as they rode the
wild ponies and western oxen. Uncle
Josh with his educated mules, pos
sessed with a lot of stubbornness
causing a lot of fun and excitement
to the crowds of people.

pleasure?
