Fair Support

Fair Support
time for the housewife the gardener the farmer
and the stock breeder to exhibits Tor the Red
- wood County fair.
The premium book recently issued should prove
especially Turing to exhibitors who appreciate the
value of few dollars earned in this way more this
year than in prosperous times.
The board is generous in its establishing of a
prize scale and deserves credit for maintaining this
scale as it has wherever possible In many cases the
premiums exceed the value of the product exhibited
Worth commentator also is the boards action in
reducing admission prices While it is doubtful if the
crowd will be doubled normal years because OF
the measure the cut will make it possible for fam
ies to enjoy entertainment and educational advant
ages of the fair "free" fair has occasionally been
proposed but such fairs must be supported by appro
priations more generous than available here.
By this time next month the fair, which this year
as scheduled for August 49, &c. 81 and September t. will
he Whether not it is successful does not de-
pend upon the board Success depends upon the CO.
operation received from rural and town people of Red
wood and adjoining counties.
The board is doing it's part. 1t is making savings
where savings possible without detracting from the
program It will go far is feasible in advertis
ng the event and do it's best to satisfy the patrons at
Eracted.
Already Redwood Falls men have volunteered to
provide police and ticket takers to relieve the fair
board of this expense The Paxton Farmers club which
staged highly successful Fourth of July celebration
at the grounds has offered to furnish police in appre
citation for of the grounds for which it also paid
This cooperative spirit leads to the prediction
shat the event will be in spite of conditions
1t is evidence that people of the county want fair and
not expecting the board to do all the work
=sary to provide one.
Futile Buck Passing
TITO anyone not obsessed with spirit of partisan
ship it would seem that the two major parties
engaging in shadow boxing and buck passing with
respect to the nations distressing economic plight.
1t doesn't help the out of employment for
the Republicans to blame the Democrats or for the
Democrats to blame the Republicans The truth is that
both parties want to prosperity restored and if
either had sure-fre formula whereby such happy
outcome could be assured there would be no delay in
urging its adoption.
But may well admit that such formula
in sight just The greatest economists and
called business experts unable to show the way
out of the present depression, although many power
full factors laborng sincerely that end and may
accidentally have hit upon solution.
Unfortunately while we in the midst of a ma
tonal campaign too much attention is given to party
xpediency and too little to practical for the
1elief of a sorely burdened people.
Advocating that America must not collect it's war
oans because the payment will cripple trade is
parable to garage man giving in the
hope he'll buy horn for it.
1t has been costly lesson but America must have
to help carry is invested in the known
way
headline says "Both parties claim credit for re-
lief accomplishments" Then something has been &C.
-complished?
