Fair Is q Success.

The Community fair is over and for
the 18th time, it was a success. The
farm exhibits were lacking but aside
from that one item, the fair was a
dandy. The display in the ladies' de-
partment was as good as the best.
This was judged by Mrs. A. w. Con-
away of Askov, and she has been COM
plimented on the job. H. G. Hoffman
was there with his display of curios
and he attracted lot of attention.
His explanations of the articles kept
him busy most of the afternoon. The
forestry and blister rust display were
also very attractive.
The afternoon did not have a dull
minute. The dance at night drew a
fine crowd, but because of car trouble
the orchestra was two hours late and
a number of couples left before they
came. From a financial standpoint
the fair is believed to have been a
success. 1t is impossible to give &C
curate figures until all bills are in
and paid, but the present indications
are that there was some gain. The
committee is much encouraged to go
on again next year.
A word of thanks is due the many
who helped at the fair. A number of
men and women put in much work,
some working all day and most of the
night, and working hard. 1t is al
ways source of pride the way help
comes at the fair. 1t would be i'm
possible to hire people to work as
hard as some of the folks work. 1t
could not be done; yet they will dig
into it and work for the fair for moth
ing. Yes, even assume the kicks that
sometimes come to them for what
they did. 1t is a wonderful spirit of
cooperation and one the community
can we'll be proud of.
