While our Yankton Fair U in
.progress thh week it brings to
mind the fact that Columbia
County is one of nine counties in
the Rtate which docs not ' receive
money from tho State Treasury
for county fair purposes. An ex
amination of tho laws of this
state reveals tho fact that 23
counties in thn slate are rtcciy
lug from tho general fund of the
State in round numbers $20,000
for fairs, ranging in amounts for
each county from $500 to $2000

state and we cet

passed a bill providing for a
county fair for Columbia County
carrying with it an appropriation
of $7o0 per year which bid was
promptly vetoed by tho Governor
on the grounds of economy. Mire

counties which already have fairs
