"V f - ' s rfW r MAY GET IMMEDIATE ACTION FROM FEDERAL EANO BANK ON FARM LOANS WAO. mjr- ucopyu,;;, ,011 P,jR.AUTt:QWTn sm,l IW c in lit r in 1 i i i FAIR 11ER I I BOARDMAN AND IRRIG0N PUT ON BIG SHOW AND SHOW TiiE COUNTRY WBA1 TWO PLUCKY LITTLE PROJECTS CAN liO. Wiii'ti Boardman undertakes a public .festival, barbecue or enter tainment nothing is done by halves and there isn't another town in the Universe Of Similar .sb:c that can ap proach her in big town stuff. The fair held Tuesday sustains her reputation in every way. Te our near neighbor, Inigon, however, is due unst,inled praise and she qertainly did herstdf proud. We have been to eounty fairs, state fairs and world fairs, but for an exhibition from two small pro jects none was comparable except in degree. I id you notice that in nearly every exhibit there was a record-breaker of some kind? There was that sunflower 16 feet in length; a watermelon weighing 52 pounds; alfalfa six feet high; peaches as big as a pint glass jar; corn that va3 perfect and large. And ro on down the line, a wide variety from home-grown peanuts to home-made soap. It was a wonderful show. The echo of wrecking jio booths of the North Morrow county fair is In our ears as we write the chron icle of the very succesful exhibition staged at I'.oardmnn on Tuesday the 13th. Irrlgon and Doardnian wen out in force. The fair was arranged in three sections, Boardmau Hast End and West End and Irrlgon. The first two were In competition and the East End won. All lioardnian was In competition with Irrlgon and Irrlgon won owing to Its very elab orate display of fruits, with which 1 the younger project of lioardnian could not compete. The extent of the exhibit is shown by the fact that over 100 firsts and over 70 seconds were distributed. Cafeteria lunch was served at noon and evening folio.-id i,y dancing and a splendid musical and literary program. "The! committees are tej be especially coin mended fortth'dr untiring work In making the fair a success and they h- HpprceiaMon of all given;, 0 Beers chosen for next yet are C. E. Glasgow, Irrlgon, 'resident; vlce-presldenU, N. Sea man and C. H. Dillsbaugh; 11. 11. Crawfordi secretary-treasurer. It was also practically decided that we . il continue to hold the North Morrow County fair either at Irrl oo or Boardman, alternating every other year ro- us the board may see lit to arrange unless this association could enter into some agreement vlth the Morrow County Fair board and the County Court to bold the regular annual Morrow County fair ( 'the r at Boardman or Irrlgon every third year and the south end assist us In the same manner us the north end did when the fair was at llcpp ner. In this way. only one! fair would bo held each year and all forces joined hands to make that one fair equal to tiny in the state. It has been shown positively that S'orth Morrow eounty can make an exhibit equal to many of the coun ties in the state all by themselves, and bance demand our recognition among exhibition.- ol the state. To laid thai this fair was a complete uccess is writing It most mildly. II could not be Improved upon except that it might have been held three, days instead of one to permit outsiders to visit It.
