In speaking on the fair and its veospects, Secretary Sisler said, “We | want to make this fair the best in the history of the county and especi- ally Clo we want to have more town- {ship exhibits entered, and I wish | that all townships who have decided |to enter will confer a favor.by notify- | jing me at once, so we can tell how much space will be needed for this department.
