LOOK AT THESE
PRICES
week or so ago the directors got to
gether to discuss the future of the fair,
it plain tliat this was not due to the fun and the concensus of opinion favored
that any of the officers or members of I turning over its management to some of
tho directory were unpatriotic, butr"fhat
they believed it wao time for some new
blood to be i l ist tiled
The continued inclement weather dur-
ing the last fair materially held down
the attendance, and then the fair ex-
tended over a shorter period than in
former years, which eliminated the hope
of recuperating much of the loss bus
tained, as the expenses went on day after
day Following as It did the Btate Fair
In Dallas, another handicap was saddled
upon the local show There was no critl
Clam made of the management, rather of
the dates during which the fair was held
The animal election for officers of
the association during the current year
Was scheduled for December. The stock-
lioldeis apparently v»ere listless, for nut
a liUO'iUi of the stock was cast in per
