always looked forward to this
event as a great one and believe
this school fair has done much

interested in the school fair.

on earth. It is time they are
finding it out. Everbody wants
to boost his home paper for a
prosperous home paper is the
very best advertisement any
city or county ever had. Be
cause it i known to all that only
a loyal progressive, bust ing
people can have a prosperous
home paper.—La von ia Times.
