It look a greut deal of hard
work on the part of a great many
people. Those who hud a part In

numerous to name individually,
hut we would like to take this
means of saying "THANY YOU"
to each and everyone who gave so
generously of their time, their ef-
forts aud their assistance in vari-
ous ami sundry ways. Without
your help the job could no have
been done.
Also, we are grateful to the peo

We now have our eyes turned to-
ward our next year's fair with the
Arm conviction that with such in-
