Do We Want a Fair
On account of tho activity and inter
est shown by the business men about
tho first of tiio year in tho way of try
ing to promote different interests that
would bo of benefit to McCook and to
tho surrounding country it looked as
though something might bo accom
plished by tho united effort nnd goneral
interest takon in a number of enter
prises that it seemed possible to secure
This meeting resulted in calling a
number of meetings to discuss the dif
ferent projects an organization was es
tablished and everyone seemed willing
to become a member and pay a member
ship fee Tho organization was com
pleted by electing ollicers nnd com
mittees wore appointed to look after tho
different enterprises that were desirable
and which wore thought within our
reach It is probable that on account
of tho meetings hold sugar beet growing
is better understood and that there has
been more interest taken among tho
people along that line and whilo there
is an increase of acreage secured for this
year yet tho interest taken and the
number of acres that will bo put out to
sugar beets are not so encouraging as
tho returns from sugar beet culture
warrant It seems our people both tho
businessmen and the farmers are rather
slow to take hold of this matter but there
has certainly been something accom
plished by the industrial organization
In the matter of tho fair at McCook it
seemed every one was in favor of form
ing an organization and holding a fair
this fall No ono seemed to doubt that
it would be a success Every ono
seemed to think it would be a benefit to
the stock men to tho town to this part
of tho state in general and that it would
bo practically self supporting In dis
cussing tho enterprise there were vari
ous opinions as to how funds should be
raised to back it and to insure success
Some thought thoy should be sub
scribed by the people of McCook only
while others thought a great deal of the
money could be raised by stockmen and
those interested i n agriculture all
through tho southwest part of the state
Others thought that each precinct in
the county shoud raise a certain amount
of money in support of the fair and
various other methods were offered
The one thing that we all agreed upon
was that wo ought to have a fair and
that it should be a success
At the first meetings of tho Southwest
Nebraska Industrial association there
was a great deal of enthusiasm shown
on account of bill introduced in the
legislature establishing junior normal
schools sessions to be hold during tho
summer and naming McCook as one of
the points where a school should be
established Our people seemed to see
tho benefits that would be derived from
this institution of learning and were
hertily in favor of it This bill passed
the house of representatives but so far
nothing seems to have been done for it
in the senate and it may lie there sleep
ing until the legislature adjourns
The public auditorium enterprise has
frequently aroused a deaLof enthusiasm
among our citizens and there are a great
many disparaging remarks made because
we have no better place for public enter
tainments
Tho public library has been a source
of great satisfaction on account of its
benefits and popularity but probably
not as much effective work is being done
as should be toward enlarging it and
making it permanent
As stated above all of these enter
prises are desirable and would be of
great benefit and judging from the
general talk are within our reach Yet
when it comes to getting down to work
to secure them and backing up our talk
with money to support them there
develops a disinterestedness that makes
a soliciting committee tired We are
all ready to say It is a good thing
push it along and then stand back or
go about our own business hoping some
body else will push it In fact we are
willing to raise the wind power to
put these enterprises on their feet but
we are not so ambitious when it comes
to raise the money power to run them
Tho increase in the beet acreage is
sufficient to encourage us to believe that
something has been accomplished by
tho meetings held and the interest
shown and that we can hope for better
results in the future
As to holding a district fair at Mc
Cook tho financial support and the
active work must be furnished by the
McCook people To insure a success it
seems necessary that there should be a
fairly large capital behind the under
taking This should be raised in such
away that whoever the officers may bo
they will feel certain that they have the
money where they can get it to make
it to make good any promise they make
We can not and ought not to expect

Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia but the truth is exactly the
opposite Indigestion causes catarrh Re
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach thus caus

THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE
people outside to guarantee capital to
run a fair at McCook Their support in
tho way of bringing things for exhibi
tion and their attendance during the
fair is all that should bo expected and
all that wo need to make tho fair a suc
cess A soliciting committee will meot
very few people while soliciting funds
who doubt tho success of a fair at
McCook backed up by McCook capital
and the energy that some of our folks
would give tho management To the
writer it seems that if we want a fair
here this is tho way to got it
A ten weeks junior normal school
held at MdCook during the summer
under tho supervision of the state supt
with an appropriation by the state for
defraying tho expense of educators
would be worth in the way of advance
ment in education and in the reputation
of our town to say nothing about any
commercial benefits ten times what the
cost of doing a little work in the way of
gotting the law passed establishing such
a school would be to its citizens If we
by negligence allow tnis bill to tail we
are only reaping what wo have sown or
in this case what we have reglected to
sow and wo do not deserve any school
While some money was raised and a
considerable amount pledged some two
years ago for building an auditorium
and while everybody more intensely
feels the need of a building of this kind
at the present time no very effective
measures are being taken to procure the
building In the effort that is being
made to secure a Carnegie library build
ing a good many hope to be able to have
a building put up in such a way that
part of it may be used for an audi
torium yet it is doubtful whether a
sutncient eliort will be made to secure
this from Mr Carnejne Like the dis
trict fair the library and auditorium
will take money and to secure them we
must expect to have to put up the most
of the money ourselves We might get
Mr Carnegie to put up the building for
the library but it would take money
right along to support it and this we
would have to furnish If we could
secure a building so that we could have
a part of it to use for a hall it would
take a considerable amount of money to
furnish it which would have to be
raised by our citizens
After the first two or three meetings
of the Southwest Nebraska Industrial
association the most of the business
men who are members seemed to lose
their interest and from present indica
tions we can hardly expect to get very
much benefit from its organization
Too many of the members are busy with
their own affairs and will likely not
take time to do much work for this
association or attend the meetings but
will hope that some one else will do so
In the opinion of the writer the most
of these undertakings spoken of above
are within the reach of the people here
but they will not come either by them
selves or by idly wishing for them If
we expect the town to do anything for
us it will be necessary for us to do some
thing for the town By just attending
to our own businesses will not be suffi
cient to secure these different enter
prises but if we would take enough of
our time and money to get them located
we would receive benefits to the extent
of more than what they would cost us
in the increase of our own different lines
of business
On account of McCook being larger
than tho surrounding towns and in fact
the largest town in this territory people
feel that this advantage is sufficient to
bring things to us and we are liable to
carry this to the extent of allowing op
portunities to pass us by and other
smaller and less important towns secure
them Almost all of us can remember of
places where we have lived or been ac
quainted where results have been just
as stated above It will hardly pay for
us to rely on the advantages McCook
has believing they will be sufficient to
secure these different enterprises that
we are anxious to have here for wo may
bo sadly disappointed in the end To
some extent we are unfortunate in hav
ing so many lines of business repre
sented here the majority of the capital
in which is owned by non residents
People owning business here but living
away do not have the interest of the
town at heart as much as they would if
this was their home as well as their
place of business However these peo
ple are among the most enterprising of
McCook and it is not to the credit of all
of us to say that some living here and who
have made their money here are not so
liberal as some who have done well here
in a business way but who are not
residents
To procure any of the above enter
prises it is going to be necessary to lay
aside personal interests and especially
any prejudices and jealousies and
unitedly work not only giving our time
but being ready for the benefit of the
place in which we live to be willing to
put up some of the money that the place
we live in has been the means of our
making A Barnett Pres
