The Redwillow County Fair
With no unkindly feeling for tho offi
cers of tho society and with naught but
well wishes for Indianola The Tribune
feels impelled to state tho unfortunate
truth as to the character of the exhibi
tion of 1904 It was a failure no credit
to tho county none to Indianola or its
officers This has been the case too
for the last few years The Tribune
does not regard it as wise to attempt to
state tho reasons for these failures But
for tho future they should be better
more nearly up to the name or they
should be abaudoned xs pulled off
this season it was neither entitled to tho
name of county fair nor to the money
drawn from the county treasury
Another year Indianola should herself
put more monoy and effort into the pro
ject an effort should bo made to inter
est the whole county the proposed exhi
bition should bo adequately advertised
and proper arrangements made for
grounds buildings etc or the oxhibi
tion should drop its title as a county
matter should forego its county treasury
assistance and bpcome a local affair In
view of the past few years this would be
but just and right
However The Tribune hopes the les
son of this year will stimulate to more
united effort on the part of tho people of
Indianola that they may go down deep
er into their pockets that the officers
may by tho increased energy and inter
est of the people bo stimulated to greater
moro timely preparations If then the
people fail to respond decline to show
due interest and concern in the fair
these exhibitions should be abandoned
