WHY THE CHARGE ?
So much has been said concern
ing the entrance charge info the
Corn Show , Farmers' Institute ,
Carnival , and 'Fraternal Picnic to
be held in Minnechaduza Park on
September 6 , 7 , 8 , 9,1911 , that the
committee in charge of the celebra
tion desires to stare its reasons for
advertising such a charge. As a ba = .
sis to reason on the committee does
not feel like inviting the general
public to such a celebration with
out providing for them some form
of amusement. To give them ball
games , smaller sports and other at
tractions. ; to provide for them able
orators to address them on topics
of the dav , agriculture , stock-rais
ing and fraternalism ; to prepare
the park for such gatherings ; and
to let the people know through the
medium of advertising that the
same is to be had ; all demand an
outlay of money. The committee
believes that the average individual
would much rather come and con
tribute bis small portion and get
amusement in return , than to come
without cost and to receive no
amusement. Such gatherings are
first and foremost organized and
attended for ths sole purpose of
supplying amusement and pleasure.
Accordingly the proposition be
fore the committee was'to adequate
ly finance the picnic and carnival.
The lodges participating had limi
ted their donation to an amount
that was insufficient to meet the
expenditures for the reason that
they could not afforJ to give more ,
their funds being short at this time
of the year by reason of their being
assessed the semi-annual per capita
tax. This , however , excepting tbe
Workman lodge which voted ample
funds to pay its pro rata share pro
viding the others could so afford.
The next class to turn to were the
business men but they had already
offered § 250.00 lor prizes to be
awarded at the Corn Sliovv and had ,
with the local lodges , in the past
year invested $1500.00 in providing
a suitable place for such gather
ings ; such as erecting the dancing
and speaking pavilion , clearing away -
way under-brush , planting tame
grasses , enclosing springs with con-
arete , and in general care and
maintenance.
Therefore the one thing remain
ing to enable the committee to fi
nance this celebration and to pro
vide suitable and proper forms of
amusement for the people in at
tendance was to fix a nominal
charge for admission and in that
way to make it the peoples affair ,
as is done at all county fairs , corn
shows and carnivals. la this way
the lodge member who stays at
borne is not assessed for something
that does him no good , for those
that can attend and participate in
the many forms of amusement are
paying the bills. For instance if
it were necessary for the lodges to
iefray the entire expenses and in
so doing to levy extra assessments
on the various members then those
members who could not come would
be paying more money to protect
their insurance in order to provide
a good time for many people who
are not lodge members and might
never be.
The committee realizes that some
may misunderstand its motive in
advertising a charge for the coming
gathering and would gladly accept
any other method to enable it to fi
nance this gathering. However it
is providing the farmers and stock-
raisers with- the best and largest
prizes ever offered in Cherry coun
ty for their produce flnd stock ; it
is securing orators with state-wide
reputations to entertain the people ;
it is furnishing sports of all kind
for amusement ; it is giving you the
finest and cleanest , and most up-to-
date place in Western Nebraska
for your gathering. And in order
to pay its expenses it is asking
adults and children over fifteen
years of age to contribute only
twenty-five cents. This amount
seems so little that we believe that
the great majority of the people
will not complain. Committee.
