GLARE COUNTY STATE
FAIR EXHIBIT.
Committee Ask for the Cooperation of Our Farmers.
Dr. L. L. Kelley of Farweil and
A. M. Howard of Grandon
Have work in Charge.
The time is aji hand when Olare
pounty shonld gather such products as
are to be exhibited at the State Fair
at Pontiac September 12-16. That
this matter is worthy of the cooperation of all our people is shown in bhe
following report, submit ted by Dr. L-.
L. Kelley of Farwell who* had charge
of the exhibit last year,, to the board
of supervisors at Harrison October
12th, 1903:
"Having bsen instructed by the former board to attempt an exhibit at
the S'ate Fair for 1903 and not realizing how arduous such, duties wou"d be,
I endeavored to collect samples of our
couniy products, and succeeded in
having in the department assigned to
me of placing 98 different specimens,
which would have been a credit to any
county with four times the years of
our development.
"I am cer ain that it needs a
►, thorough organized corps of workers
to make this exhibit what it should
be; with an invitation extended to all
who'desire an individual exhibit, and
a request that a 1 extend a helping
hand tb the general county exhibit,
aided by a deputy from each township.
Several o.her counties have advanced
ideas of the method employed, .and
ship in car.lots, and advertise the advantages of their respective districts.
"I would advise this course as beneficial. The exhibit is a revelation to
most people who attend the fair and
who still believe this county a waste
of sand tliat is unproductive on account of the pine forest so abundantly
distributed here formerly, and this
opinion can best be annihilated by an
actual show of its products. I thirfk
the time is coming when Clare county
wl'l hold a very advanced station, especially in fruit, and an eqjual in stock,
grain arid vegetables, with the older
counties of the state. "***•
"I believe that there should be two
persons designated to attend the fair
instead of one, as the task is far too
tedious and arduous for one to do justice to its duties.
"Receiving the third premium is
certainly an incentive to do better in
the future and endeavor to,capture
the first, and thus aid in extending
the advantages of this section. Your
delegate for this year desires to render
any assistance in his power and to extend any advice which has been
learned by his attendance at the fair.
"Wishing success in the development of the territory in which I have
for. so many years been a resident.
"My expenses were $22.63, and receiving my premium of $20.00, leaves
the bill of expense to the county of
$2 63. •
"All of which is respectfully submitted."
Believing in the wisdom of making
an exhibit at the state „fair so as to
show the people of the southern count-
ties the resources of Olare county the
following resolution was adopted by
the board of supervisors:
"Resolved, That this board proceed to the appointment of two persons to supervise the collection- of
fruits, vegetables, grains or anything
that may deem of interest or that they
may feel will assist in showing to the
people of the state, what is being
done in this county in developing the
agricultural interests. That such collection shall be taken by the persons
so appointed to the next state fair and
that they represent Our county in the'
exhibition thereof and that as compensation, -the persons so appointed
be allowed their actua and necessary
expenses in securing such exhibits and
the handling thereof and their railroad and hotel expenses while Mn attendance at such fair, and;
Be it further resolved. That the
persons so appointed be authorized to
have pamphlets printed showing the
natural advantages possessed by Olare
county arid what is being done in the
way of farming, fruit growing, etc.,
and that they distribute said pamphlets among the visitors at said fair;
also that they be empowered to charter a car for the transportation of
Olare county exhibits to and from the
state fair and that they allow any resident of Clare county the privelage of
shipping his exhibit ia said car, he to
The committee appointed, Dr. L. L.
Kelley of Farwell and A. M. Howard
of Winterfleld, are planning for a
more systematic exhibit of Olare
county grains, fruits and vegetables
at the state fair than was that of last
year. The wisdom of having our farmers give individual aid to* this mai-
ter need not be urged. But for the
sake of uniformity in flcilitating the
work of the committee the following
definite things are asked:
HOW CAN YOTJ HELP THE EXHIBIT?
l'. Fruits for the exhibit should be
in lots of Ave or more.
2. Grains and vegetables should be
in peck lots.
3. Those having contributions for
the exhibit should notify by card or
otherwise Dr. L. L.. Kelley, Farwell,
Mich., or A. M. Howard, Grandon,
Mich., who will see to the collecting
of the same.
4. The committee should be notified at least as early as September 6th
and all contributions'for the exhibit
should be ready,for collection September 8th.
5. Supervisors ahd others are asked
to push this matter in their respective
townships.

More people are coming to appreciate the benefit they may derive
from the want column in a local
paper. No matter what you, have to
sell, the more people who want an article the better price you get. Farmers will 'do well to remember that
the Sknti-stel -reaches over 300 homes
on the rural routes alone going out of
Clare. If you have seed, stock, farm
implements, or anything to' sell, a
two. three or four liner at ten, fifteen
or twenty cents per week will do the
business. You may have seen a two
liner advertising a ladies' bicycle in
last week's issue. The wheel was sold
yesterday morniDg for cash, and it
might have remained in.the attic ten
years more had it not been for the
printes' ink. Try a liner ami await
results. We are sure you wilt be convinced.   Five cents a line per week.
We started  to   see   the   chemical
works, and on our way back passed a
large cement st ructure.   1 asked what
is it, and Mrs. Perkins said that is'
what we saw so much about ln the
papers last year,   but  nothing this
year.   She said That is a monument
to the memory of The Mt.. Pleasant
Sugar Co.    Well, said 1, that looks as
much like a monument as anything I
can think of, but what are they going
To do with it.   O, said Mrs.  Perkins,
that depends.   We hear all manner of
stories.   First;w.e heard it had been
sold and was going to be converted
into a brewery.  . Than we heard, it
was going to be converted into.a depot
and power house for Colonel Boyntoa's
electric rati road.   Well, said I, where
docs the road come from and where
does It.go to.   0; s'ild Mrs. Perkins,
it comes from Dushville and-goes to
the Halfway.   The. last story is' that,
ohe new Democratic Publishing company have bought it and. are going to
convert It into an ideal printing office.
