Greene County Fair Had Big Attendance The 90th annual county fair was probably the outstanding agricultural exhibit in the history o f the institu­ tion. The attendance is said to be the largest in history. The feature of the fair was the race program which attracted many horses from some of the best stables in the country, The races were interesting throughout the event, particularly the stake races which have been featured for two years. A new feature that attracted hun-‘ dreds of people was the team pulling contest which was divided in two classes. One for teams weighing 3,000 pounds and for those under this Weight. Mule teams as well as horse teams were eligible. First prize o f $25 went to G. H. Dailey, Xenia, in the 3000 pound class, Second prize $20 to Kenneth Luce, Springfield. Third prize $15 to Burton Turner, Cedarville. There was only three entries in this class!. In the class under 3000 pounds the first prize went to Harold. Middleton, Xenia, who won $25, Second, $20 to Edwin Chenowith, New Burlington. Third prize to George Stackhouse, Jamestown, who received $15, Fourth prize to Altie Roberts, which was $10. A dynometev owned by the State University was used to measure ,and test the pulling power of the teams. The exhibits this year o f the Four-H Clubs was the largest and most in­ teresting since the introduction o f this work. Four hundred and fifteen boys and girls in the county had a part in the'exhibit. This number represented thirty-two clubs in the county. Ten beef calves, including Angus, Herford and Shorthorn were exhibited. Everrett Bailey, Yellow Springs,, won first prizes of $10 each on the three breeds. Raymond Edwards, Xenia, the blue ribbon for his grand cham­ pion. In the dairy devisio,. there were 21 exhibits. Lueile Alexander received first of $10 on two-year old oraey, Charley Thomas first of $10 on ersey heifer. Frank Smith $10 on Jersey Calf. Laurence Beam, $10 on Guern­ sey heifer. Ernest Beam, $10 on Jer­ sey heifer. Mary Esther Andrew $10 on Guernsey calf. Frank Wolf $10 on Holstein cow. Robert Wolf $10 on ions, which 1s 25,000 more than the amount required by the insurance people. Thjte gives the village oppor­ tunity to grow without having to in­ crease water capacity storage to meet insurance requirements. The mains on Main street will likely be laid under the side walks rather than disturb the paved brick street. By so dojng it will save the street and give property owners a shorter ser­ vice line. Council has yet to fix the number-of fire plugs and the location t>ut this must be done in conformity with the insurance requirements. Engineer Wight stated Monday night that he was under the im­ pression that he,-could have everything ready for receiving the bids and let­ ting the contract for council’s approval by the last o f September and that most all of the work could be com* pleted this winter, depending largely on weather conditions. Solicitor Smith will have as co- council Attorney J. A. Finney, solicitor in Xenia, who handled the legal work in Yellow Springs and Fairfield. As ■ there is much to be done on this it will take. both attorneys to prepare the legal forms and ordinances in the re­ quired time. Council also had. under discussion the question of annexation of new territory which is desired by- a num­ ber of families, that want the service o f the new water system. Council adjourned, until Tuesday evening when the first legislation will ■ be passed fo r the new system, the attorneys agreeing to have it ready by that time. : Council chamber was filled to over­ flowing at the Monday meeting by in­ terested property owners.
