The committee felt justified in making the raise. Indeed, the need of the raise was imperative. The committee has on its hands a great task. It must produce a good show-and pay expenses. It is easy enough to arrange for a good show-it is not so easy to pay expenses. Past experience has demonstrated that only certain sized crowds may be expected to attend. Weather conditions must be favorable to get even such crowds. It takes good financiering, even when the attendance is largest. To "make both ends meet." Let a bad day come, and there is a loss. The result is that the Fair Company is in debt. The committee keeps a book open to public inspection showing receipts and expenditures. How can this dept be wiped out? The Fair must at least "play even"; otherwise it means no Fair. The man who "Kicks" kicks himself. A few are spending their time for the good of the many. Let the many help the few by the donation. If you wish to call it that. Of the insignificant sum of ten cents to one man, but significant as a whole to the success and future of the Fair.

In another article:
Some are complaining that the entrance into the Fair has been raised to 35 cents. The Fair Committee make this raise for the sole reason of providing means to run the Fair. The receipts so far have been insufficient to pay expenses. If the Fair is to continue, money enough must be raised to pay expenses. When you realize that you surely will cheerfully contribute a dime more.

SCHOOL HOUSE-THREATENED BY FIRE
The old school house caught fire about ten o'clock Monday morning. It had been arranged that school be started there and the children had assembled. Mr. Dave Richmond who was passing along noticed that the roof of the north room occupied by Mrs. Hood and the smaller children was on fire, and gave the alarm. The children were soon out of the building, and the bucket brigade was at work. Practically all of Bedford was present. The fire was on the outside of the roof, and with the abundance of water on hand the fire was quickly extinguished. The damage was light. The cause was probably burning soot or paper falling on the shingles, fire having been started in the room below.
