Community Fairs "Go Big” With Steuben County Fftlk. Community interest in better homes, better crops, better livestock and better folks, everything that goes to make up a better neighborhood is being aroused widely in Steuben county through community fairs, eight of which have been held during the last two months or so, covering practically all sections of the county. In every case tlie fair has been centered around the consoliila ted school with the school superintendent helping arouse interest among the patrons to make the fair a “go." The entertainment was of a varied nature, depending on the liking of the superintendent and the local committee which w-orked with him. In some places the school drive was the big feature, in others the Red Cross drive was featured, while in some, County Agent T. A. Parker, one of the starters of the community fair idea in the county, was the principal speaker. At least 3.500 different people attended these community shows, witii practically double this number at all the sessions, some of the places having one-day and some two-day meeting. The exhibits were large ami varied in every instance, some even rivaling the county fair. Many Short Courses Offered at Purdue.
