Exhibit rules set for county fair prizes and exams
The notice outlines that exhibits must use ten ears tied by busks and be submitted between January 10 and 16. It states all coin entered belongs to the Algona Commercial Association and no entrant can win more than one prize. It then shifts to a critique of county supervisor pay in Iowa, arguing current rates of about $4 per diem in session and $2.60 for committee work are inadequate, suggesting higher pay is not the solution as the best public service is not bought, and urging pay changes come from supervisors and the people, not politicians.
