202 TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART III 



Whereas: The continuance of this department depends entirely upon 

 the degree of co-operation extended it by state, district and county fairs 

 in the future; therefore, 



Be It Resolved. That the Iowa Fair Managers Association endorse the 

 work done by this department and urge all fairs to co-operate with it in 

 making it of still greater value to the fairs and expositions of America. 



There appears to be a lack of publicity in connection with the fairs of 

 Iowa and especially the harness races, and that the results of races are 

 not generally published in the Iowa papers, or recognized by the Press 

 Association; therefore. 



Be It Resolved, That it be the sense of this meeting that a publicity 

 bureau be established in connection with this organization, whose duty it 

 will be to see that all news in connection with fairs, especially the fur- 

 nishing of race summaries, be furnished the leading Iowa dailies and the 

 Press Association, and that such committee be chosen in the same manner 

 as the district managers. 



Resolved, That the Iowa Fair Managers Association go on record as 

 opposed to the expenditure of the funds obtained from county and district 

 fairs as membership dues for elaborate entertainment at annual meetings. 

 It is the belief of the members that the purpose of the organization is to 

 further the interests of the agriculture and live stock interests of our 

 state.
