70 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART II. 



Member: If I buy my ticket I won't be president, I'll tell the 

 world that. I spend three months getting ready and I am not going 

 to pay to get in. The president is furnishing his time for nothing 

 during two or three weeks or for a month, or maybe twelve months, 

 and then if he has got to pay his fare into the fair I will say that man 

 is crazy, that is all there is to that. 



President Estel : Let's have a show of hands as to how many fairs 

 represented here give free admission to stockholders. Five furnish 

 stockholders free admission. 



Mr. Cooper: Our fair association is organized under the state 

 laws and we have eighty stockholders. We give the stockholders 

 tickets into the fair, they buy shares for $100 and they have put in 

 that much money and they never get anything out of that money 

 outside of admission at the outside gate, and I am like this man 

 here, if I didn't put up these tickets I would have to move from town. 

 I refer to a season ticket that admits the man and his family, his 

 children under eighteen years of age. 



President Estel: We are now adjourned.
