Everybody seems to realize that We are 60
ing to have a monster exhibition this year.
Every body wants to exhibit something and
we are literally working night and day
either at the Office or On the grounds. We
have re-arrarged the stalls and pens for
live stock this year, 70 that we can accom-
modsto all persons wishing TO exhibit We
will insure all good stalls and pens, with
plenty of hay and straw, and we will make
the exhibitor feel at home. We know that
this Fair is located in the center Of three
States, and is one OF the best Fairs to ad-
vertise live stock, agricultural machinery
and everything that is used by the people.
"How about the attendance? Why
we are better advertised this year than at
any previous Fair. Oar hangers ara every
