The Ford County Fair and driving

the Fourth of July this year.
AT a meeting of the board of directors

an interesting program for that date,
The fair directors, like the wheat fields,
have caught the "rain'' enthusiasm and
from now on arrangements will be push
ed for the big full meeting.
The directors find since the resOling
Of the race track and the good work done
upon It by the recent rains that they have
the best and fastest balf-mlIe track In
Kansas, This opinion is held not only
by the association but by the hOrsemen
as well.
The plentiful rain fall makes crop
prospects bright and the chance for agrl.

changed in a few weeks from bad to very
good.
A committee was appointed Monday
night to make full investigation of the
general fair proposition. The board of
directors will hold another meeting on
May u at the time Of the State Horti.
cultural meeting here to confer with the

that all Of them will come up with the

pay bis stock will be sold to some one

The association has started in upon a
