KEL|GH'S PLANS ARE BIG
MIDSUMMER JUBILEE, RACE
MEET AND BALL TOURNAMENT.
WHY NEIGH GETS STAR ACTS
Want Norfolk and O'Neill in Base Ball
Tournament - Neigh Connections
Induce Several Star Troupes to Sign
for Midsummer Festival.

Neigh, Neb., July 30.-From a staff
correspondent: Neigh has had some
mighty fine race meets and midsum-
mer festivals during the last four or
five years. But none, they say, to
equal that which is being planned at
the present time, and which comes
August 25, 26 and 81. The name has
been changed. THE Neigh Mid
summer Jubilee, Race Meet and Base
Ball Tournament" is the new name.
It's long name, all right, all right,
but Neigh will back it up when the
time comes.
For instance, the Remedies, sensa-
tional bicycle riders, have already
been secured. The star actor used to
live in Neigh, and that's how he
happened to sign up. He rides a
wheel down an incline and then, turn
ing a complete somersault in the air,
lights right side up with care and I'M

a mighty sensational act.

NJ. B. Kaufman will probably act
