BIGGER PREMIUMS FOR FAIR.
South Dakota Offers More In Every
Exhibit DEPARTMENT,

Premium lists for the South Dakota
State fair to be held in Huron the
week beginning Sept. Z are being sent
out by Secretary McIlvaine.
Gov. John A. Johnson of Minnesota
will deliver the address on the open
ing day of the fair, Sept. Z, for which
special arrangements have been made
for the entertainment of a large
crowd.
Increased premiums in every de-
partment are noticeable. All commit
tees are busily engaged in the prepar-
alton of the event, and 1t is safe to
predict that in every department the
exhibits will exceed that of former
years, while special attractions for
the amusement of the crowds will be
of the best.
Several counties already have signi-
fed their intention of bringing coun.
ty exhibits. Among the latest to ask
for space is Belle Fourche. A large
exhibit of products from that section
of the state is made. The counties al
ready listed for space are Brown,
Beadle, Sphinx. Clark, Kingsbury,
C~odington, Hand, Hyde, Stanley,
Hughes and Miner. Those on the
list for exhibits, but to whom space
has not been assigned, are Minneha-
ha, Turner, Jerauld, Clay and Brook
ings. The state agricultural college
at Brookings will have it's exhibits in
a tent entirely separate from the 9TH
er exhibits.
The live stock department will show
an increased number of entries and
exhibitors will be present from every
part of the Northwest. The :agricul-
tural department. which is under the
SUPPLEMENTARY of II. G.. Warren of
Forestburg already gives all the as
surance of being the greatest and
most varied of any exhibit seen in
this section of the country.
The speed program, of more than
ordinary interest, is being arranged.
II is under direction Of Hugh Smith of
Howard, who is using every effort to
make that department of the fair one
of exceptional interest. The premi-
ums in this department have been
largely increased and are sufficient to
bring to the fair some of the best
known speed horses in the country.

Dakota completed the first twenty.
five years of its history. The institu-

without degrees, in music and art.
This coming commencement forty-five

men and women to this new state can
not be properly estimated. In addi-
ton to this important contribution to
the commonwealth and to the world.

the university upon these lives is an
invaluable asset of the institution.
