men of the country the third week in
September, or to be more precise, from
September IL to Is, inclusive, on the
occasion of the second annual Colorado
Interstate Fair and Exposition, to be
held at the famous exposition grounds
OF Overland Park. The Denver dates
do not conflict with any other large
western exposition, in fact, Denver be-
longs to the leading association of state
fairs and expositions, and it's dates fol-
low those of Minneapolis, Iowa, Ne
braska, and preclude those of the Spo-
kane Interstate Fair and the Alaska
Pacific Yukon show. The amusement
privileges at the Colorado Exposition
are in the hands of w. C. Brown, who
for number Of years has had charge
of similar concessions at the Iowa State
Fair at Des MONIES. Mr.. Brown will
come to Denver early in September af-
ter completing his duties at Des Moines

with the transportation, are in the ca
pable hands Of Kenneth L. Bernard of

his long connection with the Pains Py-

You may be quite busy on your farm
and feel that you cannot spare the time
to attend the farmer institute at Hax-
tun, but you will make mistake if you
fail to go. The prospects are good for
the best farmers institute ever held in
the county and you cannot afford to
miss it. You may have come to the
conclusion that your attendance would
result in nothing more than increasing
the number present and giving en-
couragement to the work, but if so,
you are mistaken. No farmer attends
one of these institutes without benefit
to himself that amply repays him for
the time spent.
The state herald., 1909-08-27

Preparations are being made to secure
a good attendance from our town and
vicinity at the farmers institute to be
held at Haxtun on Friday and Saturday
Sept, 3 and A. This is as it should be.
If the people wish to boost the county
they should boost every move that has
for its object the best interests Of the
county. A farmers institute handled
as they have been handled in this
county cannot result otherwise than in
great good to the county and the good
work should receive all Of the encourage
ment possible.
