be held the week of September 20, at
Woodland Park, Riverside, which has
been called the most beautiful natural
fair grounds in the United States.
The officers and directors Of the In
terstate Live Stock Fair Association
are men of high standing in the bust
less world, and it is because Of the
association Of men of such character
In this enterprise that they have been
able to make Of 1t the largest and best
independent fair in the country.
The week Of September 20 is the
week following the South Dakota state
fair at Huron, S. D. BY changing its
dates so as not to conflict with the
South Dakota state fair, the Inter-
state Association made a move. the
popularity Of which can hardly be es-
timated. For instance, the South Da-
kota newspapers, SO long as the Inter
state Fair Association persisted in
cunginG to the dates which rightly be-
longed to the South Dakota fair, were
either actually a~ntagonistic OF at least
~unfriendly. This year, with the Inter-
state people doing the right thing, the
press Of South Dakota IS more than
generous in it's attitude towards the
big fair at Woodland. They are SIM
ply glad that the Interstate Live Stock
Fair Association realized that 1t was
In the wrong and got in the right path.
They are boosting the Interstate fair,
and, while Loyalty urging their citizens
