CHILDRENS DAY
AT THE FAIR
THE SUCCESS OF. LAST YEAR TO
BE REPEATED.
YOUNG PEOPLES NOTICE
THE TIME AND PLACE THAT YOU
WANT TO REMEMBER.

OH MoHuty TIE GOtu udy VI oeptcii-
Der will occur that most popular of
days in the history of the boys and
girls of Brookings county. 1t is the
day when the management of the
county fair admit all the public school
children Of the county free to the best
county fair in the whole Northwest.
The plans for this year are along the
same lines as those of the last exhibit
ton and the amusements, contests and
sights offered are worthy of your re-
memberance and presence. Those
who were there last year can remem-
Der the spelling match and the ex-
element and anxiety that filled their
breasts until the final fellow vas spell
led down. Then there will be other
contests, free exhibition of dazzling
special acts by the free shows and
last, and not least, all the other things
that go to make up the sights at this
most popular and healthy farmers play
ground.
The officers Of the fair were gratified
with the great number of school chill
dren who avaied themselves of the
free admissions last year. But this
year they want to see, as near as
possible, every boy and girl Of school
age on the grounds and enjoying the
fun and frolic that goes with these
annual outings. Remember also, that
there is much to be learned from
such a visit and all during your COM
ing school year you will find that
things you saw and heard will be of
value to you in your school work.
Come out and help make this fair
a bigger one than ever before.
There are many other features OF
the fair that we could talk about for
any length of time. Among others,
the fact that there will be more room
for things this year. A big tent will
be erected to house the agricultural
exhibits and so give more room to
display the big things that the farm
ers of this county and vicinity raise.
The tent pole will be high enough to
accommodate any corn that will be
brought in, so don't feel backward
about bringing in the tallest stalk
YOU have. There will also be space
for those mammoth cabbages, large
potatoes and the numerous other
things that our fertile soil produces.
The poultry building will be used
this year exclusively for that depart
ment and all of the fanciers in the
county are getting ready to compete.
prizes offered by the poultry journals,
the food manufacturers and the spec
ialty men, So if you have chick
that is big, is small, of odd shape,
unusual attainments, or unwonted
precocity, bring him in for there GER
tainly must be some kind of n reward
offered in the long list that they have
in the premium list.
Then of course, the great women's
department of fancy work, pantry
stores and other things that women
are noted for, will be the great show
place Of the grounds, for we all know
that the ladies attract the most atten-
ton and their handiwork calls for the
highest admiration
Then the usual races and sports will
fill in all the time that any one can
spend on the grounds between sun
rise and bed time. And if any one
comes to this, the best county fair
in the whole Northwest and does not
get their moneys worth and their fill
Of pleasure and good time, it will
be because they are dyspeptically in
clined and are looking at life through
blue glasses.

and see things that will do you good
and drive away dull care.
