FAIR GROUNDS
ALMOST READY
Ball Grounds and Race Track
In Good Condition

I visited the fair grounds the first
of the week and was agreeably sur
prised to nete the improvements made
during the past few weeks, Ball
grounds and race track are nearly
finished About all they require now
is a smoothing and the rolling of
tae ground. The lumber for the fence
is on the ground and work has start
ed On the 80 by 100 feet exhibit
hall. This hall is to be one story
nigh and Is built in a position and
shape lha, it can nave an addition
30 by 30 added to it when necessary.
The lumber for the grand stand,
WHICH Is tc be located 10 overlook
the bali grounds as we'll as the
track IS Oh hand ready to so 10
/ Lynden Is going to have one of the
best and most complete fair grounds
in the state Of Washington.
Can they do It?
Nooksack proposes to have a better
display of farm products than Lyn-
den. at the coming county fair, 20
be held il Lyndea. What do you
think about it? Think they tan 10
it? The Nooksack Reporter says
Presume you noticed in last weeks
Reporter that the dates of the Lyn-
den fair had been changed TO October
1s. 20 and 2l They have put dp
$500 in cash prizes and We understand
the MONEY is there for the winners,
, when they want it The unlocked
: for rain delayed the completion +
the buildings hut they are going some
E over there and are putting up sohe
t nice buildings. Two months az
a We saw this tract and it was simply
: piece of logged-an land The rri-
i hume man says it Will be one Of the
.. finest county fair grounds III tae
Al state.
/. I'VE have heard of several who are
le thinking OF making an exhibit Yer
81 there We should like to see fifty
te entries from Nooksack. These Lyn-
40 den farmers think they have the Only
a,tt So, .N~.~r sess ~sfer rese'er $.
nal fact We have a more productive sol
10 than they, acre for acre or TOWNSHIP
hit for township. Now it will require ,
al little bother but any thing that
~ worth while REQUIRES bother. Let s
~ not let Lynden get all the advertise
., ing this fair viii afford. Woudn t
- I speak pretty well for Us if Nook
j., sack and Eyerson could 20 over there
-. and take down a good string Of blue
ribhins? 1t certainly would. And,
&. lis not far over there Back IN Ohio
20 miles was not considered so far
70 take exhibits II the county i1ir.
Il should NOT be here. Entries viii
not close this ye3r until right close
up To the o9ariue dat, SO lets get
busy and take our exhibits over there
and line them up alongside the best
they have there 1t will be an edu-
cation. If they have something better
than we have. We should know II.
If We can beat them therell be sat
~ isfaction in that thot Lett show
II them what We can do in the Nook
sack country.
