ANNOUNCE DATE OF FAIR SOON,
Board Of Directors Holds Meeting and
Makes the preliminary Plans.

Fargo, Feb. 9.-The board of dice
tors of the Fargo State Fair assona
ton have held the annual meeting and
have elected the following officers, who
will have the management of the fair.

G. o. Smith, William H. Doyle, C. A
Wheelock, Morton Page, William Moul
ton and the officers elected above.
The date Of the coming fair was dis.
cussed and the announcement will be
made in the near future. j!
Real estate dealers and land men oi
the city are very much interested in
the coming state fair and, at a meeslnq
held recently passed a resolution in
which they asked that the big exposi.
tion, which will be held in Fargo, this
year, take place in September rather
than in July, as has been the, custom
here tofore.
They take the position that the far
mers are in no position in July to fur.
nish an exhibit such as they could and
would like to make in September. and
that the very idea Of the Legislature
when it granted and appropriated mon.
ey to assist the state fair was that the
farmer in whose interests it should he
given, do not have the right kind of
an opportunity Of doing what they can
to assist. They also stated that If the
fair people would grant this later sltte
they would take it upon themselves to
see that Cass county sent an exhibit
that would be in keeping with the i'm.
portance of the county and the coun.
TVS crops.
The matter will We taken up by the
fair directors and officers and ieeis.

few days. There has been good daal

Just what will be done. in. the cas4
Of the date is net announced as yn:,
hut there are several arguments that
will be used by the management OF
the fair against later date and the
principal one is that the later date
has been tried on three different occas.
ions in years gone by and has proved
to be a failure in each instance. The
weather they say is never settled dur.

dates were fixed for rairy week the

known that the dates Of state fair

with other fairs, or the horses and ex'

every way possible in asking the Nor
