The sheep n hog and poultry
buildings will all be occupied with

last year, but this year the fair direc-
tors are scratching their heads over
the problem of space.
Machinery Exhibits.
LIE machinery GAHlDIL Will De one
Of the very best ever seen in the
northwest. Even now there is a con-
slant din as the machines are being
placed and above it all can be heard
the popping of the innumerable gas
ol1ne n gas tractors. There are
dozens of them on hand. There will
be blowing exhibits on the Bacon
farm adjoining the fair grounds. This
is a feature Of the fair that always

It is the eXempliication of the very
latest in approved farming methods.
The tractors On the fair grounds will
be a center of attraction for all the
five days of the fair.
Under the roof of machinery hall
will be seen machinery of all kinds.
The latest in farm machinery. the
electrically propelled machines of all
kinds and descriptions will draw at
tention. And when the up to date

will wander over to the old Bobby
Bruce" North Dakota's oldest engine.
Splendid Races and ADJUSTMENTS.
The amusement side of the fair is
bigger INC better than in previous
years. The races will all be very good,
some of the best horses in the north
west being entered. There will be
some very fast cards on for the en-
tertainment of the visitors. Some of
the fast horses entered are Bill
Bailey, Major Gantz, Maynot, Ethel
Patch and FIossie Patch and Gordon
Boy. In all there are fifty-five of The
very fastest and classiest race horses
in the northwest entered. The string
is a very pretty one. Lovers Of
horses will be immensely pleased
when they see them on the track.
The Popular AeropIane.
Then there will be the very popular
aeroplane to attract The crowd. The
fact that almost all of the airmen
who have exhibited 1T the fair
grounds here have been killed or in
jured at other fairs has made the
local field a place to be avoided by
the airmen. Frank Sites is, how
ever, n of the most daring men IN
the country and says that he is not
a bit superstitious. He will do some
wonderful work with The acceptance,
being recognized as one of the big
leaders in the field of air cruising.
To top it all there will be the big
Irwin Wild West shows with their
crack riders and tricksters. One Of
the big sights will be a team of buff
falo hitched to a wagon. 1t is hard
to believe that the wild bison thai
years ago used to roam over the
North Dakota plains is back again
in his old haunts. *But instead of the
Indian chasing him there will be a
driver perched on a spring seat. The
change from the romantic to the
prosiac is a far-fetched step in this
case. but 1t has been accomplished.
