Oakley. Kan, Aug. 23-Preparations
are complete for the holding of the
Inter-C County fair of Logan, Thomas,

on Sept 2, 3, and 5. The fair man
agement is offering this year $4,000 in

western Kansas conditions these peo-
pie are going to have their annual fair
and it promises to be the best in it's
history. Longren. the Topeka aviator,
will make two flights daily. The sum
of $1,000 is offered for the racing pro-
gram.
The following towns will play for the
baseball championship of western Kan
sas: Ellis, Wakeeney, Hays, Scott
City, Sharon Springs. Russell Springs,
Colby. Hoxie, Cove City and Oakley.
Oakley has a splendid fair grounds
with one of the best race tracks in
western Kansas. Many eastern fairs
have been called off on account of the
season, but these four counties believe
it is worth the time and expense each
year to have their annual fair. The
live stock and agricultural display
promises to be surprise to those who
think nothing was raised in western
Kansas this year.

water supply" The truth is the town
has water in plenty and to spare. In
all this dry, drouthy weather when
other towns have been shipping in
water, Hiawatha has had a reservoir
full of water at the Meisenheimer
spring and the standpipe has been
running over, with all water mains
full. The railroads have been sup
piled with water and every consumer
has been given all the water he de-
sired to use. This condition is bet
ter than in any town in Kansas and
the insurance department and insur-
ance companies need only send inspec-
tors here to see that this statement is
correct.

coming down the VerdigriS and is

much as is needed by the city for all

as has been used per day during the
dry weather, it was decided to remove
the ban on sprinkling until further
notice, the only restrictions being
those in regard to sprinlzling hours
which are the same they formerly
were.
