RrookfieId Fair

Something different every year
is the ambition Of the fair associa-
tion, and this time they have Sc
cured a series Of free entertain+
ments for each of the four days
that will add a peculiar novelty to
the usual attractions of Linn
county's regular annual roundup.
Indeed since automobiles have come
into such general use and the roads
are kept IN such perfect condition
the crowd that assemblies on the
BrookGeld fairgrounds every sum-
mer is representative Of far more
than the confines of our own
county, and this year the visitors
from a distance are sure to come IN
greater numbers than ever before.
The high-class racing that is al
ways to be found here insures the
presence of a multitude, and the
individual display of stock, pro-
duce and handiwork are worth the
price of admission. To all the
usual sights of this great four-day
event there has been added the
Oleo Hippodrome Company which
will each day put on a program OF
chariot races, Roman standing
races, relay races and the like,
such as has never been seen here,
and this extraordinary feature of
the fair promises to be so sensation
al as to make it the talk of the
town all week. And everybody
will be here. Budget.

The worst electrical storm of the
year ragged several hours Monday
night and was accompanied by a
heavy rain. A great many phones
in Laclede and surrounding coun-
try were burned out, and the elec-
tric light company suffered consid-
cradle loss. The transformer on
the Benson corner was struck and
badly damaged, a great many fuses
were blown out and many bulbs
were ruined. Both light and
phone companies had men out all
day Tuesday repairing the damage.
The wind fattened ont the corn to
some extent, but did no serious
damage.
Twelve cars of merchandise were
being loaded or unloaded in La
clede Monday = approximately
1000, 900 pounds. This gives
some idea of the amount of busi-

does not include local freight.
Probably five times that amount
was transferred from one of the
Burlington's lines to the other that
day, and sometimes the transfer
business amounts to 100 cars in a
day. The transfer of baggage and
express is heavier here than any
where else on the Burlington in
Missouri outside of the large cities,
and passenger traffic through La
clede is enormous. Few outside of
Laclede realize the Importance of
Laclede as railroad center.
