instructive exhibits. Each year a
band is secured to give concerts dur

In addition, several vaudeville acts
are put on. This year. the directors
have retained the Roundup band to
furnish the music and have engaged
"The Marvellous De Olney, the Human

evening. On account Of the Roundup
there will be no afternoon concerts

frontier show has emphasized the
need for the fair and the two com

One of the cowboys in the try-out

ter ride without getting dumped
while almost all of the other buckar-

times. But there was a reason, and
all of those busters knew the reason.
IL was easy for them to see that the
untumbled rider would never give his
horse a chance. for he would keep
such tight hold on the rope that the

VALENTINES BY P. ?.
Missives This Year Must be Sent

Again the parcel post system is in

change valentines Oh February lith.
At least it will do so If the purchaS.
ers of valentines insist on spending
their money for the gorgeous ones
whose sentiments are printed on Gel.
luloid and tied with baby ribbon.
The postal laws provide that print
ed material other than that which
is printed on paper must be sent by
parcel post. In order to send a pack
age by parcel post the sender's name
must appear on the package. That
knocks all to pieces the custom Of
sending valentines to the ladies and
leaving them in ignorance regarding
the sender. -f
This year valentines of the kind
named either must be sent by parcel
post or sent as first class mail. The
local postal authorities are anticipat-
ing lots of trouble OH this day of the

BILE a great many people will make
the mistake of not using the parcel
