The Southwest Fair

to be made, everything is in read
mess for the Southwest Fair to
be held in Liberal the 9th, 10th,
11th and 18th of September. In
every department where premiums
are offered there are already num-
erous entries. The agricultural
and chicken departments promise
to be much better and more ex-
tensive than last year. The races
for those who care for that kind
of amusement will find the entries
classy and worth seeing.
There will be amusements OF
some kind and the Liberal band
promises some new music to lend
enthusiasm and help entertain the
crowds. There will be some base
ball games either at the grounds
or at the regular base ball grounds.
The management promises that

are not the main reasons why an
especial effort should be made to

see these industries as nearly per-
fected as the chicken raising has
been developed in this section of
the state.
They feel that people in general
should at least cooperate with
them in the attempt to improve
the couuty.s products. These

lila Miller Writes a New
Years Story

Dear Juniors:
1 thought I would write New Years
story.
Once there was girl of 10. Her name
was Boxey. She didn't have any papa
nor mamma, but she stayed with her
Aunt Primrose and Uncle Walter, who
were awful kind to her. One day she
went to Aunt Primrose and said Aunt
Primrose, didn't get you anything for
Christmas, and l want to get you New
Years present.
She went outdoors. She went to lit
tie store and asked for some presents.
The. clerk got out ring and pin and a
fur hat and lot of other costly things
How much is that fur hat. sir?' said
Roxey, and the clerk said in a kind
voice, that hat is IS, but if you want
little things can show you some and
he showed her necktie. She took it
and on the way home she saw in the
snow a baby in basket. She took it
home and said to herself she would give
it to Aunt Primrose.
In the middle Of the night she put
the neclltie on chair for Uncle Walter
and put the baby on a chair for Aunt
Primrose, and in the morning when she
got up she had a great surprise. She
saw on the chair a big doll. And she had
greater surprise coming yet. She went
out and saw pony and sleigh. She ran
and kissed her Uncle Walter. Aunt
Primrose was not up yet. When she
saw the baby she ran and kissed Roxey.
And on cold winter moonlight nights
they would always have good times
sleigh riding Roxey named the baby
Leroy.
