Old settlers should all make a point
of attending the county fair and be-
come part of the organ
ization of a society for the
preserving of the county's history.
Don't let us forget this occasion. Fred
Killing, chairman of the Old Settlers
committee, makes the following appeal
to the pioneers: Time is passing
swiftly. Brookings County Old Set
tiers have never organized. The fair
association offer us the use of the
pavilion and will tender a lunch on
Friday, September A, during the fair.
We should meet, organize and perpetu-
ate the memories of our pioneer days.
All residents of Brookings county for
twenty-five years are old settlers. You
will be attending the fair. Register at
the Old Settlers Booth. Attend the
lunch and meeting. Pass the word
along to some other old timers. The
women are especially invited. This Is
a duty to our early history. Let us
perform it."
The voting for the Queen is going
along nicely, if you want the latest in
formation concerning the vote in your
section of the county go to the nearest
newspaper Office and find out the vote.
Friends, n%eighbors, countrymen, lend
me your ears. / will pour therein
some truth-and that is what the ear
is good for-to hear the truth. The
county fair is bound to be a big one,
and the more that you help by ex-
hibits, the bigger it will be and there
is nothing that is good hat is too big
for Brookings county. This county
beat the world at the state fair year
after year, and we must not stop and
let any other county do as well as we
can. The county fair is a big adver-
tisement; it is the telling of the truth
about Brookings county; tell the truth
and shame the-rest of the world.
Come to the front. Do your-best
and let them know hat this county is
right in the center of the map.
1t has been arranged to have any i'm
portant news about the war come d.
rect to the grounds during the county
fair and will be placed on a c%onspicu-
Gus bulletin board. The special air
ship will daily make flights to observe
the actions of the beligerents.
No foreign censor can keep the
patrons of the county fair from learn
ing the latest war news. The fairs own
special aeroplane will daily make
flights to observe the position of the
armies of Europe. No false bulletins
Will be issued. Nothing but the truth.
If the German Emperor enters Paris
next Thursday as he expects, the coun-
ty fair will be the first foreigner to
greet him, as their special air ship
will make daily flights to wog wag
him a greeting.
Should the Russians capture Berlin
next week, the first thing hat will
greet their eyes in the sky will be the
American flag flying from the special
air ship of the Brookings county fair
that flies daily to watch the course Of
the war.

fair in this paper, the new special
premiums advertised. the attractions
