VIII Find Something TO Instruct
and Entertain


In three weeks the big grounds of
the Lancaster County Fair Association,
embracing ffty-hve acres. will be
thrown open to the public and the
greatest and grandest Fair ever held
in this section will be under way.
For the past month or more Score
tary Seldomridge and his corps of office
assistants have been fairly swamped
with applications for space. Despite the
promised immensity of the exhibition
the price to Lancaster's Fair will re-
main at % cents-there will be no ad-
vance as there has been in some coun-
ties not far away. The Lancaster Fair
is everybody's fair and everybody is
invited to come and have a great big
time at the smallest possible admission

this and adjoining cities will be the

ing OF the several miles of Midway at
fractions, presenting freaks from every
quarter OF the globe.
For the farmers there will be special
interest attached to the corn and
tobacco shows for both men and boys.
the immense lines of farm and road
machinery, the blooded cattle. horses,
sheep and hogs, the seeds, fruits and
fertilizers and hundreds of other things
too numerous to mention.
OF special appeal to the ladies will
be the big exhibition building devoted
exclusively this year to fancy work.
the products of the oven. the canned
goods and preserves, the exhibits of
housewifely utensils of all sorts, the
home labor saving devices of many
kinds and everything generally that
local merchants have to offer
For the children there will be so
much of strong appeal that it is use
less to enumerate. There is always
big time for the kiddies at the Fair
and this year will offer many times
more than ever before.
All that will be necessary to insure
the success of the Fair will be the
proper sort of weather.-Advertise

SIXTY CANDIDATES
FOR CENTRAL TEAM
Husky Boys Promise to Disprove
Reports That This Years
Eleven Would Be Weak

With sixty candidates ready to work
hard for the football team, Central
High will start work Monday under
the direction of Paul G. Smith. who
has signed up for another season as
coach. Developing new material will
be Coach Smiths hardest job. but it
may not be as hard as was first an
ticipated 1t may also he said that
neither Tech nor Steelton High is
likely to have runaway race this
year
When the season ended last season
five big stars of the Central team
ended their scholastic efforts. Some
fear was expressed that the male ad-
ditions to the Central school this year
would be small and promising ma
terial for football scarce. In counting
noses Yesterday officials of the Central
High School as well as Coach Smith
were agreeably surprised to learn that
there is an abundance of good ma
terial in the school. Professor w. S.
Steele. principal of the Central High
School, said last night.
Have Some Husky Boys
I'VE are not going to boast of what
we have. nor predict anything for the
future, but | will say that | am more
than pleased with the number of
young men who have responded to the
can TO take part IN the football game.
Among the candidates are q number of
husky boys. If they have the brains
to play the game. as we'll as the bone
and sinew, Central High will not be
so weak as expected. The school
spirit is strong and every pupil will do
his best to maintain the standard in
football set by Central"
Coach Smith holds the same opinion
as does Professor Steele. He will get
into the game and work hard
There is every indication that Cen
tral viii have a much heavier team
this year than has represented that
school for several years. Arrange
ments will be made to switch the
studies of all candidates i'm order to let
them get to the afternoon practice
Professor Steele said he will do every
thing he can to have the squad work
ing every day.
Tech Looks Strong
Coach d. Forrest Dunkel. of Tech
High, had a squad of fifty working at
Island Park yesterday afternoon. He
is much pleased with the outlook and
looks for n strong eleven this season.
He will not give his squad any special
work until next Wednesday.
Coach E. c. Taggert, at Steelton, is
not saying much these days, but he is
smiling, and that smile must be con-
sidered. Steelton looks stronger lust
now than either Central or Tech. The
Steelton team starts with number of
players who have been doing good
work in the football game. Daily
practice will be the order at the mill
town south of the city.
