Preparations For Finest Fair
Ever Held There.
E. ]. Carlen, Secretary of the Nc
Lean County Fair Association, send
the following announcement relativv
to the coming fair at Underwood:
The Mclean County Fair Associa
ton will hold it's eighth annual fai
on the fair grounds at Underwood, OF
September II, IS and 10, 1914.
Many important changes have beer
made which we are sure will NEE
with the approval of the citizens o
the county. Children under the ag|
Of fifteen years, when accompanied
by their parents or a guardian, viii
be admitted free to the fair grounds
all three days. The general price o,
admission for adults will be fifty cents
each day. Any attendant who wishes
to leave the grounds through the day
may procure a p%ass-out check goot
for all day. We feel that this Is one
very important~change that will mee'
with the hearty approval of all. II
eliminates the old custom that has
been in vogue of charging admission
to re-enter the grounds after having
once passed outside the gates.
One of the features Of this years
fair will be an aeroplane which has
been contracted for. Two or more
flights will be made daily during the
three days. Several other attrac
tons have been secured, and with
ball games, basket ball, horse races,
field sports fmerry.go-round for the
children, etc., 1--WE are confident that
this years fair will be the best in
the history of the association.
1t has been aptly said that fairs
are time keepers Of progress" This
is a fact and none less true that The
Mclean county fair should be the
'time keeper of the progress of the
county. Every farmer in Mclean
county should cooperate with the as
ISOLATION in making this years fair
a grand success. He can do this with.
out difficulty and with a good oppor'
tunity for a large remuneration. Let
him arrange specimens of the things
produced on his land and bring them
to the fair for display. g.
Not only is he benefited directly in
the distribution of the awards hung
up by the association but in a far
greater a does he profit in the
enhancement Of land values which
inevitably results when a locality
demonstrates to the county at large
that it has a soil to produce good
crops. There is no better method OF
letting the facts be known than
through the medium of the fair, and
the larger the organization so much
the better.
An appeal is also made to the stock
raisers and dairymen of the county
to make special effort to see that their
best cattle, horses and hogs are en-
tered and exhibited. There will be
plenty Of free hay and water on the
grounds. If you are so situated that
you will be unable to remain the
three days to look after the stock,
notify us and we shall see that the
stock is properly taken care of free
of charge.
Come with a glad hand and spend
one day, two days or three days. If
the whole family can't come-let half
of them come. 1t will be a good
place to meet old friends and make
new ones.
Our farm, our business, our profes.
sion a surely get along, after a
fashion, for at least three days, while
we take a brief rest and have a little
fun. F
With your assistance we have the
opportunity for assembling the best
agricultural exhibit cver seen in North
Dakota; crops, Of all kinds are ex'
cellent; exhibiting them will be a
great boost for the county and a bene-
fit in which all will share to a great.
er or less degree, directly or indirect.
ly.
In conclusion, we wish to state, that
the officers and directors of the asso.
citation receive no compensation for
their services; their time and labor
are given gratis In view Of this
fact, we are laboring for the inter.
ests Of the entire county and we ap.
peal to the honorable citizens to ex.
tend their glad hand, bring in your
exhibits, attend the fair, and assist
us in showing forth the resources OF
Imperial Mclean.
The fair is a county fair; for all
the people and not a part Of the peo-
pie, and in behalf of the fair associa-
ton, l extend a most cordial invita-
ton to every man, woman and child
Of this grand and glorious county to
share in the full benefits of what God,
the Creator, has bestowed upon us.
Best wishes for your fair,
T.. j. CARLEN,
Secy. Mclean GO. Fair Assn.
