penditure is two and one-half times as
great as was made for such purposes
nine years ago. All states but seven
now have state highway laws. The re-
port also shows that automobile own
ers paid in licenses and fees $500
S95, nearly all of which was applied to
road work. This sum is about one
thirteenth of the total State and local
expenditure for roads.
Going to the county fair as early as
the LIST of September will seem strange
to many Bookings people this year for
it has been so customary to go to the
fair when the season was so advanced
that one did not know what to expect
in the way of weather-it might be
warm but the chances were better that
it would be cool; it might rain and it
might snow. This year the fair asso-
citation plans to get away from all
these difficulties as far as possible,
and this year it should be an excep-
tionally wise change for the season is
so far advanced that about as much
of the farm work should be done
by that time as is usually done near
the end of the month. All in all, there
is no reason why Brookings county
should not have the very best and
most successful fair she has ever had.
All it will take is some boosting and
pulling together.
