Counties Urge Late State Fair.

Counties Urge Late State Fair.
Delegates from 20 northern Wiscon-
sin counties will meet in Amigo jan
uary 20 and 80 to discuss the state
fair. The demand is for date late
in September and permanent fair at
Milwaukee.
LangIade county has started the
movement and in the special conven-
ton CALL the purposes Of the meeting
are given as follows
ITO consider the Importance OF ter
minating forever the question OF
change in the location of the state fair
by securing legislation that will place
1t permanently at Milwaukee, the me-
tropolis of our state.
ITO recommend to the state board
of agriculture the fixing of a date for
holding this fair late enough In Sep
TENDER to give the northern counties
a chance to exhibit fully matured
products In accordance with the pro
visions of the act creating the state
board and to arrange for representa-
ton at the meeting Of the state board
at Madison the first Tuesday Of Feb
ruary.
ITO take concerted action for better
representation in exhibits, In attend
ance and In support OF the state fair. ;"
The call says further:
THE greatest of dairying states
should have state fair that is OF
commanding reputation throughout
the country. The future growth of our
state in population depends upon the
peopling of our unoccupied lands with
desirable farmers. The future de-
mands more food to eat than Is now
being produced and the northern
counties, with 100000 acres OF the
best soil In the world, offer farm
homes and prosperity to quarter OF
| a million families. Every 40 acres
will make good living for an indus
tious family. To occupy the soil Is no
experiment. The state fair is an In
stitution that is the key to desired
| publicity. When a million people each
| fall have the opportunity to look at
| the fruits of seasons labor as dis
| played at Milwaukee, the mere sight
| of the evidence of agricultural success
| cannot fell to bring to unocclpied
acres the very family who needs the
sou.'
| The special convention will be made
| up as follows: Three delegates from
| each county fair association, three
| delegates from each commercial or
ganization, three delegates from each
county board, the county superintend-
| ent. the city superintendent OF educa-
ton. the editor Of each newspapers,
each assem- blyman and senator.
The counties interested in the move
ment are: Douglas. Barron. Ear
! Claire, Bayfield,, Ashland, Lincoln.

nette, Washburn, Price, Rusk, Taylor.

Sawyer, Pierce, Oneida, Shawano and
| Forest.
The call to the convention has been
extended by the following general
committee: Frank ]. Finucane, T. w

Hon. Fulton II. Sears. candidate
for the Democratic nomination for

interested in the outcome of Mr..
Sears candidacy, for If successful
he would become at once an active
agent for the betterment of local
conditions wherever it would be pos

date of his first residence within
this project Mr. Sears has been an
indefatigable worker and his efforts
have always been on the side right
He has expended great deal of
his private funds in his work for a
betterment of western conditions,

FOR FAIR 60 ON
Liberal Appropriations Are Made for
Sporting Events Which Will In
clude Auto Races.

AT a meeting of the Truckee-Car-
son fair directors, held at the City
Hall Saturday afternoon, much busi-
ness bearing upon the 1914 fair,
which occurs from September 14th
to Goth, inclusive, was consummat-
ed One of the important matters
has to do with proposal from the
Nevada Agricultural Experiment
Station at Reno to bring a full rep
resentation of farm exhibits to the
local fair, which was gladly accept
ed. This exhibit will cover wide
range of products and will be taken
from Fallon to the State fair at
Reno. Prof. Chas. S. Knight, dean
of the state college OF agriculture,
also proposes to bring before the
farmers and their wives the import
ance of the division of agricultural
extension to farm practice by a
series of demonstrations throughout
the fair week
Provisions were made at Satur-
days meeting for the various divi-
sions of the fair, an allotment of
$3.50 being set aside for the sports
program. Together with other
funds that will be forthcoming for
this purpose the racing events will
carry generous purses Horse rae
Ing will occur on Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday of Fair Week,
while auto races will feature Friday.
1t is planned to give $3.50, 500 and
SIS as cash prizes for the contesting
automobiles, while at least three
silver cups will be included in the
awards to entrants in these events.
The auto races are being sponsored
by R. L. Dougass and other local
enthusiasts and nothing is being left
undone that would tend to make
them successful. The start and
finish of the race will be at the race
track grand stand, though the exact
route to be followed is still unde-
termined.
Another sporting event for Friday
that will attract will be a trap shoot
at the city park, the prize for which
will be $50.
Street dancing each evening
throughout fair week will be in
charge of the Fallon band. The
fair management will provide a plat
form on the vacant lot across Maine
street from the court house.
A parade will be feature either
or Friday. Many of the
business houses expect to prepare
floats, while an effort is to be made
to induce the school districts of the
project to compete for two prizes
which will be set aside for the best
and second best school floats The
first will be a silver cup while it is
probable that a set of books suitable
for a school library will constitute
the second prize.
Saturday will be dairhman's day
with all of the previously announced
features, among which will be an
auction, at which anything for sale
by anyone may be offered by the
