GET READY FOR
COUNTY FAIR NOW
THIS is THE SEASON OF THE
YEAR WHEN THE PREMIUM
WINNERS GET BUSY
NEWSPAPERS ARE BOOSTING THE FAIR
Every Paper In the County Is Giving
Freely of Its Space to Help Along
in Making it a Great Success

The publicity department of the
county fair hands us the following:
Now is the time when the provident
farmer who is going to take the first
premium at the county fair, gets very
busy in seeing that the cattle, horses,
swine and other live stock is getting
into good condition to make an impress
sion on the strange people they are
going to meet. He knows it is just as
easy to make every other fellow hustle
If he gets a premium and he sees that
they do. A nan said the other day
that you had to keep ding longing
this into h ears of the farmers or
they would come to the fair unpre-
pared. We told him he was mistaken
because the most Of the stock in this
county would only take a few weeks
attention to make them prize winners
at an international show. Just mark
our prediction and see if the stock at
the county fair this fall are not won
ders for condition and form.
The editor Of the White Leader
wrote a letter to the secretary of the
fair the other day and told him that
he was proud of the way the fair was
being boosted all over the county, and
he further added that he was ready to
work his head off" to make it a sue
cess for Bookings county. Now as
Mr.. Peters came from Iowa among the
good fairs of the country he certainly
knows how much they are worth in
building up a county. With the White
Leader leading the movement in the
northeast part of the county, it can
be assured that the exhibits at the
fair this year will beat the band for
excellence.
New and additional comforts are al
ways to be found at the fair. This
year Mr.. Roger, a resident of Iroquois,
who has been connected with the con.
cessions at the state fair for years,
will have the grand stand privileges
at our fair, and will provide cushion
seats for the grand stand which may
be rented for a small fee.
The children must not forget that on
Wednesday, the second day of the fair,
it is free to all children of the county
under high school age. There will be
a full program of races, attractions
and a special program of sports for
them. This is the time to come and
see the great display of work done by
the children of the county that will fill
the Children's Building. Don't forget.
There are a few more pennants left
at the office Of the secretary of the
fair, and the auto owners who come
first will be the lucky ones to get
them to put on their cars. This is a
splendid and enterprising way in
which to advertise the county as well
as the fair.
The fair management want to thank
all the newspapers in the county for
the splendid way in which they are
boosting the county fair and giving
prominent space to the reading mat
ter about it. When the papers come
out in such style and put their shout
der to the wheel there can be no doubt
but what the enterprise will be a uc-
cess. Brookings county certainly has as
fine a bunch Of newspapers as any
county in the state. We do not have
so very many. but you can bet your
last cent that they are all good live
ones, on the job all the time.
Watch this paper all the time from
now on until the fair for the latest
news of what is going to happen and
what you are going to see. When the
fair management and us newspapers
work hand in hand you can be assured
that the fair is going to be something
that it will be a positive sin to miss
