On Friday, September 10th, at the
cunty fair the Old Settlers will be
rendered a lunch by the fair. Nearly
500 were out last year and more should

At the county fair carnival there will
be a variety of splendid shows includ-
ing the Flea Circus, the Tango Maids

One of the popular attractions at the
fair will be the singing by two ladies,
Misses Cherry and Ewell, accompanied
by the Carnival Concert Band. These
concerts will be given twice daily on
the streets of Bookings.
Remember that we guarantee that
this carnival company is refined and
presents nothing but clean. high class
shows. On the grounds each and every
day and all day at that will be found
those popular friends of the Riddles,
the merry-go-round and the Ferris
wheel.
On Wednesday, Thursday and Fri

races each day, Wednesday, 2:45 trot
and 2:2O pace, Thursday, 2:20 trot
and 2:45 pace, Friday, 2:25 trot and

that are performing in the Northwest
ern Iowa circuit and others that are
to be at Huron. Every day during the
races concerts will be provided in the
grand stand by the well known Brook
ings band and other amusements will
be staged on the big platform.
Remember that all the entries must
be in and placed on the first day, the
entry books close at two o'clock. The
judging will be done on Wednesday
and all owners of stock should be on
the grounds that day to assist in show
ing their animals.
Wednesday, the second day will be
children's day, and all under Is years
of age are to be admitted free. There
will be games and sports for the kid
dies under the direction of Mr.. M. G..
Carlisle, director of sports and amuse-
ments. Come and see the exhibits of
children's work in the children's build
ing.
On all days except the first three
will be two flights by an aviator of
national reputation. The fair has con-
tracted with the Young Areoplane Co.
for this feature and are waiting to
learn which one of the fifteen flyers
working with the company will be
assigned to Bookings county fair. He
will do all of the new stunts common
with flyers this year, and will startle
the crowd with his feats of daring. Re-
member, two flights each day barring
accidents or sudden death.
With the entries now received and
those promised the fair can assure you
that the live stock display will beat
anything ever seen at a county fair.
1t is going to be as good as a sale
market for those who want to buy or
sell as if it was held for that purpose
alone. Get into the game with your
stock and show that B~rookings county
is on the map.
Toz, the diving dog, will amuse the
children and grown-ups as well. He
enjoys diving so much that he has to
be tied up to keep him from wearing
himself out. Every day twice, at
least.
One of the free attractions for the
amusement of the public will be a
splendid aerial acrobatic act by two
people. This is a high priced attrac-
ton and worthy of your attestion and
admiration. Every day, twice at least.
The ladies and children will appre-
ciate the new toilet accommodations
provided for them this year. Adjoin-
ing the children's building has been
erected an addition with ample conven-
fences, including lavatories with run
ming water.
