ten contests will be on the program
each afternoon and already the men
from the ranges are entering their
names for the competitions. For the
stands this one feature of the fair pro.
gram promises more thrills than the
whole program has afforded in past
years.
In the steer bull-dogging contests
five cowboys are entered thus far. In
these contests the cowboy must single
out a Texas long horn from a groin
must drive the animal at top speed nn
the track, must leap from his horse
to the horns Of the steer and throw
the animal, sommersault fashion
Some 100 of the wild long horns will
be used in the wild west contests
Fifty wild horses will be corralled and
used for the wild horse race. in which
the rider must catch his horse, saddle
it and ride it a half mile, the first in
winning the purse.
Eighteen thousand people gathered
for the final frontier day program.
when the event was held two years
ago at the fair grounds as a separate
show. Events kept the stands on an
anxious seat for four hours. Eighi
.iders narrowly escaped death in the

DRIVE BY h ALLIES

It is announced from Paris that
the allied armies have begun q move
ment against the German western
line with the purpose of driving the
invader from France and Belgium.
The statement is made that the
greatest battle of the war is now in
progress, but that the censorship is
so close that little in regard to it's
progress can be gived out.
If this information Is correct, the
British have placed their long prom
Used army on the line and have sup.
piled 1t with the necessary arms and
munitions.
1t has been casually mentioned that
10000 soldiers a day were being
transported from England to France
and if that was true, there is good
reason to expect the long delayed
drive upon the enemy's lines at the
western theatre of war.
