COUNTY FAIR COMMENTS

The Brookings county fair closed
last Friday and it was probably one
OF the best fairs ever pulled off in this
county. Still We believe the business
men and the merchants OF the city of
Bookings made a great mistake in
not having a fine automobile display.
This event was extensively advertised
and many came to the fair expecting
TO see something in the line of an
auto parade, but only one little Ford
car went by the grand stand decorated
while scores Of cars stood by the
track which might have been decorat-
ed in a few minutes and would have
made a magnificent display and been
a credit to the business men of Brick
ings.
The failure of the aviator to be pres
ent was no fault of the association as
the aviation company failed to deliver
at the last moment owing to an acct
dent. They tried to secure another
but were unable to do so.
There was a good display of agri-
cultural products of all kinds and the
ladies are entitled TO credit for a fine
display in their building. There was
also a most excellent display of poul-
try of nearly every kind, good enough
for a state exhibit. The school chill
dren's. exhibit was a credit to the
OF the county and their
teachers. The live stock exhibit show
ed that Brookings county is getting
into a better class of both horses and
cattle and the display of hogs would
be hard to beat anywhere.
The fair, taken as a whole, was one
of the best eve held in the county and
is a credit to the officers, especially to
the secretary who has devoted much
labor to make it a success

The free attractions were not As
large as last year, but what there were
of them. we're good. The clown who
did the funny stunt with the bicycle
was especially good. This is a par
Of the fair that shouldabe given more
attention. The free attractions last
year did much TO add to the success of
that fair.
The company that was TO furnish the
aviator for the fair wired OF Monday
that three Of their machines had been
wrecked and hat it would be impos-
sible for them TO fill their engagement.
The secretary Immediately got into
communication with another company.
but il was too late TO secure another
aviator, although the company did its
best to do so. While the failure to
have a flying machine at the fair was
a disappointment to the attendants. il
was more of a disappointment to the
management, and it is unfair to criti.
cize the officials in this connection.
The horse races this year did not
give the best if satisfaction. There
seems to be a sort of feeling among
the people that the speed barn is a
little too small a place for the races
TO be won or lost, and unless the
races can be run out in the open in the
half-mile track they don't are much
for them. OF curse this may be an
old fogey noti) but it generally pre-.
walls.
The general conclusion is that a
carnival is a carnival and while some
are more SO than others, there is a
general similarity, and unless the writ
er is greatly mistaken, the carnival
Kept more people away from the fair
than it attracted. The reports of those
who attended the first days were not
good and they had their effect on the
attendance of the last two days. While
carnival was better than most
a~ggregations of the kind on the road,
he writer is frank to state that the
concerning the same were
ike what Mark Twain said regarding
his reported death some years ago
exaggerated" The Tribune
to give the fair management
credit for good intentions in the car
lival matter, however.
In a few words this is the general
sentiment of west side people regard
ng fairs in general: Keep the ex-
libits up to the highest standard (the
as this year, fit the buildings
Up properly to contain them; give as
many free attractions before the grand
as the resources of the ~associa-
ion will permit; cut out the horse rae
ng unless the races can be run on the
rack instead Of the speed barn; and
no carnival companies or lot
cry schemes of any kind.-Volga Tri-
,une. '

LUCK!

Luck must be a woman-because 1t
is tickle. Luck continues to knock at
the door after Opportunity has passed
On. Luck is the difference between
success and failure. Luck is unjust,
because the lucky man does not always
deserve his luck. Luck is a gambler.
Luck is a false friend, because it will
desert its most favored ones. Luck is
a myth. 1t may appear to favor indi-
yiduals, but the armies which fight
hardest are most apt to win. Luck is
the ~coquette who leads men to de-
spair. In only n thing is luck faith
ful-it is always on the side of those
who are the steadiest workers.

The officials of the Brookings county
fair association should be given all due
credit for the carrying out of one OF
the best (f not the best) county fairs
ever held in Bookings county. OF
course we are all disappointed on the
non-arrival of the aeroplane but this
was no fault of the fair association.
They fulfilled their part of the con.
tract and the Young Aeroplane Co.
would have filled their but for the
w%recking of several of their machines.
The automobile parade was another
disappointment. The people of Brook
ings at least evidently did not con
slider it worth the time and effort spent
in decorating their cars-those who
own cars, and the outcome of it was
there was one or two decorated in the
lineup.
The exhibits were something great.
In the agricultural hall the exhibits
equal any former exhibits and was the
best we have seen at any county fair
for a long time. The only thing lack
ing vas creditable 1915 corn exhibits.
1t is true there were several exhibits
there but it was scarcely past the
roasting stage.
The woman's building it was stated
surpassed any previous fair in the
amount of exhibits and the fine quality
of same.
The poultry exhibits were excep-
tionally fine. They were worth the
price Of admission into the fair
grounds alone. The editor of this
paper cleaned information from poul-
try exhibited there that he had not
known before. Some of the exhibits
were as good as we have seen at the
state fair.
There was a fine show of stock in
the stock building. Cattle. horses and
hogs were there this year in greater
numbers and made a fine showing.
There was a fine display of farm
machinery on the grounds. The Bull
tractor sold by Koenig & Farrell of
this place made a hit in their demon
STATIONS near the fair grounds. Sew
eral sales were made after the demon
stration.
Probably the most enjoyable and
instructive time spent by the editor
was In the children's building filed
with the work of the school children
OF the county. We had the pleasure
OF meeting Superintendent Blakely
who was In charge OF exhibits and who
kindly took 10 around showing the
work OF the county. We were just
surprised 10 see with what perfection
the school children have attained in
industrial work and basket weaving,

In many ways the county fair held
at Brookings last week was the best
ever held in the county. The exhibits
were large, varied and particularly
good. The live stock department was
the best 1t has ever been and probably
no county fair in South Dakota has
ever had a better line of exhibits in
this department Last year the cholera
kept many farmers from exhibiting
their swine and they also stayed away
with their other lines of live stock.
This year the swine building was full
TO overlooking and additional room
had to be provided for the overflow.
The exhibits of cattle and horses were
excellent and sheep also made an ex.
cellent showing.
The poultry exhibit was fine and is
said to be only second to that of last
years state fair. The building used
for this purpose was well filed, and
the judge, a gentleman from Mime
sofa, who makes a speciality IL poultry
judging, was highly complimentary Of
the exhibits at the county fair.
The exhibits in the agricultural
building were large and good and were
as good as ever seen here with the ex-
ception Of orn Owing to the late
S OF the season, nothing was expect.
ed of corn, so no n was disappoint-
ed in that line. There we're a few
samples. but all were soft, and while
the corn exhibit Is usually one of the
best at the fair this year it was the
poorest.
The exhibits in the woman's build
ing were certainly fine and we're a
credit to the industry and thrift OF the
ladies Of Brcokings county. There
We're many exhibits that could not be
given wall space on account of not
having room, and it is certainly up to
the fair management to add the con-
templated upper deck to the woman's
building before another fair is held.
All Of these exhibits looked mighty
fine to the writer, but he could not ap-
preciate them as much as the lady
visitors.
There were many exhibits In the
children's school building which was
under the direction of Superintendent
Blakely, but there Is no question but
what the educational exhibit could be
doubled II the necessary room was
provided. The building is the smallest
on the grounds and was built by dona-
lions from the school children of the
county and IL entirely inadequate for
the needs Of the schools OF the county.

grounds. when Il should be n Of the

MITCHELL'S CORN PALACE

With South Dakota this year pro-
ducing a crop of cereals that aggre-
gate II hundred and ~forty-fve mil
lions of dollars, it is perhaps in keep
ing with her overlooking granaries
and p%lethoric bank accounts that she
celebrates at the greatest temple of
Ceres, Mitchell's worId-famous Corn
Palace.
To the people of South Dakota and
the great northwest Michel sends an
invitation to visit her 1915 Corn
Palace, confident that it is greatest
in the series of the great autumn lar
vest festivals started twenty-three
years ago. Without undue boasting
the Palace itself and the attractions
shown in connection will surpass the
goal of former years.
The setting for a Corn Palace in
South Dakota has never been more apt
than this fall, in the year in which
bursting granaries has become a
literal truth. The government reports
that the value of the three small
grains of South Dakota, wheat, bar
ley and oats, will exceed over $1OO, 900
in value, and that the corr crop will
reach a value of $4S, 600, 900. The
yield Of the three small grains is more
than double that of 1914 and the corn
exceeds the yield of last year by over
$4,000 900 in value. These things at.
test the appropriateness of a Corn
Palace, in the heart of the corr belt If
the great northwest.
In 1914, according to the state CEN
sus, South Dakota produced a yield of
73,027,151 bushels of corn from 3,418,-
359 acres. Other yields, which in
small grain have been doubled this
season, were wheat, 35,246,235 bushels;
barley, 13.65O.321 bushels; potatoes,
4,385,717 bushels; alfalfa, 271,135
tons.
To the western part of South Da-
kota, Mitchell this year extends An
especially hearty invitation to be pres
ent. Never in the history of the coun-
try west of the river has the agricul-
tural outlook been so bright or the
yield of it's fields and garden so bounti-
full. Abundant rains have aroused the
rich fertility of that country and dry
farming" has been relegated to a
period of the past.
1t is fitting, then, that the Corn
of 1915 should mark the de-
of South Dakota from a ter
ritory of ~treeless waste and occasional
shanties Of sod to a prosperous COM
whose yearly productions
of grains, cattle and mineral are
the ransoms of a hundred kings
and whose land is dotted over with
red barns, silos, modern
homes, with herds Of blooded cattle
the hills and registered swine in
the yards.
Mitchell bids the farmers of South
come to their greatest harvest

nickle and enamel. over the roads
that bore their forefathers with their
spans of oxen and a decade ago saw
their lumber wagons. She asks that

Casey Bobs Up
In Northern Circle

J. Casey Mcdaniel, one of the
early boosters in Southern Nevada,
where he made and lost several for
tunes, had landed in Alaska, and a
copy of paper published at An
chorage, near Cocks Inlet, received
at this office yesterday states that he
IS preparing to build and start a
fotel at that place.
His plan is to build on the lines of
the celebrated Casey hotel at
Goldfie1d and if this idea is carried
out the hosiery will soon become
the most famous in the Northern
Circle. Casey" is a rustler and his
many Nevada friends hope that he
is again on the road to fame and for
tune. Success to him.
