Premium List

The copy for the Prowers County
Fair premium list is now in the hands
Of the printers and contains many
changes all in the interest Of the
public and exhibitors. Mr.. Maxwell
is determined to make this the ban
ner fair ever given in this section and
is going to let everyone have a chance
to enjoy it. He gives the children's
day as usual when all children under
10 are to ge guests of Mr.. Maxwell
and admitted free, on each day ad-
mission to the quarter stretch bleach
ers will be free and seats in the grand
stand cut to 25 cents. This is a big
reduction over the best rates given
by any fair in the state, and means a
big saving to any family attending
this fair. At the same time he raises
the size Of the racing purses and
premiums on many exhibits, thus as
surfing better entertainment than ever
before. If the public shows the proper
appreciation Of Mr.. Maxwell's public
spirit the fair grounds will be crowded
and all records for the valley broken.

A Fine Present for the Kids

Geo. Voltz, member Of the order
of Moose at Phoenix, Arizona, passed
through Lamar on Monday. He was
entertained over night by C. P. Adams,
one of the hustlers of the local lodge,
and visited with many of the members
here. He was driving bunch Of bur-
ros through from Arizona to Moose
hart, Illinois, where the order has

them more pleasure than any thing
else that could possibly be given to

fake, but the actual letters that lead

tell a wonderful story Of the power
