Four big days and every day a
hummer. A good bunch of officers
and directors and good time a.
head, both socially and intellect
ually. From start to finish it will
make such an echo that the boys
across the pond will tremble for
fear of something terrible hap
pening over here. A large number
of strangers will be here and when
they returned home they will no
longer be strangesr, but genuine
boosters for HIGHLAND COUNTY.
A pumpkin on its way for ex-
hibition from north Of Wyndmere
has been ON the road 81 days and
it will be here by Monday after
noon. 1t is so large that it has on
ly been turned over half WAYS
round. This is just a mere trifle
to what some other exhibits are
going to be in size, that we have
heard of. So lets all come and see
them, once anyway.
Plans For This Fair
The management looks forward
to the Tenth Annual Fair of the
Richland County Fair Association
with the expectation that it will
eclipse all former fairs both as to
the variety and extent of the ex-
hibits and in point of attendance
This year they are Offering by
far the best list of premiums in
the history of the Association, and
with abundant crops of excellent
quality in store, it is expected that
the display of grains, grasses
vegetables and fruits will be bet
ter than has ever been seen or
the grounds.
Corn was to be made feature
of the fair this year, but on ac-
count of the backward season il
is expected at this time that ex-
hibits along this line will no more
than be up to the usual standard
The management has prepared
the 1915 premium list with the
utmost care, and with a view OF
encouraging all kinds Of agricul-
ture. They realize, however, that
mans best efforts may be improv-
er upon.
Special Train Service
The Great Northern with spec
ial service will have 10 passenger
trains in addition to freight ser
vice every day of the Fair. The
Northern Pacific and Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul r. r. Will
special equipment will add S
trains more to the service which
will give us iS trains daily arriv-
ing and departing every day dur
ing Fair Week.
a Clean Exhibition
1t has been the emdeavor of all
concerned to make it a clean fair
and with that end in view, have
done away with all sorts Of gamb-
ling, graft games and no skin
games will be permitted on the
grounds, thus assuring full pro-
lection to all. The shows and en-
tertainments will be selected with
the greatest care so that there
will be nothing Objectionable on
the grounds, and the patronage
of the most refined people are
catered to as heretofore.
Amusements
The amusement program for
the 1915 fair will abound with all
those attractions that go to make
live fair. Good tent shows at
reasonable prices, ferris wheel,
merry-go-round, and all kinds of
concessions that go to enliven the
occasion, and bring back to life
that fire Of youth, so essential to
the full enjoyment of every event.
There will be three bands, if not,
two for sure, consisting of about
IS pieces, so there will be no need
of lonesome moment, during the
entire fair.
The racing program, and pro-
gram of other sports will be as
much better than heretofore as 1t
is possible to make them with the
funds on hand. In short the Rich
land County Fair of 1915 will go
down in history as being the best
since its organization, nine years
ago.
Information
If at any time, either before, or
during the fair, any information
is desired, it can be obtained by
applying to the secretary or any
of the other officers. The officers
will be pleased to furnish any
desired information to exhibitors
Exhibitors
There is no reason why every
farmer and live stock breeder in
this vicinity should not exhibit. 1t
will not do for some farmers to
wait until their neighbors have
