1. Because it is our fair and we

3. Because it is one of the best
means of advertising our prA1ucts and

neighbors and can profit by the good

Heed the WARNING.

Charles Becker, policeman who
played an important part in the mur.
der of Rosendahl, one of New Yorks
noted gamblers, was electrocuted in
Sing Sing prison, N. Y, last Friday
morning. His dying statement was
that he was innocent but he failed to
convince either jury or New York's
Governor of that fact. He has paid
the penalty for being in bad company,
even tho he was innocent. The same
term applies to number of young
men in Redwood County who keep
bad company. Sooner or later you
will come in bad, and your innocence
will not save you. Heed the warning!

PREPARE FOR The
BIGGEST SHOW EVER
kandiyohi County Fair will Be
On In a Month From

County fair time will soon be here.
The dates are Sept. Is, 16, II and 1S.
The premium lists, several thousands
Of them, will be mailed to the farm
ers in the course of a few days. It
should prove of great interest to all,
as all the departments have been care
fully revised by the superintendent
and new features added where thot
desirable.
Two $50 silver cups will be awarded
to stock raisers. One contributed by
the Minnesota Dairyman's Association
for the best dairy herd exhibited, and
one by the Minnesota Live Stock
Breeders Association for the best gen.
eral exhibit of live stock at the fair
Both cups are worth going after, es-
pecially as the animals shown will
also be eligible to win the cash prizes
offered. Last years showing of nine
ty head of purebreds was a good one,
but it can be excelled if breeders N
the county will realize the benefits to
the community and to themselves that
will accrue from a good showing.
The farm club exhibits will be
feature again this year. Every farm
club should make it a point to be re-
presented. Set the young folks at
work. Nothing will serve better to
prove to the people of other commun-
tiles the value of the friendly cooper
alton which the farm club teaches
than good showing at the county
fair.
A baby show will take place on
Friday, Sept. 17-one day only-cash
prizes in four classes are offered, $40
in each class. The Judging will be
done at eleven o'clock in the forenoon,
and much interest will center in this
unique feature. Don't fail to see the
little folks. Every proud mamma in
the county should enter her little one
for this feature.
The racing program promises to be
an interesting one and will furnish
much excitement. Several county
people will have new horses to enter,
we are told. The track is more set
tied and in better shape than it was
last year.
The free, acts will include a., finely
costumed troupe of six Russians, and
a daring spiral tower performance.
Every loyal Kandiyohian should
plan some feature for the fair. Con-
tribute something, however small, the
best that is in you, to make our an
nual show the best possible. Perfec-
tion is made up of trifles, and if every
body does his or her part we will have
the kind of fair we will be proud to
invite our friends to come and see.
Don't expect few people to do all
the work, but contribute some of your
