NEWS NOTES
SOME INTERESTING ITEMS ON
THE COMING BRooKINGs
COUNTY FAIR
MANY SPECIAL PREMIUMS ARE OFFERED
Fair Management lie Making an Effort
to Get the Best Possible Line of
Amusements for the Fall Show

The publicity departments of the
Bookings County Fair has handed in
the following interesting news notes of
the coming fall show:
The premium list that is out
and in the hands of many people is the
best arranged list ever gotten out in
B%rookings county. The whole prem
ium question was thoroughly gone into
this spring and the list is to all in
tents a completely revised one. The
premiums have been increased in
many of the divisions. Particularly
the swine, where a third premium has
been added and all the premiums in
creased. In the woman's department,
a committee, ladies of the Woman's
Institute appointed last winter, went
over the list and made many valuable
suggestions. These were supplement
ed by suggestions from the board Of
superintendent Of the department
and as a consequence we believe that
a very complete and working list Of
premiums has been evolved. In the
matter Of numbering the premium
offers the system has been simplifed
and it will be very easy for anyone to
make their entry.
Notice the special corn and potato
premiums offered by the Brookings
Commercial Club. These are worth
going after and while things are just
now a little backward, this is going to
be a great corn year. And the pota-
toes are making for an elegant crop.
Prepare for this exhibit.
Then notice the special awards for
the sweepstakes champion in all the
live stock divisions. Some first prem
ium winner is going to get in addition
a diploma as the best of his kind and
a fine IS present besides.
You poultry people read up the
specials offered in that department,
here is a chance to get more than the
money offered by the association.
For the benefit of the ladies and
children a new woman's toilet Is to be
built in connection with the woman's
building, equipped with modern SAM
tary closets, with a wash bowl and
running water for lavatory purposes.
This Is something that has been need
ed badly and now we are going to
have it. Just give the fair your sup
port and attendance and we will add
new and needed equipment every year.
In the way of amusements you can
be assured that there will be some
thing doing all the time. We started
to find a good, clean carnival to have
on the grounds and we are going to
have the best there is in the business.
Then there will be special sports for
the children on their w day, We'd
nesday, September 9Th. That day is
free to all children under high school
grade in the county.
Evenings the grounds will be free to
all, to enjoy the free attractions offer
ed by the carnival and patronize the
numerous shows. There will be riding
devices for the kiddies, and we all
know how they enjoy the merry-go-
round and Ferris wheel.
The editor Of the Volga Tribune
says that we are doing the right thing
when we advertise in a business-like
way in the county papers. We believe
that it is business to support u coun-
ty papers, you do it and we are doing
1t, 80 to show us that you agree with
us in supporting home industries. come
to the fair. bring exhibits, show the
rest of the county that you are still on
earth. Here is one thing that the
whole county can get together on, the
Bookings County Fair, the best and
biggest in South Dakota.
We don't think that the premium list
is perfect, we are promising to give
you the best fair ever. Time and ex-
perience alone can enable us to i'm
prove the list of premiums. And we
are doing our best to keep all promises
and it is up to you people Of Brook
ings county to stand back of the fair,
bring in the stun that will make it a
great exhibition. And then come and
see not only your own products. but
the many others that will be here. It
