The Twenty-fourth Annual Fair of
the Mile Laos County Agricultural
society will be held at the handsome
exhibition grounds of the society at
Princeton, September Is, Is, II and
18, and the indications are that this
years exposition will surpass all pre-
vious fairs Of the society.
The officers and directors are spar
ing..no pains to make the fair a rec
ord breaker, and there is no doub
but what success will crown their
efforts. A special effort will be
made this year to have the exhibits
more varied than ever, and farmers
and their families of Mile Laos and
adjoining counties are invited and
urged to attend, compete for the pre-
miums and view the attractions and
exhibits.
The amusement program will be
more interesting than at any previ-
Gus fair, and the management will
spare no expense to entertain the
multitude. The feature attraction
will be the airship flights by Frank
Champion, who has won an enviable
reputation as an avitor. AS usual
the racing program will be an inter-
esting event, and all trials for speed
will be made under the rules of the
American Trotting association. Close
and exciting ball games between fast
and evenly matched ball teams will
be staged, and other sports will enter
tain and delight the spectators. Never
before has the fair offered such a
varied, extensive and interesting pro-
gram of attractions. 49,,
The 1915 fair will be visited by
Governor W. S. Hammond, who will
deliver an address, and United
States Senator Knute Nelson will
also be here if circumstances permit
The officers and directors cannot,
however,, make the fair success,
unless those having something to ex-
hibit lend their support. Liberal
inducements are held forth to exhi-
bitors, and as usual generous premi-
ums will be awarded to prize win
ners. Now is the time to plan your
exhibit. Elsewhere in this issue ap-
pears the premium list, and glance
at same will convince the most
skeptical that the premiums are we'll
worth competing for. The list in
booklet form will soon be ready for
distribution.
This year it is hoped that there
will be more township exhibits than
there were in 1914. Liberal premiums
are offered. and part of the expense
at least of getting exhibits to the
fair from remote towns will be paid
whether the exhibit is awarded a
premium or not.
All exhibits in this class must
have been grown in the township
making the display, and in the year
1915. Space will be assigned upon
application to the secretary, and ap.
plications for space must be made
not later than September Is. A
certain definite space will be allotted
to each township, and it is abso.
lutely necessary that the secretary
should know in advance the mum.
Der of towns that wish to make ex.
hibits so that each town may be
treated fairly in allotting space. II
possible outside judges will be Sc.
lected to judge the exhibits.
The exhibit from each town must
consist of not less than below desig.
