On account of the bad condition of
the roads the route originally plan
ned for the cross country automobile
races Tuesday, opening day of the
Latah County Fair, has been changed.
Instead of going from Colfax to Pull
man direct over the Pullman road, af-
ter leaving Colfax the racers will go
over the Pullman road to Albion, from
Albion to Kitzmiller warehouses, and
from there west to the Riley Knight
school house from where, turning
south, they will proceed over the hill
to the Creek road between Moscow
and Pullman and into Moscow on
Third street, thence back to the
judges stand at the fair grounds.
Moscow People at COlfax
Ten cars and about fifty boosters
for the Latah County Fair went to
Colfax yesterday and attended the
Whitman County Fair in progress
there this week. They distributed fair
advertising matter among the Whit
man county people, and took in the
Attractions playing in Colfax this
week which are to appear here dur
ing the fair next week. The balloon
ascension and the four parachute
drops, the visitors declare, was worth
the whole price of admission to any
fair. Attendance at Colfax was good,
and the Whitman County Fair prom
ises to be one of the most successful
ever held in that county, the visitors
say.

any of the children are crippled and
not able to- march, we can arrange for
them. We would like to have the diff
ferent schools carry banners, pen
nants or wear colors, something to dis
each one Pupils and teachers
must be at Davids' corner OH Third
street not later than l o'clock SO that
the line of march may start about 1:15. i
They will proceed down Third street
and enter the northeast gate, making
the distance to be walked shorter than
last year.
Want Exhibits on Time
'For the sake of the boys and girls,
try to get their exhibits in not later
than Tuesday noon, especially those
Of children enrolled in the clubs
sewing, potato, cooking, garden, pig,
chicken, ETC. Last year number who .
carried their projects through did not
get their sports and exhibits in be-
cause no grownup took interest enough
to help them. In many districts work =
lone in school last year was packed
away to be preserved for the fair. G
Please make an effort to find it and II
send it to me-" 81
