grounds in this city on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, August 81, % and 29.
The attractions are among the best
offered at any fair in the state, and the

\ ,pecting a record-breaking attendance.
Many of the citizens feel the same way,
and for the purpose of doing their share
to this end have volunteered to swell the
booster party tomorrow.
The first stop will be made at Searles,
going from there to Hanska, and taking
in the following towns: Comfrey, Spring.

and from there home, expecting to ar
rive sometime during the evening.

to carry their lunches with them, for
the reason that it is not known just where
1.-The party will be atnoon, and furthermore
CONSIDERABLE valuable time would be
taken Up in making a regular stop for
dinner.
Program Best Ever.
The program planned for the coming
fair is conceded to be the best that
has ever been prepared by the local
organization.
Monday, August 27, will be taken up
in arranging the displays, the fair proper
opening on Tuesday. For the first
lime there will be evening programs,
= and in many respects they will excel
those in the day time. ."
Besides the ball games, which will be
a big feature of the fair there will be
five free acts, equalling anything to be
seen at the state fair. These will be
given instead of the usual horse racing
program, and there is every reason to
believe this will prove much more at
tractive to the visitors.
The acts to be given include Howard
Fielding and Helen Carlos, champion
roller skaters of America; the six Corn
alias, original catapult acrobats and
trick bicycle riders, whose feats are
said to be really wonderful; the Ran
dow trio, who give two acts daily;
aeroplane flights, etc.
