PROwERS COUNTY FAIR
Big Event Is Attracting Large Crowd
From All Sections of the Valley

The Prowers County Fair opened
its gates on Tuesday for the first
time in two years, and the first two
days indicate that it will be one of the
biggest fairs ever held in the state
from the standpoint of crowds and en-
tertainment. The exhibits are not
large This has been a year when al
though fine crops were raised owing
% the increased acreage and shortage
Of help the farmers have been too busy
to pay any attention to making dis
plays, and the high prices prevailing
make the premiums Of little value.
The programs of races and wild
west exhibitions, however, are as good
as any ever given to the public in the
state, and large crowds are attending
each day and enjoying them. The
crowds on the streets are growing fast
and it looks as if the popularity of
the fair will grow right along. The
races both horse and auto are the best
seen here in a long time and the only
harness races that will be held in
Colorado this year are those in La
mar at this weeks fair. Dances and
other amusements are being held each
evening in the city and there is some
thing for the crowd to do all of the
time.

continuance of the popular favor and
big patronage which this company has
enjoyed ever since it has been in bus
mess here.

fair grounds have been given over to
the use of federal and state troops and
that they are at the present time oc-

that they may be moved in time to
permit a fair to be held by the com
mission, the state fair for the year of

Wholesome Food

Did you ever consider what difference
there is in biscuits, cake, mullins, etc,
made with Dr. Prices Cream Baking
Powder and those made with cheaper
baking powders containing alum or
phosphate?
DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder is
made with Cream of Tartar derived
from grapes, a delicious, healthful fruit,
and that is why it produces wholesome
food, superior in texture and keeping
quality.
Alum and phosphate are derived from
mineral acids, and the on ly reason for
using such substitutes for Cream of
Tartar is because their cost is very
much less to the manufacturer.
Remember this when buying baking
powder and be guided by the label on
the can, which gives the names Of all"
the ingredients.
