COUNTY FAIR IS
HERE NEXT WEEK
WITH A YEAR OF UNRIVAlED
cRoPs-PRosPERITY REACH.
ING OUT ON EVERY SIDE.
THIS YEARS FAIR WILL Be BIG EVENT
The Best County Fair in the North
west Will Show Supremacy Of
Bookings County.

Next Tuesday is the entry and
opening day of the best fair in the
whole state, there is no reason why,
when We have such tremendous crops
and such fine stock, that this year
should not be the greatest year Of
displays that the county has ever
seen. To do this it is necessary for
every man woman and child who can
make an exhibit, to get busy and
bring the very best things that pre-
miums are offered for. The premium
list is generous, the buildings are
commodious and the management will
offer every facility for making these
displays speak for the fertility of our
soil and the thrift Of our farmers. If
you have only one thing of excellence
bring hat and by your single endeav-
or help to swell, what in our opinion
will be the biggest aggregation Of ex-
hibits that have eve been gotten to-
SelnIeI On d county IAN SiOuHu'
The exhibits will be a speaking ties
timonial Of the value of our land and
will convince the home-seeking visit
or and the renter, that it is a good
thing to invest money in Bookings
county. 1t will also increase the
value Of your own land to be able to
show what it is capable of producing.
In doing what you can to make this
fair the success that the reputation
of the county demands that it should
be, you are not doing something for
nothing. In fact you are only help
ing advertise your own prosperity and
ability, only helping to boost your
own success, when you come to the
county fair with an exhibit Of the
produce of your farm, be it stock,
grain, vegetables or poultry.
The county superintendent Of
schools is working overtime to get
together a school and children's dis
play that will beat that of last year.
And when You remember that last
year We beat everything in the state
at Huron, you will admit that he has
taken up a big job. Help him TO do
it for the honor and glory of the
county.
The displays in the Woman's build
ing is another place where Brookings
county has always beaten every COM
petitOr. Almost as much space was
taken last year for what the m
of the county brought, as was taken
at the state fair. If the women of
the county failed to make a show at
the county fair, it might as well shut
up shop. They are the real boosters
when il comes to showing what they
can accomplish. We certainly hope
success OF this department,
We have looked over the list of the
superintendent, and every n is Sc
lected, we think, with particular fit
ness for the place. We feel assured
that all those who make exhibits, will
be pleased with their work and cour-
teous attention.
When it comes to amusements, the
management has made some very
good promises, and it will only be
unavoidable accidents that Will keep
these from being kept. The free acts
are advertised as being exceptionally
fine. and Secretary Cole tells US that
he has promises from more than thir-
ty horses to be present and partici-
pate In the racing. If they all come
1t will make this department more of
a success than it has been in several
years.
The fireworks will be supreme eff
fort Of entertainment. Gorgeous dis
plays will occur on three nights and
each evening will see beautiful tab
leaux enacted with handsome young
women and fine young men taking
parts in patriotic pictures. This is a
new departure in the way of empha-
sizing the rich display Of fireworks
and is creating a furore all over the
country wherever shown. 1t will not
do to miss the night shows at the
fair. They will be even better than
last year. and those were certainly
fine and pleasing.
Now, reader, do not forget that this
fair Is your fair, il you are a Brook
ings county nerson. and II II fails il
