BETTER THAN LAST YEAR
 County Fair Commissioner Nelse Lind is authority for the statement that not only to have County Fair this year but that will be very much better than the breaker of last year.
 He says he has been badly handicapped for the lack funds up the present time to make campaign of public

 However it better late than never to set the ball roll ing
 We to have County Fair, and that should mean that Yuma county will have the best county fair the tire southwest We have exhibit than any county the state, and of vastly better quality The premium list shows that all prizes are larger than last year. and this should be than pleasing those who expect pete for them.
 The last legislature passed bill authorizing the state treasurer pay 5000 each and every county the that would contribute like amount for county fair pur- poses That gives Yuma county $2OOO for the board of pervsors did actually aside 5000 for county fair pur- poses and that money available though under stand the fair commissioner present sworn statements the effect that such and such sum has been actually pended before he ger any funds of the county super visors. That may be the right way do the work but will require Commissioner Lind to dig down in his trouser pockets quite deep times in order the expenses he will find it necessary to incur But Mr. Lind should not mind this when it is known he is the biggest pautry in the county and that eggs worth almost their weight in gold And for chickens, why they simply of sight, almost like hogs.
