key, the fineste cows, the best chick
ems, the fattest man and woman, the
fastest horse races, the speediest auto
: and motorcycle races and the biggest
and best crowd you ever saw, come
to the Beltrami county fair Septem-
ber IL, 13 and IA.
The fair ASSOCIATION has this year
endeavored to give to the public
better program and bigger exhibit
and more prize money than ever.
The interest throughout the coun-
ty is decidedly encouraging, and
gives evidence that more exhibitors
will bring articles to the fair than
any previous year. -
It will be an educational and en-
tertaining exposition. The special
features along this line which have
not been shown before are the boys
and, girls stock judging contest and
the special exhibit of Guernsey COWS
competing for the silver cup given
by the Minnesota Guernsey Breeders
association to the cow having the best
official butterfat record for the year
ending July 3D., 1917.
Look Over Premiums.
The complete premium list appears
in this issue on another page which
tells the story from. A to 2 with; re-
gard to exhibits and pr1zes. One
of the most interesting sections, es-
DeciaI1y to the school children and
mothers, is that devoted to the Bel
trami county industrial contests.
Last year two districts completely
filled booths with their school work
and three state pennants and some
pins and diplomas we're awarded
this county. Indications this year
are that the display will be still a
<bieeer one and will afford a source
of attraction in itself.
The program which also appears
in it's entirety in this issue gives
a variety of entertainment and the
kind of sports in which all farmers
are urged to take part. The trot-
ting races by farmers horses on
Friday afternoon is attracting con-
siderable, attention. More entries,
however, are urgently sought ana
those VINO wish to- enter any OF the
races will confer a favor by notify
ing r. H. Denu at the Pioneer office
so that property entry might be
made.
AUTOMOBILE hdCcS.
On Thursday, the second day Of
the fair, there will be automobile
races. First will be the free-for-all
race for stock cars and the second
will be the Australian pursuit race.
At least three entries must be made
in these races. Auto owners who
wish to enter these races will no
tify E. H. Denu as early as possible
so that there will be no delay in
starting the race at the hour set
The "rooster race" the one Sec
retary Schroeder has been creating
so much excitement about ought to
be one in which the feathers will
fy all over the track. Instead of
having roosters compete as was first
thought by many, Mr.. Schroeder has
secured a fast sprinting bird which
he will set loose on the track and
send a bunch of kids after it. The
lad who catches the rooster will be
permitted to take home his prize.
No entries need be made in this race
as there will be plenty of little fel-
lows on the job when the time comes.
= Novelty Team ;9' Race ~ +,o

contestants will g. unharness their
teams, taking off every strap but the
bride and at the word &C., will
harness their teams, hitch to the
wagon and drive once around the
track This is the race which caused
so much excitement last year and
indications are that more entries
will be made this year than ever be-
fore.
