Redwood Prepares For Big County
Fair Sept. 24th, 18th, 18th, 18th

program assures complete enter
tainment for each of the three even
ings.
Grounds.
Under the direction of C. O. Borg
the grounds and race track have
been put in their usual first class
condition. A well of drinking water
will be found near the industrial build
ing this year, and will prove an ac-
comodation to the visitors. The track
is in excellent condition and Judge A.
C. Dolliff anticipates that the races
will be satisfactory, as the Redwood
races always are. Entries for race
horses closed Tuesday and a full an
nouncement of the racing material
and program will probably be made
within few days.
Finances.
By careful management the Board
of Directors is enabled to give the
programs this year at practically the
same price as in former years In
spite of increased cost of positively
everything that goes toward making
good fair. Admission fees have
been left the same and the only change
is that charge of fifty cents will be
made for each automobile or other
vehicles entering the grounds. Prac-
tically every fair in this section has
been making this charge for the past
several years, but the local board
has been reluctant to do it. This
year, however, it was decided to make
this charge for the daytime program
thus overcoming some of the extra
cost of the fair. No one who has the
interest of the fair and the county
at heart will complain at this reason
able and modest request of the man
agement that the public assist in this
way to bear each his share of the in
crease. No charge will be made fol-
vehicles for the evening shows. Sea.
son tickets may be purchased for We.
hicles, and cars and teams will ther
be permitted to drive in and out al
they choose. The number of occu
pants of the car does not effect the
price which is fixed at fifty cents.
Special Exhibits.
Just what the special exhibits will
be can not be stated at this time a.
they have not all been arranged fol
as yet. 1t is known that there will
be a large and interesting exhibit o.
Red Cross work under the County
chairman, Mrs. Margaret Little, ant
the Y. w. c. A. War Fund Commute.
will also have an exhibit under thu
direction Of the County chairman
Mrs. H. N. Bell who will be assisted BY
several young ladies.
1t is expected that the Farmer.
Clubs of the county will also provide
one or two of the exhibits which were
SO greatly admired last year There
will also be number of interesting
exhibits in the special buildings locat
ed on Che grounds such as the Farrell
and Keefe, the Jaehning Bros. exhibits
as well as the exhibits of various 9th
er dealers in implements etc.

General England relative 20 the pT'pa-
