EVENING.
Redwood County is now ready for
her forty fifth annual County Fair
and the big event comes off next week
starting Tuesday and continuing
through the Friday evening program.
Indications are that the 1918 Fair
will hold it's own in the record made
by the fairs of the past several years,
during which Redwood County has
won her title as having the biggest
and best county fair anywhere in
southwestern Minnesota.
Farmers have just reaped a Won
derful crop and therefore are pre-
pared to make an exhibit which will
undoubtedly exceed in size and quail
ity the exhibit of the past yeas. Pre-
parations are being made for unusu-
ally large exhibits of live. stock and
the barns have all been put into a
thorough repair, in order that the ex-
hibits may be well taken care of.
New Hog Barn.
At the request of several promin-
ent hog raisers in the County the
Board of Management has decided
that new hog barn is necessary and
will have one erected on the site of
the present pens at the rear of the
stock barns. Accommodations will be
made for about fifty exhibits and it
is rumored that this hog exhibit is
to be made up of some of the best
pure-bred stock in the state, the
men who make "a speciality of hog
! breeding having determined to make
the most of the excellent accomoda-
! lions which will be offered in the new
building.
A War Fair.
Naturally, this fair like all other
fairs in the state will be more or less
Of war fair, and the exhibits will
all be of interest because of their
showing what the county is doing in
war production and war saving. The
woman's exhibit of baked and canned
foods will be entirely along the lines
laid out by the Food Administration
and will consist of foods made with
substitute flours, fruits canned with
the minimum of sugar and special
war cookery. This should make this
particular exhibit one of the most
interesting and instructive the coun-
ty has ever seen.
Amusements.
! While the interesting parts of the
fair are always it's exhibits, the am
usement features have been we'll look
ed after for the coming fair. A good
eld-fashioned pike" with merry
go-round, Ferris wheel and all the
other things enjoyed by the children
from six to sixty has been arranged
for and will undoubtedly prove, as
popular as always.
The free attractions promise to be
especially good this year. The pro-
gram consists of four big acts as fol
lows:
The Crane Family-a group of sen.
sational acrobats who do perfectly
hair raising things in perfectly non.
chalent manner.
Princess White Cloud-a daughter
of the Sioux who sings real American
Songs and does it in costumes which
add much to the effectiveness of tn.
Indian Folk songs which she sings.
Wagner and Bruhn-a roller skate
team which is said to be an artistic
pair in doing wonderful things on thu
skiddery rollers.
The Burtinos-booked as sensation
al wire cyclists and "15-foot man.
