The next big event to take place in
Trego County is the 1919 session of
the Trego County Fair which is now
being advertised to take place on Sep
tember 9-10-11-12. The officers and
directors held special meeting last
Friday evening and closed up many

ments so that others can be readily
closed. Among the big attractions will
be an areoplane flight by Lieutenant
Fo1kner, an aviator in the United
States army. Clarks carnival com
pany viii furnish several attractions
There will also be several free attrac-
tions such as base ball games, an
aerial ball act, and horse races
Enough entries have been secured that
races than have been held at any pre-
vious fair, and when the entry list is
completed there will be a fine string
of fast horses on the list Live stock
exhibits will be larger than usual as a
car load or more of pure bred stock is
to be shipped ia here from Ellis and
other countless eeast. A car load of
pure bred live stock is also to be ship
ped from this county to the fairs in
Ellis and eastern counties. The COM
petition is going to be much closer
than heretofore and If a premium is
awarded it will represent quality in a
larger territory than heretofore The
management of the Fair Association
reports that much interest in exhibits
Is already being shown and good
fair is assured.

TREGO COUNTY HEIFER BRINGS
S2,5OO.OO

In the last issue of the American
Hereford Journal is the account of a
hereford sale recently conducted by ] !.
o. Southard, of Comisky, Kansas, in
which eighty head of herefords sold
at an average price of $482 per head.
The top individual of this sale was a
past two-year-o1d heifer or COW named
Dol1ie, which went to w. N. BIaney.
OF Denver, Colo, for $2,5OO.00. This
young COW was bred and grown in
Trego county by L. H. Galloway. on
the Galloway ranch on the Saline and
she was exhibited at the Trego County
FAIR last year by Mr.. Galloway. She
was one OF the herd shipped from the
galloway ranch to the State AgricuI-
tural College sale last Nav and
brought the highest individual price
OF any of those which were sold bv
him. Lew has taken considerable care
and pride in building up a first class
nerd and this sale is evidence that he
has some mighty good blood in the
herd. He is intending to exhibit some
more of his cattle at the Trego County
FAR this fall and is also planning on
shipping some of them to Hays and
other fairs on the Golden Belt circuit.

pose of raising $4,000 which will be

UNCLE SAM RECEIVED NO FOOD
ORDERS

Unless some order was received at
the last hour the people of this vicin-
ity will not purchase any of the gov
ernment food stuff which is being sold
and distributed from ST. Louis. Ac-
cording to the rules the articles had
to be shipped by parcel post and the
postal rate is SO high that there was
no profit in buying the goods. If the
government had been willing to de-
liver them to the freight Office as
well as to the post Office there would
have been an object in buying them.
However, we hope the goods will all
be sold without loss to the govern
ment, thus proving the method better
than selling the goods at auction at q
big loss.
