fair, who would attend Beltram county g falr, pro-
vided the attraction here was great enough to
warrant attendance. %s t
u, Bemidii, situated as it is, is sure TO become "a
mecca for county fair visitors provided that the
right methods are pursued in staging the ceebra-
tons in years to come. "A celebration it must be,
and not a lf-hearted entertainment from which
visitors will return to their homes other than thor
oughlyt satisfied &EtEr 1 NH f5s-|#
One thing which IS badly needed at the fair
grounds here is cattle and horse show building
worthy in every way Of being called. SUCH show
and sales pavilion which would be OF general bene-
fit to the community in other than fair time as
well, would be- the proper solution to this need.
H. Although Beltralni county's fair is good, even
better than large number Of county fairs, II must
be better than any other county fair in order to
be- the success which is demanded in order to insure
the prominence which Bemidji and Beltfami county
adores, H. ~ 81, NJ gf ~ ~ 4 vEt5 aSE$FS
Plans have already been made for much larger
event next year, it is said. That is very proper.
But unless the plans pushed as much as possible
from now until next years exhibition, the early
start viii not have done much good. CO .s,..5S E
Beltrami's citizens can readily see, as result OF
the showing this county always makes at the state
fair that it does not lack in material for first class
exhibits in agriculture. With increased interest
in stock raising, the live stock exhibits should
also become Of higher grade. But here again
comes the call for suitable place for exhibiting
such stock s .....gt - =. e.. E =4S-4, :,
With the material available and with the funds
which were raised this year; the fair association
staged an entertainment which was in several ways
lacking. It failed to hold the good will Of all its
visitors, especially those who had a long dis
lance expecting 4 proportonate equal to the state
fair. Prizes not sufficient to attract competition
alone. -. - ~ .~tss &.:tssE-@:S 5.
The Beltrami, County Agricultural association is
not to be blamed, however. It is to be compile
mented and complimented highly for its work
( Managing fair under the conditions in which this
years fair was staged is even more and harder
work than managing "a fair such as should be- Bel
trami county's aim. -. j @>S@sz,-
Every citizen in the entire county must do his
or her part and if that part is not done it should
be done, that is not the fault of the association.
Bemidji is pleased to have had so many visitors
this year and extends to all a hearty welcome and
a generous invitation to attend next years fair
with the assurance that the visit will prove even
more enjoyable. -. !

Because Of Big Entry List Of

Oman Golf Champion,

TOLEDO. o., Aug. love are all
awaiting the call to the first tee in
the open championship. The list was
swelled late yesterday afternoon by
the addition OF several more entries,
which brings the total UP TO 270
This means that only one in FIVE will
qualify and adds greatly to the dan
ger OF some OF the stars being left
behind. In a field with as much class
as this. one has doubts whether any
player with two rounds that total
worse than 15e will get in.
Surely some golfers who have no
chance to win the title will qualify
and crowd out a few good ones who
are temporarily Off their game; but
IL is a fair break for all and the man
with a lot OF alFbis after the finish
of to-night's play will have a hard
time in finding an audience.

If Vardon and Ray Are
Pushed Out of Way There
Will Be Nothing to Fear
From Rest of Foreigners.
By William Abbott.
Especial Staff Correspondent Of The
Evening Worldly


TOLEDO. o., Aug. 1O.-The Ameri-
can open golf championship started
to-day on the Inverness links at an
hour when the neighborhood farmers
were just getting on the job in the
wheat fields. Before o'clock the first
pair Of players left the starting tee.
Thereafter at short intervals leading
professionals and amateurs from six
countries were embracing in the open
ing round OF what promises to be the
greatest golf battle ever held in the
United States. The competing field
numbered go and never before were
so many champions lined up to seek
the national title now held by Walter
Hagen.
Back in 1918 at Brookline Francis
Oulmet, then an unknown lad Of
twenty years, prevented our blue RIB
bon OF the links from going to Eng
land when he fought his way to q
triple tie with Harry Vardon and Ted
Ray, and then soundly defeated tho
famous British champions in a sensa-
tlonal eighteen-hole play off. Seven
years later the same team OF Britons
look up as menacing factors in an
American championship. AT Brook
line 1t was Vardon, six times holder
OF the British title, who was mos
feared.

have been reversed, and to-day 1t II
