This is the last opportunity we
will have to call your attention to the
County fair which will be held in
Burns September 80 and October
and 2.
Have you a. resident OF Harncy
county given this matter the thought
and attention II descrves?-or are
you just simply letting the matter
aide with tho thought OF Sure It's
q fine thing but I haven't the time
to go or even II do 10 won't take
anything"
II you are coming at all do you
intend TO coms merely for the pur-
pose Of seeing who Ia there and to
pvesibiy criticise the efforts Of those
Who are working hard to make the
fair q success or are you coming to
Join In the spirit Of heipfuiness that
prevails and help put II across In a
manner that viii make the annual
county fair a necessity and q fixture
instead OF only q possibility.
The burden of instiiiing and main
tanning life In the county fair move
ment has developed upon n few mon
and women who have faith In Har-
ney county. These people should
not, cannot and will not bear the
burden again unless you the individ-
ual and community show your In
tcrest In the project not only by your
attendance but also by either ex-
hlhi,,tg or inducing other more
fortunate than yourself to do so.
Our community. county, and state
fairs are held for n distinct purpose
to stimulnte and develop not only
better stock and crops but also TO de-
velop a better community spirit.
whcn yos develop either or both
OF the above you advertise TO the
world the possibilities OF your com
munity and thereby induce new peo-
pie TO settle and invest In business or
lands and thereby without concious
effort on your part you increase the
valuation of your own business OF
lands far out of proportion to any
expenditure OF time or money made
by you TO support your fair.
There In no one In n community
who should not be Interested In
county fair. regardless OF trade or
profession.
For In some manner the s'imula-
tlnn OF better crops better stock ana
closer community interest affects
every man woman or child In the
community.
We desire 10 repeat that the only
way 10 make fair success IN Tor
every one To exhibit their products
and attend themselves.
Too often YOU might think that
you have nothing worth exhibiting
and then you attend tho fair ana
find that you had better at home.
Whenever You admit that the pro-
ducts shown IN any particular line
are not as good as you have at home
you are admitting that you are not
doing your part In placing the ad-
vantages of your community or coun-
~ In it's best light before the world
You still have few days LEFT be-
fore the opening date OF the fair ana
even admitting that you have here
tofore had no intention OF making an
exhiblt--why not change your mind
and II you cannot find the time TO
prepare full individual exhibit Just
cali up the committee In your COM
munity and tell them that you nave
a few good specimen Of garden OF
field produce that will help them
win that community prize-come on
now friend be a sport for once ana
call up that committee or get that
axhibIt ready---DO 1T NOW.
