The Premium List, Which is the Larg.
est Ever Issued, Now Ready
for Distribution.
Exposition Opens August Fl and
Closes August 25-Get Your
Exhibits Ready in Time.

In less than three weeks the Mile
Laos county fair will open for the
twenty-ninth time in that number of
years. From very small beginning
this annual exposition has grown un-
till it is now admitted to be equal to
the best in any county of the state,
and as the years roll by it will become
of greater Importance for the farmers
have taken more and more interest in
its development and success. Its
board of directors is made up Of farm
ers and business men, who are elected
annually, and all of whom are deep
ly interested in the welfare of the
county and are putting forth every eff
fort to make this years fair eclipse
by a large margin any previous ex-
position held here.
The premium list, copies of which are
now being distributed, contains
awards in every department which
should not fail to attract numerous
exhibitors and keen competition. The
total amount appropriated for prizes
this year is greater than last by a
substantial amount
The opening day of the fair will be
Saturday, August Fl, and all entries
except live stock must be made on that
date. Live stock may be entered up
to 10 o'clock on Monday morning,
August %. This provision was made
SO that exhibitors will not have to
keep their cattle, etc., in the barns over
Sunday. The fair will close on We'd
nesday evening, August 25.
Lest persons contemplating entering
agricultural exhibits forget, it would
be well for them to select their dis
plays as early as possible during their
spare moments so that they may OBJ
tain the very best specimens their
farms have produced When selected
at the last moment and in haphazard
manner the best results are scarcely
ever obtained. Many a farmer has
exhibited specimens of vegetables,
grains, etc., which were not nearly as
good as some he had left at home,
merely because he made the selection
in hurry.
Live stock entries should be especi-
ally good this year as the farmers of
Mile Laos county are rapidly acquir-
ing full-blooded animals because they
have found it pays. This is especially
true with dairy cattle, of which Mile
Lacs county has some Of the finest in
the state. Speaking of pure-bred ami
mails, the Mile Laos County Live Stock
Breeders association will hold a sale
of cattle, hogs, sheep, etc., on August
"a at the fair grounds.
Arrangements have been perfected
for great variety of amusement fea-
lures, which will comprise the flying
circus, consisting Of an airplane pilot
ed by Lieut., Larabee, known as the
Flying Squirrel" who will give two
exhibitions each day, demonstrating
looping the loop, barrel rolls, spirals,
vertical Fights, reversements, tail
spins and the falling leaf; also a five
mile race with falcon or hydroplane,
wireless radio exhibition and free
air flight each day to the most popu-
lar young lady and young man: the
Gordons and Kangaroo, in two acts
daily; Big Bob, the almost human
fighting machine; the Rando Trio.
acrobats and tumblers; the FLYING
Valentines, a combination ring and
trapeze; extra attractions on the
evenings of Aug. "a and Is, 'The Bat
tie ct Vcrdun" and "The World in Ro-
tation," produced by pyrotecl1nics;
horse and foot races, baseball games
and concerts. 1t would be difficult to
arrange more elaborate program of
amusements and sports.
If everyone will now turn in and do
his or her bit this years county fair
is bound to be an unprecedented sue
cess.
Go to it!
