FAIR JULY 7 AND 3

Plans are we'll under way for the
big Bottineau County Fair to be held
here July 6, and 8. The 7th and 9Th
will be the two big program days.
The big advertising campaign is on
this week, the directors being busy
spreading the posters in all directions.
Indications at this time point to the
largest fair we have ever held in Bot
tineau.
Of interest to livestock exhibitors
is the decision of the board of direct
ors to pay one-half Of freight on car
lots of stock where it is necessary for
them to ship their stock. This applies
to Bottineau county only, and cars are
limited to a minimum of six head of
horses or cattle or ten of sheep or
hogs to car. This will enable exhib-
itors to ship jointly in one car if they
do not have full carload themselves.
Exhibitors should not feel at all reti-
cent about showing their stock on ac-
count of their not being in show con-
dition this year. In fact, on account of
the feed shortage there will be no
"show fitted" stock in the county and
breeders are all in the same boat in
this regard. So, look your herds over
and bring out your best. They will
make better showing than you think
when lined up awaiting for the blue
ribbons. Remember it is Of great i'm
portance to the fair to have a good
display of livestock.
Women exhibitors should be careful
to look up the prizes, both regular
and special in the dairy, culinary and
home economics departments. Let us
have a good display of good old fash
ioned dairy butter this year as well
as full bill-of-fare in culinary, and
see that the classes are we'll filled all
down the line. This is one of the
greatest departments of our fair and
we trust it will be up to the usual
high standard this year.
The amusement program promises
to be- strong and the ball games will
be of special interest. Brandon will
play two games on the 9Th. In the
morning will play Bottineau and at
Y P. M. they play the winners of the
first days game which will be fought
out between Rugby and Wolford
teams. These games will be hotly con-
tested and will be big card. Botti-
neau won the Brandon series this sea-
son and Brandon is going to get ~us''
at fair time. Wolford and Rugby are
playing fast ball this season and the
contest between these two teams
promises to be of great interest.
Horse races promise to be a big
feature and we look for well filled
races and keen contests all the way
through. The horse races and free
acts will intersperse and make con-
tinuous afternoon program Of events
we'll worth more than the price Of ad-
mission to the fair. We will also have
the Flying stunts by Lieut.. Fladeland
who will stage Is different stunts in
fancy and perilous flying. He will also
carry passengers. rG.:
The big Carnival Company, will be
here with three big riding devices,
Merry -go-round, Flying Corrusel and
Ferris wheel.) Several tent shows,
Motordome, ETC. Il
The Midway promises to be an in
teresting thoroughfare as many con-
cessions are already booked. Patrons
will be able to buy anything from
peanuts to kewpies.
The ladies Of the Lutheran and
Presby yterian churches will serve
meals on the fair grounds in the Big
