County Fair to
Be a Hummer

The Bingham county fair, the peo-
pies fair will be opened to the public
next Tuesday Large sums of money
have been expended to put the
grounds in first class shape and more
money will be spent on premiums
than ever before in the history of
southeastern Idaho fa1rdom.
There are prepared waterproof,
windproof, burglarproof buildings
for the exhibits; whatever anyone
brings will be safer than it is at
home-for there are no dogs to
worry the stock, no lack Of feed, no
danger of a run-off by burglarious
visitors. And the vegetables, fruits,
even the cakes and the pies for which
the Bingham county housekeepers
are famous will be far safer than
with hungry schoolboys at home when
mother isn't looking.
Represents Large Investment
The fair needs .$12,500 cash in
gate receipts to bring it clear. The
high cost of fair living has made
necessary the expenditure of $4,000
cash on the grounds and the pro-
gram. There are seventy-six new
sheep and hog pens; a fine COM
modious horse barn, cattle barn
that would be good enough for a
patent medicine makers prize farm;
spacious building where tractors
and other modernities will be shown
the old horticultural building is as
1t used to be, and the grand stand
is resplendent with new paint and
antiseptic spray. And the program
is one of the best ever shown in the
intermountain section.
1t takes money to buy all these
things; but they're worth it. Why,
the wild west and vaudeville and the
airplane and race stunts are going to
be hair-raising even for bald
headed man.
