Other Attractions.
Well, what are they going to have
at the Mile Laos county fair this
year? Same old line Of prize pump
kins, "hoss" races, "feet" races and
few more of the same old attractions
that have got little stale from over
use? I should say not. You tell 'em,
Bill, I'll mark time, so I'll be in good
shape not to miss any Of the biggest
and best county fair that was ever
pulled off in this part of the state.
The new management has spared
neither time, money or efforts in gath
ering together the most stupendous,
thrilling, daring and Instructive line
of attractions and entertainments that
was ever assembled for a three-day
fair in this section Of the state of
Minnesota.
Every day of the fair you will have
la chance to see in front Of the grand
stand the big comedy feature, the
Gordons and kangaroo, in two acts;
Big Bob, the almost human fighting
machine; the RAINBOW Trio, acrobats
and tumblers; the Flying Valentines,
a combination flying and trapeze per-
Torrance in three acts.s
Another big feature will be the
Flying Circus, consisting of an air
plane piloted by Lieut., Larabee, known
as the "Flying Squirrel" who will
|give two exhibitions each day, demon
strating looping the loop, barrel rolls,
zimmerman, spirals, vertical Fights,
reversements, tail spins, and the fall
ing leaf. Also five mile race between
the airplane and the falcon, or rae
ing car. The falcon is a huge freak
|ish-looking hydroplane built on mo-
tor car having a speed of 60 miles an
hour, but does not leave the ground.
The flying circus will also include a
wireless radio exhibition conducted by
Lieut.. Commander G. Il. Fort and five
sailor boys from the Great Lakes sta
ton. A free airplane ride each day
will be given to the most popular
young lady and young gentleman.
Another new feature will be the
evening performance in front of the
grandstand, which will include not
only the entertainers appearing on the
afternoon program but also magnif-
cent display of fireworks on the even
ings of August "a and IS. On the
evening Of August "a there will also be
the extra pyrotechnic exhibition en-
titled the Battle of Verdun," and on
the evening of August 25 another
large and extra fireworks feature, the
CIV orld in Rotation
Arrangements are also being made
for strong card of baseball-su such
teams as Anoka, Milaca, Princeton and
Others contending for the baseball
championship of this neck of the
| woods.
There will be something going on
all the time. Something for the old,
the young, and the middle aged. And
last, but not least, there will be a good
old-fashioned merry -go-round for the
kiddies. There will be dances in the
armory at night and band concerts on
the streets and at the grounds.
The fair comes little earlier than
usual this year, so that there will be
no conflict of dates with the fairs of
adjoining counties. Saturday, August
Fl, is entry day, and all exhibits except
live stock must be in by 6 p. m. All
live stock exhibits must be in by II
a. m, Monday, August 49, Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday will be the
three big program days, Tuesday be-
ing "Milaca Day." when the Milaca
Military band will have the center of
the stage and the fast Milaca ball team
will thresh it out to finish with the
Princeton club.
Without doubt the 1920 Mile Laos
county fair is going to be hummer,
and if you don't get your share of it
it's nobody's fault but your own. It's
going to be there and stay there for
three big days. All you have to do is
to come early, stay late, and take in
the whole show. Bring your family
with you and if you haven't a family
bring your best girl, or somebody else's
family or best girl. It doesn't make
any difference how you come or who
you bring, just SO you get there.
