All the business houses III Dld0h
foot have responded to the sugges-
tion or request of the fair associa-
tion that they buy season tickets for
all employees and plan to give them
lust as much of the week as they
can for fun and frolic.
Everybody who wants season
tickets should ask for them TUESDAY
and get the full benefits of low cost
and greatest convenience both to the
purchasers and to the management
of the fair. It Is easier to sell one
ticket to one person than to sell four
tickets at four different times to the
same person, and when this Is multi
piled by thousands it becomes big
| item in the work of conducting the
fair. Besides, who wants to pc
standing in line waiting to ouy
tickets when there is an Indian fignt
or a melon bust going on inside OF
the grounds.
Buy a season ticket, save money
ana time and have all the fun OF all
the sessions.
| v. s, Robinson was up from Poca-
telio Friday and said there Is much
interest there in our fair grounds
and the fair, and that Pocatello Is
coming up in such numbers as II
| never came before and iBlackfoot
people know that they have always
been good patrons of our fair.
Mr.. Robinson predicts that this
| will become an important annual
event in southern Idaho that peo-
/ ple will look forward to and plan to
attend, and learn more from and re-
cefNe greater benefits from with
each succeeding year. He says the
| the young folks of today usually at,
tend the fair to have good time az
lthey do at Fourth of July celebra.
| tions, but that they will gradually
awaken to the greater values ol
studying the exhibits and learning
how to make more money with more
careful work and by doing all things
with fixed purpose.
He saws he had the misfortune tc
get beaten out Of his day at our faii
in 1920 and has felt the loss al
along the year. 1t may not seen
like much of disappointment, but
it is, and others who have seen the
fair in past year and miss the
larger and more entertaining days o.
the present will have sense OF los'
that is not easily made up.
: Big Tents at the Fair
Owing to the entry Of more ex
hibits than there was room Tor II
the buildings, some temporar'
structures have been erected, an
the management secured the use o
one tent thirty feet square, anothe
one forty by sixty feet and one fort
by ninety feet in size and all tn
room in them is spoken for, and tn
!, installation of the exhibits has beel
going on all day Monday as we go t
