have every assurance that the fair
to be held on the fair association
grounds on October 9Th, 7th and Sth,
will be the best ever held in this dis

ing taken in the fair this year by the
farmers and stock men of the county
as a majority are stockholders of the
| fair association. Then, too, large cash
prizes are being offered this year
The total amount OF the premium
money to be used this year is double
that used last year.
Every person in Boundary county
who wishes to assist in making the
annual fair a success this year should
make it point to bring some sort of
an exhibit or display. There is
enough extra fine farm and garden

display. All that is required is that
little interest and energy necessary
to bring in the displays. Folks plan
ming to make exhibits are urged to
make their entries a few days ahead
