Thursday, September 4, 5, 6 and z,
and all that remains to be done is to
care for the big crowds that are ex-
pected to attend it.
For several days the fair grounds
have been filled with autoes and wag-
ons heaped high with educational ex-
hibits, tents and stands for concess-
ions, and decorations Much of this
work has been finished and only a
few finishing touches must be made
to put things in complete readiness
for the visitors. "
The liberality of the fair manage
ment in offering premiums totaling
$4,000 for all kinds of educational
exhibits has attracted an unusual
large list of exhibitors of all kinds Of
products. The livestock show will be
particularly interesting. The finest
stock in this section will be exhibi
ted.
Competition in the women's work
department is keen, and the smell OF
prize cooking will tantaliZe many.
Boys and girls have entered many
exhibits from farm and garden, and
the grownups will have to hustle to
beat some of them in instances where
old and young are permitted to COM
pete against each other,
I'VE believe our fair will surpass
any other ever held here" said Sec
retary Wollthan, today. There has
been a greater interest in the fair
this year than ever before. We feel
that our big educational show is not
responsible alone for the greater in
terest, but the splendid entertain
ment program, too. We have
planned an amusement program
which will keep visitors on their
toes from morning until evening"
