The Laird O. Willow Grove, j. B.
Russell and County Agent Aamodt
attended the livestock sale at Cando
last Saturday. ]. B. reports that there
was am excellent consignment / of
Shorthorns offered and sold. The
5Cando fellows are q good lot and
from reports there will be several ov-
er to our Fair. Mr.. White had plan
ned on making the trip too, but for
same reason had to back out.
Messrs. George Bell and VIM. Rem
ton, of Deloraine, Manitoba, will as
sist with the. placing Of awards in
some Of the livestock departments
again this year. These gentlemen are
both prominent Manitoba farmers and
keen1y interested il. livestock affairs.
B Time is creeping along and we are
beginning to get on edge for the big
event which from present plans wiI
be 3 great Fair.
In the past we have had some ex-
perience with people who try to
dodge the gate restrictions and "get
by so to speak, without paying.
Special attention is directed this year
toward safeguarding the interests Of
the Fair at the outer gates and also
at the side-llnes. If the Bottineau
County Fair is not worth double the
price ef admission to anyone wishing.
q good days entertainment, or as
viewed from the educational point Of
view it would be well to discontinue
it entirely. So, with this in mind the
management plan on tightening the
girder SO as to prevent these abuses
to exist III the future. All ahead for
i square deal. b
S. ii. Wilson, Secretary.
