COUNTY FAIR
SEPTEMBER 4.5.6.7
HAS FINE PROGRAM
SPORT COMMITTEE PROMISES A
BIG PROGRAM OF RAcEs-Ex-
HlsITs TO BE GOOD
AS Fair Time Approaches, Interest
in Progress of Phillips County
Fair Grows Stronger

Tho horse races that will take place
at the Phillips County Fair will form
one of the most attractive items in
the whole list of entertainment, for
arrangements are being made that will
assure the presence of a group of the
fastest horses making the fairs and
meets in this section
Holyoke is member of the Colo
rado-Nebraska racing circuit and as
result will have the benefit of the
presence OF speedy horses playing the
circuit. Grant, Holyoke, Imperial,
Benkelman and Culbertson are fortun-
ate in having their fair dates follow
each other consecutively. so that the
horsemen may travel in a direct line
following the course of the fairs and
race meets.
Exhibit plans are practically matur-
ed. with nice group OF exhibits as
sured. Especial care is being taken
of the livestock on many farms, in
preparing those animals to grab of
prizes at the fair.
Advertising has begun in the var
ious papers OF the county this week.
to aid in properly fixing the fair dates
of September 4. s. 6. and 7. in the
minds Of the people for miles around.
Automobile banners and windshield
sticksrs further advertising the fair.
will soon be on the groand, and may
be obtained at the newspaper offices
of the county. These are a valuable
aid in the necessary publicity. as well
as credit to any automobile wearing
them.
The rain last might assures a big
corn crop. and makes it possible for
the fair this year to have wonderful
group OF corn exhibits. The samples
OF wheat which were secured by pro-
gressive farmers were fine, and pros
poets look the best in years for the
exhibit competition at the Phillips
County Fair.
Following is the speed program
as Is now lined up to take place during
the four days at the fair:

DRIVING WITH BORROWED
LICENSE NOT so CHEAP

Mr.. Scoll, who lives north of Paoll
was arrested here this week and fined
IS and costs which amounted to $2s,
for driving car with borrowed
license plate.
This should be warning to the
ones who don't own a license. 1t
only takes one time to buy the Ii
cense plate. and why not buy them
the first of the year and save worry
and trouble, In case license plate
is found return it to the County Clerk
and the owner will be likely to get
1t.

with a snarl to the effect that now

boy in the faded blue blouse disap-
peared without a whimper. I stood
glazing at the ugly man in the brown
suit, wondering why none of the men

witnessing this act of bullying,
made never a move in defense of
the boy. One boy alone in the crowd

in a fine Packard sedan drawn up
at the curb. Not one of them made

Ny instinct desired me first to look
after the boy. just to let him know
that the world isn't all rotten and
hateful and hard. Then I wanted to
