will be joy and good cheer in large

days of the coming week.
President Harding of the fair asso-

girls have been doing in agriculture
and home economics. Second, 1t is to
furnish line of entertainment and
amusement that win steal from tho
hum-drum of life its edge; through
the thrilling and happy maze Of which
entertainment the crowds will look
upon the results Of their laborious
handiwork without seeing the drab of
the effort. The rodeo, the carnival,
the music and dancing viii be there,
as well as the cow, the horse, the grain
and the results of the housewives toll.
The entries already made and prom
ised indicate larger exhibit Of eat
tie, horses and hogs than in previous

The city will be gaily decorated FOR
the occasion, each business house hav-
