cause Of Immense Amount
Of Work Involved

A general organization as to location
and space Of the various exhibits at
the Eleventh Annual Midland Empire
Fair at Billings, September IA, Is, 16
and II, is being planned by J. NJ.
Bresnahan, manager Of the fair. De-
cisions have been made by the fair
board as to the character Of the ex-
hibits this year in the new agricul-
tural building, built last year at a
cost Of over $4,000. Plans for the ex-
hibits In the main auditorium are also
announced by Manager Bresnahan.
Entries this year should be made
unusually early, regardless OF when
the exhibit itself Is brought IN. II
should not be necessary to make en-
try at the time the exhibit is brought
here to the fair; the entries should be
made several days before the Fair
opens.
Over 10000 Entries In 1928
For the 1925 Fair, 1929 entries
were made, representing nearly 5000
people making the entries. Thus 1t
will readily be seen that the amount Of
clerical work involved Is enormous,
and persons making entry this year
will confer a great favor upon the fair
management through making entries
at least a week or two before the fair
opens In September.
Many Farm Displays
Every county in the state Of Mon
tana and northern Wyoming has been
sent an invitation to exhibit at Mon
tana's greatest fair, according to Man
ager Bresnahan. Already a large
number Of these counties have re-
spOnded so that we can safely say
that the county exhibits will far eZ-
coed the 1925 fair. According to To-
cation plans in the $4,000 agricultural
building, spaces are app%ortiOned for %
or more county exhibits and also the
Yellowstone county exhibit on both
sides with a double row in the center
the full length Of the building. A
space for judges work will be re-
served in the center the same as last
year.
Variety Of Exhibits Planned
Sufficient space has also been re-
served to house all the Boys and Girls
club work in the same building. Be
sides this. other exhibits will include
all butter. milk and cheese products
Of the dairy department and the honey
display from the apiary department.
Special displays will also include
the United States range condition ex
hihit by the forestry service and 9
large display from the Canadian gov
eminent. The total floor space avail
able in the building is 16,5OO square
feet.
Automobiles in Auditorium
In the main auditorium. the booths
along the sides Of the building will con
iinuc to be occupied by business
houses and special industrial exhibits
as in former years. The entire cen
trail part Of the building will be devOt
ed to the 100000 automobile show
the location Of which created so favor
able an impression last year. It is ex
pected the auto display will be the big
geSt and most complete ever held here

which are being arranged for. Tw
fox farms near Billings will make
display showing value Of furs, cOnd
lions under which the foxes are raise
and other educational features of tn
