Treasurer ing

Treasurer ing
"What They
say About Themseles," brings to
my mind that I am more inter-
ested in what others say about
me.
Permit me to quote from the
state examiners report: "The
office, under the direction of NAL
colin McDougal as county treasur-
er has been operated in an eff
cient and economical manner.
Warrant callshave been prompt
lv made. This is one feature Of
the operation of the office of coun-
ty treasurer in which every tax
payer is interested; reduction in
the amount paid out in warrant in
terest is a reduction in the amount
paid in as taxes. The average
daily bank balance, on which the
county receives 2 per cent, is re-
duced, but this receipt is more
than offset by the saving in war
rant interest. which. at the pres
ent time is 6 per cent; net saw
ing to the county as a whole, of
four per cent is made.
"The excellent condition in which
your examiner found the records
and accounts in this office helped
materially in reducing the time
required to make, not only the
county examination, but also the
examination Of the various irri-
cation and school districts"

STATE FAIR TO
BE WHIZZER
THIS YEAR
Fine Program Outlined
for Week at Yakima
New Features Added in
All Departments

The familiar sign "School-Go
Slow" need carry little warning
for passing motorists in town,
village or countryside of the Yak
ina valley on Monday. September
20, for on that day, designated as
Children's day-spelled with red
letters the big Washington State
Fair expects to celebrate its 18th
anniversary by entertaining every
youngster of "comeable or bring
able" size within its merry gates,
free.
Of course, it's not advisable to
be over IL years old. That's diff
ferent. But who in his teens wants
to be classed as mere child, any
how, even tho it should serve as
gate opener?
According to the plans on the
part of the management, the fair
will swing Immediately into its
full stride of gay pleasuring. The
attractions of the Midway will be
in active operation, the shows rar-
in to go, refreshment stands
freshly and fully equipped for
vending savory shot dogs" and
multi-hued beverages even unto
the limit capacity of "twelve-and
under' stomachs, from a kids
standpoint it's to be the biggest
day of the whole week.
Tuesday is to be Yakima day,
and record breaking attendance
is confidently expected. Merchants
of the city will close their stores
and set their various staffs at lib
erty for enjoyment of the fair. In
addition to the miscellaneous at
fractions offered. the racing pro-
gram has it's initial offerings lined
up including the Yakima Day Der
by, for a purse of $500.
Designated as Yakima valley
day and Pioneer day, Wednesday
will probably prove to be this year,
the top gate figure. Many towns
up and down the valley will shut
up shop to attend, the older resi-
dents of the various communities
being especially drawn because of
the dedication of the pioneer cab
in on the fair grounds. which is
to be the future official gathering
place for all Yakima's old-timers
and. if far-reaching plans take
shape, the annual mecca for pio-
neers from all over the state. The
cabin is now being rooted and pre-
sents a picturesque appearance

rare horse enthusiasts who will

Saturday is Automobile day, with
five thrilling motorcycle races,
scheduled and probably an automo-
bile race. This days program like
that of the previous ones will be
punctuated with auto push ball

CARNIVAL COM
ING TO ADD TO
ATTRACTION
Rides and Shows are En-
gagged for Fair Dates
Other Departments are
Promising.

It has been felt for some time
that the annual fair has lacked in
entertainment features. This year
this lack will be more than made
up for the fair committee has en-
gagged the services Of one of the
largest and finest carnival outfits
in the west to show here during
the fair dates and on the fair
grounds.
The fair grounds will have TO
be greatly enlarged to accommo-
date the added attractions that
have been booked. Auburn street
will be blocked off and the fair
grounds will cover the vacant lots
back of the Bier battery station,
those north Of the Tin shop, and
the lots facing east back to the
city Jail.
The carnival outfit carries with
it a big circus sideshow. five other
shows. including a minstrel show
featuring % performers, Haw-
allan show with 16 people, an ath-
letic show and two others. Ten
concessions are carried with doll
racks. blanket stands, etc. and
three big new riding devices. A
Merry -go-round. Ferris Wheel and
aeroplane swing will be the big
features.
The fair itself is progressing
nicely according to the committee
which has the exhibits in charge.
The premium lists ave been dis
tributed and entries are being
booked daily. With the exception
of the livestock, the fair will con-
tain a bigger list Of exhibits than
ever before it is thought.
There has been a fine response
from among the business men of
the valley for booths in which to
make Industrial exhibits. Many of
the local merchants are planning
to put up advertising booths for
the two days. Many interesting ex-
hibits are expected from this
source. An automobile show will
also be one of the features. Of the
fair this year.

about myself:

I am a candidate for sheriff for
two big reasons:
First: Because the liquor traffic
in Benton county has grown from
bad to worse. 1t is common COM
plant that the bootleegers. and
manufacturers have gone almost
unhampered, while the victims of
the traffic. or the broken hearted
fathers and mothers of the victims
have had to pay the penalties of
the crimes growing out of the
traffic.

GETTING UP
INTEREST
Dark Horse Looms in
Contest ~ Miss Serier
Leading in Last Count
of Ballots

Tonight's count in the Queen
of the Fair contest shows Miss
Evelyn Serier with a good big
lead. This, however, does not in
dicate that she has the contest
cinched by any means for all the
other candidates have made a nice
showing in the past week, and
most of the candidates are holding
a reserve of ballots.
Rumors are thick today con-
cerning the entry of new candi-
date. Workers along fruit row
have become interested in the
campaign and felt that if they got
the recognition they were entitled
to it would be necessary for them
to back their own candidate. One
was selected and workers were
given tickets and a fine showing
was made. And then their candi-
date decided she was too shy TO
be queen. Gloom. And more gloom.
They are not disheartened. tho, and
a new candidate will likely be an
nounced tomorrow.
The standing of the candidates
on the count made tonight is as
follows.
