rounded harvest festival, designed to
bring community neighbors together

on the part of the board of directors
and Secretary w. A. Hauck, aim to
make the county fair in Redwood
Falls possibly the best in the state,
a reputation the county has enjoyed
for years.
The Redwood County Fair in
Redwood Falls stands definitely by
the principle that "the exhibitor is
King" and nothing will be spared,
either in inducement or convenience,
to enable the farmers and homemak-
ers of Redwood county to show their
skill and their products to the best
possible advantage.
Premiums totalirtg nearly $6,OOO.-

ments, with $4,000 of this amount
being allotted to the horse races, thus
giving the Redwood county exposi-
tion the reputation of being one of
the most liberal county fairs in the
state and insuring keen competition
and an exhibition of products that
will be outstanding.
The gate will be free on Monday all
day and evening, the only charge this
first day will be made for the grand
stand Monday evening.
Secretary Hauck stated that all
exhibits must be in before 400 p.
M, on Monday, the first day of the
fair. Judging will begin on Tues
day in all departments, with no ex-
hits being released until Friday
morning, when they must be removed
before noon of that day. The show
will be complete Thursday, giving the
visitors a chance to see all exhibits
on the last day of the fair.
With $4,000 totalling the race
purses, a program has been arranged
in this department that will undoubt-
edly bring the best horses in the
country here. The racing program
will start on Tuesday afternoon with
the 2:2O trot for which there has been
a purse of 100000 set aside. This
trot will be followed Tuesday by the
2:14 pace for a purse of $35O.00. On

There will be free attractions on
the platform every afternoon begin

and continuing each night of the fair,
the Seils-Stering 3 Ring Circus will
