Imperial Valley and county, in Of
fering its second annual county fair
is putting forward an exhibition of
the fine points of this section that
is unsurpassed in the history of
such things, when the fact is taken
into consideration that this is the
second time in the history of the
county such a project has been ac-
complished.
Behind the county fair in its COM
pleted stage is the story of untiring
effort on the part of compare
lively small group of men with the
vision to see that such a fair was.
in its very nature, bound to react
to the good of the valley and those
living in it.
This aim is accomplished by set
ting before the world a record of the
achievements of local people, and
promise of the things still in the fu-
ture for this section.
The fair is recognized as one Of
the greatest factors in making this
valley nationally known, both
through favorable publicity and COM
ment on the part of visitors who see
physical proof of the fact that the
desert has in truth "blossomed like
the rose"
Men Behind the Scenes
Behind the county fair this year.
and directly responsible for its un-
doubted success, is the county fair
commission under the leadership Of
Ben HulSe as president, C. E. Pitzer

secretary manager, and A. H. Kel-
Ter as treasurer.

Imperial Valley in all it's pageant
ry o. astounding development from
q trackless waste to one of the rich
est of Californias many wealthy
agricultural areas, will be epitomized
before thousands of visitors to the
second annual mid-winter county
fair which opens at the fair grounds
near Imperial three days from to-
day.
Making possible the exposition OF
the valleys charms and attributes
is the same spirit which first brought
hardy pioneers to this section,
when they were met with condi-
tions more hard to overcome than
is true of any other great reclama-
ton project in the United States.
The county fair may be said to be
an up-to-date record OF the things
made possible through the far
sighted vision of the handful of men
and women who saw in the desert
wastes of Imperial Valley vision
of rich land and wealthy farms, con-
tented homes and prospering cities.
The valleys second annual fair as
far outranks the first as will those
in the future outrank this.
When the gates of the fair grounds
are thrown open to the thousands
OF eager visitors who will pour
through them from day to day, eX-
hibits representing the wealth OF a
place that has maintained its place
throughout the past year as almost
the only consistently white spot on
the business map of the nation, will
be shown to them.
Every imaginable branch of agri-
culture and industry in Imperial
county will be represented in these
exhibits. housed for the first time
in a permanent building of char
acter to cause pride among the tax
payers of the county, whose fair this,
in reality, is.
Every type of business endeavor in
this section will be presented to the
public, so that it may know the pros
perity of the valley. and the pros
poets for continuance of this pros
perity.
Fruits and vegetables, livestock,
dairy produce, grain, hay. sheep,
hogs, field produce, home products
all and more will be shown to both
valley and outside visitors who at
tend the fair on any one of the nine
days it will remain open. Many Wis
itors from outside points are eX-
pected to attend, and to these Impe-
rial valley will show a wealth OF
promise that should send them away
with a firm opinion that this area
is one of the most outstanding COM
munitieS of the state.
No Dull Moments
Besides the exhibits of an educa-
tional nature a program of enter
tainment never surpassed in the
valley will be offered to those who
are visitors to Imperial county's
show.

GOOD WEATHER IS
ONLY REQUISITE
FOR FINE FAIR

Weather conditions are the only
cause for worry now as far as the
officials of the county fair are con-
cerned. With a wonderful array OF
exhibits secured for the fine new
hall, with all arrangements COM
pleted for entertainment, with the
beautifully Handicapped approach to
the buildings and grandStand, all IS
in readiness for the opening If only

Anxious glances at the sky, eager

resentative of the u. s. weather
bureau, show the state of mind OF
the officials. If the weather is fine,
nothing can hinder the success of
this second annual fair, but if one
of Imperial Valleys unusual wind

occurs, then not SO good for the
fair.
In spite of all inducements Of
fered him for promising ideal fair
weather, the willy Baughman re-
fuses to commit himself to any
prophecy. but fair officials are
seeking comfort in the fact. that

Imperial Valley is an ideal spot
for dairy herds and ranchers are
turning their attention to this in
dustry more and more as modern
transportation facilities bring the
markets into closer proximity.
AT present dairy ranching is IL
its infancy and a great part oI
dairy activities are in an expert
mental stage.
Valuable herds of Guernseys and
Holsteins are to be found in the
valley and are adaptable to local
conditions. Production of pure bred
dairy stock is a source of wide in

art work. hand painted chiya,
tempting preserved fruits and vege-
tables, culinary delicacies OF all
sorts, and masses of beautiful

Entertainment of a purely aes-
thetic nature will be plentiful at
the fair and will be furnished by
local organizations and students OF
the public schools.
During the afternoon OF the
opening day, the Sciot's band will
parade in full regalia and will play
repeatedly as the occasion demands.
Their brilliant, fantastic costumes
will add a pleasing note of bright
ness to the carnival effect of the
first day.

These young musicians are rehears-
ing faithfully and are bound to ap-
pear to advantage.

ed by FL Centro and Brawley
massed bands. This group contains
seasoned musicians from all sec
tions of the valley and their rem
ditions are certain to be eminently
satisfactory.
Since Monday is children's day,
the entertainment committee wise
ly selected the Wilson Grammar
school to provide musical diver
sion.
Yuma Day, February 10. will be

famous Yuma Indian band. This

sary.

amazing what harmony is possible
Nhen youngsters are trained to
play in unison.
Il treat is in store for fair Wis
itors when the Mexican band from
Mexicali appears in concert from 8
to 8 o'clock. Mexican music has a

SPORT OF KINGS
TO BE FEATURED
FOR FIVE DAYS
Many Horses From Aqua
Caliente To Perform
At County Fair.

Bluebloods to the number of some
l25 will, in various races. face the
starting tape on the five day horse
racing program from February IL
to Is at the county fair.
AS the result OF the recent an
nouncement by General Manager
Crofton of the Aqua Caliente track
that he will permit owners to ship
their stock to the county fair here
and back to the Aqua Caliente
track without forfeiting any priv
ileges on that track, some of the
fastest thoroughbreds in California
are assured for the events on the
race program at the annual mid
winter fair.
Baron Long, Caliiornia's premier
breeder of blue blooded racing
stock, evinced great interest in the
races here when interviewed some
time ago by Chairman Frank Lath-
rop of the racing committee for
the county fair.
Long expressed his willingness to
cooperate in any way he possibly
could 10 make the program at the
Imperial county fair a great sue
cess. He indicated that he might
ship several of his racers to Impe-
rial Valley TO compete in the events
at the county fair grounds.
A number of other prominent
horsemen also promised to ship
their stock to the valley for the
races, and how well they have kept
these promises is shown by the list
of owners and horses now at the
fair grounds. and expected daily, to
compete in the events
First Race Wednesday
The first horse race will start
Wednesday with the Inaugural
Handicap. This will be the prin-
cipal event on the opening day of
the races. and fans who like to
watch the bangtails perform are
certain of some fast races, accord
ing to Lathrop.
Each day Of the races will see
an outstanding race, with n num-
Der of minor races to interest the
fans while they wait for the big
spot
Purses to be divided among the
Jockeys and owners taking part in
the fair this year will total $4,000.
1t has been pointed out that the
races at the fair grounds will give
little owners of racing stock n
chance to get their mounts into fine
metal for the more important races
on other California tracks.
Racing at the fair grounds will
open Wednesday, February IL, and
last through Thursday. Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. Thus any
fan who cannot attend the races
on any one day will be given a
chance to watch the thoroughbredS
on some other day.
The largest crowd to attend the
fair is expected Sunday, when thC
biggest events on the horse racing
card will be run.
For a number of weeks interest
in the county lair races has been
growing. until SportSmen in all
parts of the valley are spending
most of their spare time discussing
the merits and faults of the horses
entered in the events.

the booth will present an attrac-
tive appearance, while needlework
and such objects will be much more
effectively displayed when mount
ed on colored back ground. Green
has been chosen because 1t har-
monizes with the majority OF colors
and because it will blend well with
the bright hued flowers. =
All sorts of embroidery work
made by the women of the county
will be displayed and since there
are many who do exquisite needle
work, this feature of the exhibit is
sure to attract attention. The list
of articles to be entered is decided

emphasized that awards will be
made on the quality of the work
and not on the material used.
