OPENS TUESDAY
Fine Program Gives Promise for Countys Eighty
Big Annual Show Being the Best in
Fairs Long History
Includes Fine Exhibits Parades Saddle Horse Show Auto
Show, Fast Racing, Midway, Band Concerts,
Four-H Clubs Work, Etc.


One of the busiest places in the
county during the past week has been
that of the Butler County Agricultural
Society in the court house, and the |
busiest man of all is Secretary Will
liam NJ Brown, all because of prepa-
ration for Butler county's big annual
fair, which opens next Tuesday. This
is Secretary Browns first year in
charge of the fair, but he goes at it
like an old stager and as though he
never did anything else in his life.
He is being assisted by some OF the
old-timers in the game, and this
makes much for the smoothness with
which everything seems to be running
along in arranging for the big show
Pete Seibold, known to almost every
fair follower in the country, is first
assistant to Secretary Brown, and
will be in charge of the office force.
That means nothing else to worry
about so far as this department is
concerned, and some of the others as
we'll. William (BilD Morton, for many
years locator of concessions, will
again be in charge as of old, and that
means the usual fine set-up of shows,
privileges, exhibits outside the build
ings, etc.
| The offices in the court house were
opened officially on Thursday morn
ing, and Secretary Brown reports
applications for concessions and the
many entries made already in all de-
partments indicate that the fair this
year will be one of the biggest, if not
the biggest and most successful in
the long history of the Butler County
! Agricultural Society. The members OF
the fair board have worked long and
| diligently in the attempt to bring
this years show UP to the high stand
ard of the annual expositions of the
past and to exceed that standard,
and they are deserving CT the sup
port of every citizen of Butler county
| in their efforts.
Elaborate Program
This is to be the eighty-first an
nual exhibition of the fair. Sure is a
long time. From a modest beginning
of a display of farm products, fancy
work. horse racing and gathering of
a few takers. one the lot where the
gas tank is located on High street
opposite 9th street, the Butler county
fair has grown to be one OF "the
greatest aggregations, as the circus
man would say, of its kind in the
country.
The program for the show this year,
as given out by the board, gives
promise of one of the best fairs stag
ed in the state this year. There will

stuffs, live stock, poultry, farm ma
chinery, displays of all kinds, shows

big purses offered by the board TO,

, for on the county track next week.
