This innovation was made possible
by pairing with two other county
fairs in the state. Excellent horse
racing events will take place on
Friday and Sunday afternoons.
Music for the opening day will
be furnished by the newly uni
formed Melrose City band, a fine
musical organization. The program
will include horse racing, with
PAGES and trots on a special racing
program. These horse races, it is
said, will be on a par and even bet
ter than last years events. Horses
which appeared at the Aquaten-
NAL meet, will compete in the local
races.
Platform entertainment for Fri
day afternoon and evening will in
clude some Of the finest acts avail
able, with a varied repertoire of
vaudeville, animal and arcobatic Of
ferings. Taking part in the Fri
day show will be the Whiteside
troupe, Harriott's animals, the
Westerners, Mark and Vale, and
that favorite master magician,
Henry Gordien.
A feature Of the program Satur-
day, August 18th, will be the youth
program, which will start at 10
a. M, and the livestock parade In
front Of the grandstand at lis p.
m. Sank Centres American Leg
ion band, also newly uniformed,
will furnish music for the day.

gram will be complete in every
detail with added attractions of in
terest. Platform acts for the af-
ternoon and evening will include.
Six Merry Makers, the Whirling
Aces, the Mixer, the Freeborn
Trio, and Henry Gordien, who will
again entertain with a complete
change Of magical acts.
The program Sunday, August IA,
will again feature special rae
ing card, with some Of the fastest
PAGERS and trotters available. The
racing programs this year should
be the best ever staged at the fair,
because Of the high-class calibre of
horses entered. Platform attrac-
lions for the day will include:
Sandow Trio, Glorisco Trio, Bar
ney and Lonjie, Aerial Lazellas,
Skating Carriers, and Henry Cor
diem in more magic. The Sank

Road Hazard
Recommend Cutting
Down Banks For Visi-
bility-Hazardous Place

Engineers Of the Great Northern
Ry. Co. met in the depot Wednes-
day morning with Emil Polipnick,
chairman Of Sank Centre Township
supervisors, and representatives
Of the Community Club. This meet
ing was held to discuss safety
measures on a township road
southeast Of this city.
Representing the Community
Club and cooperating with the
township officials were: 8. G.
Schwarzbauer, chairman Of Rural
Roads; d. B. Caughren, chairman
Of Civic Improvements and High
ways! Ed L. Rattle, president of
the club.
The engineers made a survey Of
the road on the township line, be-
ween Sank Centre and Melrose
townships, south Of the Ed Shur-
man farm, relative to safety meas
ures. They recommended cutting
down $50 feet of the high bank on
the north and $50 feet on the west
side. The bank on the west side
will be cut down and the shoulders
on the south side Of the track will
also be widened according to the
survey. They also recommend a
railroad sign on the south side OF
the tracks.
This survey was given at the re-
quest Of township officials, who
wish to eliminate driving hazards
on a popular road. Elimination of
the banks win make the train
visible from all directions.

Whereas, the aluminium drive

also urge all people Of the COM
munity, who have aluminium
utensils they wish to donate, to
have them ready for the boys
and girls Friday morning, so
that a large amount Of the need
ed metal will be delivered dur
ing the weekend.
AS this is a vital part Of the
defense program, I urgently re-
quest that all people give their
wholehearted cooperation to this
event. Encourage the boys and
girls in their effort. Urge them
to do their utmost in a spirit
of friendliness and sportsman
ship, so that the treasure hunt,
besides being a necessity to the
defense program, will be fun
event for every boy and girl
who enters.
I cordially invite everyone to
do their bit-give at least one
item of aluminium ware to this
worthwhile cause. Let's make

munity.
