TO HAVE FAIR
AT BILLINGS

Despite a late start prepare
tons are going forward rapidly
for the 26th Midland Empire
Fair and Rodeo at Billings, the
dates of which have been set
for Aug. IA to 10 inclusive.
Only a Junior fair was held
last year for reasons connected
with the war, and the decision
of the fair board to resume the
event this year was based on the
fact that all over the United
States fairs and rodeoS were be-
ing scheduled as usual with at
least the tacit approval of gov
ernmental and military author
tiles.
With the exception of a few
exhibits in a few departments
which cannot be shown on &C
count of use of Auditorium and
a few other buildings by the de-
Tense plant, the fair will offer
all the educational and enter
tainment features of previous
years, including horse races, cir
Gus acts, rodeo, night show, fire.
works and carnival.
